Het Vengeful Rebirth 

Chapter 420 I Do Not Look Good Right Now! 

“I’m done with my bath. Could you help me dry my back?” At this point, she didn’t care about being seen naked anymore. Staying in the bathroom any longer was simply too terrifying for her. Unexpectedly, her usually kind and loving godmother seemed to have a perverted side. 

As expected, Wanda’s attention was indeed diverted. However, in the end, she playfully patted her very firm buttocks and said teasingly, “Kallum is indeed more fortunate than his father!” 

The underlying implications of that statement were truly terrifying, so Calista decided to pretend she hadn’t heard it at all. 

After washing up, Calista was originally planning to head to the lab, but Wanda said. “You’ve been worn out for a full day and night, so take some time to rest properly. We women shouldn’t be so hard on ourselves. Besides, Kallum can handle things out there.” 

Even though she felt irresponsible for passing on her burdens to others, and she was consumed with guilt for lying idle while everyone else was busy, when Calista heard that everything was still under control and about Kallum’s involvement, an inexplicable sense of tranquility washed over her. 

So, is this what it feels like to be protected? Could this be what trust feels like? I’ve always been fighting my battles alone, but for the first time, I am wholeheartedly entrusting all my trials and tribulations to another person. I don’t have to fear betrayal or abandonment. This feeling sure is unexpectedly beautiful! 

With certain questions lingering in her mind, Calista initially thought she would have trouble falling asleep. However, in reality, she drifted off quite quickly. 

When Kallum returned home, his face etched with exhaustion, it was already nine in the morning. Not. wanting to cause Calista any worry, he massaged his temples and rallied his spirits before stepping through the front door. 

Calista was still asleep at the time. She had only gone to bed at five in the morning and was now in the deepest phase of her sleep. The medicine had worked wonders, as her face and neck were no longer swollen. However, there was still a horrifying ring of bruise around her neck. 

Upon seeing her haggard appearance, Kallum found it hard to bear. He gently touched her forehead, and only after confirming her temperature was normal, he breathed a sigh of relief. He sat down by the bed. and for a moment there, he didn’t want to move at all. 

When Calista woke up, she was greeted by the sight of a young man with delicate features curled up on the edge of the bed in a somewhat uncomfortable sleeping position. As if he was afraid of waking her, his tall frame only occupied a small portion of the bed. Even so, his face was very close, and Calista could see his flawless skin, slanted eyebrows, and long, curled eyelashes. 

Kallum had foreign ancestry in his lineage, the best of which he had inherited. Calista knew this well. When he opened his eyes, which was the most captivating feature of his face, they were dazzlingly radiant like a peerless treasure. 

Seemingly aware of Calista’s gaze, Kallum’s eyelashes fluttered. However, the moment he opened his eyes, his vision was abruptly plunged into darkness. It turned out that Calista had covered his eyes. 

“What’s wrong?” Kallum asked, a hint of confusion in his voice. He reached out to move her hand away as he spoke, but Calista stubbornly continued to cover his eyes with her hand.

Chapter 420 | Do Not Look Good Right Now 

Her voice came through with such seriousness that it took Kallum aback. Gradually, he relaxed under her touch, and said with a chuckle, “You must not have paid much attention to me before, then.” 

Hasn’t I always handsomel 

Calista moved a bit closer, while Kallum turned to his side. He could sense her slightly approaching breath, along with the faint, almost imperceptible scent of medicine. 

The two lay side by side, gazing at each other. Only her infuriatingly small hand obstructed the view between them. 

“Why won’t you let me see you?” Kallum asked in a muted tone. 

Calista remained silent for a long while. 

“I don’t look good right now.” 

Following that, she issued her ultimate command, “So, until I become more attractive, you’re not allowed to look at me.” 

Kallum wore a face full of confusion but once he caught on, he suddenly pulled Calista into an embrace. 

Even though her hand still covered his eyes, by now, Kallum’s face was already slightly above hers. Separated by just her hand, he could sense their lips were mere millimeters apart. 

“Why won’t you let me see you? Has my young lady finally come to her senses and realized she wants to look pretty in front of the man she likes?” he asked, unable to hold back his laughter. 

Calista pursed her lips, instinctively wanting to throw a few insults his way. But before she could utter a word, Kallum silenced her with a single finger pressed against her lips. “Your little mouth is fond of saying one thing but meaning another. I don’t want to hear anything that might ruin the mood.” 

Calista remained silent for a long time, finally letting out a muffled grunt. I am not one to say one thing but mean another! 

“Actually, the way you are now is good too. Every time I take you out, it’s as if everyone’s eyes are glued to you. It frustrates me so much that I always want to whisk you away, hide you somewhere only I can see, a place that belongs to me alone!” Kallum said with a laugh. 

Calista’s face flushed slightly. She gently bit her lower lip, gazing at Kallum who was close at hand, his face wearing a smile. Then, she suddenly said, “But I’m really good at getting into trouble, and I won’t change!” 

My goodness! This arrogant attitude truly is the result of being overly pampered! 

Kallum slightly curved his lips at the thought of that. Unable to resist the urge to gently pinch her face, he naughtily pulled her cheeks from both sides. 

“Callie, how is it that you become more adorable with each passing day? This won’t do! At this rate, I can’t help but want to keep you by my side every day!” 

“Kallum!” This guy is as consistently irreverent as ever! 

But at that moment, Kallum suddenly grew serious.
