Her Vengeful Rebirth
Chapter 361 Exhausting Conversation
His voice was filled with bitterness, yet he spoke firmly.
âYouâre using my feelings for you to punish me. Love would never allow you to do such a thingâ¦â
The expression on Calistaâs face turned cold.

âIâve tried so many times, yet you always snap out of it at the final moment, Calista. This isnât how love is shown. Youâve been fooling yourself into thinking that you love me, and I, I was naive enough to believe that you loved meâ¦â
Upon saying this, Kallum gave a derisive shake of his head, released her, and seemed ready to leave.
Calistaâs eyes narrowed slightly before she suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck, planting a passionate kiss on his lips.
Caught in Kallumâs surprised gaze, Calistaâs eyes gradually sharpened. Her voice was hoarse; each word she uttered was filled with force..
âIf I didnât love youâ¦. I wouldnât have been so utterly hopeless!â
She seemed unsatisfied, pushing forward, pinning Kallum against the wall. Her hands gripped his collar, forcing him to lower his gaze to meet hers.
âIf I didnât love you, I should have destroyed you!â Her tone suddenly turned ominously terrifying. âYouâre night! Iâm not as righteous as I claim to be. So what if those who have wronged me have never made mistakes in their lives? If theyâve hurt me, they deserve to die! They deserve to go to hell! So what if I use your feelings to punish you? This is already the lightest punishment!â
âThen Iâd rather you be a bit more ruthless!â
In the midst of Calistaâs icy counterattack, Kallum had also gone somewhat mad.
âAt least I wouldnât be so helpless toward you, Does that make you happy? Iâm powerless when it comes to you, so Iâd rather you be harsher toward me, to make me give up hope!â
âItâs not too late nowâ¦â
After releasing his collar, Calista took a step back.
âWe can still be enemies now, if thatâs what you want.â
Kallum remained silent. Amidst the silence, Calista suddenly let out a soft laugh.
âIf
you
donât want us to become enemies, can I leave now?â
This single sentence felt like a thorn, ruthlessly piercing into Kallumâs chest. He stared in disbelief, his eyes widened, and then he suddenly burst into laughter, his eyes turning red as he spoke.
âLeaveâ¦
He pointed at the door. âGet out!â

Chapter 361 Exhausting Conversation
As soon as she left, Kallum punched the wall in frustration. Yet, the heartache he felt did not subside. Instead, it became even more unbearable.
What was he doing? He had clearly decided not to argue when he came over⦠It wasnât difficult to swallow his pride, especially when it was her. He still wanted to marry her. Even if he didnât bring up the marriage now, it would be fine to return to their previous way of interacting.
But now, their relationship had cooled to freezing point, and every step they took became incredibly difficult.
For several days in a row, the two were engaged in a silent standoff. The entire Fairchild Manor was steeped in a gloomy atmosphere, with no one daring to hit a nerve.
It seemed as though Calista was intentionally avoiding Kallum, spending consecutive days immersed in the lab. Even their meal times were deliberately staggered.
This caused Kallum to perpetually radiate an icy demeanor, no matter where he was, which left people feeling deeply unnerved.
However, they were headed to the same place that day, to the Ingram familyâs engagement party.
This made Kallum a bit nervous, as he was eager to seize this opportunity to smooth things over.
As soon as Calista got into the car, she closed her eyes out of exhaustion, not even giving Kallum a chance to speak.
After reflecting on the events of the past few days, he couldnât help but feel regret. He was well aware of what Calistaâs feelings for him had meant in the past. Yet, in a fit of anger, he had used this to question her. He must have been out of his mind.
However, he pondered, it was quite normal for couples to quarrel. Perhaps all they needed was an opportunity to break the ice.
Kallum casually glanced at Calistaâs face, only to notice faint dark circles under her eyes. Quintus mentioned that she hadnât been sleeping well for several days now, all in an effort to keep up with the schedule.
In reality, it wasnât just her who was affected. Kallum simply couldnât sleep. Whenever he thought of her, the nights seemed to stretch into an endless torment. However, his stubborn nature prevented him from showing any signs of it.
Halfway through the drive, Calista seemed to be in a trance, remaining perfectly still. Kallum wanted to strike up a conversation several times but didnât know how to start. After struggling for a while, he finally spoke with a stern expression.
âDid I hear right that the medicine was successful and that itâs now in the experimental stage?â
The previous day, Shaun had approached him with a face full of joy to share some good news, but Kallum couldnât muster even a hint of happiness. This was because he wanted to celebrate this wonderful news with Calista, but she was nowhere to be found.
Calista only halfâopened her eyes before quickly closing them again.
âYes.

How was he supposed to respond to that?

Kallumâs anger was flaring up again. Ever since the fallout between the two, Kallumâs temper had worsened considerably. Now, even Wanda dared not say a word, fearing she might set him off.
However, considering how hard Calista had been working these past few days, could it be that she was just too exhausted to speak?
In his mind, he had made up an excuse for her, then Kallum spoke again.
âOnce we get to the Ingram residence, stick with me and donât wander off,â he said.
After speaking, he felt that his tone might have been too cold, so he attempted to explain in a more moderate manner.
âThe Ingram family isnât the same as the Wolford family. They have their own trained people. If youâre taken away, donât expect me to save you!â
This time, Calista didnât even open her eyes.
âMhm.â
This very conversation was absolutely exhausting to Kallum.
His breath quickened several times over, and his hand clenched in an attempt to suppress his anger. But he couldnât hold it back. Even he hadnât anticipated the profound impact Calistaâs indifference would have on him.
