Chapter 169

After Lillian returned home, she was still in a daze. She wondered, “Am I in a relationship with Callumnow?” Lillian had thought about the many ways Callum would take revenge on her, but she did notexpect that he would do such a thing.novelbin

Lillian lacked experience when it came to dating. So, she decided to follow Callum’s lead. If all elsefailed, she could just take notes from romance dramas.

However, Callum wanted her to fall in love with him.

Scratching her head helplessly, Lillian thought, “Does he want me to fall in love with him, and thendump me afterward?” At any rate, she could pretend to fall in love with him after a few months ofdating. After that, she would pretend to be heartbroken after getting dumped by Callum. Perhaps thatwas how she could settle this issue.

Thinking of this, Lillian could not help but let out a loud sigh, saying inwardly. “Who would have thoughtthat my first. relationship would start off like this?”

Still, it was much better than her original assumption that he would take revenge on her by destroyingher family.

of a man, especially not leaving without any sort of explanation. As such, Lillian.

Therefore, one should not take advantag had gotten her comeuppance.

Lillian’s parents of the Quinn family were still querying their daughter for not coming home for dinnerand her failure to inform them about it beforehand.

Lillian rolled her eyes and thought, “Mom, Dad, did you know that our family was nearly destroyed? I’mnow selling myself to protect us!”

Abigail said. “It’s not good for you to have a poor perception of time. I’ve also made an appointmentwith Ms. Walker from our neighborhood. She’s arranged a blind date for you next week”

Lillian was appalled. She thought, “I’ve just gotten into a relationship with Callum, and now, Mom wantsme to go on a blind date. It’s unbelievable.”

Moreover, Gertrude was known for being the neighborhood’s matchmaker, and she had even madeseveral successful matches. Therefore, Abigail often mer Gertrude, hoping that the latter couldintroduce a good partner to Lillian.

Lillian asked, “Mom… why don’t you let me find a partner myself? I promise to find someone you like.Of course, she did not intend to tell her parents about her relationship with Callum.

After all, she knew that her relationship with Callum would only last for a short while. She would “breakup” with Callurn

000.

Therefore, there was no need to tell her parents about this sort of thing. Otherwise, she would onlymake her parents disappointed after getting their hopes up.

Abigail said impatiently, “You’ve said this many times. Do you know that you are almost 28 years old? Ifyou don’t find partner now, you’ll be single and unwanted by 30.”

Lillian pursed her lips and said inwardly, “Nowadays, there are so many people who only start datingand getting married in their thirties. Being single and unwanted doesn’t mean I have to force myself into

a relationship. If I do want to get married, I must find someone compatible.”

However, at the thought of this, Callum’s face appeared in her mind again.

Lillian thought, “Ew! What am I thinking about?” Then, she quickly shook her head, pushing that faceaway from her thoughts. Following that, Lillian said to her parents, “I’m tired’ Finally, she ran into herroom.

As soon as she entered her room, she received a text message. It read: [I’m Callum. Please save myphone number for easy communication.]

Lillian glanced at the unknown number, sighed helplessly, and saved it on her phone obediently.

Now, she could only take things one step at a time.

Rosalie had begun looking for a job again. However, due to her criminal record, she often got rejectedin the end.

After completing an interview with another company, Rosalie could not help but smile bitterly.

She had thought she was mentally prepared for everything. Some companies did not offer basicsalaries for their riders. Rosalie was willing to take on the job, but she was still rejected by thecompanies.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Rosalie found a roadside diner and ordered a plate of pasta worth 2dollars.

It was the cheapest pasta in the diner.

There was also an old TV in the diner. At this moment, the TV was showing a news report. It was arerun of the previous day’s news, but Rosalie still listened to it casually. However, when she heard the

name of a familiar company, she looked up

at once.

It was the first company she interviewed at when she was looking for a job as a rider. The CEO of thatcompany had called Jonathan and told him about her interview.

Earlier, Jonathan had said that he wanted to delist the company.

Shockingly, the news report now said that the company’s current capital chain had ruptured, and itsinvestment plan was canceled unexpectedly. Since the previous day, many people who participated inthe company’s private fundraising had been gathering at the company’s entrance to demand a refund.

Judging by the footage taken by reporters, the scene was chaotic.

Rosalie was shocked.

She wondered, “Is Jonathan behind this? Could he destroy a promising enterprise in just a few days? Ifthat’s the case, Jonathan must be really powerful. But if not, then… could it really be just acoincidence?”

Rosalie continued to eat her pasta and think. Suddenly, she felt something grabbing her calf. Shelowered her head and saw a little boy, who was about three years old, in shabby clothes. Yet, the boywas a beautiful child with fine features, soft skin, and chubby cheeks. Rosalie felt like pinching him.

At this moment, the little boy was staring at her intently with his round, dark eyes.

Rosalie looked at the little boy curiously and then scanned her surroundings. As it was lunchtime, therewere many other customers nearby. For one moment, she did not know where the child came from.

She picked up the child and realized that he was always staring at her pasta.

“What? Do you want to eat some pasta?” she asked.

However, the little boy was unresponsive and ignored her. His gaze was still fixed on the plate of pasta.

Rosalie wondered, “Does this child like to eat pasta? I don’t mind ordering another plate for him, but Ihave to find his family first.”

Just as she was about to ask around, a woman in her thirties who was dressed plainly rushed toRosalie and said apologetically, “Sorry, my son has disturbed you. I didn’t keep an eye on him. Sorry,sorry…”

The woman apologized over and over again.

Rosalie recognized the woman. When she ordered her pasta earlier, the woman was handling the cashregister.

Previously, she overheard a waiter addressing the woman as “Ms. Haab,” but she did not expect thatshe was the mother of this little boy.
