The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike novel Chapter 1125

Chapter 1125 

“That’s because Yasmin is the future heir of White Group. Since most of them want a marriage of convenience with the White family, they naturally have designs on her,” Callum remarked. 

“Are you really going to let Yasmin take over White Group?” Lillian said, “What if Yasmin she’s a failure as a businesswoman? Aren’t you afraid that she will ruin the company?” 

“Once I hand it over to her in the future, it will be up to her on how she manages it. Whether White Group will expand or collapse will be up to her.” 

Lillian was stunned. Callum sounded as if he was giving his daughter a toy instead of a company worth billions of dollars. 

“How about I have more children? We’ll be able to see who is suitable to take over,” Lillian suggested after some thought. After all, it was good to have more choices than to put all their eggs in one basket. 

However, her words triggered a sudden change in Callum’s face as he snapped, “No!” 

Lillian looked at him in surprise and felt that he was overreacting. “Why not? Didn’t you use to think it would be good to have more children?” 

Callum pursed his thin lips, then raised his hands and held Lillian in his 

arms. 

They were standing in the banquet hall at that moment, and their hug immediately attracted many people’s attention. 

“Hey, people are watching…” Lillian reminded him in a low voice. However, midway through her sentence, she suddenly froze because she could feel that Callum was trembling when he held her arms. 

“He’s… trembling!” 

“Callum, are you all right? Is something wrong?” Lillian hurriedly asked. “If you feel unwell, we can make an excuse and I’ll take you to the hospital right away.” 

Anyway, she could still let Jonathan and Rosalie help her host the sip and see party. 

Callum replied in a low voice, “It’s not that I’m not feeling well, it’s just

that… I’ve had enough, Lillian. We now have Yasmin, and she’s enough. So let’s not have any more children, okay?” 

Lillian was stunned. She understood what he was afraid of. During her recent birth, he had thought that he was fully prepared. However, her water broke ahead of time and she almost died after childbirth. She was even in a postpartum coma for many days. 

“But… this time was because I had been injected with a toxin. It’s not like someone is out to harm me every time I give birth to a child. If we were to be more careful next time…” she whispered. 

“But I don’t want to take any more risks.” Callum added, “I’m already satisfied with Yasmin. For me, she is the greatest treasure God has bestowed upon us. One is enough! Lillian, I didn’t want to experience that kind of fear anymore. When I watched you lying on the hospital bed with your eyes closed, and there was no movement other than your breathing, I was really scared…”‘ 

Every time he dreamt of the despair he felt back then, he would be jolted awake and subsequently stare blankly at her, taking a long time to come back to his senses. 

Lillian suddenly felt a little sad, for he had never told her about it before. She assumed that the matter was behind him after she had woken up from her coma. 

It turned out that he was still traumatized by the experience. 

Lillian hugged Callum, patted him on the back, and comforted him softly, “There, there. Don’t be afraid. I will always be with you. You know me, I always keep my promises!” 

“You two, 

how long are you going to continue hugging each other?” When a joking voice sounded in Lillian’s ear, she quickly regained her senses. She stopped hugging Callum and turned to Rosalie who had come over without her realizing it. When she realized that many people were looking at them, her face suddenly blushed. 

When Rosalie noticed her friend’s reddened eyes, she was shocked. Nonetheless, she held Lillian’s hand with a smile and said, “Come on, let me show you what I got Yasmin as a gift. Then, she took her friend to the lounge. 

Jonathan, who was standing beside them, didn’t follow. Instead, he walked up to Callum and said, “It looks like you have inadvertently

dispelled the gossip of those present who were having doubts about your relationship with Lillian.” 

Despite hearing the comment, Callum didn’t explain the hug. He didn’t do it to end the gossip about him. Instead, he was driven by an uncontrollable urge. 

He was truly afraid when Lillian brought up the matter about having another baby. 

“What would you do if Rosalie got pregnant again?” Callum suddenly asked. As far as he knew, Rosalie’s body suffered a lot when she gave birth to the triplets. If she were to become pregnant again, it would definitely cause great damage to her body. 

“She won’t get pregnant again, and I will not let it happen,” Jonathan said with certainty, then raised his eyebrows and looked at Callum. “What? Are you afraid that Lillian will be pregnant again?” 

“Yeah, I’m scared.” Callum smiled wryly. 

After all, if he experienced that situation again, he was afraid he would go 

crazy. 

“If a man doesn’t want his wife to have children, there are many ways. It depends on how much you are willing to sacrifice for her,” Jonathan said. He had also experienced the situation Callum was in at that moment. 

Hearing that, Callum gave it some thought. 

In the lounge, Rosalie was asking Lillian about what happened just now and why her eyes were red. Lillian said, “When I said that I wanted to have more children, Callum was scared and told me not to. I… I never 

knew he was so scared.” 

When Lillian spoke, her voice was still choking. 

Having watched Callum go through the period of Lillian’s coma, Rosalie understood the former’s fear. “Man might sometimes look very strong as if they could endure the greatest adversity, but there are times when they can be weak and fragile.”
