Chapter 151 The Same Bed
Calista remained silent. Nestling in Kallum’s embrace, she widened her eyes, though her gaze was unfocused and blank.
That night with Kallum felt like it happened in another lifetime. That particular night might have been thrilling, frightening, and joyful, but now, she couldn’t recall anything else aside from the pain. “Talking about it seemed pointless.
Kallum continued, “I’m telling you this not to shirk responsibility or seek forgiveness. I just want to say that I will believe in you from now on. No matter who stands against you, as long as I live, I’ll always be on your side.”
He lowered his head and planted a tender, careful kiss on Calista’s temple. He said bitterly, “I apologize for what I did to you in the past, Callic. You’re a kind–hearted girl, and despite how I treated you before, you never held any grudge against me. I’m truly grateful for that. But now, even if you were to hate me, I don’t wish to hold no place in your heart.”
He wanted to be her one and only. He wanted to possess her entirely! Even though he knew he shouldn’t. he simply couldn’t restrain himself.
However, he didn’t receive a response for a long time.
When he looked down, it turned out that Calista had already fallen asleep!
Kallum was initially taken aback, but seeing how peacefully she slept in his arms, he couldn’t help but
smile.
“Callie… Callie, what am I to do with you?”
When Calista woke up the next day, she felt warm and cozy in bed. Unaware, she snuggled further only to
realize she was in someone’s arms!
When she lifted her head, she found herself looking at Kallum’s handsome face. She was momentarily speechless. Kallum, now awake, kept his eyes half–closed. He pulled Calista into his arms, holding her as if she were a cherished doll, before drifting back to sleep.
What is going on?
With a stern expression, Calista jabbed at Kallum and calmly asked, “Why are you in my bed?”
Only then did Kallum open his eyes. Calista noticed that his dark purple pupils had recently become lighter. When he opened his eyes in the morning light, Calista felt as if she was looking at two pure, purple gemstones, which were both captivating and mesmerizing.
“Is it uncomfortable to sleep like this?” Kallum asked in a hoarse voice.
Calista froze. That’s not the point! Her bed was right next to his. Moreover, she was supposed to act as his sister. How could they share a bed?
“Is it uncomfortable?” he asked again.
Calista replied coldly, “It is comfortable, but…”
T
anymore. I’m sick and can’t touch you, but we’re sleeping in the same room anyway. What difference does it make whether we share a bed or sleep separately?”
Calista wanted to resist, but she had to admit that Kallum had a point. Everyone knew Kallum wouldn’t do anything to her and had accepted the fact that they shared a room. However, that didn’t mean they were obliged to share the same bed!
From then on, he wanted to hold her in his arms every night as they fell asleep. He wanted her to be the first thing he saw when he woke up. Just like this!
That wouldn’t be him.
