The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

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.

“What? Do you assume that a kiss means I have feelings for you? By that logic, if I kiss other people, does that 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
