Chapter 900

“The paint on this car is made of special materials. It’s a new type of paint that White Maple Group hasbeen developing in recent years. Its production is very low at the moment, so it’s very precious.Besides, with a scratch like that, the whole vehicle has to be repainted, so the compensation is, ofcourse, very high,” the driver answered fluently.

Lillian felt like she was being scammed. The special material was new and developed by White MapleGroup, so Callum could name the cost at any price!

“If you truly want to make it official, Ms. Quinn, you can call the police now,” the driver said.

The problem was that she couldn’t afford to pay so much money at all! Also, after she had given birth tothe baby in the future, she would only spend even more money. When that happened….

Suddenly, Lillian shivered. She lowered her head again, looking at her flat abdomen.

She just caught herself thinking of giving birth to the baby.

“Ms. Quinn, Ms. Quinn…” the driver’s voice was still ringing in Lillian’s ear.

“Ah!” Lillian came to her senses.

“If you want to settle it in private, Ms. Quinn, you can talk to Mr. White about it,” the driver said. Lillianlooked at the back seat of the car, where Callum was in. Then, she bit her lip and got out of the car witha sour look on her face. She walked up to Callum’s car and gently knocked on the glass window. Thewindow was lowered. Callum sat in the back seat, looking at Lillian with a half-smile on his face. “Ithought you didn’t want to see me anymore, but now it seems that you’re quite eager to see me. If not,you wouldn’t have stopped your car here in a daze, right?”

“I didn’t. I was just distracted, so…”

Halfway through her words, she suddenly paused because she saw his expression darkening.

Remembering that her car had even scratched his just now, Lillian swallowed the rest of her words.She said awkwardly, “Well… Let’s talk about the car first. Regarding the scratch, my insurance claim isonly 100 thousand dollars. Can you…”

“No,” he said right away.

She fell silent. She suddenly felt like she had failed. Not long ago, this man was just telling her howmuch he loved her and how he couldn’t forget about her. But now, he refused to even reduce thecompensation

amount.

“Do you think that I should do things your way just because I love you? Are you hoping to downplay thismatter?” Callum spoke as if he had seen through Lillian’s mind.

Lillian looked embarrassed. “Well, it’s not exactly downplaying. It’s just… Um, I just hope that you won’task for compensation that exceeds my insurance claim.”

“If you are looking to make it official and get the traffic police here, you’ll have to pay the exact amount.But if you want to settle it in private…”

Her eyes lit up, “What if I want to settle it in private?”

“Then get in the car, and let’s have a meal together. We can discuss it after the meal,” Callum said.

Lillian fell silent as she thought about having a meal with him. “What about my car?”

Callum said calmly, “Someone will park your car in the underground parking first. You won’t lose it. It’sup to you whether you want to get in the car or not.”

After struggling for a while, Lillian eventually found the car damage too intimidating. She opened thedoor and got in the car.

The car drove slowly. Lillian looked at Callum, who was sitting beside her. Today, as always, he wasdressed in a suit and leather shoes with his hair neatly combed. He looked like a perfect young man.

Remembering that she was pregnant with his baby, Lillian felt a little uneasy.

She wondered how he would react if he knew that she had his baby.

She thought, “No way. I can’t let him know that. Otherwise, the relationship between us will only get

more complicated.”

“What’s the matter? Why do you look so uneasy when you’re sitting next to me? Am I that scary?”Callum’s voice suddenly rang out in the car.

“I-I’m just worried about the car damage!” Lillian said guiltily.

“If it weren’t for the car damage, would you never get in my car again?” he asked.

She bit her lip. For a moment, she didn’t know how to answer him.

Callum didn’t look like he was waiting for her answer, either. He turned to look out the window.

The car pulled up at the entrance of a famous restaurant in Strico. When they were dating in the past,Callum had brought her here as well. She loved many of the dishes they served here.

But today, when Lillian looked at the food on the table in front of her, she somehow had no appetiteeven though Callum had ordered all her favorite dishes.

“Why aren’t you eating?” Callum looked at Lillian, saying, “Or do you feel that even having a meal withme is unbearable?”

Lillian smiled dryly. “You’re overthinking it. We just broke up, so it’s not like we’re mortal enemies. I… Idon’t think that it’s unbearable to have a meal with you.”

As she spoke, she took some shrimp and ate it.novelbin

But she had just taken a few bites when the familiar nausea welled up again. Lillian was glad that theprivate room Callum chose had a bathroom attached. So, she didn’t have to go out to vomit.

She ran into the bathroom, locked the door, and threw up in front of the sink.

“Urk… Ugh…” Lillian almost felt like her stomach was emptied. When there was nothing more to vomit,she rinsed her mouth and looked up at herself. She looked pale in the mirror.

When she read novels and watched films and TV series, she felt that morning sickness was quitecommon, and she never thought it was a big deal. But now that she was the one with morningsickness, she suddenly realized that vomiting was torture!

And she still didn’t know what to do with this child!

Lillian smoothened her clothes. When she walked out of the bathroom, she suddenly paused in hertracks. Her face was already pale from the vomiting, but it turned even paler now.

At that moment, Callum was sitting in the chair with an examination report in his hand.

That was her… pregnancy test report!

Shivering, Lillian rushed up to snatch the report from his hand. At that moment, her only wish was thathe wouldn’t be able to understand what the data meant.

But before she could touch the report, he had already raised his hand. Hence, her hand could only grabat air instead of the report.

Then, he turned around. There was a rare look of shock in his beautiful and deep eyes.

Over the years, he had become more and more reserved, so he was rarely shocked about things thesedays. But at that moment, the report in his hand had summoned raging waves in his heart.

“You’re… pregnant?” Callum murmured to Lillian.

“I… I don’t look pregnant, do I? Give me back my report,” Lillian said. There was only some dataregarding her blood in the report, but it didn’t state that she was pregnant. No matter what, she hadplanned to deny it until the very end.
