Chapter 1025

“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.”

The look in Lillian’s eyes and her serene voice seemed to have slowly calmed Callum’s nervousness. “And you are

the only person I’m willing to marry too, Lillian!”

Soon, they entered the Quinn residence. Lillian had called her parents in advance and told them that Callum would

come over to have dinner with them in the evening. Therefore, Abigail had prepared a scrumptious spread for

them.

When Abigail saw Callum coming in loaded with bags, she politely asked him, “Gosh! You are just here for a meal!

Why did you get so much stuff just for this? Are these all for Lillian?”

“No, it’s for the both of you, Mr. and Mrs. Quinn,” said Callum as he gave the gifts to them respectively. Stephen

looked at the wine Callum had bought for him and said smilingly, “This is quite an expensive wine. As it happens,

let’s both drink to our heart’s content today!”

Lillian was embarrassed to tell Stephen that this bottle of wine cost tens of thousands of dollars, which could offset

his one-year salary.

Abigail looked at the jewelry Callum gave her and exclaimed, “T-This is too expensive, Callum. How much did it cost

you? I’m sure this set you back by at least tens of thousands of dollars!”

When Lillian heard Abigail, she didn’t know whether it was a good idea to tell her that the jewelry cost nearly 4

million dollars, not mere tens of thousands of dollars!

“But if I really let Mom know about this, I’m afraid she will rush to the bank overnight to lock the jewelry in a safety

deposit box,” thought Lillian.

Callum said, “It’s not that expensive. As it is, you can wear this jewelry during Lillian and my wedding ceremony in

the near future, Mrs. Quinn.”

“Wedding?” echoed Abigail in a daze. Stephen, who had just uncorked the wine bottle and was pouring wine into the

glass in front of him, also looked at Callum dumbfounded. He had completely forgotten about the wine he had been

pouring just now.

Stephen only came to his senses and hurriedly stopped pouring the wine when Lillian called out anxiously, “Dad, the

glass is full! The wine is spilling out!”

Stephen and Abigail turned toward Callum in unison and stared at him intently before they simultaneously asked,

“Are you guys planning to get married?”

“That’s right, Mr. and Mrs. Quinn,” replied Callum affirmatively. “But Lillian is already a few months along and

wouldn’t be able to bear the stress of a wedding. So, I plan to get a marriage certificate with her first. We will hold

the wedding ceremony after the baby is born. Will it be fine, with both of you, if we do it this way?”

“Of course! We are fine with it!” said Stephen and Abigail smilingly. Lillian’s marriage had always been one of their

biggest worries.

Originally, Stephen and Abigail had been discussing how they could subtly bring up marriage talks. But, things had

turned out even better than what they expected as Callum had brought up the matter himself first.

“Now that we have gotten that out of the way, as the bride’s family, do you both have any fequest of me? As long

as it is within my power, I will try to fulfill it,” said Callum.

“The only thing we would like to ask from you is for you to take good care of Lillian. We do not wish for anything

else,” said Stephen and Abigail.

Callum nodded slightly and said, “All right, then. I will handle everything.”

The atmosphere was harmonious as they had their dinner. When they were done with their meal, Callum took the

initiative to carry the dirty dishes into the kitchen to be washed.

Abigail looked at her future son-in-law with approval as she thought, “How many people in a position like him would

actually lower themselves to wash dishes like this?”

“Lillian, your father and I are really glad you have found a good husband for yourself. Now he and I can rest

assured,” said Abigail to her daughter.
