Her Vengeful Rebirth ( Calista ) Novel

Chapter 348 We Are In This Together 

Dine and dash! That would be unthinkable! 

Kallum 

smoothly and called over the boss. Maintaining his composure, he inquired, “Is it possible to pay. with a card here?” 

He produced a sleek black gold card, which caused the corners of the boss‘ mouth to twitch, skepticism evident in his expression. These two look like decent people, yet they’re planning to dine and dash? 

He straightened his back and raised his voice. “I’m sorry, but our establishment is small and we don’t have the facilities to accept card payments.” 

Kallum’s irritation flared at the doubtful look from the boss. He quickly suggested, “Then I’ll settle the bill with my watch.” His watch was clearly an expensive piece, signaling his willingness to resolve the matter honorably. 

Before he could proceed, Calista intervened, removing a pearl hair clip from her hair and offering it to the boss. “I apologize for the oversight, I rushed out this morning and forgot to bring any money. Would it be possible to use this hair clip as payment?” 

The lady boss‘ eyes lit up at the sight of the elegant hair clip. The craftsmanship was exquisite, and the pearls glowed with a lustrous sheen. Clearly recognizing its value, she quickly agreed, her laughter ringing out, “Absolutely, this is more than sufficient! I’ve never seen such beautiful jewelry before!” 

Reluctant to part with the hair clip, which clearly meant something to Calista, Kallum was visibly uncomfortable with the transaction. 

Calista, seeing his reluctance, gently pulled him away from the scene, whispering, “Don’t make a fuss. How much do you think your watch is worth compared to my hair clip?” 

Even though her hair clip was a gift from Wanda and despite the large pearl on it certainly not being cheap, it paled in comparison to the price of a limited–edition luxury watch. 

Recognizing her decision was final, Kallum reluctantly sent a discreet message to Quintus to arrange for the hair clip’s retrieval later. No object that belonged to Calista should ever permanently leave her possession. 

After his recent experiences, Kallum had learned a valuable lesson. Spotting a bank, he decided that his first course of action would be to withdraw some money. He had come to the stark realization that there was no one around to indulge him or attend to his every need; it was up to him to take care of his own necessities. 

He planned to withdraw a significant amount of money, more than would be convenient at an ATM, so they chose to approach the teller counter instead. There, in line ahead of them, was a couple who appeared to be newly married, likely there to deposit the monetary gifts they had received at their wedding. 

Amid the bustling activity of the bank, Kallum’s patience began to wear thin. It was then that he overheard the woman from the couple discussing their financial plans. “From now on, this two hundred thousand will be our life’s startup fund. Should we put it into your account, or…”

The woman burst into laughter, filled with genuine happiness. Furthermore, the bank staff processing their transaction looked on with evident admiration and remarked, “Your husband treats you so well!” 

Other customers in the bank also noticed the couple, casting subtle, envious glances their way. Observing this, Kallum seemed to glean some deeper understanding. He glanced at Calista, who was absorbed in watching the television on the wall. He chose not to interrupt her contemplation, his face marked by a thoughtful expression. 

After they had withdrawn two hundred and fifty thousand, they realized they had nothing to carry the large sum of cash in. The bank offered them a cloth bag, which Kallum accepted without hesitation and then handed to Calista. 

Holding the bag full of money, Calista looked utterly perplexed. 

Turning slightly away, Kallum’s voice came out a bit forced as he made a surprising declaration. “You’re in charge of all my money.” 

This left Calista even more battled. What’s going on? 

One of the bank staff, unable to hide their amusement at the couple’s interaction, chuckled and remarked, “What’s going on today? It seems I’m witnessing quite a few romantic gestures this morning! Young lady, your boyfriend is not only wealthy and handsome, but he clearly adores you too. You’re very fortunate!” 

“Huh?” Calista barely had time to process this before Kallum was pulling her along. 

They hadn’t gotten far when Calista suddenly stopped. Her expression was a mix of confusion and irritation, yet she managed to maintain a composed exterior. Instead of voicing any frustrations, she simply handed the heavy bag back to Kallum with a hint of annoyance. 

“It’s so heavy. Did you do that on purpose?” she complained. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Huh?” Kallum appeared genuinely taken aback. This wasn’t going quite as he had planned. Indeed, the bag was heavier than necessary. After contemplating for a brief moment, he hastily pulled out the only black gold card he had brought with him and offered it to her, “Then, you take this!” 

He pressed the card into her hand firmly and explained, “You’ve been taking care of me without expecting anything in return. Accept this as my way of showing my gratitude. Keep your money, and use mine whenever you need anything.” 

Offering her an unlimited black card as compensation struck Calista as both humorous and slightly ludicrous. Sensing that she might reject the gesture, Kallum decided to say nothing further and walked away with the cash. 

Calista caught up with him after a moment of hesitation. She did not return the card but instead inquired curiously, “Why are you withdrawing so much cash? Most large stores take cards these days, so there’s no real need for cash, and it tends to attract attention.” 

As they walked, the attention of passersby was indeed drawn to the bulging bag of money. 

“Of course, it was necessary.” Kallum responded enigmatically. “Now, let’s head somewhere else.” 

Calista’s wariness was palpable. “This isn’t going to be another case of breaking into homes and dining and dashing, is it?”

he assured her. “We agreed you’re with me today, right? Whether it’s breaking into houses, dining and dashing, or even more extreme activities like robbing a bank, you’re in this together with me!”
