Her Vengeful Rebirth
Chapter 396 Tamed By Calista.
After giving it some thought, Yelena took the cup of coffee and headed to Benedictâs study.
Benedict had initially been engrossed in reviewing financial statements when he noticed her, expressing surprise. âWhatâs the matter?â
Yelenaâs tears immediately welled up, cascading down her cheeks. Her face, elegantly maintained and even more refined due to her weight loss, was filled with an expression of profound sorrow. âI feel so uselessâ¦. Callie asked me to pour her some coffee, but I have no idea what kind she preferred. Iâve prepared different coffee a few times, yet sheâs never satisfied. To avoid wasting it, Iâll give this cup to you to drinkâ¦â
Benedictâs expression held an inexplicable restraint. Just when Yelena thought Benedict would criticize Calista, he managed to utter a sentence, âCallie is unpredictable. Itâs best you donât upset her.â
A chill ran down Yelenaâs spine. Could it be that in such a short span of time, Benedict had already been wholly tamed by Calista?
She found the situation to be more challenging, and she bowed her head, sobbing softly.
âBenedict! Iâm at my witâs end. I know Iâve made many mistakes in the past. Itâs understandable if Callie doesnât forgive me, but I truly realize my wrongdoings nowâ¦â That time, she truly cried.
The thought of her life after divorcing Benedict was too painful to put into words. She had once found Benedict unbearable, but she realized that he had genuinely cared for her. âI was ignorant to your worth in the past. I didnât cherish you, but I truly realize my mistake now, Benedict. Please help meâ¦
Benedict found himself touched by her tears. He had always been a man easily moved by emotions, especially when it came to Yelena, his wife of many years. Even if love was absent, he still felt a sense of deep familial bond with her. Seeing her struggle so much, he couldnât help but feel a surge of compassion. âAll right, stop crying now! Iâll take you down, okay? Callie is only staying at home for a week. During this week, try not to upset her. Iâll also have a word with her.â
Yelenaâs eyes lit up when she heard that Calista was only staying for a week. She followed behind Benedict with a slightly aggrieved look, heading off to find Calista
Seeing that Yelena had been gone for quite a while and had even brought Benedict along, Calista couldnât help but scoff.
âWhy, I asked you to make coffee. Why did you bring my father along?â Catching sight of Yelenaâs red, swollen eyes, Calista widened her smile, her gaze filled with puzzlement. âI donât recall mistreating you. Why are you crying?â
âCallic⦠Benedict attempted to assert his paternal authority, yet it was clear that Calista was the apple of Kallumâs eye. Recognizing that reality, Benedict found himself unable to be stern with Calista, leaving him somewhat helpless. âYelena realizes her mistakes now. She just wants our family to take her in for a while. Letâs not make things difficult for her.â
Yelena chimed in at the right moment. âMs. Calista, as soon as I find a job, Iâll leave immediately! The time Iâm spending here is merely to atone for my past mistakes. I assure you, I have no other intention.â
The smile on
Calistaâs face cooled slightly, her confusion evident as she asked, âWhat are you trying to do? I havenât given you a hard time. Why did you bring Dad here? What exactly are you planning?â

things difficult for her.â
âDifficult? So she went to complain, huh?â Calista was seated on the couch, visibly frustrated. âAll I asked her to do was pour me two cups of coffee, yet she acts like itâs so difficult. I really canât afford to keep such a temperamental housekeeper,â
âNo⦠Noâ¦â Yelena wiped away her tears, glancing at Benedict as if she were an innocent woman burdened. with unspeakable sorrow. âIâll go prepare it nowâ¦â
Upon seeing Yelena leave, Benedict sighed. âCallic, why are you doing this? I know youâre worried she might have ulterior motives, and I understand youâre looking out for me. However, Iâm only offering her a place to stay for a while. Iâm seldom home, so consider it as providing her a place to live. There will be nothing more between us. I just feel sorry for her⦠After all, we were married for over a decade. Itâs somewhat hard to be heartless.â
Calista had not anticipated that Benedict would have such a clear understanding of Yelenaâs thoughts. However, she knew Benedict too well. His intentions were always good. He was the kind of man who would feed a stray cat if he saw one, let alone Yelena. However, in Calistaâs opinion, he just didnât understand Yelena well enough.
Everyone in Horington knew about Yelenaâs scandal, yet she could still scheme as if she were unaffected. A woman like her would never be a match for Benedict.
At that moment, Yelena came over with a cup of apple cider latte she had brewed. With a timid demeanor, she held the latte, but instead of handing it over directly, she knelt down in front of Calista!
âWhat are you doing?â Benedict was taken aback, rushing over to help Yelena up. However, Yelena refused to get up, her face set with determination as she looked at Calista.
âCallie, I know you despise me. I was foolish in the past, I treated you poorly, and I wasnât good to Benedict. Iâve made many mistakesâ¦â She spoke with such sincerity and passion that when she reached the height of her emotions, tears fell from her eyes like pearls from a broken string, tracing a path down her pale face. âI was such a fool! Always overambitious and aiming high without the ability to back it up. I failed to recognize who truly cared for me. I was such a mess. Callie, Iâve truly decided to turn over a new leaf and start afresh. Iâll go out and find a job soon. I promise not to be a burden on you anymore. Could you please give me this chance to make amends? I beg you!â
