Chapter 987
He glanced at her and saw her thoughts were written all over her face. Callum pursed his thin lips and drove Lillian
to the manor of the White family. Lillian was obviously stunned, with a look of hesitation and worry on her face.
“Don’t worry. My mother doesn’t live here, and she rarely comes here,” Callum said. “Besides, I told her not to
mess with you today. At least for now, she won’t.”
“At present?” Lillian bit her lips and wondered if his mother would still trouble her in the future.
She didn’t care about it, but she was afraid that the baby in her stomach would be hurt.
“As long as you don’t have an abortion, the baby in your stomach will be born safely!” Callum said.
Lillian was stunned and looked at him with some expectation. “Are you willing to accept this child? Then you…”
“This child is my child. I will definitely accept them, but that doesn’t mean I will accept you.” His words were akin to
a basin of cold water splashing onto her.
However, Lillian also said to herself in her mind that there was still time before January.
Additionally, Callum was treating her better than when she first arrived in Jacaster. Therefore, she believed she still

Lillian followed Callum out of the car and entered the latter’s residence.
The housekeepers in the manor were calm when they saw Lillian’s red and swollen face. They didn’t even have any
other expression on their faces, let alone secretly glancing at her. It was as if their employer had just brought back
an ordinary guest.
That made Lillian feel at ease. Consequently, she thought the housekeepers in the White residence were indeed
well-trained.
“Arrange a guest room for Ms. Quinn,” Callum told the butler, Dave.
“Understood,” Dave answered.
“Excuse me, can you arrange one for me that’s closer to Callum’s bedroom?” Lillian quickly added a condition.
After meeting Callum’s eyes, she smiled embarrassedly. “Your house is quite big, and it’s my first time here. I’m
afraid of getting lost. It’ll be more convenient for me to meet you if I need something.” Callum pursed his thin lips
and stared at Lillian.
At that moment, Lillian felt that her swollen cheeks were getting hotter.
After a while, Callum finally closed his eyes and said to Dave, “Just do as she

asked.”
“Understood,” Dave replied. Then, he thought, “Even though Ms. Quinn seems disheveled at this moment, she
probably means a lot to Mr. White.”
Just as Dave was about to leave, Lillian spoke to Callum. “Callum, can your driver help me get my pillow in my inn?
It’s meant for pregnant women, and without that pillow, I feel uncomfortable while sleeping.”
Dave almost slipped and fell.
“Pregnant woman’s pillow?” Dave thought. “Is she pregnant? Who’s the father? Is it… Mr. White?”
Thinking of that, Dave’s body trembled again, and he thought it would be another explosive news at Jacaster.
After that, Lillian called her parents. Of course, she didn’t tell them about her being beaten. She only said that she
would stay overnight at Callum’s place in separate rooms. Then, she asked her parents to remember to hand the
pregnant woman’s pillow to someone asking for it later.

staying at Callum’s place. However, since she didn’t sound like she was in distress, it should be a good thing.
When Callum’s men came to pick up the pillow, Abigail asked them to bring some pastries made by herself to her
daughter.
Callum looked at the pillow brought back by his subordinates and found that it was not only a pillow. In addition to a
regular pillow, there were a bunch of other pillows covering her side and back.
It could be said she was trapped in the pillows if she used it.
“Are you going to sleep with such a pillow?” Callum asked.
“Yeah. The further the pregnancy progresses, the more uncomfortable it will be for me to sleep flat on my back. It’s
much easier to lie on my side. This kind of pillow is very soft. Sleeping with this pillow is as soft as sleeping with
you,” said Lillian.
Callum’s ears reddened slightly as he thought, “Was she always this flirty? Why does it seem like she’s implying she
sleeps with me every day?”
“By the way, do you want this snack? In the past, when you visited me, you loved the snacks made by my mother!”
As Lillian spoke, she took out a soft snack from the lunchbox.
Looking at the snacks in her hand, Callum recalled scenes from when he spent time at her place.
For him, the White family was always cold and full of trifles. Even when everyone seemed to be getting along, they
were actually scheming against each other.
