The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 1110

Suddenly, Callum stiffened up before raising his head slowly to look at her. “Why are you here?” he said in a dry voice, forcing a smile as he did

She was startled by the haggardness on his face. “You look awful! Your flight back must have been exhausting. Why don’t you come home and rest? You can deal with everything else after a good rest.”

Lillian approached Callum as she spoke. “When did you arrive? You should have given me a call as soon as you got off the plane.”

Callum did not answer. Instead, he threw his arms around her waist without warning and pressed his face against her belly.

Lillian was stunned. “What’s wrong? What happened?”

Her voice was so gentle that the weight on his heart became unbearable.

He could not bring himself to tell her that it was his mother who almost killed her and her unborn child, nor could he tell her that what he did to exact vengeance on her behalf was merely keeping his mother from stepping out of the castle for the rest of her life.

He did not send the perpetrators to be punished by the law, nor did he have them pay for their crimes.

“Would she blame me?” he wondered.

The guilt weighed so heavily on his heart that he could hardly breathe.

Lillian knew that something had happened from the way Callum remained silent.

Callum trembled slightly. “I didn’t forget,” he said quietly. “Just like how I didn’t forget that I once told you that I would protect you from any harm.”
