“I have half-sisters and half-brothers,” Callum responded. “My father had numerous women in his life, which resulted in a considerable number of children.” 

Neither Stephen nor Abigail anticipated such a response, making the atmosphere awkward, as they were uncertain about how to react to the unexpected revelation. 

When she saw her parents’ awkwardness, Lillian uttered, somewhat unexpectedly, “Mom, Dad, those are the actions of a previous generation. His parents do not define him!” 

Callum regarded Lillian with astonishment. Unbeknownst to him, a subtle warmth graced his eyes. 

Stephen was the first to regain his composure and added, “Indeed, you’re correct. The past is behind us. So, Callum, what is your current occupation?” 

“I am mainly tasked with overseeing a company’s operations,” Callum responded. 

“Overseeing… a company?” Stephen appeared somewhat skeptical upon hearing this and inquired, “Which company are you managing? I recall you being just 29 years old.” 

From Stephen’s viewpoint, achieving a standard middle management role at the age of 29 would be considered quite commendable. 

However, the idea of managing a company sounded rather unconventional and gave rise to doubts regarding its feasibility. 

Callum replied, “It’s called White Maple Group, Mr. Quinn: Have you heard of it?” 

As an everyday citizen like Stephen, he would not be familiar with the name of a renowned shipping company. However, when it came to the vehicles parked within the residential area, he could readily identify them by simply glancing at their logos. 

Stephen could only offer a slightly awkward smile and inquired, “Well… I’m not familiar with it. Is it a recently established company?” He surmised that, in this day and age, young individuals often ventured into entrepreneurship, so the creation of a new company wouldn’t be out of the ordinary.

Callum, on the contrary, Callum didn’t make any remarks about it and simply offered a smile. 

Lillian had initially intended to seize an opportunity to depart with Callum following their conversation. However, Stephen and Abigail expressed their desire for Callum to join them for dinner.” 

“Didn’t you mention having work commitments at the company today?” Lillian made a concerted effort to signal him discreetly with her eyes. 

“Work can wait until I’ve finished this meal,” Callum replied. 

Lillian was speechless after hearing that./ 

“Does he mean that he wants to have a meal here?” she thought. 

Having painstakingly completed their meal, Lillian noticed Stephen and Abigail wanted to continue their interest in a more in-depth conversation with Callum. Hence, she quickly intervened, suggesting, “I will take him for a walk 

Ik to aid our digestion.” She then promptly and eagerly escorted Callum out of the house. 

Lillian breathed a sigh of relief as they reached the elevator. She thought, “Today’s meeting with my parents has finally 

ended.” 

“If I don’t spirit you away soon, my parents will likely inquire about your entire family lineage,” Lillian remarked with a hint of amusement. “In fact,” she couldn’t help but complain, “when my parents pose the questions to you, you don’t need to give such intricate responses. You can keep it vague.” 

Callum interjected suddenly, “You’re secretly wishing that your parents weren’t pleased with me, aren’t you?” He continued, “If that’s the case, why did you mention that my parents do not define me?” 

His words momentarily took Lillian aback. “I think I said that because it was a subconscious response,” she pondered silently. 

“So… do you wish for your parents to approve of me?” he inquired. 

His gaze, inexplicably, stirred a sense of unease within her. “I just wanted to say that the past generation is distinct from the present, and you are different from them. My words did not carry the weight you may have presumed,” she clarified. 

She even turned her head away, trying to avoid his gaze. 

“Really?” he whispered, and his gaze briefly traced her slightly flushed cheeks as he fell into deep thought. 

Ding! 

When they reached the first floor, they exited the elevator and arrived at the spot where Callum parked his car. 

Lillian was eager to say goodbye to him. She waved and said, “Well then, goodbye!” She then turned, intending to leave.
