Her Vengeful Rebirth by Anastasia novel Chapter 421

hapter 421 Thank You For Teaching Me What Love Is 

“Callie,” he called her name, his tone serious. Although she couldn’t see his eyes, Calista could sense his eyelashes fluttering rapidly beneath her palm. He seemed nervous and was not as carefree and composed as he appeared to be. 

“Thank you,” Kallum said. 

“Why are you suddenly thanking me?” 

Kallum chuckled lightly, his gaze seemingly fixed on her as if he was contemplating in his mind how to articulate his thoughts. It took him a few seconds before he finally said, “When I used to be into you, all I wanted was to claim you. Back then, you were disobedient, always trying to provoke me, and that just made me want to claim you even more.” 

He was referring to the early days of their relationship, a time characterized by an invasive style of interaction. 

“Later on. 

on, my thoughts became more extreme. Even though we interacted daily without me putting any pressure on you, I found myself thinking more than once that if you couldn’t defeat the virus, I would rather drag you down with me. I love you, and I simply couldn’t bear the thought of you being with another man if I were to die. Just the mere thought of it made me want to destroy the world.” 

He flashed a grin, his pearly white teeth contrasting his fair complexion, creating a captivating image. Yet, Calista couldn’t help but sense a hint of bitterness in his gaze at that moment. 

“You see, I’ve always been a selfish person, From childhood, I simply took whatever I desired. There were no obstacles in my path. Even if there were, it didn’t matter as I always got what I wanted. So, in my mind, the concept of giving without expecting anything in return never existed. If I gave, I was certain to receive something in return, and it had to be double the value of what I give. But now, with you, I’m beginning to experience a different feeling.” 

As he spoke to this point, Kallum seemed somewhat uncertain, carefully choosing his words as he continued, 

“That feeling is akin to satisfaction, tolerance, or perhaps devotion. Huh… I never thought such words. existed in my vocabulary, but that is the truth. I found myself increasingly content in devoting myself to you, much like a follower toward his religion. As long as you accept me, I am satisfied. My devotion to you was born out of love, and when I give, I truly never expect anything in return.” 

After having spoken so much, Kallum seemed somewhat embarrassed. He spoke lightly yet earnestly as he uttered each word and sentence. 

“So, thank you for teaching me what love is. I was very immature before, but I won’t be anymore. I love you,” he declared, willing to profess it to her every day with the same devotion as a religious follower. 

After finishing his words, Kallum held his breath and waited for Calista’s response. What he didn’t realize was that, at some point, Calista’s face had become streaked with tears. 

Tears silently trickled down her temples, one drop at a time. She stared at the man before her, who anxiously awaited her response. She remained silent, afraid that her voice would crack if she spoke. 

How could I allow myself to cry? How could I reveal such a vulnerable side of myself? Shouldn’t I have lost the ability to shed tears long ago?

“Callie?” Kallum called her name, then reached out, intending to remove the hand she was covering his 

eyes with. 

Somewhat flustered, Calista hastily wiped away her tears and quickly said, “Don’t look at me!” 

Kallum felt that her reaction was off, and a sense of urgency crept in. He quickly pulled her hand down, only to have Calista suddenly turn around and bury her face into the pillow. 

Feeling puzzled, Kallum looked at her and asked, “What’s wrong? Did something I say upset you?” 

Hitting a nerve wasn’t a new experience for him. Although he felt somewhat anxious asking about it now, he also felt rather calm about it. 

Calista stubbornly buried her face in her pillow, refusing to move. As her unusual behavior puzzled Kallum, he tried to gently move her face into view and ask her what was wrong. However, all he found was the dampness of her tears soaking the pillow. 

Callie is crying? 

He quickly turned her over, and sure enough, Calista’s beautiful eyes were red with a hint of panic. She resembled a small, helpless rabbit. 

Almost instinctively, she reached up to cover her face, concealing the scar that marred her features. Her sparkling eyes, now even more prominent, evoked a deep sense of affection from those who beheld her. 

“Don’t cry!” 

Kallum was panicking a little. I thought that my confession would make her very happy. Why is she crying instead?
