Chapter 1020
Meanwhile, Lillian took Rosalie to the shopping mall for some baby supplies with some advice from the
latter.
Rosalie asked, “Didn’t Callum prepare this for you?” In her opinion, Callum looked like he would spare no effort to prepare everything Lillian would need.
“Yes, he did, but I want to buy something for the child. If not, it would seem like only the father bought everything, but the mother didn’t buy anything. Won’t I look like I’m invisible, then?”
Rosalie couldn’t help laughing. Looking at the happiness on her friend’s face, she was really happy for Lillian. It couldn’t get better than this when they, Lillian and Callum, reached a happy ending after going through so much.
Just as they arrived near the mall, Lillian pulled Rosalie to the other side.
“What? Aren’t you going to the mall?” Rosalie asked.
“I’m just taking a look. I heard that the sequel to “Old Friends” will be filmed here,” Lillian explained. “Old Friends” was an LGBTQ+ series broadcast on online platforms. Both male leads were newcomers, but the series had been well received at present. Lillian had strongly recommended the series to Rosalie, and the latter was now watching it every week.
However, Rosalie didn’t expect her friend to know the second season was filmed near the mall today.
“How do you know that?” she asked curiously.
Lillian was a little embarrassed and awkwardly said, “Well, you know I’m pregnant. So, Callum assigned a few people to wait on me. If I had anything I wanted done, they’d help me with it. Afterward, I know “Old Friends” is filming its second season. So I asked them to check the filming location for me. They were really efficient and even got their filming schedule for me.”
Rosalie was sweating profusely. “Did Callum know that you made his men do this?”
Lillian was embarrassed and said, “I think… he doesn’t know.” If Callum knew about it, she wouldn’t have gotten the schedule.
When they arrived nearby, there was indeed a film crew filming. However, it was obvious that there were not many fans who knew about the filming here. Therefore, not many people gathered around. Some staff members were clearing the area and asked passers-by to refrain from crowding around. When Lillian saw the two male leads exiting a coffee shop, her eyes lit up. “Hey, they’re really filming here!” she exclaimed. “Oh, I’m so lucky! I spotted the two male leads when I just arrived here,” she thought.
Rosalie followed Lillian’s gaze and saw the two male leads. Although they were newcomers, their acting skills were good. The first season was like a breath of fresh air, and the ambiguous tension between them was interesting.
“By the way, did he say anything when you watched this TV series?” Lillian was a little curious.
“I watched it while he was away during the day,” Rosalie answered. However, she thought, “It’ll feel a little weird if I watch something like this with Jon, after all.” Then, she asked Lillian, “What about you? Don’t tell me you watched it with Callum?”
“Haha…” Lillian laughed dryly before continuing, “Well, you know I’m keeping up with the latest episode. So, I want to know what happens right away. I couldn’t wait until morning to watch it.”
“Was Callum okay with it?”
“He didn’t say anything. He just looked a little serious. Anyway, I merely enjoy it and have no other thoughts,” Lillian muttered.
However, she couldn’t help but remember the scene with Callum when she was watching TV last night. Holding her chin, he pressed his lips against her earlobe and whispered, “Do you really like them so much? Will you be this focused on watching me if I act in this kind of series for you one day?”
Thinking of this, Lillian’s ‘face involuntarily blushed.
She imagined, “If he really acted in an LGBTQ+ series, then… My goodness! Well, just thinking about it, I

feel a nosebleed coming.”
“Why are you blushing?” Rosalie looked at the flush on Lillian’s face.
“No… Nothing.” Lillian quickly stopped blushing and said to her friend, “Let’s wait here for a while. When their filming ends, we’ll go upstairs and ask for an autograph or something. Maybe they would give it.” “Let’s hope so,” Rosalie replied. She reasoned inwardly, “Although ‘Old Friends’ is starting to become popular, such genres can only be regarded as niche, after all. Besides, the two actors are also newcomers. I think they won’t refuse fans’ requests for autographs or something. Also, Lillian is a pregnant woman.” “But I’m afraid they will take some time to finish filming. Are you going to wait here all the time? Won’t you get tired?” Rosalie asked worryingly.
“I won’t. It’s interesting to watch them act!” Lillian responded.
After watching them for a while, Lillian couldn’t help but exclaim in a low voice, “Wow, are they filming the breakup scene? Oh goodness. So, in the second season, they will break up!”
“Goodness gracious. If I watch this episode on TV, I’ll cry,” Lillian commented.
“Wow, there’s a crying scene. I really want to get closer!” Lillian murmured, then pulled Rosalie forward until they were stopped by the security guards of the film crew.
Several fans also wanted to get closer to the filming scene, but the security guards pushed them away harder.
“Watch out!” Rosalie hurriedly protected Lillian. She was afraid that Lillian would be bumped into and hurt her stomach. However, in a momentary misstep, Rosalie was pushed to the side. Seeing that she was about to fall, someone held Rosalie in time. And then, another person stepped forward to protect Lillian and separate her from those fans and the security guards.
Suddenly, Lillian and Rosalie were protected.
“Mrs. Youngblood, are you hurt?” Rosalie heard a bodyguard say.
She looked at the bodyguards of the Youngblood family in front of her. It was not surprising that bodyguards were protecting her covertly. After all, she had experienced so many dangers in the past, so Jonathan had always assigned someone to protect her in the dark.
However, she looked at the people who were protecting Lillian. They were unfamiliar faces.
“Who are―”
“They’re the White family’s bodyguards. In order to protect Ms. Quinn, Mr. White had also ordered the bodyguards of the White family to protect her secretly,” a bodyguard beside Rosalie replied.
“How do you know that? Do you know them?” Rosalie curiously asked.
“Recently… Because of the protection work, we would often bump into each other and occasionally chat. So I know the general situation,” the bodyguard replied.
After all, Rosalie would meet Lillian once or twice a week, so the bodyguards from both sides often met and sometimes chatted.
After hearing this, Lillian looked at the bodyguards in front of her in surprise. “All of you are… sent by Callum?”
