Chapter 1027


    Amelia pursed her lips. She was aware of her mother’s concern, but she couldn’t do anything about


    it. “Mom, I will save money for when I’m old. Besides, Aiden is a filial child and will naturally take


    care of me when I’m in my dotage in the future. You don’t have to worry.”


    “Amelia, tell me the truth. Are you still… pining over Warren? Because of him, you can’t let go of the


    past, right?” Matilda asked.


    Amelia went silent. Warren seemed to be an indelible mark for her. Even though she no longer


    loved him, she still couldn’t forget him.


    After all, he upied too much space in her life. It was even he who destroyed her ability to love


    someonepletely.


    Right then, she couldn’t bring herself to start a new rtionship, for once bitten, twice shy.


    “Mom, some things in the past can’t be forgotten. But I don’t love Warren anymore. I know this


    better than anyone else. Getting to operate a small business and being by you and Aiden’s side is


    exactly the life


    I want!”


    Matilda sighed, but she ultimately stopped pursuing that matter.


    Meanwhile, Lillian and Callum had filled out the registration form and had their photos taken at City


    Hall. At that moment, they were waiting to recite their marriage vows. Only after that would they be


    able to obtain the marriage certificates.


    But while waiting, Lillian could sense many gazes on them.


    After all, not only did she have a bulging belly, but Callum’s countenance was also very much


    attractive.


    Many couples waiting to recite their marriage vows nced at them and whispered among


    themselves every so often.


    Seeing that, Lillian whispered to Callum, “Say, if the news of our marriage got leaked by the


    paparazzi in the future, would everyone think you were forced to marry me because I was


    pregnant?”


    When Lillian said that, she was merely joking without thinking much of it.


    Callum threw her a sidelong nce. “If so, they truly don’t know me. I’m not a person who’d ever


    marry a woman because she’s pregnant. And unless I’m willing, no one can have my baby.”


    Lillian was stunned. “But I’m pregnant. Don’t tell me you were serious about me at that time?”


    Callum’s gaze gradually darkened. “Since I allowed you to do so at that time, I was ready to have a


    child with you. In this world, I only want abination of my bloodline and yours. No one else will


    do!”


    He never thought of allowing another woman to give birth to his child. Nor could any woman force


    him into marriage with a child.


    He only wanted to get married because he wished to spend the rest of his life with her.


    Lillian’s nose suddenly stung.


    When it was their turn to recite their vows on stage, Lillian recited her marriage vows word by word.


    At the same time, she could hear Callum’s crisp and elegant voice doing the same.


    “To have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness


    and in health, to love and to cherish till death do us part.”


    From then on, she was his wife, and he was her husband.


    “I love you, Callum!” Lillian confessed, staring at the marriage certificate in her hand when they had


    returned to the car.


    “What should you be calling me now?” Callum smiled,


    Lillian was stunned for a moment. Then, she btedly murmured in realization, “Hubby,” Although


    she had long since had her sights set on him as her husband, she still blushed when she uttered


    that endearment.


    “Good girl, Darling.” Callum leaned over and gently tilted Lillian’s chin up with a hand. He sealed his


    lips over hers.


    09:35


    Subsequently, as though he couldn’t kiss her enough, he promised hoarsely, “No matter what


    happens in the future, I will give up everything for you as long as you call me Hubby.”


    “I will also do the same for you. No matter what happens in the future, we must be frank with each


    other and not have any misunderstandings, okay?” Lillian murmured.


    “Okay,” Callum agreed readily.


    In the living room of the Quinn residence right then, Stephen and Abigail looked at the bundle of


    exquisite notebooks brought by Callum’s subordinate. After opening it, they were greeted by a list


    inside.


    The contents on the list stunned Stephen and Abigail, who had been honest citizens in their


    lifetime.


    The mary gift was more than tens of millions of dors. On top of that, there were various gold


    items, mansions, and more.


    “What are these?”


    “They’re betrothal gifts prepared by Mr. White. If you have anything else to add, just say the word,”


    Callum’s subordinate said respectfully.


    “Add?” Stephen and Abigail looked at each other and thought, “There are already so many things.


    What else would we have to add?”


    There were already so many things on the list that they were at a loss.

    The next day, Rosalie apanied Amelia and Aiden to the hospital to get cochlear imnts.


    When Aiden was trying on cochlear imnts in the consulting room, Rosalie looked at Amelia, who


    appeared distracted.


    “What’s wrong, Amelia? Are you worried about Aiden’s cochlear imnts?” Rosalie asked.


    “Huh?” Jolted out of her thoughts, Amelia shook her head. “No.”


    “Then, what are you worried about? You look preupied,” Rosalie pressed.


    Amelia touched her cheek and smiled bitterly. “It’s nothing. It’s just that Irene is out of prison.”


    “She’s out of prison?” Rosalie was stunned before remembering that yesterday was the day Irene


    got out of prison.


    With the York family applying pressure, Irene’s sentence was notmuted.


    Therefore, she was likely released from prison on the day specified in the verdict.


    “How about I send someone to protect you and Aiden?” Rosalie suggested.


    “No, it’s okay.” Amelia chuckled before continuing, “It’s been so many years. Besides, the Fletcher


    family is no longer powerful. Even if Irene truly resents me, she doesn’t have the ability to do


    anything.”


    At that precise moment, a voice suddenly rang out at the side. “Rosalie, Amelia… I didn’t mistake


    you two, right?”


    They looked up in the direction of the voice, only to see a familiar figure.


    It was Lucas.


    Rosalie was stunned, for she had never expected to meet Lucas again there.


    The once shy and honest man looked older than his actual age then. Wearing ordinary casual


    clothes, he had faint gray hairs on his temples. Beside him, he was holding the hand of a cute little


    girl.


    “It’s been a long time, Lucas,” Amelia greeted.


    Rosalie, on the other hand, said, “What a coincidence, Lucas. Who’s this little girl?”


    “Oh, this is my daughter. She’s three years old,” Lucas replied. Then, he said to the little girl beside


    him, “Nadine, this is Ms. Leighton and Ms. Haab. Be good and greet them!”
