Chapter 394 Do Not Return From Now

Calista raised an eyebrow slightly, reminiscing about that night when she barged into the Langley residence and grinning.

Seeing Calista smile, Benedict felt even more uncertain.

“I had intended to pay her medical bills out of the kindness of my heart, as we had shared a brief acquaintance, and then leave. However… she clung onto me. She claimed she was homeless, and if I wasn’t willing to take her in, she might as well have been left to die in the hospital!” Benedict shook his head. “She also said that she’d do anything, even slave away, as long as I was willing to take her in. She mentioned that she had no other choice back then and now she feels deeply sorry for me…”

Benedict furrowed his brows in distress. “Moreover, she looked miserable. Her face was so thin it was almost unrecognizable. It seemed she really learned her lesson.”

Strictly speaking, Benedict was a kind–hearted man with a forgiving nature. Despite the way Yelena had treated him in the past, which had initially filled him with resentment, time had softened his anger. Seeing Yelena’s miserable state, he no longer harbored such intense resentment and even felt a strong sense of sympathy toward her.

Calista set down her cup. “Where is she now?”

“She’s at our place,” replied Benedict.

Upon hearing that Benedict had arrived, Kallum thought that his soon–to–be father–in–law was there to claim someone. Without a second thought, he quickly wrapped up his work and returned from the office, only to replace Calista packing clothes,

“What are you doing?” Kallum’s towering figure blocked the doorway. His brows furrowed in a clear display of displeasure as if he was on the verge of losing his temper.

Meanwhile, Benedict was off to one side, trying to mediate the situation. “Yeah, Callie, with all the chaos at home right now, perhaps it’s better if you don’t return right now.”

Kallum raised an eyebrow slightly, noticing that Benedict didn’t want Calista to return. It seems something is up. No matter. I won’t let my wife leave this building! Hmph!

Calista looked at Kallum. Seeing that he had returned so quickly, she walked over and spoke with a hint of resignation. “I want to go home for a few days.”

Kallum was taken aback. Just as he was about to voice his disapproval, Calista swiftly covered his mouth. with her hand, emphasizing her point. “Just for a few days!”

Kallum glanced at Benedict, asking with discontent, “What’s the point of going back?”

Benedict was off to the side, sweating bullets. My daughter isn’t even married yet, so why can’t she return to her parents‘ home? Why do I feel guilty every time I meet the gaze of my prospective son–in–law?

Calista chuckled lightly. “Yelena has nowhere else to go, so she slaving away at our place. She used to bully me so much. Now that I have the chance to turn the tables, of course I want to go back and enjoy it!”

“Her again?” Kallum frowned in disdain, feeling that even though those people were insignificant, they clung to her like superglue, impossible to shake off no matter how hard she tried.

Calista nodded in agreement. Mirabelle and Quincy were both out of the picture, and Yelena was almost there, too. Yelena was on the brink of ruin, with no possible chance of turning things around. However, Yelena had chosen not to take the easy way out. Instead, she had fallen right into Calista’s hands. Given that opportunity, Calista couldn’t help but toy with Yelena a bit, indulging in her own twisted sense of

amusement.

“Is it really just because you want to have some fun?” Kallum didn’t see anything wrong with Calista’s intention to retaliate. After all, she had suffered countless times at the hands of Yelena since childhood. However, Kallum was worried that could be an excuse for Calista to leave. She had been wanting to slip away for quite some time, and if she succeeded, he wouldn’t feel at ease without her under his watchful cyes.

“I promise!” Calista solemnly raised her hand in a vow. Her petite face was still marred with several scars, but to Kallum, her serious demeanor was absolutely endearing.

However, he was still quite hesitant.

Seeing that he remained silent, Calista leaned in and whispered softly, “You can’t push me too hard, you know, You have to give me some space to think.”

She let out a sigh.

Kallum’s eyes lit up when he heard that. What does she mean by that? Could it be that she’s once again faltering because of him?

Kallum intensely gazed at her, his handsome face stern, as he hesitated before asking. “What if the conclusion you’ve reached isn’t what I’m hoping for?”

A hint of bewilderment flashed in Calista’s eyes.

Seeing that she was genuinely contemplating, rather than using it as an excuse to leave, was merely a small change. Yet, for Kallum, it was enough.

He stared at her for a moment, and finally, his tense body relaxed. Forget it. After all, I have plenty of time to win her over.

“All right, you may go.” Suddenly, Kallum extended a finger, pressing it firmly against her forehead as he declared menacingly, “However, you only have one week. I’m giving you just one week. Come back once. you’ve had your fill!”

Calista originally thought that convincing Kallum, who had made a special trip to meet her, would be a tough task. To her surprise, he agreed quickly, leaving her stunned.

Moreover, when Kallum poked her forehead a few times with his finger, she didn’t understand why, but she felt as though her heart had also been tapped twice by the same finger, causing it to waver a bit.

Even though Kallum was only in his twenties, the way he looked at her, his brows furrowed and lips pursed, a mix of helplessness and indulgence in his gaze, she genuinely felt as if she was being cherished and held in high regard.

She wondered if she could really be with Kallum again.

Even on her journey back home, she was still pondering that.

Her life, whether she liked it or not, seemed to be inextricably intertwined with that name. It was a
