Chapter 826
After the kiss, he gasped and nced at her with a paleplexion. “Are you really not going to be
with me again?”
All of a sudden, his voice snapped her back to reality.
She stared at the man in front of her. He was no longer the man who once dered that once he
committed to dating someone, he would never end the rtionship. Nor was he the person who
would shower her with unconditional love and willingly join her in being a fan of someone or
watching a cliche TV series.
This man had already made his choice when she neededpany the most and was in a lot of
pain.
They never stood together on the same side.
“Yes, I won’t,” she replied.
There was a gloomy look in his eyes. “Who do you want to be with? Jerick?”
She replied, “Does it matter if it’s him? He’s a good person. Being with him makes me feel rxed.
Callum, you can marry Madeline, but why can’t I be with Jerick?”
“But you don’t love him. If you truly loved him, then when I just kissed you, you would have bitten
me to show your disdain, wouldn’t you?”
“Shut up!”
“Besides, does Jerick know how well we get along when we’re together? Does he know how
intimate we are? Does he know-”
“Shut up! Callum, who are you to say that?” A loud p was heard in the room as she yelled.
Lillian was shocked when she felt pain in her palm. She couldn’t believe that she had just pped
him.
Callum was pped hard, causing his head to tilt to one side. Soon after, a clear red mark
appeared on his cheek.
After a while, he slowly turned around and looked at Lillian. However, now his gaze turned sullen.
“You’re right. I don’t have that qualification… I’m sorry!”
As he spoke, he slowly turned around. “Feel free to stay here for a few days. I’ll give you an
exnation after.”
After Callum left the condominium, Lillian stared at the few people in front of her. They were
supposed to protect her, but she couldn’t even step out of the house.
“Ms. Quinn, Mr. White has assured you there is no need to worry. Your parents will be joining you
here shortly.” The group leadermented. “What? Are my parentsing here as well?” Lillian’s
eyes widened in surprise. She thought, “Did Callum invite her entire family to stay here to protect
them from all the trouble?”
Callum returned to the car wearily and ordered the driver to drive off, “Let’s go.”
“Noted. The driver answered and drove away from the residential area. Callum closed his eyes and
knew better than anyone that he was not qualified to stay with her now.
But he couldn’t help but think that maybe there was a chance to change everything. Maybe Lillian
could forgive him and give him more time!
Originally, he shouldn’t have kissed her. He suddenly forgot about everything and impulsively
desired to have the woman to himself rather than let her be with another man.
He knew that he was jealous, extremely jealous!
That was precisely why he acted in such an uncontroble manner and even uttered such words.
The Tall family… Madeline… Madeline’s decision to put him to the test left him with no option but to
proceed with his n without further dy,
Even though it would be better to wait and execute the n when it’s more secure, he decided to
end it now, driven by his desire to protect Lillian from further harm and any potential stigma.
Rosalie found out that the news about Lillian had be gossip in the evening when Jonathan
mentioned it casually. She checked her phone
and saw the news.
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Was Callum intentionally putting Lillian in a difficult position, thinking
it would benefit her in some way?” Rosalie aked
Tiras not an impulsave person Since he publicly took Lillian away today. #arier du head have made
some preparations Jonathan explic with a meaningful look
“What do you mean?” Rosalie was confused.
“If the person Callum truly loves is Lillian, and the reason for his breakup was to use the power of
the Tall family, then do you think someone like Callum would be willing to be controlled by the Tall
family forever?” Jonathan asked.
Rosalie was shocked. “Is he going to go against the Tall family?”
“He and the Tall family initially nned to have a marriage of convenience, but now there is such
news. The best thing for him to do is to separate from Lillian, but he did the opposite. He is either
foolish or preparing to go against the Tall family.” Jonathan analyzed.
Rosalie was pondering quietly. She thought Callum would marry Madeline soon, but now there had
been an unexpected change.
“What will happen to Lillian?” She was most concerned about this.
“Callum will protect Lillian for sure. If he truly ns on taking action. against the Tall family, perhaps
it is now necessary for him to safeguard Lillian, preventing any harm befalling her from the
members of the Tall family. After all, Callum suffered such a loss back then,” Jonathan analyzed.
Rosalie was stunned, and then she realized it had happened before. Back then, there was a conflict
within the White family. Callum’s two half-brothers assaulted Lillian, causing her severe injuries.
Even though Jonathan’s analysis calmed Rosalie down, she still called Lillian to check on her
situation.
Fortunately, Lillian’s call was not restricted. Rosalie was relieved to find out that Callum had
arranged for Lillian and her parents to live in a condominium on the outskirts.
Rosalie also shared Jonathan’s analysis with Lillian.
Lillian was slightly stunned and then said faintly, “This has nothing to do
was with me anymore. Anyway, I’ll take it as a vacation for myself these days. I will tell Callum
clearly that there is no need for us to have any involvement after the turmoil.”
“If he actually breaks up with Madeline, will you not consider him at all?” Rosalie asked hesitantly.
After all, she knew how deep Lillian was in love with Callum back then.
Lillian murmured, “I don’t think so. He and I have never been on the same side. He has different
desires than me. Besides, after five years,
10:39
many feelings have changed.”
Hearing this, Rosalie didn’t say anything more. After all, all the guesses about Callum now were
based on Jonathan’s analysis.
