Her Vengeful Rebirth
Chapter 465 The Woman He Loves
Kallum remembered Wilbur’s words, so he whispered in her ear, word for word, “It’s all in the past. Everything is behind us. No matter what happened before, at least you’re not alone now, okay?”

His gentle voice, like a breeze, gradually dispelled the sharp tension. Calista turned to glare at him, but her tone had already lost its previous coldness.
“There are so many people around. It’s inappropriate to do this here.”
At that moment, Kallum threw all pretenses to the wind, shamelessly declaring, “I’m holding my wife. They’re just envious. It’s not like they don’t hug their wives!”
The crowd let out good–natured laughter, seemingly finding this version of Kallum quite appealing. It instantly bridged the gap, making him seem less unattainable.
Mirabelle had never before seen Kallum like this. At that moment, the two individuals standing so close in front of her felt so distant, as if the gap between them was poles apart, a distance that could never be bridged.
Kallum felt the gaze of Mirabelle and looked at her. Right then, his eyes sparkled for a moment.
“I’ll arrange for the medical compensation to be delivered to the Yost family later. Considering our acquaintance of over a decade, this will be the last time. From now on, neither Callie nor I wish to see you again. If you repeat your mistakes, then there won’t be a need for the Yost family to exist anymore,” Kallum said.
Although he spoke in a soft voice, the message in his words nearly made Mirabelle feel like she was about to cough up blood. Did Kallum say that he no longer wants to see me?
Years of memories seemed to dissolve into nothingness in an instant. Kallum’s words shattered her every delusion. He was so cold and unshakeable.
Right then, Mirabelle finally passed out.
She fell, shielding her vital parts so that the pain wasn’t too intense. The miscarriage wasn’t the cause. What truly broke her was the shattering of her beliefs. She had yearned for glory and desired to stand above others, but it was all gone.
After Mirabelle was taken away for treatment, Darren graciously gave Calista a moment to breathe. They then agreed to resume their academic exchange at a future date.
Calista nodded in agreement. She also felt a bit exhausted and wanted to return for some rest. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
On the road, Kallum studied her expression, clearing his throat twice before asking, “Are you still upset about Mirabelle?”
Calista gave him a glance and flashed him a half–smile. “What about you? She was so miserable today, and you’ve known her for so long. Don’t you feel the slightest bit of sympathy?”
Kallum was taken aback, quickly responding, “I’ve known you for longer! Besides, why should I feel sorry for her when she’s the one who chose to fall?”

Kallum glanced at her, his voice serious as he said, “If you want revenge on her, let me handle it.”
“Why?” Calista asked. It’s not like him to go after a woman.
Kallum held her hand, whispering softly, “It’s nothing. I just don’t want you to worry about these insignificant people, nor do I want them to taint your hands.”

Calista teased him with a smile, “But you just said you’d let her go. Now you’re going back on your word for me. Don’t you care about your reputation?”
Kallum’s violet eyes sparkled with a hint of amusement. “When I say something, I mean it. But who can blame me for being an obedient husband? You outrank me, after all. So, what’s wrong with following your orders?”
Seeing the effort he put into coaxing her, Calista shook her head with a smile. “How did you become so silver–tongued?”
Suddenly, Kallum leaned in a bit closer. Inside the car, his eyes sparkled faintly as he whispered into her ear, “Don’t you know? A content man is the most agreeable. If you’re willing to keep me well–fed, I assure you, I’ll be even more compliant than I am now. Give it a thought, my queen?”
In reality, Kallum had a strong desire to take advantage of her there and then. However, Calista was in a bad mood that day, forcing him to postpone this plan. His priority was to stabilize the situation first.
Calista shook her head. “Well, this is for the best.”
She looked out the window, a mysterious glimmer appearing in her eyes.
“It’s easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Mirabelle was unknowingly sheltered by you for so many years. After losing that, with each passing day, she’ll only become more discontented and resentful. She’ll blame everybody but herself. She’s known to have unrealistic ambitions. This mentality, in the end, will be her downfall. There’s no need for me to intervene.” Calista said.
Even when predicting the other party’s misery in the coldest voice, Calista had a nearly ruthless purity, much like untouched snow, devoid of any dust.

This is the woman I’m in love with! Kallum couldn’t help but sigh. Even though he wished Calista could remain as she used to be, when it came down to it, after he had fallen for her, he loved her no matter what.
When they arrived home, they saw that Wanda was already waiting for them anxiously. She could have been the most worried mother–in–law in history. Not only was she concerned about any unspoken lingering effects her son might have, but she also fretted that Callie might reject her son because of them. She was full of unspeakable worries.
Ironically, Yulissa was privy to the inside story, but she couldn’t spill the beans. She had made a promise to Kallum that she would never reveal his embarrassing moments.
As soon as Calista returned, she became Wanda’s focus.
“Callie, we were just about to have dinner! How was work today? Was it tiring? If you ask me, you really shouldn’t have gone to provide free consultation. Being a doctor is so exhausting! You should just stay home, go shopping with me, and pamper yourself with some beauty treatments. A woman needs to take
