Chapter 256

Lillian was at a loss for words. She looked gloomy, as she wanted to hide the fact that she and Callumwere a couple as much as possible.

She did not want to have too much impact on her life after they broke up.

If her parents hadn’t accidentally known about Callum, she would not even want to tell them.

“Haha, I-I’m afraid it will disturb him at work.” Lillian could only make up an excuse.

“Aren’t you afraid to disturb Rosie?” Jonathan asked.

Lillian was stunned. Rosalie hurriedly replied, “I don’t mind.” Then, she said to Lillian, “If somethinghappens to you in the future, you must come to me. After all, you’re my most important friend.”novelbin

Lillian felt warm in her heart. While nodding, she glanced at Jonathan, who was sitting beside Rosalie,through the rearview mirror. From his tone a while ago, Lillian felt a sense of jealousy from him towardher.

She wondered, “Is Jonathan jealous of me? Because of Rosalie?” After a thought crossed her mind,Lillian could not help but shiver.

Lillian felt unbelievable that the powerful man in Strico, Jonathan, was jealous of her.

However, it seemed that it did happen, and he was jealous at the moment.

When the car arrived at the entrance of Lillian’s residential area, so did another vehicle. Lillian felt thatthe car was somewhat familiar. Then, she abruptly realized that it seemed to be Callum’s.

At that moment, Callum

Lillian

noticed Jonathan’s car. He got out of the car and walked over to Jonathan.

got out of the car and asked, “Why are you here?”

“I called you. Why didn’t you answer it?” he asked.

She took out her phone and looked at it, which had turned off automatically. Then, she said inembarrassment, “Uh… It’s dead.”

Callum glanced into the car and asked, “Why did they send you back?”

“Well… It’s a long story,” Lillian answered sullenly.

At that moment, the car glass window was slid down. Jonathan said to Callum in the car, “If you’reindeed her boyfriend, don’t let her be bullied.”

Callum was stunned, but Jonathan ordered the driver to drive off before the former could react.

In the car, Rosalie could not help but ask, “Did you say that on purpose?” After all, he was not a nosyperson. Under normal circumstances, he would not say the last sentence at all.

“Yes, I did,” Jonathan admitted frankly.

“But why?” She was confused.

“So that she won’t trouble you again. Since Callum is her boyfriend, he should be responsible for her asher boyfriend,” Jonathan answered.

Rosalie said, “I don’t mind at all. I just helped to bail her out. Besides, Lillian helped me so much backthen. So, I’m willing to help her every time she needs help.”

Jonathan thought, “That’s why I’m jealous, that Lillian is so important to her and has taken a place inher heart.”

Even though he knew it was just a friendship between women, he still could not suppress the jealousyin his heart.

“Rosie, how important is she to you?” he asked as he stared at her.

“Very important!” she answered without hesitation.

“Is she more important than me?” His voice was filled with jealousy.

She was stunned and said, “You guys are incomparable.”

Jonathan was the person she loved, and Lillian was her best friend. Those two feelings she had towardthem were unrelated. “But…” She thought for a while and added, “You and her are the people I canprotect with my life. So you guys are both important to me.”

Aglint flashed across his eyes. Rosalie thought that he would be satisfied with her explanation, sinceshe said she would protect him with her life.

Jonathan wondered, “However, why can’t I be the only one important to her?”

After all, he was too greedy. He wanted to be the unique one in her heart and did not want others to betoo important to her.

“Was it because she helped you back then?” he asked.

“Yes. I didn’t know that she could put so much effort into her friendship.” Rosalie sighed. Back then,although she had a good relationship with Lillian, she would never know a person’s character withoutgoing through difficulties.

Only after going through it could she see through some people clearly and understand that somepeople are worth devoting

“Without Lillian, I wouldn’t be here today. So, Lillian is truly important to me,” Rosalie said. She turnedto look at Jonathan and raised her hand to touch his cheek. “Could it be that you are jealous of her?”

“What if I say yes?” he asked.

Rosalie was stunned and inexplicably felt that Jonathan seemed to be a child. She thought, “Well, I’veheard people say no matter how mature and responsible a man is, he will have a childish side. Now, itseems to be true.”

“Then you can only bear with it a little,” Rosalie replied.

Jonathan took her hand and put it on his lips. He gently rubbed against her palm with his lips, whichmade her face blush.

“It seems that could be the only way,” he murmured, before he gently lowered his eyes.

Jonathan thought, “If there hadn’t been that car accident back then, maybe Lillian wouldn’t be soimportant to her. However, as she said, she wouldn’t have survived now if it weren’t for her.”

Therefore, in truth, he should be grateful to Lillian. At least, when Rosalie was in her hardest moment,Lillian helped her out

of it.

With her help, only then did he get to meet Rosalie.

“But your most important man can only be me,” he said after giving in.

It seemed that the person who gave in to her was always him.

Meanwhile, Lillian and Callum were still staring at each other in the residential area. He asked, “What’sgoing on with what Jonathan had said?”

Callum felt annoyed when he thought of only knowing about his girlfriend’s matter through otherpeople.

“It’s just a trivial matter.” Lillian smiled awkwardly.

Upon hearing that, Callum asked Lillian to choose as he said, “Do you take the initiative to tell me thestory, or do I investigate it myself? Choose one.”

Lillian’s expression turned gloomy in an instant. His words left her with no choice but to tell the truth.

After all, she was afraid he would dig out more information about her if he investigated it personally.

“Okay, okay. I’ll tell the truth.” Lillian gave up struggling and told Callum about the causes andconsequences of the whole

matter.
