The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike novel Chapter 492

Chapter 492 

“How handsome is he?” Callum raised an eyebrow. 

“If I were 20 years younger, I swear I would go after him right away! I can’t even imagine how many girls he will enchant when he starts kindergarten!” Lillian exclaimed, suddenly transforming into a devoted fan of Aiden. 

Callum furrowed his brows and thought, “Handsome and cute? And she’s even going to chase after him? Talk about being awkward!” 

“If you were 20 years younger, would you really pursue him?” he inquired. 

“Yes! You have not met him yet. You should meet him the next time Rosalie brings him out. Rosalie claims he is even more attractive in person than he appears in photos…” Lillian’s voice paused as she noticed Callum’s expression was not quite right. She quickly changed her tone and said, “Of course, even if he is handsome and cute, he is not as good-looking as you!” 

She sighed inwardly as she abruptly changed the subject. She had almost forgotten how easily Callum became envious. 

“Do you really think I’m good-looking?” he asked, scrutinizing her. 

She continued to flatter him, saying, “Of course. He is no match for you. They say that kids who look good when they are young do not always grow up to be good-looking.” 

“So, do you mean that I didn’t look good when I was a child?” he asked. 

When she heard those words, Lillian almost choked. “That’s not what I meant. You must have been very attractive when you were younger. In any case, you are the most handsome man now! You have no idea how much I adored you when I first saw you all those years ago. And I have not forgotten about you after all these years…” 

Her throat felt parched, and she was embarrassed at her own remarks. Although it was generally accepted that women prefer to hear flattering remarks, Callum found those remarks to be enjoyable as well. 

When Lillian said those words, she pitied herself and felt disgusted. 

It was, however, her own fault that she fell in love with him. She had no other option but to coax him. 

Although Callum knew that Lillian’s flattery at that moment wasn’t entirely genuine, he couldn’t help but feel a bit pleased by it. 

As a result, he did not intervene and allowed her to continue. 

Afterward, Lillian had already finished her drink, and Callum had not yet stopped her. She licked her lips and swallowed her saliva. “Do you finally understand what I am saying? In my opinion, you are the most handsome.” 

“Ever since I was a child?” he asked calmly. 

She nodded vigorously. 

“But you’ve never seen what I looked like as a child, have you?” he inquired. 

Her head, which had been nodding vigorously, suddenly froze. “How about you give me a childhood photo of yourself, and I promise to keep it with me at all times?” she proposed. 

“Sure. I’ll give you a photo from my childhood later,” he agreed. 

The moment Lillian realized he was really going to give her his childhood photo, she was speechless.. 

Nevertheless, when Lillian considered how adorable Callum must have been as a child, Lillian began to anticipate seeing Callum’s childhood photos. 

Rosalie’s mood turned gloomy as the date for the court hearing in the hit-and-run compensation case involving Larry approached. 

Even if a lawsuit was successful, there was a high likelihood that no compensation would be awarded. 

At noon, Lucas called Rosalie and asked, “Do you know where the actress, Aubrielle Wood, is? I-I would like to meet her.” 

“Is there a problem?” Rosalie inquired. 

“All I want to do is talk to her about Larry’s situation. Maybe she will sympathize with Larry. I am not asking her to admit that she was the one driving, but she might be willing to give Larry’s family some money so that he could have better treatment, Lucas explained. He just wanted to make one last effort. 

Larry was, after all, an employee of his company, but the company was still in its early stages, and its ability to assist Larry’s family was severely limited. 

Even though the company had made several donations to Larry’s family, it was still insufficient to cover the enormous medical expenses they faced. 

On the other hand, the actress Aubrielle was quite well-known, and there were recent reports that she had purchased a home that cost 12 million dollars, implying that she might be able to cover Larry’s medical expenses temporarily. 

Rosalie was hesitant because the evidence at the time was insufficient. Even if the case was heard, the court might not be able to determine that Aubrielle was the true perpetrator. Perhaps the only thing she could do to help Larry was to make Aubrielle feel sorry for him. 

“All right, I’ll take you there,” Rosalie replied. She had been keeping an eye on Aubrielle’s activities recently and knew that Aubrielle was filming in the film studio at the time. 

“Okay. I’ll come to pick you up later,” Lucas said. 

“Okay,” Rosalie replied before hanging up the phone and going back to sorting through her documents. 

Shortly afterward, Lucas arrived. Rosalie got into the car, and they headed toward the film studio. 

“Are you all right that day?” Lucas started a conversation.
