Chapter 907
The Ceo’s Convict Wife
âAll right then,â Lillian replied.
âWhat do you want to eat?â Jerick asked.
âJust something light,â Lillian said.
They came to a restaurant near the concert venue and ordered some light dishes.
While eating, Lillian felt sick again and hurried to the restroom to throw up.
After vomiting for a long time, she came out.
Jerick asked with concern, âWhatâs wrong? Are you feeling unwell?â
âItâs morning sickness.â Lillian did not hide it. After all, she had asked him out to tell him the truth.
âMorning sickness?â Jerick was stunned, and his expression froze as if he could not react at once.
âWhen women get pregnant, some of us will experience morning sickness because of the hormone,â
Lillian explained.
Jerick said, âI know what morning sickness is. Are youâ¦â
âWell, Iâm pregnant. Sorry,â she said as she looked at him with her clear eyes.
you are Jerick suddenly understood why he had a good impression of Lillian. She was a very genuine person.
âThereâs nothing to be sorry about. We agreed to become ordinary friends.â Jerick said, âBut pregnant now. You canât go to the concert later. How about we give these two tickets to those who squat outside and cannot buy them? Letâs make the best use of them.â
âWell⦠You got the tickets with great difficulty. Let me pay you back. I canât expect you to pay for them,â Lillian said hurriedly.
âNo, itâs fine,â Jerick said, âWhat are your plans for the future? Have you told Callum about this?â
Lillian was immediately depressed. She did not even say that the baby belonged to Callum, but as long as others knew she was pregnant, they would guess that the child belonged to Callum!
âIs it that easy to guess?â
âHe⦠Well, he knows,â Lillian said vaguely.
Seeing that, Jerick did not continue to ask but said, âIf you need any help in the future, just come to me.
I will try my best to help you.â
Lillian looked at him in surprise. âYouâ¦â
âArenât we friends? Itâs normal for friends to help one another. Lillian, no matter what happens, I wish you happiness,â Jerick said sincerely.
âThank you.â Lillian bit her lower lip slightly as she faced the kind man. She felt that she had let Jerick down.
After dinner, they came to the guild hall of the concert venue. Jerick gave the tickets to the young couple who were squatting outside the concert venue because they did not manage to procure the tickets. âThank you!â The other party was very grateful. âI wish both of you a happy life that is filled with love!â âHuh?â Lillian was about to clarify their relationship, but the couple had already rushed toward the entrance with the tickets in hand.
Lillian could only look at Jerick awkwardly.
Jerick said, âItâs just a misunderstanding. Donât worry.â
His casualness made her feel less embarrassed. Suddenly, a thought occurred to her, and she said, âBy the way, please donât tell anyone about my pregnancy. My⦠I havenât told my parents.â
Jerick was slightly stunned, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Then he said, âIs it because Callum is not willing to bear the responsibility?â
âWhat?â Lillian blinked and was stunned for a moment when she heard what Jerick said.
âCallum refused to take responsibility, so you dare not tell your parents about your pregnancy?â Jerick 09:00 asked.
âWell⦠I didnât tell my parents becauseâ¦â But before Lillian could finish her words, a voice had already intervened. âWho exactly is the one who refused to take responsibility?â
Lillian trembled and felt a chill all over her body. Then she turned around and saw Callum standing a few steps behind her.
âGoodness gracious! When did he get here?â
Jerick was also surprised to see Callum. At that moment, the way Callum was staring at him gave Jerick an inexplicable chill.
Callum walked slowly to Lillian, bent down slightly, and questioned her, âWhat? Are you telling him that Iâm not taking responsibility for the baby?â
âYou⦠Donât stand so close.â Lillian blushed and wanted to step back subconsciously.
But the very next moment, his big hand was already holding her waist. âWhy didnât you complain when you were even closer to me back then?â he uttered. His face looked a little pale under the moonlight, but there was a hint of ambiguity in his voice.
Lillianâs face suddenly turned redder, and she did not know how to retort for a moment.
Jerick came over and said to Callum. So, Mr. White, are you willing to take responsibility for Lillian?
Then please be a man and do what is necessary!â
Facing the Chairman of White Maple Group, Jerick did not falter at all.
Callum snorted and said, âWhat do you know? You know nothing, yet you are trying to order me around. Donât you find that ridiculous?â
Jerick said, âItâs true that I really donât understand much. But I am a friend of Lillian. Since you are going to have a baby with her, then you should cherish her!â
âCherish her?â A trace of danger flashed in Callumâs eyes. He let go of Lillianâs waist and turned to face Jerick. âWho are you to say these words in front of me?â
âIf you donât cherish Lillian, someone else will Callumâs dangerous aura made Jerick feel a little scared.
but he still said what he wanted to say.
Callum frowned. Seeing that things were about to go awry, Lillian quickly said to Jerick. Jerick, thatâs all for today. Although I didnât manage to watch the concert, I still want to thank you!â
Naturally, Jerick understood Lillianâs hint, but he still said worriedly. âDo you want me to send you back?
As soon as Lillian was about to open her mouth, she felt Callumâs hand firmly lock around her arm. She smiled awkwardly at Jerick and said, âNo need. Iâll⦠Well, Callum will send me back.â Jerick looked at Lillian and then at Callum. He knew it was not his place to say anything, so he nodded. âCall me if you need help.â
âOkay,â Lillian responded.
After Jerick left, Callum snorted coldly. âYou get along quite well with your blind date. Why? Were you going to watch the concert together?â
Lillian turned to look at the man in front of her and sighed, âIâm just friends with him. I wanted to watch the GB concert, but I didnât manage to get the tickets. Jerick helped me buy them.â
