Chapter 906
The Ceo’s Convict Wife
âWhy are there so many parcels?â Lillian couldnât help asking.
âItâs all yours. Itâs not easy for you to make some money, so why do you buy so many things at once?â
Abigail grumbled. âDonât you know how to save some money? How much did you spend on these things?â âMine?â Lillian was stunned. There were at least 30 parcels.
Besides, she didnât buy anything online recently!
Lillian casually opened a parcel and saw that it contained a bottle labeled âfolic acid.â She shuddered and hurriedly grabbed the parcels. âWell, Mom, Iâll take these things back to my room first. Well, Iâm not going to trouble you!â
With that, she hurriedly picked up the parcels in the living room and returned to her room. She closed the door behind her and started opening up the parcels.
The more parcels she opened, the more shocked Lillian became.
Among the parcels, there were not only food for pregnant women but also books about pregnancy.
Other than that, some parcels contained baby supplies and skin care products for pregnant women to prevent stretch marks. There was also a set of pillows for pregnant women to sleep.
Lillian was only glad that she didnât open the parcels in front of her parents, or she would be shelled!
The name and address of the recipient on the delivery box were all hers. She figured Callum was the only one who would send those things to her.
Lillian quickly picked up her phone and dialed Callumâs number.
Not long after, Callumâs gentle voice came from the phone. âLillian?â
âDid you buy those parcels and send them to my house?â Lillian said.
âYes. Have you received them?â Callum asked.
âYes. There are more than 30 parcels,â Lillian said angrily.
âYou only received more than 30?â Callum asked.
Lillian suddenly had a bad feeling. âWait. How⦠How many packages have you sent to my house?â
âAbout a hundred. I think the things are useful for you,â he said.
She was rendered speechless and felt defeated. âOh, my! Are you so rich that you donât know where else to spend?â
âYou are the only person who Iâm willing to spend my money on,â Callum said.
Lillianâs breath hitched, and she said, âHurry up and take these things back. You can take the rest when they arrive at my house. I donât need them!â
âIf you have all these things, I can take them back. But if you donât have them, just leave them at your place,â he said.
âCallum, if I use these things that you give me, wonât my parents know Iâm pregnant? Do you think theyâre blind? How can I explain this matter to them, then?â Lillian grumbled in a low voice.
âJust explain it the way you should. Are you going to hide it from them for the rest of your life?â Callum asked.
âWhy canât I hide it from them for the rest of my life? If Iâ¦â At that point, she caught herself, bit her lip, and fell silent.
Callum didnât say anything either.
For a moment, a suffocating silence lingered in the air.
After a while, Lillian heard Callumâs voice coming from the other end of the line. âAre you planning to abort the child?â
âIâm just saying it casually,â she said timidly. Inexplicably, she felt scared when Callum asked her that question.
It was as if it would be an evil thing to have an abortion.
09:00 âAnyway, send someone to take all these things back,â Lillian said.
âAre you so afraid that your parents will know about your pregnancy?â he asked.
âHow could I not be afraid?â she said angrily. âIâm single and unmarried now. Do you think it is a glorious thing to be pregnant?â
Especially since her parents were quite conservative, if they really knew it, she would be severely punished.
âIn that case, as long as we get married, your parents wonât object, right?â Callum said.
âMafried?â Lillian was astounded. Although she had thought about that plan, she didnât expect Callum to come up with it so quickly, not to mention doing so over the phone.
âIf we get married, itâs just a matter of righteousness to have a child.â
Lillianâs breath hitched. Hearing that, she sniffled. She recalled asking him what they should do if she became pregnant in the past, and he had also answered in those exact words.
âCallum, do you think I should marry you happily if you say so? You canât even get my parentsâ
blessings for us to get married, so what right do you have to bring it up so casually? Do you know how much my parents hated you after we broke up back then?â Her voice choked, and after saying that, she directly. ended the call.
What happened back then was agonizing to her, but it was similarly a tormenting period for her parents.
In her most difficult time, the person she couldâve relied on suggested they broke up. To her parents, that was already a form of betrayal of their familyâs trust.
At that time, Lillianâs parents also wholeheartedly believed Callum would become a member of the Quinn family and their son-in-law.
Lillian sat on the bed, sobbing. Even if she tried to stop her tears from flowing at that moment, she couldnât stop them!
It was as if the emotions she had been suppressing all along were bursting forth at that instant. When she was at work the next day, she went to the office with dark circles under her eyes, which attracted speculations from colleagues.
When they were about to get off work, Jerick sent her a message: [Iâll pick you up and go to the GB concert later.]
Lillian was stunned. She had forgotten that matter because too many things had happened lately.
When she heard that the GB concert would be held in Strico, she wanted to see it but couldnât buy tickets at all. So when she had dinner with Jerick, she casually mentioned it to him.
Unexpectedly, two days later, Jerick told her that he had bought tickets and asked her to go to the GB concert with him.
Originally, she was quite looking forward to the concert. After all, it was her favorite celebrity group. The sight of five handsome guys performing at the same time was quite an enjoyable experience. But now, she had a lot on her mind.
Looking at the message from Jerick, Lillian hesitated for a moment and replied: [Okay.] After all, she had to clarify things with him sooner or later.
When it was time to get off work, Lillian walked downstairs and saw Jerickâs car parked across the road. She stepped forward and got in the car.
âItâs two hours away from the concert. Why donât we eat something first?â Jerick asked.
