The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 595

It wasn’t until she woke up this morning that she realized she had left the phone on all night.

Callum didn’t hang up the phone the entire night!

When she made a sound cautiously, he immediately responded and said good morning.

His voice carried a hint of hoarseness, leaving her uncertain whether he had slept well or managed to catch any

rest at all after the commotion she had caused the previous night.

Speaking of which, it had been just two weeks since he departed Strico, yet she found herself missing him intensely.

She wanted to see him desperately.

After experiencing a life-and-death situation, she finally understood what she wanted.

When Lillian walked out of the subway station and toward the entrance of her residential area, she suddenly

stopped.

A black car stopped a distance away, and a figure got out of the car and walked toward her.

Lillian’s eyes suddenly reddened, and she started tearing up.

“Lillian, I’ve returned,” he murmured hoarsely. His eyes were filled with tenderness and concern as he gazed at her.

Lillian suddenly burst into tears and jumped into Callum’s arms.

She hugged him tightly and buried her face in his arms. She cried loudly as if venting her fear and longing.

Callum lowered his head and stroked Lillian’s black hair. He was slightly at a loss.

Her tears stirred a sense of unease and distress within him. Hearing her cry over the phone the previous night left

him uneasy and laden with self-blame.

It was his failure to protect her adequately that had led to these events. He knew he would never forgive himself for

the rest of his life if she had truly come to harm.

The more he envisioned that scenario, the more profound his fear grew.

However, when he saw her crying like this in front of him, he didn’t even know what to do so that she would stop

crying.

He could manage the schemes of the White family and others with composure.

Nevertheless, her tears panicked him. He could only murmur, “Don’t cry, Lillian. Don’t cry…”

After a while, Lillian finally stopped crying.

However, as she gazed up at Callum, her round eyes were red, swollen, and moist with tears. “Callum, I miss you

terribly. Do you know how terrified I was yesterday? I feared I would never see you again!” she confessed.

Her voice quivered and faltered as she spoke, overcome by emotion.

He responded, “I understand. I share the same fear of not seeing you. Thankfully, you’re safe and sound.”

She gazed at him in a daze, observing the man’s face etched with concern for her. Dark circles beneath his eyes

hinted at a sleepless night. He had mentioned his unresolved issues with the White family, yet he still returned for

her.

Lillian held Callum’s face with both hands and said, “Let’s get married. I will marry you as soon as you settle the

White family matters!”

Although they had discussed marriage in the past, it was the first time she felt such an ardent desire to marry him

and be with him, spurred by the life-and-death situation she had recently faced.

She yearned to cherish every possible moment with him, recognizing the preciousness of each passing second.

Maybe it was because of her experience that she cherished him even more now.

Even if they were just standing together, locked in each other’s embrace, she regarded it as a profound blessing.

Callum stared at the person in front of him, bent down, and gently put his forehead on hers. “Okay, then we will get

married. Iwant to give you a grand and magnificent wedding and let you be my wife!”

She smiled sweetly with tears in her eyes. In fact, she didn’t care about how grand and magnificent the wedding

would be. She only cared about whether their relationship could last forever!

She wanted to be with him for the rest of her life.

In the living room of the Quinn residence, Lillian was sitting in the living room with Callum before her tears could

completely dry up. They were facing her parents’ interrogation.

“Are you guys getting married now?” Stephen asked as he looked at his daughter and future son-in-law.

Although he and his wife were quite satisfied with Callum and supported Lillian’s relationship, they felt it was too

early for them to get married now. Lillian and Callum had only been together for a year.

“Yes, I’m going to marry Lillian. Please give me Lillian’s hand in marriage,” Callum said. He had been holding

Lillian’s hand ever since he entered the Quinn residence.

Abigail couldn’t help saying, “Callum, you haven’t been with Lillian for a long time. It’s not you, but marriage is a

lifelong commitment. Before making any decisions, you two should get to know one another well. We don’t want

you to get married too hastily or marry on a whim.”

Stephen and Abigail believed that if the couple got married in a hurry, they would also divorce quickly.

Lillian couldn’t help but say, “Mom, it doesn’t matter how long we’ve been dating. I think I know Callum well

enough! You always encouraged me to get married quickly when I wasn’t dating in the past. Are you telling me to

slow down now that I’m finally getting married?”

Abigail glared at her daughter. They were thinking about her, but she was retaliating.

Stephen concluded, “Anyway, it’s too fast! We are not against you two together, but you guys have to think more

responsibly about getting married!”

Then, Stephen looked at Callum and continued, “The White family seemed to be in quite a mess. There are also

many reports in the news media. I don’t want my daughter to get involved in these prominent families’ issues when

she gets

married.”

After all, according to his understanding of his daughter, his daughter wouldn’t be able to handle such conflicts.

Callum said with great certainty, “I won’t let Lillian get involved in this. At most, in two months, I can resolve all the

problems of the White family. At that time, I will give Lillian a quiet and peaceful family. Besides…”

He paused and turned to look at Lillian beside him. “I have loved Lillian for more than a year. I have loved her since

I met her four years ago! The decision to marry her is never a hasty one, but it is the most serious decision I will

ever make!”

He looked back at Stephen and Abigail again with determination in his eyes. “I want to marry Lillian. She’s the only

one I wish to marry in this life. It has nothing to do with time!”
