The Ceo’s Convict Wife

“Make up for it? Is there more where this came from? How many things does he plan to buy and gift me for the marriage proposal?” wondered Lillian as she broke out in a cold sweat.

When the car arrived downstairs of the Quinn residence, Lillian unfastened her seat belt and was about to get off when she saw Callum still sitting in his seat as if in a daze.

“What’s the matter? Are you not getting out?” asked Lillian.

Callum suddenly came to his senses and looked at her. Then he took a deep breath and said, “I’m getting

out now,”

However, when Callum followed Lillian upstairs while he carried all the stuff he had bought, Lillian kept stealing glances at him. Suddenly, she asked, “Are you all right? Do you feel hot? Your forehead is covered in sweat.”

As she said that, she took a tissue and stood on tiptoe to help him wipe away his sweat.

“I’m nervous,” replied Callum.

“You are nervous?” A trace of surprise flashed in Lillian’s eyes as she said that. “What are you nervous about? Haven’t you been constantly meeting my parents these days? Besides, if you tell them about us getting a marriage certificate, they won’t raise any objections!”

Callum mused, ‘But even so, I’m still nervous! I can’t believe I’m behaving like this. I have always prided myself on being a composed person. I have always been able to deal with anything calmly, no matter how complicated matters get.

But just thinking about the fact that I’m meeting Lillian’s parents in a moment to ask for their daughter’s hand in marriage, I can’t help but get nervous. I’m worried I might say something wrong in front of them.

I know I’m feeling this way because I love her.’ The deeper one loved someone, the more nervous they would become and the more afraid they would be of any possibility of losing the person they loved. “I’m only worried that your parents will still be a little dissatisfied with me and don’t have such great opinions of me as a son-in-law,” mumbled Callum.

Lillian couldn’t help smiling. “What nonsense! I can tell you for sure that they hold you in great esteem in their hearts. Besides, I am pregnant with your child. Who else can I marry if not you? If it ever comes down to it, and they are against you, I will still marry you.”

Lillian fixed her gaze on Callum, and determination flashed through her oval-shaped eyes as she said in a clear and firm voice, are the only person I’m willing to get married to in this lifetime, Callum.”
