Chapter 479 I Should Be Leaving Too
Judging from his appearance and personality, it was hard to believe that Kallum was capable of such levels of meticulousness.
Unbeknownst to Kallum, he had matured significantly. It seemed as if he had transformed to perfectly complement Calista’s personality, becoming the ideal lover for her. This was not something just anyone could achieve.
So, apart from Calista, Jarrett probably needed to vent too.
Watching the scenery gradually fade away, seeing the light slowly dimming, feeling Calista’s tight embrace and the warmth that spread from his back to his heart, a smile formed at the corners of Jarrett’s mouth.
Remember it well, Jarrett! Remember her warmth and her scent! This memory is enough to last a long time! It’s just as Kallum said. Calista has suffered a great deal in the past. Of course, I could see that too. No girl is naturally this numb yet sensitive, so sharp yet guarded. Therefore, from the moment I started liking her, I made a subconscious effort not to put any pressure on her. I’m not the only one who thinks this way. Wyatt and Ambrose do too. None of them pressured her, yet they are all willing to go all out whenever she needs them. They simply wish for her well–being and hope that their affection could heal her and provide her with warmth.
It was hard to believe that he would someday embody such a fearless spirit and learn to extend kindness unconditionally, all for the sake of her smile.
Is it worth it? Actually, it is quite worth it. After all, who couldn’t play the role of an angel once in a while?
After getting off the motorcycle, Calista was unsteady on her feet, but the effect was quite obvious. Her face was flushed red, her eyes were bright and compelling, and she seemed somewhat annoyed, glaring at Jarrett. This was a stark contrast to her usual aloof demeanor, which made her seem incredibly lively.
“You’re practically asking for trouble! It’s freezing outside, and there might even be icy patches on the road, yet you’re riding so fast! I–I’ll tell Ambrose about this!”
Feeling the chill of her harsh threats, Jarrett casually put on his glasses, a devilish grin spreading across his face as he said, “Too bad you can’t handle it. Did you think I’d let just about anyone hop on my motorcycle?” Ads by PubFuture
Calista scoffed. “Just wait till you have to explain everything to Ambrose!”
Whenever Ambrose began to lecture, all Jarrett could do was endure it.
Calista turned around in frustration, but almost fell due to her wobbly legs.
Jarrett reacted swiftly, reaching out to steady her. Calista tumbled into his embrace. In that moment, they were incredibly close.
Behind his glasses, the mirth in Jarrett’s eyes vanished and was replaced by a seriousness that was almost
Stern.
“Calista, Kallum wishes for you to open your heart, to be happy like everyone else. But I am actually the one who yearns the most for you to open up your heart.”
Calista slightly furrowed her brows.

locked away. We didn’t even stand a chance.”

+5 Pearls.
His fingers traced a path over Calista’s heart as he added, “It seems you’ve locked up your emotions too after you locked your heart away. You don’t reach out to people, you don’t flirt, and you don’t even allow yourself to feel attraction. A person like you truly makes things difficult for everyone around you. If only you had opened your heart a bit sooner, would that have meant I might have had a chance?”
After he finished speaking with a laugh, the expression on Calista’s face gradually became more serious.
“Did I, by any chance, cause any trouble for you all?”
Although her outward appearance didn’t show it, Jarrett could sense her inner unease. She was worried about negatively affecting those she cared about, hence, she had always been independent so as to avoid troubling anyone.
Suddenly, Jarrett reached out, gently touched her head, and broke into a smile.
Calista’s heart was pure and tender. All her sharp edges were just a facade. She had been through an accident, yet she managed to retain her innate kindness. She was wise yet naive at the same time. That was what made her adorable and charming.
It was no wonder they all adored her. In certain ways, her simplicity was irresistibly endearing.
“You would never be a bother to anyone, and if you were, it would only be a delightful inconvenience.”
Jarrett’s words left Calista somewhat perplexed. Before she could make sense of it all, Jarrett’s expression tensed up, followed by a slight curl of his lip.
Calista followed his gaze down the road to its end, where Kallum was casually leaning against a motorcycle. The last sliver of the setting sun’s light bathed him, elongating his already tall figure. He glanced over, his usually bold features now held a hint of loneliness. He looked as if he had been waiting for a long time. Ads by PubFuture
Upon seeing him, Calista was initially taken aback, then inexplicably felt a tad guilty.
Jarrett remained silent, but it was Kallum who took the initiative. He walked over, draping a coat over her and smoothly led her away from Jarrett’s embrace..
Kallum was helping her adjust her clothes when he said, “Mom cooked dinner tonight. She’s waiting for us to come home and eat. Shall we go now?
With just a single sentence, he left Jarrett speechless. Kallum’s words were laced with a tone of closeness that only a family could provide.
Calista glanced at Kallum, then turned back to Jarrett and said, “I’ll get going now.”
After a moment of thought, she added. “Thank you for bringing me out to clear my mind. I had a lot of fun today.”
Only then did Jarrett’s expression lighten slightly. His hand clenched and then released, and he muttered after a moment of silence, “Go ahead. I should be leaving too…”
Calista nodded and walked away without a backward glance.
