Chapter 977
Callum’s body suddenlý trembled, and he parted his lips subconsciously. Her tears, carrying a faint salty taste, filled
his mouth instantly.
At this moment, Lillian’s tongue reached into Callum’s mouth and kept deepening the kiss.
He was caught off guard. Her deep kiss seemed to have crumbled all the defenses he had made before. And all his
senses were drawn by her.
He could not help but slowly close his eyes. Now, even as she kissed him and held him close, there was no longer
any pain caused by the curse.
It was as if they had returned to the beginning when there had been nothing but sweetness between them. There
was no pain or betrayal, only the love they had shared. She had been his life, and he had been her love.
After the kiss ended, Callum heard Lillian’s panting voice saying, “Callum, you still have feelings for me, right? You
are still in love with me, right?”
Callum suddenly snapped out of his reverie. He opened his eyes and grasped her arms, tugging them away from
his neck.

mean I have feelings for them, too,” Callum retorted, attempting to control his racing heart.
Only he knew the falsehood in his words at that moment.
Perhaps he would have lost control completely if she had kissed him a bit longer. The desire he harbored for her
could still be easily reignited by her actions.
Lillian’s face turned pale. She clutched the hem of her loose-fitting clothing tightly with both hands, biting her lip
hard. Her eyes, as wide as Bambi’s, brimmed with tears as she gazed at him, her expression a mix of despair and
helplessness.
Callum nearly expended all his strength to turn his head away. He said in a detached tone, “Well, I’m tired. I don’t
want to tangle with you any longer. Whatever happened in the past, be it a
misunderstanding or anything else, doesn’t matter to me anymore. Henceforth, please don’t appear before me
again.”
After saying that, he left in disarray. He went upstairs, leaving Lillian standing motionless in the living
room.
Lillian wiped her tears away vigorously and looked up at Callum’s retreating figure. She suddenly cried out, “Callum,
I won’t give up. You were the one who pursued me before, and now, I’ll pursue you! If you truly have no feelings for
me, you wouldn’t have allowed that kiss to last so long!”
Callum paused, but he did not look back or say anything.
It was not until his figure disappeared from her sight that Lillian lowered her head, looked at her abdomen, and said
gently, “Baby, let’s pursue your daddy together. Tell him not to leave us alone. I hurt him too much in the past. But
as long as your daddy still loves me the slightest, I won’t give up.” Unless one day she discovered that he had truly
ceased to feel anything for her, only then would she handle herself with grace and stop bothering him.
Perhaps, at that time, to graciously depart from his world would be her way of showing her love for him. Lillian
turned around and walked toward the door. At this moment, in the second-floor bedroom, Callum stood slumped
against the door, one hand pressed firmly against his racing heart.
“Stop beating… Stop beating so fast!” he told himself.
His heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out of his throat!
He could not understand why his emotions were easily influenced by her.
Callum gasped deeply, then closed his eyes and murmured to himself, “Even when she claims she loves. me now, it
might not be genuine. Perhaps what she truly desires is to provide the child with a legitimate identity.”

saw their daughter coming back, they hurriedly asked, “How was it? Callum…”
“He still doesn’t want to forgive me and accept me,” Lillian said. “But I won’t give up. I will go to him again
tomorrow.”
Stephen sighed while Abigail looked at his daughter with sympathy. “But if he refuses to accept you again and
again, then you…”
“Mom, don’t worry. If that’s the case, I won’t relentlessly pester him or do anything reckless and foolish,” she
comforted her mother. “If I genuinely give my all and Callum still doesn’t accept me, then… Then I’ll return to Strico
with you and be a single mother. I will only stay with you and the child for the rest of my life.”
“What are you talking about? Do you seriously intend to be a single mother forever? If the right partner comes
along, you can also get married. Many women marry with their children these days!” Abigail said. She did not want
her daughter to resign herself to such a fate.
Lillian offered a bitter smile. How could she ever love another man after having been loved by someone like
Callum?
She would never experience that same fervent and ardent passion again.
