Chapter 799
It seemed that, even unconsciously, he could not allow her to leave. He suddenly wanted to learn
more about how he loved her from the memories he lost.
When Callum returned to his mansion in Strico, he saw Madeline sitting on the couch in the living
room, leisurely waiting for him.
“Who let you in?” Callum narrowed his eyes and looked at Madeline unhappily.
“I’m your girlfriend now, Mr. White. Can the security guards outside stop me froming in if I want
to?” Madeline asked with a smile. Her gorgeous face gave others a sense of enchantment. “Did you
go to see your ex-girlfriend again?”
Callum’s face darkened abruptly.
He did go to see Lillian again, but he secretly hid in the dark, watched her drive to and from work in
the car from five years ago, and saw that she was dating and smiling at the man he saw the other
day.
However, he could only watch them. No matter how hard it was on him or how jealous he felt, he did
not even have the right to get close to them.
That was his Lillian.
“s, regardless of how many times you go to see her, you will never be together. Say, how old is
she? I think she’s already 33 years old. She should be getting married in a year or two. After all,
women can’t afford to waste their youth!” Madeline inched closer to Callum and gently stroked his
chest with red-painted fingernails.
“Shut up!” Callum suddenly grabbed Madeline’s hand and flung it away. His eyes were filled with
disgust as he spat, “Don’t touch me.”
“What? It has been five years, and you still can’t ept the reality?” Madeline shrugged. “Don’t
forget that you cried and begged me to save Lillian in the first ce. Otherwise, she wouldn’t even
arrive at the hospital seriously injured; she would have died on the way there!”
Callum’s expression was cial. Every time the memory of the incident flitted across his mind, he
would feel suffocated.
“Callum, I gave you everything you wanted-Lillian’s life and absolute control over the White family-
but the price you have to pay is to be with me, and you can never be with Lillian ever again! Didn’t

willingly at that time?” Madeline reminded with a raised voice.

Callum breathed deeply, but his face had already turned white as a sheet. She was right. It was all
his own decision. It was he who decided to remove any possible rtionship between him and
Lillian.
“Actually, Callum, why do you insist on holding on to Lillian? Am I not beautiful or good enough for
you?” Madeline winked, disying her charms.
Never once had a man she set her eyes on rejected her. Callum was the only exception. He would
not even be with her if she had not threatened him with Lillian’s life and the White family.
However, the more stubborn he was, the more fun she had conquering him.
“I’ve also waited for you for five years. Speaking of which, I’m almost 30 years old. Shouldn’t you
give me a wedding and make me your legitimate wife?”
Callum pursed his thin lips tightly. In his heart, Lillian was his only wife. It always had been.
Yet, his carelessness at that time had determined that he could never be with Lillian for the rest of
his life. He did not even have the right to be with her.
Callum lowered his gaze to hide the glint shing across his eyes. “If you really want a wedding, it’s
not that you can’t have it. After the matter in Strico is finished, we can discuss the marriage with
your family once we
we return.”
“Really?” Madeline was overjoyed. She did not expect Callum to actually
agree.
“Since I already said it, do you still think I’m lying?” Callum remarked impassively, but his gaze at
Madeline suddenly sharpened. “But you can’t touch even a single hair on Lillian’s head. I will drag
you to hell with me if you darey your hands on her!”
Madeline’s body stiffened. The gleam in his eyes was scary. Even if he agreed to marry her, she still
had no ce in his heart.
However, she refused to believe it. She believed Callum would fall in love with her sooner orter.
As for Lillian, she was nothing. She would probably be old and wrinkly in a few more years.
Lillian was not worthy ofpeting with her for Callum. Lillian was just

lucky enough to know Callum first. If Madeline had known Callum first, the person Callum loved
would surely have been her.
Madeline took a deep breath and smiled slowly. Her eyes gleamed with a fierce determination.
“Okay. I won’t touch her, but I want to be your wife.” Wearing a limited-edition ck gown, Rosalie
had on high heels of the same color, with exquisite makeup on her face and a ruby ne around
her neck. She looked elegant and noble.
That day was the first time that Rosalie had officially appeared at a banquet in five years. Naturally,
she had made sure her attire and looks were perfect. After all, as thedy of the Youngblood family,
she could not be aughingstock.
She had prepared a lovely pearl ne for herself at first, but Jonathan put this ruby ne on
her neck after she put on the gown.
“This ne is pretty. It matches your dress today,” Jonathanmented.
“Why do you have a woman’s ne?” she asked curiously. After all, the gown was newly
bought. He could not have purchased matching jewelry even if he wanted to.
“I’ve bought this ne for quite some time already. I saw it by chance and thought about buying
it,” Jonathan exined. What he did not tell her was that he bought the ne on impulse the
moment he saw it.
It was as if his subconscious was waiting for her then so he could give her the ne one day.
day.
When Rosalie looked at the ruby on the ne in the mirror, she remembered having told him
that the ruby was her birthstone because she was born in July.
Rosalie pondered, “Is that why he bought it even when he didn’t need ruby nes?”
At that moment, Rosalie slipped her hand into the crook of Jonathan’s arm and felt the gazes from
the crowd around them.
She lifted the corner of her lips into a small smile, not feeling frightened in the least, and let others
look their fill. Some among the crowd thought they would see Rosalie acting inferior or like a
nouveau riche.
Instead, they saw a quiet, elegant, tactful, confident woman.
