The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike novel Chapter 826

Chapter 826 

After the kiss, he gasped and glanced at her with a pale complexion. “Are you really not going to be with me again?” 

All of a sudden, his voice snapped her back to reality. 

She stared at the man in front of her. He was no longer the man who once declared that once he committed to dating someone, he would never end the relationship. Nor was he the person who would shower her with unconditional love and willingly join her in being a fan of someone or watching a cliche TV series. 

This man had already made his choice when she needed company the most and was in a lot of pain. 

They never stood together on the same side. 

“Yes, I won’t,” she replied. 

There was a gloomy look in his eyes. “Who do you want to be with? Jerick?” 

She replied, “Does it matter if it’s him? He’s a good person. Being with him makes me feel relaxed. Callum, you can marry Madeline, but why can’t I be with Jerick?” 

“But you don’t love him. If you truly loved him, then when I just kissed you, you would have bitten me to show your disdain, wouldn’t you?” 

“Shut up!” 

“Besides, does Jerick know how well we get along when we’re together? Does he know how intimate we are? Does he know-” 

“Shut up! Callum, who are you to say that?” A loud slap was heard in the room as she yelled. 

Lillian was shocked when she felt pain in her palm. She couldn’t believe that she had just slapped him. 

Callum was slapped hard, causing his head to tilt to one side. Soon after, a clear red mark appeared on his cheek. 

After a while, he slowly turned around and looked at Lillian. However, now his gaze turned sullen. “You’re right. I don’t have that qualification… I’m sorry!” 

As he spoke, he slowly turned around. “Feel free to stay here for a few days. I’ll give you an explanation after.” 

After Callum left the condominium, Lillian stared at the few people in front of her. They were supposed to protect her, but she couldn’t even step out of the house. 

“Ms. Quinn, Mr. White has assured you there is no need to worry. Your parents will be joining you here shortly.” The group leader commented. “What? Are my parents coming here as well?” Lillian’s eyes widened in surprise. She thought, “Did Callum invite her entire family to stay here to protect them from all the trouble?” 

Callum returned to the car wearily and ordered the driver to drive off, “Let’s go.” 

“Noted. The driver answered and drove away from the residential area. Callum closed his eyes and knew better than anyone that he was not qualified to stay with her now. 

But he couldn’t help but think that maybe there was a chance to change everything. Maybe Lillian could forgive him and give him more time! 

Originally, he shouldn’t have kissed her. He suddenly forgot about everything and impulsively desired to have the woman to himself rather than let her be with another man. 

He knew that he was jealous, extremely jealous! 

That was precisely why he acted in such an uncontrollable manner and even uttered such words. 

The Tall family… Madeline… Madeline’s decision to put him to the test left him with no option but to proceed with his plan without further delay, 

Even though it would be better to wait and execute the plan when it’s more secure, he decided to end it now, driven by his desire to protect Lillian from further harm and any potential stigma. 

Rosalie found out that the news about Lillian had become gossip in the evening when Jonathan mentioned it casually. She checked her phone 

and saw the news. 

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Was Callum intentionally putting Lillian in a difficult position, thinking it would benefit her in some way?” Rosalie aked 

Tiras not an impulsave person Since he publicly took Lillian away today. #arier du head have made some preparations Jonathan explic with a meaningful look 

“What do you mean?” Rosalie was confused. 

“If the person Callum truly loves is Lillian, and the reason for his breakup was to use the power of the Tall family, then do you think someone like Callum would be willing to be controlled by the Tall family forever?” Jonathan asked. 

Rosalie was shocked. “Is he going to go against the Tall family?” 

“He and the Tall family initially planned to have a marriage of convenience, but now there is such news. The best thing for him to do is to separate from Lillian, but he did the opposite. He is either foolish or preparing to go against the Tall family.” Jonathan analyzed. 

Rosalie was pondering quietly. She thought Callum would marry Madeline soon, but now there had been an unexpected change. 

“What will happen to Lillian?” She was most concerned about this. 

“Callum will protect Lillian for sure. If he truly plans on taking action. against the Tall family, perhaps it is now necessary for him to safeguard Lillian, preventing any harm befalling her from the members of the Tall family. After all, Callum suffered such a loss back then,” Jonathan analyzed.
