Chapter 906
“Why are there so many parcels?” Lillian couldn’t help asking.
“It’s all yours. It’s not easy for you to make some money, so why do you buy so many things at once?” Abigail grumbled. “Don’t you know how to save some money? How much did you spend on these things?” “Mine?” Lillian was stunned. There were at least 30 parcels.
Besides, she didn’t buy anything online recently!
Lillian casually opened a parcel and saw that it contained a bottle labeled “folic acid.” She shuddered and hurriedly grabbed the parcels. “Well, Mom, I’ll take these things back to my room first. Well, I’m not going to trouble you!”
With that, she hurriedly picked up the parcels in the living room and returned to her room. She closed the door behind her and started opening up the parcels.
The more parcels she opened, the more shocked Lillian became.
Among the parcels, there were not only food for pregnant women but also books about pregnancy. Other than that, some parcels contained baby supplies and skin care products for pregnant women to prevent stretch marks. There was also a set of pillows for pregnant women to sleep.
Lillian was only glad that she didn’t open the parcels in front of her parents, or she would be shelled!
The name and address of the recipient on the delivery box were all hers. She figured Callum was the only one who would send those things to her.
Lillian quickly picked up her phone and dialed Callum’s number.
Not long after, Callum’s gentle voice came from the phone. “Lillian?”
“Did you buy those parcels and send them to my house?” Lillian said.
“Yes. Have you received them?” Callum asked.
“Yes. There are more than 30 parcels,” Lillian said angrily.
“You only received more than 30?” Callum asked.
Lillian suddenly had a bad feeling. “Wait. How… How many packages have you sent to my house?”
“About a hundred. I think the things are useful for you,” he said.
She was rendered speechless and felt defeated. “Oh, my! Are you so rich that you don’t know where else to spend?”
“You are the only person who I’m willing to spend my money on,” Callum said.
Lillian’s breath hitched, and she said, “Hurry up and take these things back. You can take the rest when they arrive at my house. I don’t need them!”
“If you have all these things, I can take them back. But if you don’t have them, just leave them at your place,” he said.
“Callum, if I use these things that you give me, won’t my parents know I’m pregnant? Do you think they’re blind? How can I explain this matter to them, then?” Lillian grumbled in a low voice.
“Just explain it the way you should. Are you going to hide it from them for the rest of your life?” Callum asked.
“Why can’t I hide it from them for the rest of my life? If I…” At that point, she caught herself, bit her lip, and fell silent.
Callum didn’t say anything either.
For a moment, a suffocating silence lingered in the air.
After a while, Lillian heard Callum’s voice coming from the other end of the line. “Are you planning to abort the child?”
“I’m just saying it casually,” she said timidly. Inexplicably, she felt scared when Callum asked her that question.
It was as if it would be an evil thing to have an abortion.

“Anyway, send someone to take all these things back,” Lillian said.
“Are you so afraid that your parents will know about your pregnancy?” he asked.
“How could I not be afraid?” she said angrily. “I’m single and unmarried now. Do you think it is a glorious thing to be pregnant?”
Especially since her parents were quite conservative, if they really knew it, she would be severely punished.
“In that case, as long as we get married, your parents won’t object, right?” Callum said.
“Mafried?” Lillian was astounded. Although she had thought about that plan, she didn’t expect Callum to come up with it so quickly, not to mention doing so over the phone.
“If we get married, it’s just a matter of righteousness to have a child.”
Lillian’s breath hitched. Hearing that, she sniffled. She recalled asking him what they should do if she became pregnant in the past, and he had also answered in those exact words.
“Callum, do you think I should marry you happily if you say so? You can’t even get my parents’ blessings for us to get married, so what right do you have to bring it up so casually? Do you know how much my parents hated you after we broke up back then?” Her voice choked, and after saying that, she directly. ended the call.
What happened back then was agonizing to her, but it was similarly a tormenting period for her parents. In her most difficult time, the person she could’ve relied on suggested they broke up. To her parents, that was already a form of betrayal of their family’s trust.
At that time, Lillian’s parents also wholeheartedly believed Callum would become a member of the Quinn family and their son-in-law.
Lillian sat on the bed, sobbing. Even if she tried to stop her tears from flowing at that moment, she couldn’t stop them!
It was as if the emotions she had been suppressing all along were bursting forth at that instant. When she was at work the next day, she went to the office with dark circles under her eyes, which attracted speculations from colleagues.
When they were about to get off work, Jerick sent her a message: [I’ll pick you up and go to the GB concert later.]
Lillian was stunned. She had forgotten that matter because too many things had happened lately. When she heard that the GB concert would be held in Strico, she wanted to see it but couldn’t buy tickets at all. So when she had dinner with Jerick, she casually mentioned it to him.
Unexpectedly, two days later, Jerick told her that he had bought tickets and asked her to go to the GB concert with him.
Originally, she was quite looking forward to the concert. After all, it was her favorite celebrity group. The sight of five handsome guys performing at the same time was quite an enjoyable experience. But now, she had a lot on her mind.
Looking at the message from Jerick, Lillian hesitated for a moment and replied: [Okay.] After all, she had to clarify things with him sooner or later.
When it was time to get off work, Lillian walked downstairs and saw Jerick’s car parked across the road. She stepped forward and got in the car.
“It’s two hours away from the concert. Why don’t we eat something first?” Jerick asked.
