Chapter 509
Although Lillian wanted to be addressed more intimately, she remembered that Aiden called Rosalie by her full name, so she was embarrassed to make that request of him.
Aiden looked at Lillian with wide eyes before turning to his mother. Although he was still young, he could more or less. understand that it was thanks to the help of this unknown couple that he could attend kindergarten.
“Thank you, Lillian.” Aiden’s voice was juvenile, but his speech was clear. If it weren’t for the hearing aid on his ear, wouldn’t have believed that he was deaf.
Lillian
“Hehe, not at all! You’re welcome!” Lillian said smilingly and then pointed to her cheek, hinting for the boy to kiss her.
Aiden blushed slightly. But since he held no dislike for the smiling woman before him, he wrapped his hands around Lillian’s neck and kissed her on the cheek.
That kiss was like one from a little angel. Elated, Lillian couldn’t help but pick him up and kiss him on the cheek several times.
At once, Aiden’s face flushed bright red.
At the sight of his girlfriend with stars in her eyes and her overly enthusiastic manner, Callum went green with envy. He still remembered that she once said that she would definitely pursue Aiden if she were twenty years younger.
Although he knew that it was ridiculous to be jealous of a child, he couldn’t help but want to break things up.
Thus, while Lillian was happily cuddling the little boy, Callum snatched Aiden away from her arms.
“Okay, I think everyone must be hungry. Let’s find a place to eat first,” Callum declared.
Lillian was seemingly dissatisfied that the man suddenly took Aiden away from her. But following Callum’s glare shot at her, she backed down.
-Callum found a restaurant and booked a private room. After ordering the food, he gave Amelia the contact information of
the director of the kindergarten. “Bring Aiden over to report in tomorrow and go through the formalities. I have already informed them in advance. They also know of Aiden’s special circumstances and have agreed to accept him.”
“Thank you. Truly, thank you very much.” Amelia thanked him once more. The issue of finding her son a kindergarten had been a heavy boulder weighing on her for the past few days. At that moment, it had finally been resolved.
During the meal, as Lillian chattered, the talk turned to gossip. “By the way, Rosalie, that cousin of yours has been appearing by Calvin’s side these days and was misunderstood as his girlfriend by many. Yesterday, Calvin personally admitted in an interview that they weren’t in a relationship, and there’s someone else he loves.”
Stunned, Rosalie looked at Lillian in surprise.
Lillian continued, “It was Kai’s Talk Show. This program is quite popular. Most of those who usually join this talk show are A-list celebrities or popular artists. Calvin has never participated in such an interview program, but yesterday, he suddenly went over and dropped such explosive news. The Internet is abuzz with speculation about the person he loves!”
When it came to such gossip, Lillian was undoubtedly an expert.
Rosalie went silent. She wondered inwardly, “Calvin… really said such a thing in the talk show?”
Meanwhile, Amelia swung her gaze at Rosalie in shock. Deep within, she suspected that the person Calvin claimed to love was likely the latter. She mused, “After all, Calvin came to my diner multiple times to look for Rosalie back then. Furthermore, he promised not to tell Warren about me being in Strico at that time because of her.”
Fortunately, Lillian soon changed the subject and didn’t talk too long about Calvin.
After the meal had ended, Callum drove Rosalie back to her rental home before sending Amelia and Aiden back.
When Aiden got out of the car, Lillian kissed him again. Then, she waved goodbye to him and promised to give him a gift when he officially attended kindergarten.
Seeing Lillian reluctantly bidding Aiden farewell, Callum floored the gas pedal and sped off.
“Hey, I wasn’t finished speaking!” Lillian muttered in dissatisfaction.
Ididn’t know that you like children so much,” Callum said in a glum voice. He thought, “On my count, she has kissed that kid seven or eight times today. She doesn’t even kiss me as much
“I’m a loving person!” Lillian countered loudly, making Callum feel like rolling his eyes.
Lillian continued with a shrug, “Actually, don’t you find him pitiful? I heard from Rosalie that he was born in prison and deaf at birth. It really hasn’t been easy for Amelia to have raised him so well.”
Thinking of that, Lillian couldn’t help but admire Amelia.
She mused, “If it were me, I probably wouldn’t be able to do that.”
“Prison?” Callum was stunned for a moment.
“Aiden’s father is Warren,” Lillian revealed. She only found out about it when she went to Rosalie’s rental home and accidentally saw a copy of Amelia’s case trial..
Callum was taken aback. “Warren? Warren York of the York family in Sloummont?”
“Yeah.” Curling her lips, Lillian said sarcastically, “It’s unbelievable, huh? Warren is so rich, but his child not only was born in prison but is also having such difficulty getting into an ordinary kindergarten now.”
That was why Lillian couldn’t help but feel sorry for Aiden and Amelia.
They had really suffered too much.
Callum pursed his lips slightly. “There is always a reason for everything.” He didn’t want to comment too much about other people’s affairs. Moreover, he didn’t know the kind of entanglement between Warren and Amelia.
“To put it bluntly, he’s a scoundrel! He’d rather believe a pretentious woman and put his ex-girlfriend in prison mercilessly. Now, I heard that he’s even planning to fight for custody. He’s such a jerk!” Lillian cursed angrily.
Lillian was so livid that she was swearing. If Warren were there, he would probably be hauled over the coals.
“All right, don’t dwell on other people’s affairs,” Callum said. The car had arrived at the gate of Lillian’s residential area.
Lillian unfastened her seat belt but didn’t alight from the car immediately. Instead, she turned to look at Callum and said, “Let’s not have any misunderstandings in the future, okay? You must believe me at all times.”
