The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 974
Stephen said to Lillian, “No matter what happens in the end, your mother and I will always stand behind you. Our pensions are
enough to support a grandchild.”
Lillian’s eyes grew moist. She willfully decided to get pregnant out of wedlock and wanted to give birth to the baby. Even so, her
parents had remained her unwavering support from the beginning.
How lucky she was to be their daughter in this life!
After saying goodbye to her parents, Lillian walked toward the building of White Maple Group. “Will I get to see Callum? Or
should I say, will Callum meet me?” she thought, feeling nervous. Now, upon reflection, she realized how close she had been to
happiness. If only she had not misinterpreted the situation when she saw Madeline leaving Callum’s mansion and continued to
believe in Callum’s love for her. Perhaps they would not have separated if she had approached Callum to ask about the matter
and resolve the misunderstanding.
When Lillian arrived at the entrance of White Maple Group, she suddenly stopped and was stunned. Several people were
walking out of the company, and the one at the front was none other than Callum! He was dressed in a suit. He appeared thinner
compared to Lillian’s memory. His black hair was slicked back, exposing his broad forehead. This accentuated his handsome
features, but it also intensified the sense of intimidation he exuded.
His entire presence exuded an air of solemnity. At that moment, Lillian gazed at Callum in a trance, and all she could see in her
eyes was his presence.
Callum seemed to notice her gaze. He turned his head slightly and looked in the direction of Lillian. The moment he saw her, his
pupils suddenly shrank, and his footsteps stopped.
“Cal...”
Before Lillian could finish her word, the next moment, Callum had already taken a step forward and turned his head away from
her without sparing her a glance.
It was as though she was just a stranger to him.
Seeing that Callum was about to get into a black car parked outside, Lillian suddenly came back to her senses. She hurriedly
caught up and grabbed Callum’s arm.

“Callum!” she said hurriedly, just wanting to stop him from leaving so soon. “Give me some time. I have something to tell you!”
Callum stopped and looked at the hand that grabbed his arm coldly.
The people trailing behind Callum were taken aback by the scene that unfolded before them. Some people began to speculate
about Lillian’s identity. Of course, some recognized Lillian as the woman who had been previously associated with their director
in gossip news.
Callum’s eyes moved to Lillian’s face. His dark eyes were looking at her without any emotion. “Why should I give you time?”
“Ah...” Lillian choked. His indifferent eyes made her heart hurt.
me.” Even his voice was so cold.
“I don’t like being held by irrelevant people. Let go of
“An irrelevant person?” The words reverberated in Lillian’s mind. She felt as though there was a sharp sword piercing her heart.
She had once declared that from then on, they had nothing to do with each other!
But when similar words came from his mouth, she finally knew that those words were so hurtful!
Lillian tightened her grip. “Callum, I... I have a lot of things to
few moments.
tell you. Please, give me some time. Just a
“But I have nothing to tell you.” Callum pulled his hand away from Lillian’s finger and walked toward the car that had been waiting
there.

Seeing that Callum had opened the car door and was about to get into the car, Lillian suddenly shouted, “Callum, I love you!”

Upon hearing this, not only did Callum’s subordinates turn their heads with curiosity, but even some passersby on the roadside
cast inquisitive glances.
But to Lillian’s disappointment, Callum got into the car without saying a word and then closed the door without even looking back.
Immediately, many sympathetic eyes fell on Lillian. Of course, there were also some mockers. One of the senior executives even
berated the security guards a few paces away. “What are you doing? How could you allow anyone to get close to Mr. White?”
The security guard hurriedly responded and then stepped forward to pull Lillian away.
Lillian staggered as she was dragged to the side, but her eyes fixated on the car until the car disappeared from her sight
completely.
The security guard next to her was saying something to her, but she paid no attention. Her thoughts were consumed by the way
Callum had looked at her and his indifferent words.
In truth, she had expected this result. She had undergone thousands of rounds of mental preparation, but when she actually
faced all of this, the pain was still too much!
“It’s okay!” Lillian said to herself silently in her heart. Callum had suffered much more pain before, and the torment she was
currently experiencing was likely only a fraction of what he had gone through.
She was now in Jacaster and was in the same city as him. She was determined to fight for their relationship once more. She
held on to hope that as long as there was even a small amount of love left in him, no matter how tiny, she had to try.
Meanwhile, inside the car, Callum appeared weary, closing his eyes to conceal the complex emotions hidden behind his eyelids.
“She came to Jacaster!” he exclaimed inwardly.
Even just now, she shouted that she loved him!
However, if she really loved him, then, she would not have been so determined to draw a line with him at the beginning.
Callum could not comprehend why she continued to have an impact on him.
Just like before, when he was about to attend a crucial meeting, his secretary suddenly informed him about the explosion in
Strico, and reporters who had received early news had surrounded the company’s premises.

This was all due to Madeline being his former fiancée.
However, he was not concerned about Madeline’s safety in the slightest. Lillian was the only one on his
mind.
He even disregarded the crucial meeting and directly drove to Strico. The car stopped in the parking lot of the hospital, where
she was for a night. It was not until he confirmed that she was safe that he breathed a long sigh of relief. Then, he could not help
but realize that he was indeed a complete fool.
Since he wanted to cut ties with her, why had he driven here once more?
He should not even have to care about whether this
was alive or dead, should he?
He should not allow that woman to occupy his thoughts any longer. Even if she were to stand in front of him now and declare her
love, his heart had turned cold. It had grown frigid ever since the moment she had uttered those words “no regrets.”
