The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 193

“N-Nice to meet you too,” Stephen and Abigail hurriedly replied.

Stephen asked Callum to sit down, while Abigail took her daughter to a corner and said, “Is he really your

boyfriend? He’s not someone you found to pretend to be your boyfriend, is he?”

Lillian rolled her eyes. “Then just think of him as someone I found to pretend to be my boyfriend.”

Abigail said, annoyed, “What are you talking about? All right, now go get him some coffee.” After saying that, she

put on an enthusiastic face and walked towards Callum.

Lillian, who had become a waitstaff, walked into the kitchen and made coffee. When she walked to the living room

with coffee, she saw that the three of them were already talking happily.

“Callum, you said that you and Lillian met abroad. So have you been in touch all these years?” Abigail asked.

Callum smiled and said, “No, I came back from abroad recently and ran into Lillian on the street. Only then did we

get in touch. In fact, I’ve been looking for Lillian all these years. Fortunately, I have found her now.”

Then he glanced at Lillian. To Stephen and Abigail, it was a look of affection, but to Lillian, it was a threatening look.

Stephen smiled and said, “That’s fate, then. But you only spent a few days together abroad. Why do you fall in love

with Lillian?”

Stephen was curious. After all, Lillian went abroad only for a few days, but she could make a man miss her for three

particular, this man was obviously an attractive man. He didn’t need to worry about finding a girlfriend at all, but he

actually looked for Lillian for three years, which made Stephen grow even fonder of Callum.

years. In

“Lillian is a straightforward person, and I feel comfortable around her. And once I got drunk..” Callum was talking

when Lillian’s hand suddenly shook, causing her to spill half of the coffee in her cup.

“Ah!” she shouted and quickly put down the coffee cup, but the back of her hand began to turn red because of the

hot coffee.

Callum frowned as he quickly took Lillian to the kitchen in the Quinn residence and turned on the cold water tap.

Then, he placed her hand that had just been scalded red under the cold running water.

“Why can’t you even hold a coffee cup?” he said with a gloomy face.

Lillian said hurriedly, “Um, don’t tell them about us spending the night in the hotel later. My parents are

conservative. They’ll break my legs if they know about it.”

“Break your legs?” He glanced at her. “That’s cruel.”

Lillian realized that she might have exaggerated it.

“Anyway, just don’t tell them that,” she said with a pleading look in her eyes.

He pursed his thin lips and said nothing.

“Hey, Callum, how is it? As long as you don’t say it, I can…” She suddenly paused.

She thought, “What can I do? He doesn’t seem like he needs me to treat him to a meal. Should I give him some

other material rewards? This is embarrassing, though. He’s thousands of times richer than Tam. As for other types

of rewards, should I take him to a concert or sing and dance for him?”

After pondering for a while, she realized that it seemed that none of them was appropriate. So Lillian paused for a

long time as she didn’t know how to continue.

“What can you do?” Callum calmly bent down and looked at her.

Looking at his beautiful face, Lillian felt her heart racing again. She couldn’t help complaining inwardly, “Why do

you look so handsome? Especially your skin condition, which is better than mine. I really wanted to know what kind

of skincare product you’re using.”

“Um, whatever you want,” she replied, thinking that she didn’t have much to lose anyway.

“Okay,” he said.

She was stunned for a moment and thought, “Did he agree to my request? It seems like it didn’t take him too long

to think

about it.”

“How is your hand? Does it still feel hot?” He fixed his eyes back on her hand, which was still under the cold running

water.

“I feel nothing. It’s been under the running water for so long. It should be fine now.”

Then he turned off the faucet, took out a handkerchief, and dried her hand.

“Do you have any medicine at home? There’s still a little redness and swelling. You’d better apply some medicine,

he said.

“Okay Yes, I do,” she answered.

“Then go get the medicine now,” he said.

Lillian rushed back to her room and took the ointment for burns. After taking it, she suddenly found herself doing

whatever Callum said.

Despite the realization, she still walked out of the room with the ointment. As soon as she got out of the room, she

saw Callum sitting in the living room chatting with her parents.

When she got closer, she heard Abigail say, “I see. So after you got drunk, Lillian sent you to the hotel and took

care of you all night. Lillian is a kind-hearted girl. We often educate her to help others too.”

Hearing this, Lillian almost fell to the ground as her knees gave out.

She thought, “Kind-hearted? Help others? If Mom knew how I had taken advantage of him that night, she would not

have said such words.”

“Yeah, if she hadn’t taken good care of me so thoughtfully, I might have been in a bad situation. Sometimes getting

drunk could also cause vomit to get stuck in the throat and lead to suffocation.” Callum then looked at Lillian and

added, “I’m really grateful to Lillian.”

Hearing this, Lillian felt guilty.

Yet her parents said, “Well, this is what she should do. You’re both from the same country, so you have to help each

other when you are abroad.”

Lillian had the urge to bury herself in a hole.

At this moment, Callum waved to her and said, “Come here. Have a seat.”

She quickly followed his instructions and sat on the seat next to him. After sitting down, she realized that she was

being too obedient just now, like a pet dog listening to its owner’s instructions.

“Wait! No way! I’m not a pet dog!” she hurriedly added inwardly.

Callum took the ointment from her, lowered his head, and began to apply it on the back of her hand that had been

scalded.

Seeing this, Stephen and Abigail looked at each other. The latter said enthusiastically, “Callum, who else is in your

family? Have your parents retired?”

“My father has passed away, while my mother has been living abroad. I don’t think she plans to return to the

country for the time being,” Callum replied.

“Do you have any siblings?” Abigail asked.
