Chapter 476
“Holy cow! You’re injured. Why didn’t you tell me?” Lillian arrived at Rosalie’s rental home. She originally wanted to check on Rosalie, but as soon as she came in, she saw the redness and swelling on Rosalie’s cheeks, which surprised her immediately.
“Actually, it just looks a little bit serious, but it doesn’t hurt anymore,” Rosalie replied while feeling too embarrassed to tell Lillian that the injury actually looked more horrible the last couple of days.
“What in the world happened? Why is your face hurt? Who hit you?” Lillian asked.
Rosalie briefly explained the kidnapping. Even if she deliberately understated it, Lillian was still scared after listening to the story.
Upon hearing it till the end, Lillian suddenly said, “Wait a minute. Did you say that the highway was blocked by police? Could it be… The police officers were blocking your car on the highway that day?”
Rosalie felt confused and surprised. “What’s so surprising about it?”
Lillian took out her phone and immediately searched. She then handed the phone to Rosalie.
Rosalie only saw some photos of the highway back then, posted by someone on the Internet.
However, these photos were taken from a long distance, so only rows of police officers and police cars could be seen vaguely. All the police officers were fully armed, and all their guns were aimed at the car which was approaching them.
The scene could be said to be extremely severe,
If one did not know about the situation, one would think that someone was shooting a cop blockbuster.
Due to the long distance, the photos looked blurry, and the faces of the people in the images could not be seen clearly.
The comments below the post were even more interesting. Many people were speculating about the reason for the dispatching of the police.
Some people were also guessing that there were criminals who needed to be arrested, while some speculated that the police were performing drills. Others even thought that the police officers were blocking terrorist operations.
Anyway, no one could guess what the actual situation was.
Lillian was originally just watching the fun, but she did not expect that it had something to do with Rosalie.
“Did Jonathan save you at that time?” Lillian asked.
“Yeah.” Rosalie nodded.
“He seems to quite care about you,” Lillian murmured. “Back then, did you two really break up without any
reasons?”

“It’s just that he was tired of the relationship. Just like at first, he found it interesting to have some interaction with me. Then, we played make-believe family, and then it became a love game! Now it’s just reverting to the previous game again,” Rosalie said with a bitter smile.
Lillian was taken aback. “What do you mean?”
“Right now, he and I have been entangled once again because of some issues. He called me Rosie, as he did back when he was staying in the rental room,” Rosalie answered.
Lillian said, “What the heck? Didn’t he break up with you? Why..
“I don’t understand it either,” Rosalie replied.
“Then, you…” Lillian looked at her friend worriedly, thinking whether Rosalie could still heal from her emotional wounds if she kept doing this with Jonathan.
If it were for Lillian herself, she would not be able to heal if a man who abandoned her constantly hovered around her.
“Alright, let’s stop talking about me. How things are going on with you and Callum?” Rosalie changed to a lighter topic.
“Both of us are quite fine,” Lillian replied, thinking that their feelings were getting stronger, but ever since the incident when she went to the underground bar last time, Callum always showed a cold face to her these few days.
If Lillian praised a male celebrity, Callum would act snappishly towards her. In the end, she had to comfort Callum in a soft
tone.
If she did not do so, Callum would report to her parents and tell them about her going to the underground bar.
Therefore, she had to lower herself during this period.
Of course, other than the easiness to get jealous, Callum’s other aspects were good. For example, when Lillian watched TV, Callum would automatically hand her snacks. When Lillian’s body felt sore, Callum would give her a massage. When Lillian
wanted a celebrity’s autograph, Callum would help her get one. Of course, he would only agree to get female celebrities’ autographs.
Looking at the unconscious sweetness shown on Lillian’s face, Rosalie really hoped that her friend’s relationship with Callum could go
well.
It was just that when Rosalie thought about Callum’s birth and the White family, she still felt concerned.
The relationship between the White family members was complicated. As an illegitimate child, Callum became the head of the White family. Rosalie could not imagine the dangers Callum would face behind his back. Moreover, the eldest wife of the White family and her two sons were still around, so Rosalie thought they would not really be willing to hand over the whole White Maple Group to Callum.
Rosalie also wondered if they had tricks on their sleeves. After all, it often ended up as a fight to the death in the competition for property for prominent families.
Rosalie only hoped that Lillian could be happier than her.
Lillian deserved to have the best love.
After chatting with Rosalie for a while, Lillian finally left Rosalie’s rental home when it was getting late.
The night in Strico was not as sultry as the daytime in September. The cool breeze brushed her face, making Lillian feel comfortable.
However, Lillian felt a sense of indescribable dullness at the thought that Rosalie and Jonathan were still to be entangled again.
However, she could not do anything for Rosalie and could only watch her friend get trapped in the situation.
Lillian drove to Callum’s mansion in Strico instead of going home.
During this period, Callum spent most of his time staying in Strico.
When Lillian arrived at the mansion, the housekeepers hurriedly opened the door. Upon seeing Lillian, Callum was stunned. “It’s already late. Why are you…”
Before Callum could finish his words, Lillian immediately rushed forward and abruptly hugged his waist, burying her face in Callum’s arms deeply.
Callum was stunned by Lillian’s sudden hug. Lillian had never taken the initiative to hug Callum like this, as she was always trembling with fear whenever she met him.
“Did
you
drink?” Callum asked. After all, every time Lillian got drunk, she would take the initiative to touch Callum.
“No,” Lillian replied as she continued to rub her head in his embrace, thinking that her man smelled good.
“Well then, what triggered you? Which celebrity made you disillusioned?” Callum thought of a second reason.
“Nope,” Lillian continued rubbing, and her hand slowly touched the area below Callum’s waist.
Callum felt speechless. “Lillian!”
“I have a reason to come here!” Lillian quickly withdrew her hand and raised her head from the embrace, with her round eyes looking at him. “I came to you just because I really want to see you.”
Suddenly, Callum only felt that he was almost lost in her eyes.
He had seen thousands of beautiful women, but Lillian was the only one who could touch his heart and easily captivate him. Finally, Callum collected his thoughts and looked at the wall clock beside him. “You want to see me at this late hour?” It was already past ten o’clock at night.
