Chapter 297 Aiming For A Child
âIt isnât actually that dangerous,â Calista analyzed. âSince they choose to kill him by staging an accident, it shows that the person only dares to operate in the shadows. Theyâre not really a threat, so thereâs no need to mobilize so many people.â
âWhy shouldnât I?â Kallum raised an eyebrow, stating firmly, âI wonât let anything disrupt our wedding!â
Calista couldnât help but laugh. âYouâre taking this so seriously, so I guess I have no choice but to aim for a child at the same time?â
Kallum also laughed. âThat would be perfect!â
At that moment, Paul suddenly approached, speaking with a hint of hesitation.
âMr. Kallum, Mr. Yost and his daughter are requesting to meet you.â
Kallumâs heart skipped a beat as he glanced at Calista somewhat uneasily. This is strange. I havenât done anything wrong, so why am I feeling guilty?
Calista, however, said with great interest, âThe Yost family? Perhaps they have to beg for mercy. Let them
in.â
Upon hearing Calistaâs instructions, Paul promptly set off to carry them out. After all, everyone knew that Calistaâs commands were essentially Kallumâs wishes.
âCallic, if you donât want to meet them, you really donât have to.â
With a huff, Kallum grudgingly added, âItâs not like they are anyone of importance.â
âNo, I just wanted to see what Mirabelle has become after a year in prison.â
After all, there was nothing more satisfying than witnessing oneâs adversaryâs misfortune.
Before long, she caught sight of Mirabelle, gracefully adorned in a white dress. Considering the weather, it was quite a feat for the latter to wear such a thin dress. Mirabelle seemed unchanged from a year ago, which left Calista somewhat disappointed.
If Mirabelle knew what Calista was thinking, she would surely be livid.
Her life was anything but unchanged. In just over a year, the reputation she painstakingly built in the entertainment industry was ruined. After the scandal at school, she could no longer attend it. She had always aspired to marry into a prestigious family, but now, no one would ever marry a convicted felon, let alone the Fairchild family.
In the past, Mirabelle was a lady of high society, desired by many. However, she had fallen from grace, her current status barely a notch above Quincy.
âKalâ Mirabelle first gave Kallum a pitiful glance, then turned her attention to Calista. âCallieâ¦â
Her father, George, also appeared distressed. âMr. Kallum, Ms. Stafford, Iâve come with my daughter to apologize.â
He appeared considerably thinner, bearing the marks of a life filled with hardships. âWe hope that you will

Silas was not at home, and Wanda had even less tolerance for them, so she didnât show up. If it wasnât for Calistaâs request to see them, it was uncertain whether the Yost family would have even been allowed in..
With a scoff, Kallum said, âDonât you think coming to apologize now is a little too late?â
George was immediately awash with embarrassment. They hadnât even sat down yet, but Kallumâs intention to kick them out was crystal clear.
âMr. Kallum, there might be a misunderstanding here. We have come with a sincere heartâ¦â
Seeing that her words didnât sway Kallum, Mirabelle darkened her gaze. However, she quickly shifted her attention to Calista and spoke.
âCallie⦠there are some things Iâd like to discuss with you privately. Could you step out for a bit and let our father chat with Kal in private?â
âWhatever it is, you can say it here. I am her husband. Thereâs nothing I shouldnât hear.â
Upon hearing that Mirabelle planned to spend time alone with Calista, Kallum was instantly reminded of the previous incident where Mirabelle smashed Calista with a stone. He instantly grew wary.
Mirabelle put on a look of hurt, but she didnât back down. She was determined to see Calista today, no matter what.
âCallie, do you not want to know about your sisterâs affairs?â
âQuincy?â Calista suddenly seemed interested. She pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and said, âAlright then, letâs go for a walk.â
âCallie?â Kallum held onto Calistaâs hand, the disagreement on his face was telling. âIâm staying with you. After all, I donât have anything to talk about with Mr. Yost.
âMr. Kallum..â George pleaded, breaking into a cold sweat. âPlease, grant me another chance. The Yost family sincerely wants to offer our apologiesâ¦
Calista waved her hand dismissively. âNo worries. You just stay here and chat with Mr. Yost. As it happens, I too would like to catch up with Ms. Yost.â
Upon seeing that Calistaâs mind was made up, Kallum, despite his disagreement, could only direct his frustration at the Yost family. I canât believe them. Hasnât Callie suffered enough? Why canât these people take the hint?
Kallumâs concern nearly drove Mirabelle to grit her teeth in frustration, as Kallum had never cared so much for someone before. If she hadnât witnessed it herself, Mirabelle would never have believed it, but seeing it with her own eyes only fueled her resentment.
âThis way please.â
Calista spoke to Mirabelle, prompting her to finally pull away the lingering gaze she had no Kallum. Then, she left with Calista.
Within the garden of Fairchild Manor, the weather was gloomy, looking like it was going to rain. Consequently, some of the valuable flower species had been moved indoors.
âGo on, what do you wo tell me?â

âCallic.. Mirabelle said with a hurt tone, âDo we really have to be this distant? Over the past year, Iâve been filled with regret every day in jail. Now, I truly regret my actions. Could you give me another chance for us to continue being friends?â
Her face was pale as she spoke earnestly. If it had been the old Calista, she might have wavered
momentarily. But nowâ¦.
