Chapter 211 Better To Let Them Gossip
Kallum raised an eyebrow. âWhy do you have to sell your body like that? Canât you just pay me for protecting you?â
Seraphina shook her head and replied, âI donât trust the words of men. I believe more in winning over others through my body, building a rapport through physical connection.â
As she spoke, she loosened her grip, allowing her bathrobe to slide down and reveal a voluptuous and alluring body that was enough to quicken anyoneâs pulse.
However, Kallum had turned his head away instantly!
âWhat are you doing? Put your clothes back on!â
Huh? She took off her clothes? Calista attempted to sneak a peek but was pushed back down by Kallum.
What are you trying to see? Youâre only allowed to look at me!
Seraphina was somewhat hurt. She hadnât anticipated that despite going this far, Kallum would still resist. Could it be because of the woman in his bed?
âMr. Kallum, what are you pretending for? You were all loveyâdovey with your godsister before, yet now youâre in bed with another woman. Iâm offering myself to you, so why are you holding back?â She sneered, âOr coul
it be you have some sort of cleanliness obsession and only accept one woman per night?â
Her words carried a hint of mockery.
Kallum couldnât hold back anymore. If it werenât for Calista being there, his first words would have been âGet out!â He had been patient for so long, but this woman still wouldnât give up. It was truly infuriating!
âAre you that desperate for a man?â
A smirk tugged at the corner of Kallumâs mouth as he went all out. With just a single sentence, he managed to deeply humiliate Seraphina.
âYouâ¦!â
Seeing that if Kallum uttered another word, they would have another enemy on their hands, Calista couldnât help but hold him tight under the blanket! Then, slowly, she wriggled her way out.
It was better to let people gossip a bit rather than offend them.
âCalista?â The moment Seraphina saw Calista emerging from the blanket, her eyes widened in surprise. Immediately, she was overwhelmed by a wave of embarrassment and shame!
However, her dignity wouldnât allow her to just run off like that. She forced herself to stay calm, picked up the clothes that were piled at her feet, and put them on. She then spoke softly.
âSo th
âSo thatâs how it is⦠It seems I misunderstood you, Mr. Kallum.â
a hint of helplessness, Calista said, âYouâre right. Tonight was a misunderstanding, Ms. Bushwick. Letâs pretend that we didnât see each other tonight, shall we?â

Seraphinaâs lips were pale as she nodded slightly. Then, she straightened her clothes, ready to leave.
Before she left, she remembered her grandfatherâs request. He had repeatedly emphasized that she must succeed, butâ¦
She turned her gaze to Calista and asked, âAre you two really in that kind of relationship? If so, why would you choose to present yourselves as siblings?â
The reasons behind it all couldnât be simply summed up in a few words. Calista let out a sigh before she suddenly wrapped her arms around Kallumâs neck, delivering a passionate kiss.
The moment she drew near, Kallum instinctively let down his guard, pulling her into his embrace. With at natural dominance, he accepted her kiss. Although it was a fleeting contact, after their lips met, Kallum found it hard to resist muzzling against Calistaâs face. The desire and affection in his eyes were as deep as the ocean.
âNow, do you understand?â Calista, hanging onto Kallum, turned to look back at Seraphina.
Only then did Seraphina take a step back. Without uttering a single word more, she swiftly walked out the door.
The room fell silent once again.
With a swift roll, Kallum skillfully pinned Calista beneath him!
âWhat are you doing?â Calista asked in a whisper. She wasnât scared at all, knowing that Kallum couldnât really do anything. The most he could do was to hug and kiss her. But hadnât he taken advantage of her in this way over the past year? She was already used to it.
Kallumâs body grew increasingly hot. He gazed at Calista, his eyes resembling a dense pool of ink.
Suddenly, he lamented in a deep, husky voice, âCallie⦠I think Iâm losing control.â
âOh?â Calistaâs eyelids drooped to halfâmast, her thoughts unreadable,
Yet, Kallum couldnât stop himself from gently rubbing his face against hers.
Despite their undeniable closeness, despite the entanglement of their minds and bodies, there was an unsettling restlessness that lingered amidst their sweetness.
It was like an incessant itch that couldnât be scratched, or being famished but unable to indulge in the dessert right in front of you. People were inherently greedy, especially when it came to the ones they loved. No amount of satisfaction was ever enough. Yet, he was in a position where he could do nothing.
âCallicâ¦â Kallum barely managed to utter her name, his heavy panting echoing clearly within the quiet room. His voice was hoarse as he asked, âIf I recover, would you really marry me?â
He lifted the thumb ring in his hand as if to say, âLook, Iâm always wearing it. Thereâs no getting rid of me, even if you wanted to.â
Calista chuckled lightly. âWeâll cross that bridge when we come to it, okay?â
way!â Kallum glared at her stubbornly, then changed his tone. âI was just teasing you. In reality, who ise could you possibly want besides me? Donât even think about it!â

Even though the words were meant to be domineering, why did they not sound imposing at all? Calista even felt the urge to laugh.
She gently ran her fingers through his hair, and in that moment, she felt a hint of sweetness, as if she were
in a dream.
Taking the initiative, she wrapped her arms around Kallumâs neck and gave him a kiss. âAre you in pain?â
Kallum huffed. âJust a little bit.â
