Chapter 328 Walk Towards Your

“You really didn’t have to go to such lengths… Even so, I must call off the engagement!”

Kallum lowered his hand from her ear, holding her even tighter as he said, “It’s fine if you wish to cancel the wedding. Anything you dislike should vanish from this world, and that includes me.”

In the aftermath of the explosion, he turned her around to face him, looking directly into her eyes as he continued. “Do you hate me? If you do, there’s a simple solution. You don’t need to keep me alive any longer. Soon, I’ll vanish from your sight, just like this place.”

It seemed as though Calista was scorched by his gaze, for the first time a desire to flee arose within her. Yet, Kallum held her firmly in his grip.

Do I hate him? If I do, then why have I never wished for his demise? Yet, if I don’t, then why can’t I accept him?

“Answer me, Calista. Do you hate me?”

“I…” Calista felt as though she was stuck in a dilemma. In the midst of the chaos, she instinctively said, “I don’t hate you.”

She simply couldn’t accept him again.

Even so, it seemed as though Kallum was content with her answer. He held her close, a bitter smile playing at his lips as he whispered in her car,

“All right; remember what you’ve said. You don’t despise me, so you can’t leave me.”

She plans to leave after curing me? There’s no way I would allow it!

Sure enough, Calista was highly resistant. She furrowed her brows, attempting to push him away, but was. held even tighter by Kallum.

“As long as you stay, I will agree to all of your demands,” he promised.

Calista was taken aback when she heard that,

“The wedding can be called off, but you cannot leave me!” With great effort, Kallum managed to utter these words nonchalantly, yet his heart was bleeding. They were soon to be husband and wife, but now, he found himself having to step back just to keep her by his side.

He had already shown considerable sincerity by going this far. Calista even felt that it would be somewhat ungrateful of her to reject him again.

But why? How could someone as prideful as Kallum go to such lengths for me?

“Don’t assume that I’d be with you just because you keep me here!”

Hoping to push him to give up, Calista wanted to maintain her cold facade to provoke him further. However, she was unaware of how helpless her expression looked, and how much it tugged at his heartstrings.

Unable to resist, Kallum gently lowered his head and kissed her forehead, letting out a soft chuckle.

steps between us, all you need to do is watch me walk towards you.”

The sounds of the explosions gradually ceased, and the structure that once resembled a castle had vanished without a trace, leaving only ruins scattered across the ground.

Calista’s body trembled slightly, her heart that had been pounding since the start slowly began to calm, leaving her with a sense of dizziness as if she had just finished an intense workout.

At the same time, she couldn’t believe that Kallum had shattered the shadow weighing on her heart so casily.

He really is.

“It’s getting late; let’s head home. Remember, our lives aren’t entirely in our own hands just yet.”

As the fiery clouds receded, the beautiful twilight hues took over. Flowers swayed gently, as if the heart- stopping events that had just occurred were nothing but an illusion. The sound of Kallum’s voice seemed unexpectedly more relaxed than before.

Calista took a step back and said, “I can walk by myself.

With a stern expression, she pushed Kallum away. However, her retreating figure seemed somewhat disheveled. It was clear that both she and Kallum needed to sort out their thoughts. One could imagine, at this point, that Calista’s emotions must have been nearing the breaking point.

Upon seeing Calista emerge first, Quintus initially wanted to stop her. However, noticing Kallum just behind her, he halted in his tracks. To be honest, it was fortunate that they were in the territory of the Fairchild family. Otherwise, the commotion earlier would have certainly caused a panic.

In his heart, Quintus was at a loss for words. He had spent billions on renovations, with the third floor. alone consuming a significant amount of his effort.

“Shall we return now, Mr. Kallum?”

He may have had his complaints, but seeing Calista obediently get in the car, it was clear that the two of them had started to “make up“. He let out a sigh of relief in knowing that those billions hadn’t been wasted after all.

“Yeah.” Kallum nodded, but unlike his earlier relaxed self, he now appeared somewhat solemn. “Put word. out that the wedding is postponed,” he ordered.

Although he had told Calista that their engagement was off, in Kallum’s perspective, it was merely a postponement. He wanted others to know that Calista was still his woman, and that the wedding was merely put on hold.

Quintus was taken aback when he leard that.

So, they haven’t made up yet! Mr. Kallum must have been very upset….

“Understood, Mr. Kallum.”

“That’s good.” Kallum said as he got into the car.

Returning to Fairchild Manor once more, Calista felt an uncanny sensation. This only served to prove that she had truly considered Fairchild Manor as her home before this.

“Callie!” Wanda was the first to come over. She examined Calista by holding and looking at her hands.

“You scared me to death. Callie! How could you just run off like that? Where have you been these past two days? I’ve been worried sick!”

When faced with Wanda, the sense of estrangement that Calista used to feel had disappeared. Regardless of everything, Wanda had been genuinely good to her. Having just one person like that was truly more than enough.

Calista rested her head on Wanda’s shoulder as she said, “I’m sorry, Aunt Wanda… I won’t run off again in the future.”
