Chapter 917

“It’s only a week, Lillian. All I ask is to give me another week,” urged Callum.

Lillian was displeased. “What in the world do you want, Callum? You refuse to talk about the compensation for the car accident and then keep asking me to give you time. Are you going to ask me to give you a few more weeks in one week again?”

“Lillian, I…”

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Callum.

“What are you two doing together?”

Hearing that, Lillian instantly quivered, for that was her father Stephen’s voice.

Hurriedly, Lillian looked back and spotted her parents standing not far away, looking at the duo in astoundment. Her mother Abigail was even carrying a food basket with plenty of groceries inside. Unmistakably, Stephen and Abigail had just come back from grocery shopping.

“Lillian, you said you had something to do this morning. Was it just to go out with Callum?” Abigail questioned.

Lillian blinked, at a loss for how to explain herself there and then.

“What did you two do this early in the morning?”

Lillian was struck dumb, feeling an incoming headache. “How do I answer that? Am I supposed to tell them that Callum accompanied me to a prenatal checkup early in the morning?” she brooded. Right then, Abigail seemed to think of something, and her expression changed. Then, she approached Stephen’s ear and whispered something that caused his countenance to change as well.

“We’ll talk in the house! You’re coming with us, Callum!” stated Stephen.

Lillian was taken aback. “Dad, you want him to come to our place too?”

“If not? He’s already sent you to the door. Shouldn’t we ‘invite’ him into our house and have a seat?” Stephen gritted out, emphasizing the word “invite.”
