The Ceo’s Convict Wife - Season 2 Episode 69

After Lillian returned home, she was still in a daze. She wondered, “Am I in a relationship with Callum now?” Lillian had thought about the many ways Callum would take revenge on her, but she did not expect that he would do such a thing.

Lillian lacked experience when it came to dating. So, she decided to follow Callum’s lead. If all else failed, she could just take notes from romance dramas.

However, Callum wanted her to fall in love with him.

Scratching her head helplessly, Lillian thought, “Does he want me to fall in love with him, and then dump me afterward?” At any rate, she could pretend to fall in love with him after a few months of dating. After that, she would pretend to be heartbroken after getting dumped by Callum. Perhaps that was how she could settle this issue.

Thinking of this, Lillian could not help but let out a loud sigh, saying inwardly. “Who would have thought that my first. relationship would start off like this?”

Still, it was much better than her original assumption that he would take revenge on her by destroying her family.

of a man, especially not leaving without any sort of explanation. As such, Lillian.

Therefore, one should not take advantag had gotten her comeuppance.

Lillian’s parents of the Quinn family were still querying their daughter for not coming home for dinner and her failure to inform them about it beforehand.

Lillian rolled her eyes and thought, “Mom, Dad, did you know that our family was nearly destroyed? I’m now selling myself to protect us!”

Abigail said. “It’s not good for you to have a poor perception of time. I’ve also made an appointment with Ms. Walker from our neighborhood. She’s arranged a blind date for you next week”

Lillian was appalled. She thought, “I’ve just gotten into a relationship with Callum, and now, Mom wants me to go on a blind date. It’s unbelievable.”

Moreover, Gertrude was known for being the neighborhood’s matchmaker, and she had even made several successful matches. Therefore, Abigail often mer Gertrude, hoping that the latter could introduce a good partner to Lillian.

Lillian asked, “Mom… why don’t you let me find a partner myself? I promise to find someone you like. Of course, she did not intend to tell her parents about her relationship with Callum.

After all, she knew that her relationship with Callum would only last for a short while. She would “break up” with Callurn

Therefore, there was no need to tell her parents about this sort of thing. Otherwise, she would only make her parents disappointed after getting their hopes up.

Abigail said impatiently, “You’ve said this many times. Do you know that you are almost 28 years old? If you don’t find partner now, you’ll be single and unwanted by 30.”

Lillian pursed her lips and said inwardly, “Nowadays, there are so many people who only start dating and getting married in their thirties. Being single and unwanted doesn’t mean I have to force myself into a relationship. If I do want to get married, I must find someone compatible.”

However, at the thought of this, Callum’s face appeared in her mind again.

Lillian thought, “Ew! What am I thinking about?” Then, she quickly shook her head, pushing that face away from her thoughts. Following that, Lillian said to her parents, “I’m tired’ Finally, she ran into her room.

As soon as she entered her room, she received a text message. It read: [I’m Callum. Please save my phone number for easy communication.]

Lillian glanced at the unknown number, sighed helplessly, and saved it on her phone obediently.

Now, she could only take things one step at a time.

Rosalie had begun looking for a job again. However, due to her criminal record, she often got rejected in the end.

After completing an interview with another company, Rosalie could not help but smile bitterly.

She had thought she was mentally prepared for everything. Some companies did not offer basic salaries for their riders. Rosalie was willing to take on the job, but she was still rejected by the companies.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Rosalie found a roadside diner and ordered a plate of pasta worth 2 dollars.

It was the cheapest pasta in the diner.

There was also an old TV in the diner. At this moment, the TV was showing a news report. It was a rerun of the previous day’s news, but Rosalie still listened to it casually. However, when she heard the name of a familiar company, she looked up

at once.

It was the first company she interviewed at when she was looking for a job as a rider. The CEO of that company had called Jonathan and told him about her interview.

Earlier, Jonathan had said that he wanted to delist the company.

Shockingly, the news report now said that the company’s current capital chain had ruptured, and its investment plan was canceled unexpectedly. Since the previous day, many people who participated in the company’s private fundraising had been gathering at the company’s entrance to demand a refund.

Judging by the footage taken by reporters, the scene was chaotic.

Rosalie was shocked.

She wondered, “Is Jonathan behind this? Could he destroy a promising enterprise in just a few days? If that’s the case, Jonathan must be really powerful. But if not, then… could it really be just a coincidence?”

Rosalie continued to eat her pasta and think. Suddenly, she felt something grabbing her calf. She lowered her head and saw a little boy, who was about three years old, in shabby clothes. Yet, the boy was a beautiful child with fine features, soft skin, and chubby cheeks. Rosalie felt like pinching him.

At this moment, the little boy was staring at her intently with his round, dark eyes.

Rosalie looked at the little boy curiously and then scanned her surroundings. As it was lunchtime, there were many other customers nearby. For one moment, she did not know where the child came from.

She picked up the child and realized that he was always staring at her pasta.

“What? Do you want to eat some pasta?” she asked.

However, the little boy was unresponsive and ignored her. His gaze was still fixed on the plate of pasta.

Rosalie wondered, “Does this child like to eat pasta? I don’t mind ordering another plate for him, but I have to find his family first.”

Just as she was about to ask around, a woman in her thirties who was dressed plainly rushed to Rosalie and said apologetically, “Sorry, my son has disturbed you. I didn’t keep an eye on him. Sorry, sorry…”

The woman apologized over and over again.

Rosalie recognized the woman. When she ordered her pasta earlier, the woman was handling the cash register.

Previously, she overheard a waiter addressing the woman as “Ms. Haab,” but she did not expect that she was the mother of this little boy.
