Immediately, he flicked Lillian’s forehead. “What are you thinking about? How can I fall in love withhim? You are the only one I will ever fall for!”
Nonetheless, because of Jonathan’s action just now, she seemed to have begun to be worried abouthim. Callum didn’t know whether he should thank Jonathan or not.
After he said that, however, she finally felt at ease and fell asleep with her eyes closed.
Callum glanced at her sleeping face and continued to drive.
It was time to start making marriage plans. He wanted her to be his wife and the lady of the Whitefamily!
In the car, Rosalie asked Jonathan, “If Lillian didn’t stop you just now, would you really have kissedCallum?”
Jonathan raised his eyebrows and asked, “What about you? Did you want me to kiss him or not?”
She thought that the answer was obvious. “You are my husband. Why would I want you to kisssomeone else?”
“Really?” He said, “I thought you liked watching such scenes very much but was just too embarrassedto tell me. If that wasn’t the case, I wouldn’t have known what kind of TV series you like to watch.”“Ahem…” Rosalie almost choked on her saliva. “Y-You’re overthinking things. How about I tell you allthe TV series that I watch in the future?”
“Is the TV series you are currently watching airing tonight?” Jonathan asked. “Oh, yes… There is anepisode every Monday to Friday night,” Rosalie said. “Really? Let’s watch it together tonight then,”
Jonathan said.
Rosalie was dumbfounded. She thought, “Together?” “You… Are you sure you want to watch it withme?” “Of course, I believe that I will like whatever TV series you like.” He smiled slightly, yet the smilewas so captivating.
Lillian was already in the lounge in Callum’s office when she woke up.
Callum was sitting by the bed and looking at his phone screen.
“What are you looking at?” she murmured.
“Nothing. I’m just checking online to see what documents one would need for marriage registration,”Callum said.
Lillian’s sleepy eyes widened in an instant, and all the traces of sleepiness disappeared.
“What are you talking about… Marriage registration?” she asked in surprise.
Callum looked at her face and smiled. “What? Don’t you want to marry me?”
“Uh…” She hesitated for a moment. “Well… I do want to marry you, but you’re skipping a few stagesand bringing up marriage so abruptly. I-I don’t know how to react.”
“Abruptly?” He glanced at her abdomen, which was visibly extended now. He thought that gettingmarried now would still be considered late since she was already pregnant!
Obviously, Lillian also thought of this. She couldn’t help but smile awkwardly and then said, “Why didyou suddenly think about marriage…”
Halfway through her words, she suddenly thought of something and asked, “Did Rosalie tell you whathappened when I went to the restroom today? Don’t worry. It was the two women who were talking
nonsense, saying that I was just a tool for childbearing and that you didn’t like me at all. I didn’t careabout what they said at all. You don’t have to rush to marry me because of this.”
Callum said, “What? Someone said all that about you today?”
“Huh? You didn’t know?” Lillian was stunned.
Callum’s face darkened. Although Rosalie did tell him that someone was talking about Lillian behindher back, he didn’t expect those words to be so harsh.

The woman in front of him was still smiling, saying that she didn’t care at all while she reassured him.Callum suddenly bent down and hugged Lillian. “I want to marry you. Marrying you is what I havealways looked forward to the most. It was just that ever since we made up, a lot of things happened,and that delayed our marriage. I was too careless. I thought that I would just be delaying things a littlebut I never thought about what you would face.”
“I’m not afraid of gossip!” Lillian raised her hands and hugged Callum. She had gone through so much,so the gossip of others meant nothing to her. As long as she was with him and he loved her, she didn’tcare about anything else!
“But I am!” Callum said in a low voice, “I’m afraid that the gossip will hurt you, your family, and also ourchild. Originally, I should have prepared a grand wedding for you after I dealt with everything. But now,we can only register our marriage first.”
Lillian said, “Then… Why don’t you come to my house tonight? Let’s talk about it with my parents.”After all, registering their marriage was an important matter.
“Sure,” Callum said.
Lillian hesitated for a moment and said, “So… Do you want to let your mother know about it?” Callum’seyes darkened. “No, I don’t need to tell her about the registration of our marriage.” Callum left thecompany with Lillian. He asked, “Does your family have any rules about marriage?”
“Rules?” Lillian thought for a while and said, “I haven’t heard of any rules from my parents.”
“What about the other requirements?”
“Requirements?” She was stunned for a moment. “What are you talking about? Are you talking aboutbetrothal gifts or something? I don’t like wearing gold anyway, so I don’t mind getting none. As for thebetrothal gift, people from Strico usually accept 10,000 to 20,000 dollars.”
That sum was naturally nothing for Callum, so Lillian didn’t worry about it. Also, she knew that herparents just wanted her to marry a good man and never thought of asking for anything from hermarriage.
Callum said, “Is that so? Okay, I see.”
The car didn’t drive directly to the residential area of the Quinn residence. Instead, it went to a largeshopping mall in the city. Half an hour later, Lillian looked at the things in Callum’s hands. “Uh… Do youreally need to buy so many things?”novelbin
Moreover, these things were all expensive.
The bottle of wine he wanted to gift her father already cost over 20,000 dollars. When he swiped hiscard, she felt shivers.
She wondered if her dad would feel pain when he knew the price of the wine.
Also, the jewelry he bought for her mother was even more expensive. Lillian thought it would be betternot to tell her mom about the price.
“My parents will be startled when they see all that stuff,” Lillian couldn’t help but say.
“Going to your place today to talk about marriage is a little rushed, so I can only get these for now andwill make up for it later,” Callum replied.
