Chapter 64 Clash Between Ice And Fire
Kallum’s mere presence was already very pressurizing for most, and when he got angry, he could practically ignite the air with his fury.
–
But the women present were more disappointed than the men that ring was meant for the mistress of the Fairchild family!
Someone took a glance & Sterling and couldn’t help but laugh.
Kallum’s “You’re too ugly for me to marry” was definitely a black mark in the history of the Wolfords – Sterling’s pride had suffered tremendously tonight.
Calista was now being dragged away by Kallum at high speed, and she was ready to suffer the brunt of his
anger.
It didn’t matter to her since she was not afraid of the consequences when she decided to do this. She had already decided from the beginning of this new life that she was going to do as she pleased, so what was
there to be afraid of?
Quintus was following closely behind, afraid that Kallum would do something rash. Mr. Kallum was more highly skilled than all of them, so if he were to beat her up, Ms. Stafford would be in deep trouble. But then again, Mr. Kallum never hit women, so she should be alright…
He had obviously worried too much – the moment they walked out of the hall, they were met with a. pavement full of small pebbles. Kallum remembered Calista was wearing high heels and so he slowed his pace down for her.
But he was still angry! Just that he slowed down didn’t mean he had forgiven her!
Calista breathed a sigh of relief. If she had to continue at the earlier speed in her high heels on such terrain, she would definitely sprain her ankles.
She had calmed down by this time.
She had been too rash earlier, but if given another chance, she might have still chosen to do this.
If it didn’t work the first time, then she would do it twice, or until Kallum stopped wanting to marry her.
After getting into the car, Kallum kept a cold expression on and didn’t say anything. The air around him seemed to waver as if he was emitting high temperatures into the air, and was ready to catch fire anytime, making Quintus silent and fearful.
He suddenly started feeling envious of his brothers in the other cars…they were allowed to protect Kallum from a distance, but as the main bodyguard, he had to remain close…
Calista took a glance at Kallum and suddenly sighed..
After she had started this new life, she had the most interaction with Kallum, but the feelings she had for him were the least.
In her previous life, the love/she had for him for more than twenty years had already dried up after she had to run for her life again and again and was eventually tortured to death, and now her soul was left with. nothing but hate and some survival instinct she wasn’t sure what made up the rest.

Chapter 64 Clash Between Ice And Fire
Those people who were her enemies, she hated to the corel And earlier, she had hated Kallum like that
100.
But after Kallum had told her the truth behind why he had treated her poorly, she suddenly didn’t hate him anymore, but just felt that this whole thing was like a joke. She didn’t hate him but she didn’t love him either. She only wanted revenge and nothing else.
Calista’s silence made Kallum even angrier! He was waiting to see when Calista would try to placate him. She had done something so awful but she didn’t apologize and she wasn’t going to say anything nice even? Wasn’t she afraid that he might ignore her forever? Or that if the Fairchilds didn’t protect her, Sterling would definitely get back at her?
After waiting a while more, Kallum realized they were reaching the Stafford residence soon and he couldn’t help but steal a glance at Calista and found that there was a sadness in her cold eyes. His heart suddenly tightened and he forgot all the negative thoughts he had earlier and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Calista looked up immediately, and that sorrowful expression in her eyes that she hadn’t hid away in time made Kallum’s heart ache.
He instinctively sat closer to her and after a moment of silence, he swallowed his pride and said, “I’m not angry, don’t worry. But don’t do this again, ok?”
Quintus nearly spat blood as he drove. How did Mr. Kallum think Ms. Stafford was worried that he was angry with her?
Kallum sighed at himself – why was he being so petty with a woman? Calista was his woman, and even though she had created quite the scene…he just had to go along with her.
When he thought about it this way, he suddenly forgot all the humiliation he had suffered just a few moments ago. He held Calista’s hand and suddenly understood Calista’s feelings.
“Do you find it very hard to accept my sudden change in attitude towards you after treating you so badly for so many years?”
Calista looked at him very seriously this time and wanted to say something, but her red lips remained tightly pursed together.
Kallum suddenly felt that she looked adorable and might be on the verge of breaking her cold wall down, so his purplish black almond shaped eyes narrowed slightly into a smile.
He bent down and gently kissed Calista’s check.
“I’ve been too negligent.”
Calista’s heart was moved for a moment. Was Kallum actually apologizing?
But it was too late.
Calista closed her eyes and she suddenly felt a bitterness in her heart. How nice it would have been if she could get a kiss from him in her previous life, at a time when she loved him the most.
“Nothing’s wrong. What happened tonight has nothing to do with you. I can’t accept you and that’s why I did something like this to státe my stand clearly. If you continue to cling onto me, I can guarantee you that what happened tonight will happen again.”

Chapter 64 Clash Between Ice And Fire.
Calista’s icy voice froze Kallum’s smile on his face, and immediately the anger in him started boiling again, making Quintus start sweating profusely again.
Ms. Stafford! Quintus started praying to his ancestors for help. If only Ms. Stafford had kept quiet all the way! Why did she have to speak up now?!
“GET OUT!!”
Kallum suddenly roared these two words.
Calista thought these words were meant for her, but Kallum was still holding on tightly to her hand and glaring directly at Quintus,
Quintus could feel the eyes on his back and he quickly stopped the car by the side and ran out of the car, not willing to stay one more moment in the car.
All the other cars thought something had happened and quickly pulled over, but luckily Quintus managed to stop them in time, and shakily said, “No, don’t go over, Mr. Kallum has some private matters to settle…
The other bodyguards looked at each other knowingly, their minds obviously in the gutter. But it was also difficult for Quintus to just say that Kallum and Calista were actually quarrelling.
The others weren’t present at the auction so they had no idea what Ms. Stafford did, so it was better for him not to say anything, so that Ms. Stafford’s image would not be affected.
After being trapped in the car by Kallum, Calista started getting angry too. “Let go of me!”
“No!” Kallum pulled her closer instead, glaring at her fiercely.
“What do you mean? Am I so hateful to you? That you’re going to find all means and ways to escape from
me!”
Calista tried to escape his grip but realized she couldn’t, so she decided against struggling and smiled coldly as she said. “Your analysis is accurate, so can you let go of me now? Or is the great son of the Fairchild family going to cling on desperately to a woman?”
If someone else had said such words to him, Kallum would have torn her to pieces. But when it came to Calista, even if he had lost all reason in anger, he would never touch even a hair on her head.
“Calista! Do you still have a heart?!”
Kallum clenched his teeth, his eyes shone unexpectedly bright in the darkness of the car interior.
“You don’t want to see all the good things I’ve done for you, but you insist on remembering the ugly past?”
It would have been better if he didn’t mention the past. Now Calista was really angry.
Her face immediately turned frosty as she coldly responded, “That’s right! I’m a petty woman who insists on remembering the ugly past! I remember how you constantly ignored me, and how you always only listened to Mirabelle! I remember how you hated this engagement! And I remember how you told me more than once! In disgust! To never appear in front of you again!”
Every word that Calista said ‘put the fire from Kallum out bit by bit. By the time she had finished speaking the fire had been completely put out and he was left with only guilt..had he said such things in the past?
