Her Vengeful Rebirth ( Calista ) Novel

Chapter 488 You Have Been Deceived 

She was rigid all over, daring not to move. Seeing Kallum bringing the third bowl of stew to his lips, she. inexplicably became agitated. 

Will something go wrong tonight? Is there still time for me to run away 

Watching as Kallum had nothing else to eat that night, except for three bowls of ginseng bull testicle stew, Calista felt utterly despondent. When Kallum was about to drink his fourth bowl, she finally lost it. The bowl might not have been large, but it was brimming with potent nourishment. IfI don’t leave now, would I even be able to later tonight? 

“Aunt Wanda, I just remembered a crucial research topic that I have to work on, so I have to leave now,” 

She had just thought about jumping out of Kallum’s arms when he nonchalantly held her back. 

With his voice barely a whisper by her ear, he asked her in a languid tone, “Where do you think you’re going?” 

The subtle threat hidden in those words had shocked Calista to her core. 

“I… My research topic…” 

Kallum felt a burning sensation coursing through his body, especially when he held her in his arms. Yet, this heat seemed to momentarily subside when his skin touched hers, prompting him to wet his lips with. his tongue. The desire to tear off her clothes was overwhelming. 

“Do you have any research topics that I’m not aware of?” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

As he drew closer, the warmth of his breath caressed her ear, sending a shiver down one side of her body. Her eyes glistened with tears as she looked pleadingly at Wanda and said, “I’m feeling a bit tired, Aunt Wanda. Can we go rest?” 

Only then did Wanda snap back to reality, hurriedly saying, “Huh? All right. Kallum, if you’re fine, then let Old Mr. Yancey give you a check–up. It’s just a routine physical examination. You’re the only one in the family who hasn’t had one yet. I’ll take Callie and leave first.” 

Saying so, she stood up, ready to lead Calista away. 

Kallum held Calista still, not allowing her to move. 

All he did was ask with a smile, “What kind of physical examination?” 

Wanda swallowed, feeling the weight of the world on her shoulders. “It’s just a regular check–up.. 

She had initially administered some aphrodisiac substances that would boost one’s libido. She figured that it would be convenient for Shaun to conduct his examination and see if there were any issues once Kallum showed a reaction. This had all been planned beforehand, and yet, for some inexplicable reason, she felt a hint of fear all of a sudden. 

Kallum lowered his gaze, gently holding Calista captive with one hand while playing with her hair with the 

other.

Chapter 488 You Have Been Deceived 

At this point, both Wanda and Calista fell silent.

Where is my needle? Calista did some calculations in her mind and deduced that her needle could paralyze Kallum for two seconds. Would I be able to escape from Fairchild Manor within those two seconds? 

It took Wanda a moment before she managed to let out an awkward chuckle. “What are you talking about? How could that be possible?” She remembered Wilbur telling her that men were quite sensitive about this topic. Naturally, she couldn’t afford to bruise Kallum’s ego. 

“It really is just a routine check–up.” 

With a cold scoff, when Kallum glanced at Wanda, and she felt an intense aura of menace. 

“I’m asking you, and you better answer truthfully. Was your sudden onset of illness last night genuine?” 

Wanda gave Calista a pleading look, but Kallum simply snorted coldly and forcefully pressed Calista’s face into his chest. 

“Why are you looking at her? Answer me!” he asked, interrogating her in a menacing manner. 

Wanda clenched her fists, her face adorned with a forced smile as she said, “Of course it’s genuine! If you don’t believe me, you can ask Callie! I only got better after she performed acupuncture on me!” 

Calista was certain that Kallum had found out. Upon hearing Wanda’s words, she was instantly overwhelmed with despair. She hung her head in silence. Seeing this, Wanda grew anxious and quickly added, “Callic, I’m feeling a bit unwell again. Could you give me a couple more acupuncture treatments?” 

With a smile, Kallum revealed his bright white teeth, sending chills down Wanda’s spine as he said, “A couple of acupuncture treatments might not do the trick, and besides… My naive mother, it seems you’ve been deceived by a certain despicable little rascal.” 

Calista ducked her head even lower. Initially, she just wanted to avoid what was coming next. She had no idea why things had turned out this way. 

Wanda curiously furrowed her eyebrows. 

“I’ve been deceived?” 

“That’s right!” Kallum forced Calista to lift her head, but she stubbornly refused. Her quiet, turtle–like demeanor of keeping her head down both frustrated and amused Kallum. 

“You could ask this little one and she’d tell you whether I’m impotent or not. But I think you’ve misunderstood. I bet this little one deliberately misled you. Mom. You’ve been fooled by her.” 

“I–I didn’t say anything!” Calista protested in a feeble voice. 

Kallum scoffed. “You were too busy daydreaming about my mom to say anything, weren’t you?. Are you ready to face your punishment, you scoundrel?” 

Punishment? The memories of being torn apart in the darkness last night played out once again in Calista’s mind. On the verge of tears, she looked pleadingly at Wanda for help. 

In the twinkling of an eye, Wanda’s mind was filled with numerous thoughts and scenarios.

Chapter 488 You Have Been Deceived 

Could it be that his technique was off, which caused Callie to feel extremely uncomfortable? if their ser life is not harmonious, then this is indeed a significant issue. It absolutely has to be resolved! 

“Kallum, why are you being so harsh? Callic didn’t deceive me, so let go of her!” 

“Aunt Wanda…” Calista was deeply moved. She hadn’t expected Wanda to not harbor any resentment toward her and to stand by her side. Aunt Wanda is the best godmother in the world! 

Kallum was somewhat exasperated. Am I really Mom’s biological son? Why is it that Mom would completely switch sides after just one pitiful look from Callie?
