The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 257

From being harassed by a male colleague, being misunderstood, going to the police station due to fighting, to being released on bail, she explained everything clearly until she felt slightly thirsty.

Callum kept his eyebrows furrowed through her explanation. His handsome face was cold, which made people unable to see through what he was thinking at the moment.

After Lillian finished speaking, he said, “Why didn’t you call me when all this happened?”

“I-I’m afraid to bother you. You’re busy with your work, and my matter is just some trivial things,” Lillian answered subserviently.

Callum fixed his eyes on Lillian and kept staring at her until she felt a sense of uneasiness.

“Are you truly afraid of disturbing me?” he asked after a while.

She said with a guilty conscience, “It’s true!

He pursed his lips and kept silent. They began to stare at each other again. Lillian muttered inwardly, “I wondered when Callum is going to stop staring at me here. Shouldn’t he be happy that I didn’t call to disturb him when I faced some troubles? Why is his expression like that now? Like I owed him hundreds of thousands of dollars.”

“Let’s go,” he said after he took her hand abruptly.

“Huh?” She looked at him in a daze and asked, “Where are we going?”.

“Your house. Do you plan to stand here all night?” he replied.

She was stunned because she was afraid that Callum would tell her parents, and they would nag her, no matter whether it was her fault. She then said, “Don’t tell my parents about what happened today.”
