Her Vengeful Rebirth ( Calista ) Novel

Chapter 169 Childhood Friends 

“Sometimes, you’re like Spirynus rectified spirit vodka, so strong it feels like it could pierce through someone.” 

Kallum spoke, and to her surprise, he actually took a sip of the alcohol. Under Calista’s slightly intoxicated. gaze, he suddenly kissed her lips. It was a gentle touch, yet his breath was even hotter than the alcohol. 

“You…” Calista suddenly felt that something was oll, but the alcohol had numbed her senses, making it impossible for her to react. Coupled with her implicit trust in Kallum, she found herself not pulling away when he kissed her. 

Kallum raised his eyebrows and smiled. His fingertips gently brushed against her face. He slowly said, “Sometimes, you remind me of a botrytis–affected wine, sweet with a hint of sourness, rich and lingering. One taste of you, and it’s hard to forget.” 

Initially, Calista had no idea what he was up to that day. Her eyes were solely focused on the botrytis affected wine he had brought out. However, upon seeing him down it all in one go and then frown, she suddenly realized something and gasped softly. 

“Today is your birthday!” 

A clear flicker of frustration flashed across Calista’s face. Once upon a time, she had always remembered this day vividly. However, in her previous life, during those final years, she had spent each day in hiding. subconsciously choosing to forget everything about Kallum. 

Moreover, in her entire life, she had never celebrated Kallum’s birthday with him. A year ago, he had his birthday in Lostaria, a place she hadn’t visited yet. That day, however, was Kallum’s twenty–fourth birthday. 

Kallum was also taken aback. He hadn’t expected that Calista would know it was his birthday. In the past, he seldom celebrated it and had never told her the exact date. Well, perhaps Wanda had informed her, but he was surprised that she actually remembered it. 

Calista’s face turned even redder, her eyes brimming with self–doubt. 

“How could I forget? I remember it clearly. How did I forget?” Her thoughts were a bit muddled, her words following suit. In her previous life, she recalled Wanda mentioning that Kallum rarely celebrated his birthday due to his busy schedule. However, he had a habit of tasting different alcohol on his birthday. which was how she remembered it. 

Hearing her say that, Kallum held his breath, feeling as if the joy in his heart was about to overflow. Could it be that Callie has been making a heartfelt effort to remember my birthday? 

“I don’t blame you. It’s understandable if you’ve forgotten, given how busy you’ve been lately.” That was truly what Kaiser felt inside. He was already overjoyed that Calista remembered his birthday, happier than receiving any gift or closing any deal. 

Calista took a gloomy sip of her drink, grabbing a strong liquor straight away and downing several glasses in succession. “I should have prepared a gift!” 

It was rare for Kallum to detget frustration from her indifferent tone. Seeing that she was genuinely drunk, he no longer restrained himself, letting his gaze reveal tangible affection. Due to the fact that he was in high spirits, he seemed to radiate light.

Kallum lowered his gaze, and there it was, the most radiant smile Calista had ever shown, after all this 

time. 

“Let me take you somewhere!” 

As she spoke, she took Kallum by the hand and led him outside. Kallum was entirely captivated by her radiant smile just moments ago, and before he knew it, he was actually following her. Once they were in the car, she confidently said, “Let’s head to Maple Tree Garden near Fairchild Manor!” 

Though Kallum had consumed some alcohol, his tolerance was undoubtedly immense. He drove steadily, heading straight for the suburbs. 

When she said Maple Tree Garden, Kallum immediately knew where Calista wanted to go. Maple Tree Garden was where Calista’s grandparents used to live. Later, he heard rumors that it had been burned down by an unknown person. 

At that moment, Kallum couldn’t help feeling puzzled. Why go if it’s already been burned down? Perhaps now that Callie is drunk, she has forgotten about the place being burned down. 

After reaching Maple Tree Garden, Calista led Kallum up the hill. Long–forgotten memories burst forth. and Kallum vaguely remembered that, as a child, his mother had brought him to visit these two elders.

The sunlight filtered through the forest, casting a dappled pattern on the ground. An encompassing silence held the area, broken only occasionally by the call of a bird. 

As expected, Calista was indeed intoxicated. Her eyes sparkled brightly as she alternated her gaze between the trees and Kallum, her mind seemingly lost in unknown thoughts.
