Chapter 359 Cannot Back Down

Seeing that Kallum remained silent, Wanda huffed. “Tell me. Do you really want to just stand by and watch

Callic move out?”

Of course, I don’t want to!

Every time Kallum thought about Calista packing her bags, he couldn’t help but wish he could burn down her new home.

Catching a glimpse of Kallum, Wanda knew what was on his mind. He’s still thinking of Callie. They had a heated argument, and with Kallum’s pride, he couldn’t back down for the moment. But Callie is about to leave, not giving him a chance to make amends. So, in his desperation, he had no choice but to adopt a strong–arm tactic.

Wanda shook her head. “Callie is not like other girls. I had no idea she had such a tough childhood…. That’s why she’s destined to be more sensitive, a bit harder to pursue than others. And you, you’ve already taken a hundred steps, what’s another hundred? Compared to her second chance at life, what’s trying one more time?”

Wanda spoke intentionally in this manner. She could tell that Kallum didn’t want to let Calista go. Since he couldn’t swallow his pride to speak up, and Calista didn’t provide him a way out, she, as an elder, decided to step in and break the ice.

Kallum found himself somewhat moved. Despite his declaration that night that he would never plead with her again. he couldn’t help but soften whenever he thought of her in her disheveled clown makeup. Her eyes. filled with sorrow yet smiling, always tugged at his heartstrings. He was somewhat regretful for having spoken so harshly.

Should I give in to Calista?

Kallum felt resistant again. After all, they had just had a heated argument a few days ago. If he were to back. down so quickly, that girl would only become more uncontrollable in the future.

Wanda patted his shoulder. “I’ve said all I can. Happiness is something you fight for. In my eyes, Kallum, you’ve already missed her once. You shouldn’t miss her a second time.”

After Wanda left, Kallum fell into silence.

Wanda stated that he had missed his chance with her once, implying that he hadn’t held onto her when she was in love with him.

However, to Kallum, he realized he had missed her twice.

She had once loved him with all her life, viewing his affection as the only belief she adhered to. That was why, even in times of loneliness and despair, she chose to stay in Horington. However, his unintentional actions caused her to lose hope. And so, he missed out on her twice.

With that thought in mind, Kallum suddenly rose to his feet, a sense of urgency washing over him.

He

uldn’t just let her walk away like that. Once she left, the chances of mending their relationship would become incredibly difficult.

Therefore, Kallum gritted his teeth and left the study.

been tempted to be with Kallum. However, each time, for various reasons, she had held herself back.

Kallum always felt that her mood was unpredictable. In reality, she was simply lacking in confidence. She had always felt insecure around him because she had once been humiliated in front of him, a feeling of inferiority that others could never truly understand. Therefore, she appeared to be indecisive.

However, all that didn’t matter now. Ever since the incident at the research center, she realized there was no longer any possibility between Kallum and her. She was a bit reluctant before, but that night, she suddenly made up her mind.

Hesitation in making a necessary decision would only lead to more troubles.

“Yes”

you really leaving?” Kallum appeared at the door, his face grim as he watched her packing her bags.

Calista was relentless in her actions. She was the type of person who, once she made a decision, would never waver. Having accepted that there was no possibility with Kallum, she believed moving out was the best solution.

“You’re supposed to administer acupuncture for me every three days. You haven’t forgotten, right?” Kallum’s tone was dry, giving off the impression that he wanted her to stay, yet he was too stubborn to

admit it.

“I remember,” Calista said, her tone completely devoid of emotion.

Feeling a bit defeated and dissatisfied, Kallum remarked, “The research lab is right here in Fairchild Manor. What’s the point of you running around every day? This house can easily accommodate one more person. I’ll let you move out once your experiment is successful!”

Without turning her head, Calista said, “It’s okay. I’m willing t

travel.”

Kallum clenched his fists. “Have you ever thought about my mom? She adores you and treats you like her, own daughter. Are you just going to up and leave?”

This time, Calista paused in her actions before responding. “She has already agreed.”

This was simply a case of being stuck with a useless ally to Kallum.

He was seething with anger. Seeing Calista still packing, he wished he could throw her suitcase out or hide it away.

“I haven’t told anyone about your miscarriage yet, and here you are, moving out. Are you trying to make everyone think I’m an irresponsible man, huh?”

Kallum deliberately blocked her way, preventing her from continuing to pack up.

Calista furrowed her brows. Is it really that difficult for me to want to live alone?

“I don’t care about the rumors and gossip.”

“I do care!” Kallum instinctively kicked the box away, glaring at her. “How would others gossip about my family and the baby? Are you trying to plunge my family into a state of dishonor?”

Calista raised an eyebrow at him. There are so many single, pregnant women in Horington, each with their

reasons. Who would dare to use such a thing to tarnish the reputation of the Fairchild family? Are they seeking death? Moreover, if I were to move out at this point, the rumors and gossip would only target me. People might start questioning if the child is not Kallum’s, hence the Fairchild family’s treatment toward me. In principle, the Fairchild family wouldn’t suffer any loss.
