After delivering his icy words, Kallum headed toward Calista. Wyatt wanted to intervene, but Quintus and the others stopped him in his tracks,
“Kallum, don’t provoke her!” Wyatt was held back by a few people, leaving no choice but to shout, “She’s emotionally unstable. She even thought of jumping off the balcony this morning!”
This wasn’t him scaremongering at all but a genuine hunch. Calista’s previously erratic emotions had made this clear.
Upon hearing that Calista was contemplating suicide, Kallum’s breath hitched. He quickly moved to her side, yet he dared not touch her.
“Callic?”
He gently touched her shoulder, his tone gradually relaxing. “I’m here. I’ve come to get you. Regardless of whatever I’ve done wrong, can we go home first?”
“I can go back if you want.”
Only then did Calista lift her head, gazing steadily at him.
“However, I have one request.”
A sudden sense of unease sprouted in Kallum’s heart. He asked anxiously, “What do you want me to do?”
Calista said very calmly. “I want to call off the wedding.”
Kallum was taken aback.
“Put simply, I no longer wish to marry you.
Calista’s calm words dealt Kallum a devastating blow, leaving him breathless and in pain. He tried his best to control his emotions as he demanded, “Why?”

Chapter 321 No Longer Wish To Marry You
Thinking back to the fortress–like research institute, the sea of rosemary flowers, the three unbearable years that were a living hell, and the nightmare–like memories of her reincarnation, a hostile glint gradually surfaced in Calista’s eyes,
“Because, I don’t have feelings for you anymore.”
This statement was an absolute blow to Kallum. How is it possible to just not like someone because they say so?
There was no way that Kallum would believe that all those years were a lie.
“Come home with me!”
Kallum seized Calista’s hand, his gentleness toward her abruptly replaced by a sense of assertiveness.
At that moment, a surge of determination erupted within Calista as she stood her ground against him. “I’ll only go back if you agree to cancel the wedding!”
“In your dreams!”
Kallum tightened his grip on her hand, a sudden flash of anger surfacing in his eyes. The wedding is just a week away, Calista! Are you screwing with me?”
“If you insist on an answer, then yes!”
