Calista felt something was off, but the banquet was about to start, so she didnât dwell on it too much. The corners of her mouth curled up, forming a small smile as she glanced at herself in the mirror.
âHow do I look today?â
The woman reflected in the mirror exuded an icy elegance. Dressed in a gown adorned with diamonds, resembling a starry night sky, she looked like a deity emerging from the darkness, out of everyoneâs league.
Kallum looked intensely at the mirror and exclaimed, âYouâre the most beautiful woman Iâve ever seen.â
The attire she wore, along with the headpiece, was all made for their engagement ceremony. If Calista had been more observant, she wouldâve noticed that Kallumâs outfit complemented hers.
Her hairpin and his cufflinks were the indicators.
Why does he have to stand so close to talk?
The awkwardness set in belatedly, and Calista quickly said, âIn that case, Iâll head down first!â
After speaking, she extricated herself from Kallumâs âembraceâ, and left under the housekeeperâs escort.
Kallum found it quite unsettling when his arms were suddenly empty. He pursed his lips, looking at his lone reflection in the mirror. A hint of darkness surfaced in his usually dignified gaze. What can I do to keep her by my side forever? Am I supposed to drag her down with me?
For the first time in his life, Kallum was plagued by such dark thoughts. The thoughts lingered in his mind, nearly driving him to madness.
No, I canât! Callie has liked me for over a decade. Even at the tender age of nine, she had been willing to risk her life to save me! Even though I misunderstood her, she still had feelings for me. When she saw Iâd been poisoned, she didnât hesitate to use her own body to neutralize the torin. She had been so kind to me. How can I possibly entertain the thought of dragging such a good person down?
Kallum closed his eyes.
When I went to Lostaria, Calista had followed me there. Iâll never forget how we fought side by side, nor would I forget the sight of her, standing proudly in the fiery forest after taking a life. Every time I thought I couldnât possibly love her more, she would always find a way to make me fall even deeper for her. Whenever I felt my love for her deepened, I realized my affection could never match the extent of her devotion. Just imagine the uproar when her medical skills that can extend oneâs life are revealed. Many have been eager to find out the reason Iâm still alive to this day. My family has kept it tightly under wraps. Yet, many still suspected Calista. In order to save me, Calista had risked her very life. She wouldnât have needed to expose herself to such danger if it werenât for me. Besides, the recent events deeply touched me, even though I didnât express it. The doctorsâ and expertsâ gazes were wary as if looking at a monster. Only Calista had treated me as she did before, as though I was normal. She never repelled my nearness and even took the initiative to approach me. She had done so much for me. Her kindness toward me left me trembling with excitement.
A sudden, intense desire to see Calista surged within Kallum at the thought.
The thought of her stunning/everyone with her radiant beauty, revealing her allure to the world, drove him mad with jealousy.

Chapter 134 Love Her So Much
âMr. Kallum, itâs time for you to head down.â Before Ryder could even finish his sentence, Kallum was already gone.
Baffled, he was unsure why Kallum was in such a rush.
It could only be said that others wouldnât understand those in love.
As expected, Calistaâs entrance had captured everyoneâs attention.
As the light shone upon her, many held their breath as if afraid to startle the angel that seemed to have descended from the night sky.
Her makeup was light, save for her striking red lips. Anyone else wearing the gown that shimmered like stars would have paled in comparison, but when Calista wore it, she exuded an icy, noble elegance, as if she was standing atop the stars. No wonder she could be a part of the Fairchild family.
Silas gave Calista a complex look, suddenly understanding why his wife was so fond of her. Sheâs akin to a radiant pearl and outshone her mother by far
A soft call reached her ears and Calista turned her head, only to find Kallum standing at the end, reaching out to her.
Immediately, the rumors about Kallumâs disdain for Calista were discredited. Kallum, who rarely attended. banquets, not only showed up that day but was even content to play a supporting role.
It was just unclear why Calista hadnât become his wife.
Yet, Kallum was oblivious to the sounds around him. As he watched Calista approach him, his radiant smile emerged. Even in the night, it shone as brilliantly as the sun.
The engagement party he had envisioned countless times before was hardly any different from the banquet before his eyes.
Calista naturally didnât turn down his outstretched hand in full view of the public. She placed her hand in his, which he immediately clasped tightly. He led her forward as if partaking in a certain ceremony.
Many were left stunned, especially the young folks who were completely captivated by the strikingly handsome man and beautiful woman.
âWasnât today supposed to be a welcome party? Why do they seem as if theyâre at an engagement party? Theyâre just too perfect together! Mr. Kallum is so handsome! Only a beauty of her caliber can stand beside him without being overshadowed!â
Another person scoffed, âSo what if sheâs pretty? Itâs not like Mr. Kallum is into her. Else, she wouldnât have gone from being his fiancée to his godsister.â
