Chapter 1000

Immediately after, the post became a trending topic after more and more netizens paid attention to it. Lillian

looked at the post in shock. Although it did not state the name of the blind date and the rich man, she and Callum

had already been exposed completely.

Moreover, the post was so popular now, yet Jerick did not step out to deny the guessing of the netizens. It looked as

if he tacitly acknowledged what people had discovered.

Lillian could not help but think of the strange phone call from Jerick today. She thought, “Did he apologize for this

matter? But… the baby in my belly has nothing to do with him at all, so why did he say that?”

Subconsciously, Lillian looked up and saw Callum was also looking at the trending topic with his phone beside her.

His handsome face was filled with gloominess at this moment.

Lillian suddenly felt like her heart seemed to skip a beat.

“Callum, ugh… The baby in my belly is truly not Jerick’s. I swear, there is nothing between me and him…” Lillian

hurriedly wanted to explain.

Callum raised his head and said to the secretary, “Get out. And take note of this. No matter who wants to get an

interview again, directly reject them. Moreover, let the people in the company know what should be said and what

not to!”

“Understood!” the secretary responded and rushed out of the office.

The spacey office once again turned silent again.

It was so quiet that Lillian could clearly sense her own breath and heartbeat.

She thought, “Callum couldn’t have misunderstood, right? Does he think there’s something happened between me

and Jerick? Thinking that I’ve deceived him?”

Lillian did not know why Jerick, who had helped her many times in the past, would do something like this. She was

genuinely afraid that Callum might misunderstand.

She didn’t want there to be any more waves between them due to misunderstandings or even to separate again.

Lillian’s lips trembled. She knew she should give an explanation, but her voice seemed to be stuck in her throat at

this moment, and she could not even mutter a word.

Callum looked up and saw Lillian’s pale face with big beads of sweat on her forehead. When he raised his hand to

wipe off the sweat on her forehead, Lillian’s body began to tremble slightly in an unexpected way. Callum was taken

aback. “What’s the matter?”

“I… I…” Lillian moved her lips, but there was an obvious sense of fear shown on her face.

“Did I scare you with my behavior just now?” Callum seemed to realize and toned down the hostility shown in him.

He stood up and said, “I’ll arrange for someone to avoid those reporters and send you back in a while. As for this

matter, I’ll…”

However, before the man could take a few steps forward, Lillian abruptly grabbed the man’s hand. “I was not afraid

of your behavior just now. I was afraid that you would misunderstand!”

She finished the words in a hurry and then gasped for air. It was true that she was most afraid of having a

misunderstanding happening between them again.

Her hand trembled slightly, holding Callum’s hand tightly. She seemed to be scared that once she loosened her

hand, their relationship would return to the previous state where they misunderstood each other.

Callum’s gaze moved from Lillian’s trembling hand to her pale cheek. There was a layer of tears formed in her

round eyes, which made his heart ache for a moment.

“I won’t misunderstand anything. I know that the baby in your belly is surely mine, and you and Jerick won’t have a

romantic relationship,” Callum said as he bent down and gently stroked Lillian’s face.

“You… you really won’t misunderstand?” Lillian asked with puzzlement.

“I won’t,” the man replied. “Because the person you love has always been me, right?”

Upon hearing it, Lillian abruptly wrapped her arms around Callum’s neck and burst into tears while lying on his

shoulder. “I… I only love you… Callum, I… You’re the only one I have always loved. I’ve never been

intimate with anyone else. I would never do that…”

She cried like a child.

Callum comforted her gently, “Alright, alright. I know it. I know it all along. You don’t have to worry about this

matter. I will handle it well, and I won’t let you suffer from this injustice, so don’t cry anymore. Didn’t the doctor say

that the most important thing for you now is to keep a pleasant mood? It’s for the good of the baby in your belly.”

Hearing the man mention the baby in her stomach, Lillian hurriedly said, “Okay, okay. I won’t cry anymore… I’ll stop

crying…” Yet, her shoulder still could not help shaking.

After a long time, Lillian finally stopped crying. However, perhaps due to her pregnancy, she fell asleep shortly

after.

Callum looked at the sleeping beauty with a trace of pity flashing across his eyes.

He carefully placed Lillian on the couch and covered her with a thin blanket cautiously.

It was not until Callum settled the matter that his expression finally relaxed. This incident, seemingly just a post

from Jerick, was far from accidental to make it to the top trending list; someone had deliberately orchestrated it.

Callum wondered, “But who’s the mastermind ordering Jerick to do such a thing? Who on earth wanted Lillian to

bear such disgrace?”
