Chapter 27 Morning Kiss
Kallum was completely stummed, but he didn’t say anything because he could feel that the needle that Calista had inserted was indeed that Heart Needle. She was really so highly skilled? She knew legendary acupuncture techniques?
Kallum started to feel that the deal she was striking with him wasn’t a joke after all, but that she was really able to do it.
After Shaun left. Kallum remained by her bedside and Calista was frowning in her sleep.
He instinctively tried to rub away the frown lines between her eyebrows, but she ended up frowning even harder.
Kallum pursed his hips, and guiltily took back his hand.
When Calista was sleeping she still looked gentle, not like the aggressive, cold and mocking girl she was earlier, instead now she looked demure and fragile.
Was she really the one who jumped in to save him? She was already willing to die for him at nine years
old?
Kallum smiled a little, then flicked Calista’s face gently. “I don’t have any evidence to prove what you said, but I’ve decided to help you this time. Not for the sake of a billion dollar deal but…just take it as an apology for everything in the past, I hope you aren’t bluffing me.”
Calista woke up to find herself aching all over, but after practicing her basic techniques on the bed, she felt much better.
She didn’t really understand why she went all out the night before either – perhaps people make bad decisions when they’re too tired.
But then again, Kallum unexpectedly agreed to the deal even though that needle was a very powerful one, people without any knowledge of its benefits wouldn’t appreciate its real value.
As long as he was agreeable, it would be easier to get back at those enemies of hers….in exchange, she was really prepared to bring billions of dollars in for Kallum!
After taking a bath, she changed into the clothes that were prepared for her and went downstairs calmly.
She was surprised that Kallum was still around, and his eyes lit up a little when he saw her come down.
He just knew Calista would look nice on these clothes when she wasn’t being sharp tongued, cheongsams were very suitable for her elegant aura.
Calista pushed her hair behind her ears, revealing her cold, sparkling eyes. Since there was breakfast on the table, she sat down to eat,
Kallum gracefully held up a cup of coffee and asked with a little bit of interest in his voice. “What’s wrong with your eyes?”
In the past Calista always had a thick fringe, so nobody ever saw the sparkle in her eyes, which was like a

Calista’s eyes darkened and ignored his question, instead asking. “About what you promised me last night – when can you get it done?”
She wanted to become the goddaughter of the Fairchilds, and to complete the process, there would definitely be a banquet of sorts and important people would be invited. This public announcement would enable her to erase that irritating fiancée label, and also make it easier to do what she intended to do.
Kallum narrowed his eyes, then suddenly broke into a smile, “A month. After a month you can get what
you want.”
Very few people could resist Kallum’s smile, because he was simply too good looking. He was very arrogant, but then he did have every reason to be.
Calista looked down and nodded..
Given the importance of the matter, one month was quite fast.
“Register a pharmaceutical business as soon as possible. Since you’ve held up your end of the agreement, I will too.”
Considering how much Kallum was worth, a billion dollars was a lot of money but it didn’t interest him- he was more interested in Calista.
Kallum didn’t know the reason why he wanted to try breaking this cold expression of Calista’s. He much preferred the way she used to look at him, that shy and helpless look.
“You’re very good looking, ok? Can I stop looking at you now?”
He had a pair of deep set upturned almond eyes, and because he had some Caucasian heritage, his features were very sharp and defined, his pupils carrying a little mysterious purplish tinge, plus a tiny mole at his left eye corner – one could only say that this face was a masterpiece, every detail of stunning beauty! This very face once mesmerized her, making her unable to tear her eyes away…
The two of them were separated only by a table, and when their eyes met, Kallum held his breath.
