Chapter 289
Suddenly, Lillian shuddered and wondered, “Did I have a drink?”
While rubbing her head, Lillian opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling of her room. The memory of last night gradually came back to her.
She remembered that she had drunk a lot during her night snack with Callum yesterday. And then she seemed to be drunk. After that…
The relevant memories continued to drift into Lillian’s mind. She remembered getting into Callum’s car and then fondling
him!
After that… Lillian vaguely remembered that she seemed to have said something else, but she couldn’t recall it!
In the end, Lillian had to give up.
She could only pray that those words were not her scolding of Callum. Otherwise, Callum might think of a way to revenge on her.
Lillian got up and changed her clothes. As soon as she walked out of her room, she bumped into her parents.
“As a girl, why did you drink last night? If you weren’t with Callum last night and he brought you home, what should you do in case you met a bad guy during a drunk state?” Abigail couldn’t help but start criticizing at the sight of Lillian.
“Callum told you to drink less, but you took more. As a girl, it’s improper for you to drink so much!” Stephen also joined in.
Lillian could only nod. She showed a humble appearance of admitting mistakes, but she complained inwardly, “It is ‘Callum’ who asked me to drink yesterday!”
Unfortunately, Lillian’s parents were now very fond of Callum and trusted him completely. Every time Callum came to her home, her parents were so enthusiastic.
Lillian couldn’t imagine that her parents would take a big hit if she broke up with Callum later.
Lillian finally escaped to the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair was messy and her skin was fair, but her facial features were ordinary, a delicate and not very beautiful type.
She had never been in love since childhood. Although it was a little inexplicable to date Callum, it was… her first time.
If she really fell in love again in the future, she was afraid that she wouldn’t meet a handsome man like Callum. If her romantic relationship with Callum was real, not fake…
Then, Lillian couldn’t help laughing and scolded herself for what was on her mind. She and Callum were destined to break up!
They weren’t in a romantic relationship because they liked each other from the start!
After a sign, Lillian bowed to brush her teeth and wash her face. This romantic relationship was just an “atonement” for
her.
But at that moment, Lillian didn’t know that Callum gently stroked her drunken and sleepy face in the car last night and murmured in the softest voice, “Lillian, then you’ll treat me with heart and must like me very much.”
That was his joyous expectation!
“What? Won’t Calvin see me?” Loretta’s voice was sharp.
“Yeah. Mr. Gunner said that he didn’t want to see you today. Please go back, Ms. Leighton,” Abel Rice, Calvin’s secretary, responded.
Loretta gritted her teeth. It wasn’t the first time she couldn’t meet Calvin. During this period, she had tried every means to meet Calvin, but he refused it.
From his private villa to his company…
In the entertainment circle, a slight anomaly would be exaggerated.
These days Loretta hadn’t appeared in public with Calvin. There were rumors in the crew speculating whether she had been dumped.
Therefore, Loretta urgently needed to appear in public with Calvin so as to dispel those rumors.
But now she couldn’t even meet Calvin.
“Mr. Rice, can you speak for me? I really need to see him for something.” Loretta humbled herself.
“No, Mr. Gunner said he didn’t want to see you. That’s it.” Abel refused flatly.
Loretta even saw a mockery flashing in his eyes, as well as a kind of pity mixed with arrogance.
“Is Abel sure that I will be dumped by Calvin and back to my original status?” Loretta thought to herself, but she knew if she continued to stay here, she would bring disgrace upon herself.
Loretta had no choice but to leave. Then she found a space near the parking lot of the building and parked her car, intending to wait for Calvin there.
She asked the crew for a day off to see Calvin.
Loretta didn’t expect that Calvin’s car would show up in a short time, so she drove quickly to follow behind it.
To Loretta’s surprise, Calvin drove for more than 20 minutes without the slightest intention of stopping. And his direction was towards the highway entrance.
She wondered where was he going.
Loretta was confused. She had been driving for more than an hour and finally stopped near a hill.
To avoid Calvin’s discovery, Loretta had to park her car as far away as possible.
Now she found out this was the town of Rosalie’s grandmother. When she was a child, she used to follow her father here twice.
“Was Calvin here for…” A bad feeling suddenly flashed in Loretta’s mind.
At that moment, she only saw Calvin standing still by the hill from a distance.
She wondered, “This mountain… what was so special about it?” Loretta tiptoed closer, but her footsteps stopped abruptly and her whole body became stiff. It was because she recognized that the hill seemed to be the one in the painting she had seen before in Calvin’s studio.
A little girl carried a boy on her back and struggled down the hill, looking as if the two children were relying on each other for survival in the world…
Now, Calvin was standing by the hill, was he missing… Rosalie? Loretta clenched her fists, and her well-maintained nails kept tingling in her palm! Her face with exquisite makeup began to distort.
Rosalie was helping clean up Amelia’s diner together. Recently, Amelia had to take care of Aiden alone because Matilda was hospitalized, so Rosalie would help clean the diner before it was closed.
Rosalie’s off-duty time would be slightly later than usual.
When she walked out of the diner a few steps away, she stopped abruptly and looked surprisedly at the figure before her.
