Chapter 290 Agreed To Marriage
At the thought of Wanda, Calista’s stern expression softened slightly. She nodded. “Sure. Let me change. my clothes, and I’ll be right over.”
–
Meanwhile, Wanda teased with a laugh. “Kallum, you don’t have any objections this time, do you?”
Ever since she decided to become a test subject, Calista felt beyond confident about conquering the virus. After all, she had experienced it once and possessed an extraordinarily great memory.
And so, besides sharing the joyful news with Kallum, she also informed Wanda about it. When the latter learned that Calista was confident about conquering the K virus, she was over the moon. She got out of her sickbed.
Previously, she always felt guilty toward Calista and her late mother, leading to depression. However, once she learned that both Calista and Kallum would be fine, her spirits instantly lifted. Filled with trust and gratitude for Calista, she showered her with endless thanks and treated her even better than her own daughter.
Right then, the entire Fairchild family was in high spirits due to the good news, and there were significantly more smiles than before.
That night, Wanda was determined to finalize the marriage between Kallum and Calista. After all, Calista previously announced that she was pregnant. Naturally, the Fairchild family couldn’t be seen as irresponsible. Many people out there were watching their every move.
Of course, most importantly, it would be safer to marry such a wonderful woman sooner rather than later.
Feeling slightly embarrassed, Kallum shot Wanda a glare. However, the involuntary upturn of his lips gave him away. In truth, he had been wanting nothing more than to marry that enchanting vixen.
Therefore, as soon as Calista came downstairs, she saw the entire Fairchild family gathered there.
Hmm? A three–way trial?
“Callie! Are you feeling any better?” Wanda couldn’t help asking upon seeing her still noticeably pale complexion.
She walked over and gently guided her over by the hand to take a seat.
“I’m feeling much better. The medicinal bath Calista had significantly eased her pain. However, her complexion would likely take a long time to improve.
“What’s the occasion today?” Calista couldn’t help but laugh. “Actually, there’s no need for a special celebration. We can always celebrate after we’ve conquered the virus.”
Seeing her brimming with confidence, Silas smilingly shot his wife a glance. “Actually, today’s gathering isn’t just for celebration. There’s also an important matter we want to discuss.”
Calista sat beside Kallum, only to find him unusually stiff that day. His handsome face was stretched taut as if he was anxious about something, and he didn’t even spare her a glance.

For a moment, she genuinely couldn’t recall if she had forgotten something important.
“Have you forgotten about your wedding, silly?”
Calista was taken aback. Holding her hand, Wanda continued, “By now, the whole of Horington knows that Kaiser had proposed to you and that you’re carrying Kaiser’s ‘child‘, so if you don’t get married, people will start suspecting something amiss!”
She paused for a moment before she went on earnestly, “Of course, what’s most important is how well the two of you get along. I can tell that you have feelings for Kaiser. Kaiser feels the same for you-
“Mom!” Kallum’s face was stern, but his ears had turned red, and his gaze was evasive. How could she discuss such a matter so openly?
It was then that Calista realized what she had overlooked.
Ah, so that was it… Previously, we put on those two acts to dispel other people’s suspicion, and now, it’s time to pay for it… Marrying Kallum?
In truth, Calista didn’t feel much about it. Her current feelings toward people and situations could be summed up in two categories–hate and neutral.
She was neutral about both Kallum and Wanda, so there was seemingly no need to contemplate the
matter.
However, she still hesitated for a moment. “Does my dad know about this?”
“I naturally need your approval before I can talk to him!” Wanda shot Calista a reproachful look.
Then, she added with a hint of guilt, “Actually, now isn’t the right time to discuss this. But since we’ve already announced it, people would start suspecting something if we delay further.”
In reality, people asked the Fairchild family every day about when they planned to hold a wedding. After all, Calista was already pregnant. Thus, many were under the impression that they would have a whirlwind marriage.
Moreover, when Benedict came to see Calista previously, he also subtly inquired a few times. However, Calista always managed to deflect his questions. Now, it was finally time to confront the situation.
Kallum felt a bit unsettled. His eyes bore into Calista intensely as if searching for a reason for her refusal. In his eyes, Calista’s sacrifice for him indicated her deep love for him. Since they both loved the other, he couldn’t understand what there was to hesitate.
Sensing Kallum’s gaze on her, Calista finally shook her head in resignation.
“In that case… okay.”
Only then did Kallum breathe a sigh of relief.
“Fantastic!” exclaimed Wanda in delight.
Silas also said grinningly, “You two don’t need to worry about the wedding arrangements. I’ll have someone handle it. The date is set for a special date two months from now. I hope you both will be well

The matter of her marriage was hastily decided. Calista felt no particular emotion about it, but to others, it seemed as if she eagerly anticipated this marriage, hence her lack of resistance.
All in all, dinner was a delightful affair.
After they had finished eating, Kallum led Calista back. She couldn’t tell if it was just her imagination, but Calista found his steps much lighter. Could it be that he’s looking forward to our marriage?
