âWho is he? Why did he invite you to dinner?â His voice was barely a whisper, yet through his suddenly tightened grip, Calista could feel the flames of jealousy pulsating within him.
Before Calista could respond, the nurse laughed and said, âDr. Stafford, you are truly fortunate. Not only do you have a handsome and wealthy fiancé, but you also have so many admirers! Dr. Zillon is quite a catch too, with his good looks and gentle demeanor. Marty doctors and nurses have tried to ask him out, but he seems to only have eyes for you. Itâs a pity youâre already engaged⦠But no worries, youâre technically still single until youâre married. Times have certainly changed, havenât they?â
Fury blazed in the eyes of Kallum, like two clusters of flickering flames. He glared menacingly at Calista. In the darkness, a shiver ran through her body, and a sense of guilt washed over her for reasons unknown.
She responded loudly, âUm⦠donât just make things up. He doesnât have feelings for meâ¦â
âIsnât it obvious?â the nurse said with a hint of envy. âDr. Zillon waits for you to have lunch together every day. Whenever he has a moment, he comes looking for you. Heâs never been this proactive before.â
Calista was on the verge of tears. âEvery time he comes, itâs because he has questionsâ¦.â
âCome on, those are all just excuses. Dr. Zillonâs father is the director of City Hospital. His medical skills are topânotch in the entire city. He couldnât possibly have so many questions.â
Kallumâs passionate thoughts were gradually consumed by rage. Who is this audacious fool, daring to cover my woman? Itâs as if he has a death wish!
âAlright, alright⦠But I wonât dine with him tonight. Could you turn him down for me?â At this point, all Calista could do was sigh.
âAh⦠Youâre rejecting him, huh⦠Well, it figures. Your fiancé is so handsome. Of course you wouldnât be interested in Dr. Zillon. Poor guy, I should go and comfort him!â
âGo⦠Just goâ¦â Calista was practically begging the nurse to quickly leave, never to return.
Once the nurse had finally left and the door was closed, Kallum switched on the light, glaring at her.
âTell me! Over these few days, who else has taken a liking to you?â
His voice grew more bitter with each word he spoke. âWhatâs this nonsense about being single as long as youâre not married? Let me tell you, youâre mine! Youâve been my fiancée since we were kids, and if you dare have thoughts of anyone else, Iâ¦â
After pausing midâsentence for a long while, he finally added with a menacing tone. âWhoever you set your eyes on, Iâll cripple them. Iâm not joking!â
Calista pressed her forehead, groaning in exhaustion, âI⦠Where would I find the time⦠Iâm already struggling to manage even one, okay?
Kallumn was still not satisfied, demanding again, âSo, when will you marry
me?â
Once weâre married, there probably wouldnât be so many hopeless suitors anymore, right?
Calistaâs eyes widened at how abruptly he changed topics. She stared at him, speechless.

âYouâre already twenty, legally of age. If youâre not marrying me, then who are you planning to marry?â Kallum narrowed his eyes, posing the question with a threatening tone.
Calista paused for a moment, then said softly, âBeing twenty is still very young, donât you know? I havenât even had the chance to enjoy my youth, and youâre already asking me to get married?â
âEnjoy your youth?â Kallum raised his voice upon being riled up, questioning, âWho else do you want to enjoy it with? Am I not enough for you?â
His expression was incredibly fierce. Glaring at her, he appeared as if he wanted to kill her.
Calista felt like bursting a vessel. âAnyway⦠letâs just talk about it later.
Kallum crossed his arms over his chest, looking at her with dissatisfaction. âWhatâs the point? You canât escape your fate. In this life, thereâs no other way out for you, other than marrying me.â
Calista gritted his teeth. âEvery single day I delay it counts as a victory for me!â
The words left Kallum quite dissatisfied. He felt somewhat hurt and suddenly murmured in a low voice. âDo you really find me that repulsiveâ¦
The vibrancy in his eyes dimmed, as if his confidence and vitality had also faded away.
âEven now⦠you still canât accept me, can youâ¦
Upon seeing him like this, Calista instinctively uttered, âItâs not thatâ¦â
âHmm?â Kallum glanced over instantly.
Calistaâs expression was a bit complicated. Finally, he said with a tone of frustration, âI need a bit more time⦠Let me think it overâ¦
âHow much longer do you need?â Kallum moved closer to her, his expression intricate as he whispered, âNot a moment, a minute, or a second do I want to be apart from you. I love you. Do you still love me?â
Calista bit her lip, unsure of what to say.
Yet, before she could figure it out, the color drained from Kallumâs face, as if he had misunderstood something.
âForget it, if you need time, Iâll give it to you. I just donât want to hear anything from you that I donât want to hear, okay?â
Calista slowly nodded, for some reason, he felt a pang of inexplicable guilt. Seeing his face wilt, Calista subconsciously spoke out.
âUm⦠Letâs have dinner together tonightâ¦â
The moment the words left her lips, she wished she could take them back. However, seeing the sudden sparkle in Kallumâs eyes, she found it hard to do so.
âGreat! Iâll go reserve us a spot right now, and Iâll pick you up this evening
After giving it some thought, Calista nodded in agreement.

Kallum turned around, his previously low spirits suddenly shifted, and a smile unexpectedly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
People online suggested that showing a bit of vulnerability to women could stir their sympathy, leading them to fall into the trap themselves.
