    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.


    “If you need my help, just say it. Lillian, I can protect you now!” she said.All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.
