Chapter 166

When he had told her that he was an illegitimate child, she had smiled cheerfully and said, “So what? You’re the

only you in this world. How successful a person is doesn’t depend on whether they’re an illegitimate child.”

“Don’t you think my birth is disgraceful?”

What had she said then? She had declared earnestly, “I simply think your parents’ attitude towards marriage is

irresponsible. They should have gotten married if they already had a child. If people can’t get married, they should

keep a distance from each other from the beginning or take protective measures. Isn’t there a saying that dating

without the objective of marriage is the behavior of scoundrels?”

It was the first time someone had said that about his parents in front of him.

But did she realize that marriage couldn’t always be the end goal because some people had too many other goals

in sight and too many interests had to be exchanged in wedlock?

Marriage was nothing more than choosing a woman who could maximize his interests.

“So, if you were to date someone, is it to get married?” he had asked.

“Of course,” she had replied. “If I were to get married in the future, I would find a man who I love very much, and

he would also love me as much. We would love each other for a lifetime. Maybe after a long time, that love would

become a mere affection for family, but no matter what, we would never leave one another and stay together until

we’re old and wrinkly…”

She had described her future love and marriage to him.

And he, listening and listening, had felt a kind of yearning, like he was looking forward to having such a relationship

himself.

He had always thought that he didn’t care about his future marriage. If he got married, it must be because the

woman could bring him benefits, Or he’d simply never marry in his entire life.

But at that time, he had been moved by her words.

If it was her who he would marry in this life…. Then he was willing to do s so and even looked forward to the day

they would grow old together.

Back in the present moment, he said lowly, “Do you like me?”

“Mm, I do.” She nodded.

“Then let’s date. Fall in love with me. As long as you do, we’ll call your debt even,” he murmured.

Her eyes were filled with skepticism, and her drunkenness added to her confusion. “Girlfriend? Fall in love with

you?”

“Yes,” he said, letting go of her chin. But as he moved to remove her hands on his face, he felt a shred of

reluctance.

It was as if he couldn’t bear to part with the warmth of her palms..

Lillian stared at the face before her for a long while. Suddenly, a bright smile broke on her face, and she exclaimed,

“Okay!*

This one word caused his heart to tremble, pounding like a hammer in his chest.

Did she understand the true meaning of what she had just said in her current predicament?

He stared at her, but her eyelids gradually drooped, and her hands began to slide down slowly from his cheeks. She

wrapped her arms around his neck and mumbled. I’m a little sleepy. Last night… Well, I didn’t sleep much last night.

Fll just doze off a little… Wake me up when it’s time for dinner.”

These words struck him dumb. She didn’t forget to cat even at this point in time?

Not two seconds later, Lillian really fell asleep.

Callum pursed his thin lips and finally decided to pick up the person in front of him, walk into his bedroom, and

carefully place her on his bed.

He held one of her hands in his as he looked at her slumbering face.

He had really found her! She no longer lived exclusively in his head but had truly appeared before him again.

“You promised today. I won’t allow you to go back on your word.” His voice rang out quietly in the silent room.

But the only response he got was the sound of her breaths.

Rosalie had returned to the Youngblood residence after the interview. The interview today was remarkably simple.

The interviewer had just checked her health certificate and asked some basic questions.

But she had been asked why she, a top student in the Faculty of Law, wanted to be a delivery rider. Even though

she had prepared for it, she had still become nervous. She could only explain in the most rudimentary terms that

she had been jailed- for a traffic accident and had her lawyer’s license revoked.

After that, the interviewer didn’t ask anything else and simply asked her to go back and wait for their notice.

She knew that maybe the interview might have gone nowhere again.

But that problem was inevitable.

About a dozen companies were recruiting delivery riders in Strico, and Rosalie had already submitted her resume to

every one of them. She was uncertain if any company would hire her, but a bone-deep weariness had already set

in.

It was like… living was exhausting.

Perhaps the things that had happened after she was released from prison had drained her physically and mentally..

At dinner in the evening, Jonathan suddenly piped up, “Did you apply for a job as a delivery rider today, Rosie?”

Rosalie was taken aback and almost dropped the fork in her hand.

“What, are you surprised?” Jonathan smiled and said, “Today, I received a call from my boss saying she needed my

opinion since you had applied for a job with her.”

Rosalie remained mute. She remembered the interviewer had questioned her but hadn’t asked who the car

accident victim was. She thought that if she didn’t say anything, the interviewer wouldn’t notice.

Who would have thought that the interviewer would have gone to investigate the issue? The CEO had even made a

phone. call to Jonathan

It was as if reality had slapped her mercilessly.

“How should I give her my opinion?” Jonathan asked.

Rosalie pursed her lips, but she was sure of the answer. Would a boss make a special call about a rider under

normal. circumstances? The worst-case scenario was that she was not recruited.

The boss had deliberately made this call to claim her credit. She thought that Rosalie had killed Melanie, so

Jonathan probably hated her. Therefore, she had taken the initiative to reveal Rosalie’s whereabouts to establish a

relationship with the Youngblood family and please Jonathan.

Rosalie felt disgusted at her actions.

“Do you want me to say hello to her and have her hire you? Jonathan continued.

No. Rosalie was fast to decline.

Jonathan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, ‘I see you don’t like the company much, Coincidentally, I don’t either.

In that

case, why don’t we get rid of it?”
