Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 67

Calista hadn’t replied, but Quintus was shocked by how thick-skinned her younger sister was. He frowned and said unhappily, “Mr. Kallum did not invite anyone else.”

Quincy looked pitifully at Benedict, and seeing that his younger daughter wanted to go, he put in a word for her quickly, “Callie, bring Quincy along. She’s still recovering from her shock, and it’ll be good for her to get some fresh air.”

He did not know that Quincy had any other motives, and thought she just wanted to go out for a walk. In the past, whenever Wanda invited Calista over and Quincy wanted to tag along, Calista never rejected her, so he thought Calista wouldn’t reject taking Quincy this time either,

Calista laughed and looked meaningfully at Quincy and asked, “I’m going to be all lovey dovey with your brother-in-law, why do you want to follow us?”

Her pointed words made the tension in the house very strange, but before Quincy could explain herself, Calista laughed in an oddly evil manner.

“You used to be like that too – whenever Mrs. Fairchild asked me over to the Fairchilds', you would insist on tagging along. What is your motive? My fiancé doesn’t have any brothers, you know.”

“Callie!” Benedict was taken aback by this reaction. He threw a glance at Quintus who was busy trying to mind his own business, and continued unhappily, “Why are you saying such things! Quincy just wants to accompany you.”

Yelena chipped in too, “That’s right, Callie! You don’t really like to talk much, so if Quincy goes she could help to fill up the awkward silence, otherwise other people might think we have no manners…”

Fill up the awkward silence? Didn’t Quincy steal the limelight every time, and only finally shut up when Calista was pushed into a corner?

Quincy quickly nodded her head along with her parents, but she looked guilty because the real reason why she wanted to go was that she liked Kallum and that was also why she wanted to ruin Calista’s reputation so desperately – if he called off the engagement to Calista, she could be next in line!

Even if she wasn’t, at least she would be rid of one rival.

Calista walked down the last step and shook her head as she smiled at Quincy. “And what if I don’t want you to go?”

Quincy immediately looked at Benedict to set this straight for her.

Calista put up her hand as if to stop everything. “Dad, what would people think if my younger sister constantly tagged along when I have a date with my fiancé? Even if Quincy doesn’t have any ill intentions, how would others see this? That you want him to choose from either of your daughters? Or that both of us might as well share one husband?”

Her bold and direct words made Benedict’s face turn completely red. He suddenly realized that it was indeed inappropriate for Quincy to go along with them, but at the same time Calista had been too direct with him as well and had embarrassed him. But since Quintus was around, he did not say anything to Calista. Instead he turned to Quincy and said, “…Your sister is right. How about this? Since you want to go out, Mummy and I will take you out later, so don’t disturb your sister, ok?”

This was the first time Quincy was rejected, and she was afraid that Calista wouldn’t bring her along anymore. So she gathered up the anger in her heart and burst out, “Why doesn’t she want me around? Does she want to do something in secret?” She suddenly had a look of epiphany and pretended to be all shy as she continued, “Oh that’s right, I nearly forgot! My sister has already done it with Mr. Kallum!”

This matter made Benedict’s face darken as well, and he started to change his mind again.

Callie was only eighteen…even though they were engaged, but…it was better not to do anything like that.

He was about to respond when a loud voice rang out, “You’ve guessed it right, I miss Callie very much, but we’re engaged to marry, do you have any further objections?”

Kallum had waited for a long time outside but nobody came out, so he decided to go in and check, only to overhear such a ridiculous conversation. He had noticed from a long time ago that Quincy liked to tag along to the Fairchilds’, and that she had feelings for him, but he never bothered about her. But now this little tag along buddy had issues with his woman?

Kallum’s presence was very dominating, so from the moment he walked in, Benedict and Yelena didn’t dare to say anymore. Quincy was initially shocked, then she put on a pitiful face and looked at Kallum, “Mr. Kallum, I…I…don’t have any ill intentions…”

Kallum didn’t even look at her, but walked over to Calista and pulled her waist towards himself.

The overbearing sun rays immediately turned into a gentle drizzle. “Why didn’t you pick up my calls? Are you still angry with me? Hmm?”

This show of intimacy as if there was nobody else watching shocked everyone in the house, with the exception of Quintus. Since when was Mr. Kallum so chummy with Ms. Calista!
