The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 976

Lillian rushed to Callum and said through a clogged nose, “I knew that you agreed to Madeline’s request and broke up with me back then because you wanted to save me. Five years later, you once again protected me from Madeline. Moreover, at that time, you had a curse on your body. Because of the curse, you felt immense pain whenever you touched me. To rid yourself of the curse, you allowed Madeline into your mansion…”

However, Callum remained indifferent, his expression unchanged, as he listened. It appeared that her distress, her tears, and her remorse held no significance for him.

“Is that so? So you are aware.” At last, her heartfelt confession received only a brief response from him. Lillian bit her lips. “Back then, I went to your mansion to find you. I wanted to say that we should give it another try. But when I saw Madeline leaving your mansion, I thought you and her… I misunderstood. I didn’t know it was due to curse.”

“Yes, you misunderstood,” Callum murmured. “You’re so quick to misunderstand me. It implies that you don’t trust me at all, doesn’t it?”

Lillian choked.

Callum’s expression became even more scathing. “How can you claim you love me if it’s like this?”

After a pause, Callum continued. “So you knew that you had misunderstood me, yet you’ve come to see me again? But, Lillian, you must understand that I won’t remain the same and love you as naively as I did before just because you’ve returned. My love for you had entirely vanished from the moment you thought of terminating your pregnancy at the hospital.”

Lillian burst into tears. “I… I didn’t terminate the pregnancy. Callum. I didn’t… Our baby is still inside me… I’ve been eating well and resting, all for the sake of our baby… so our child can grow healthily…” She pulled his hand and put it on her abdomen as she spoke.

At four months into her pregnancy, her lower abdomen didn’t show a noticeable bulge. Only a slight swell could be felt when a hand was pressed against it.

Callum’s hand gently touched Lillian’s stomach, and moments ticked by. When her tears trickled down her cheeks and fell onto his wrist, he abruptly withdrew his hand as if it had been scorched.
