Her Rebirth of Retribution
Chapter 27 Morning Kiss

Kallum was completely stunned, but he didn't say anything because he could feel that the needle that Calista had inserted was indeed that Heart Needle. She was really so highly skilled? She knew legendary acupuncture techniques? Kallum started to feel that the deal she was striking with him wasn't a joke after all, but that she was really able to do it.

After Shaun left, Kallum remained by her bedside and Calista was frowning in her sleep.

...

He instinctively tried to rub away the frown lines between her eyebrows, but she ended up frowning even harder.

Kallum pursed his lips, and guiltily took back his hand.

When Calista was sleeping she still looked gentle, not like the aggressive, cold and mocking girl she was earlier, instead now she looked demure and fragile.

Was she really the one who jumped in to save him? She was already willing to die for him at nine years old?

Kallum smiled a little, then flicked Calista's face gently. "I don't have any evidence to prove what you said, but I've decided to help you this time. Not for the sake of a billion dollar deal but...just take it as an apology for everything in the past, I hope you aren't bluffing me." Calista woke up to replace herself aching all over, but after practicing her basic techniques on the bed, she felt much better.

She didn't really understand why she went all out the night before either - perhaps people make bad decisions when they're too tired.

But then again, Kallum unexpectedly agreed to the deal - even though that needle was a very powerful one, people without any knowledge of its benefits wouldn't appreciate its real value.

As long as he was agreeable, it would be easier to get back at those enemies of hers...in exchange, she was really prepared to bring billions of dollars in for Kallum!

After taking a bath, she changed into the clothes that were prepared for her and went downstairs calmly.

She was surprised that Kallum was still around, and his eyes lit up a little when he saw her come down.

He just knew Calista would look nice on these clothes - when she wasn't being sharp tongued, cheongsams were very suitable for her elegant aura.

Calista pushed her hair behind her ears, revealing her cold, sparkling eyes. Since there was breakfast on the table, she sat down to eat.

Kallum gracefully held up a cup of coffee and asked with a little bit of interest in his voice, "What's wrong with your eyes?"

In the past Calista always had a thick fringe, so nobody ever saw the sparkle in her eyes, which was like a sea of stars in the pitch black night sky. What a rare sight!

Calista's eyes darkened and ignored his question, instead asking, "About what you promised me last night - when can you get it done?"

She wanted to become the goddaughter of the Fairchilds, and to complete the process, there would definitely be a banquet of sorts and important people would be invited. This public announcement would enable her to erase that irritating fiancée label, and also make it easier to do what she intended to do.

Kallum narrowed his eyes, then suddenly broke into a smile, "A month. After a month you can get what you want."

Very few people could resist Kallum's smile, because he was simply too good looking. He was very arrogant, but then he did have every reason to be.

Calista looked down and nodded.

Given the importance of the matter, one month was quite fast.

"Register a pharmaceutical business as soon as possible. Since you've held up your end of the agreement, I will too."

Considering how much Kallum was worth, a billion dollars was a lot of money but it didn't interest him - he was more interested in Calista.

"You don't dare to look at me?"

The moment he said that, Calista looked up at him coldly, staring at him straight as if he were merely an object.

Kallum didn't know the reason why he wanted to try breaking this cold expression of Calista's. He much preferred the way she used to look at him, that shy and helpless look.

"You're very good looking, ok? Can I stop looking at you now?"

Calista gave a polite but annoyed smile.

Kallum felt some displeasure at this reaction so he suddenly drew close to her. He didn't believe that Calista had no more feelings for him.

He had a pair of deep set upturned

almond eyes, and because he had some Caucasian heritage, his features were very sharp and defined, his pupils carrying a little mysterious purplish tinge, plus a tiny mole at his left eye corner - one could only say that this face was a stunning

masterpiece, every detail

beauty! This very face once

mesmerized her, making her unable

to tear her eyes away...

When he saw that Calista had gone into a daze, he raised an eyebrow slightly - he knew it, nobody could resist his charm! He curled his lips into a smile, "So, do you still want to stop looking at me?" Calista suddenly also curled her lips into a strange smile, and the next second she leaned over and kissed his thin, light pink lips.

The two of them were separated only by a table, and when their eyes met, Kallum held his breath.

Her lips were very soft and sweet, a sweetness like milk.

Calista gently bit his lip, then pulled herself away and asked curiously, "Since you didn't resist, you want me to continue?" Kallum's eyes darkened, then suddenly he pulled Calista's head towards him and exchanged an even deeper kiss.

The amorous air made them both feel warm, and even though they were kissing and there was some feelings stirring within them, they continued to stare stubbornly at one another, one pair of eyes like fire, the other like ice. Calista suddenly pushed Kallum away, clenching her teeth as she asked in a cold voice, "What is this? Don't you hate me anymore?"

Kallum licked his lips and continued staring at her lips as if he hadn't gotten enough yet, but he spoke as if she didn't mean anything to him, "Yeah I still do, but why would I allow anyone to just take advantage of me like that?" Calista snorted - so he just wanted to have the final say.

The doorbell rang, and Calista could hear the servants outside greeting the guest. "Mister Shang? Are you here to fetch Ms. Stafford?"

Benedict had come.

Calista seemed confounded a moment before going upstairs to fetch her belongs, then walked back down slowly.

Kallum sat back down at the table. Calista felt that her father wasn't worth Kallum coming out to greet him in person, so Calista just thanked the butler and then walked out of Havenrock Villa with her father.

After Calista had left, Kallum uncomfortably uncrossed his legs. He never thought that Calista's kiss was so sweet that after just two kisses, he had felt aroused. He was glad that Calista had left - if she found out, she would definitely mock him!

Calista didn't think it strange that her

father had come looking for her.

Kallum must have gone to the Shang house while trying to look for her, and Benedict knew that her cell phone was damaged and was uncontactable, so he had to come and pick her up in person,

Benedict was relieved not to see Kallum, since he didn't like talking to people who were super-excellent, he avoided Kallum like the plague.

Both father and daughter were quiet

for some time, then Benedict suddenly spoke, "Callie, have you

been overly traumatized by what et

happened two days ago? You've been acting very strangely these couple of days, and your mother is very worried about you...

Calista asked in confusion, "Wasn't my Mom dead? She spoke to you in a dream?"
