Chapter 127
The phone call ended abruptly because Callum didn’t want to interact with Arabella for too long. However, what made him curious was why Arabella suddenly wanted to talk to Edith. He was still traumatized by Arabella’s unexpected actions, which was why he didn’t really trust her. Furthermore, Arabella’s request to see him on a holiday only made him even angrier.
“Callum, are you okay p>
Callum nodded, cradling his fiancée’s tiny body. “Looks like we’ll have to postpone our day off again tomorrow. Arabella wants to see us both p>
“But, why is it suddenly like this p>
“I don’t know. I don’t know her goal either. She has nothing, so why would she bully us again? Unless she still hasn’t learned her lesson from the last incident p>
“If she were still after you, would you just keep quiet p>
“No way. In fact, tomorrow I have to ask her why she suddenly wants to meet us p>
Their holiday was supposed to be a fun day out, but now they had to face another annoying woman. Callum greeted his visitor with a straight face, still fed up with Arabella’s behavior, which had always trapped him with cheap tricks. Now that she suddenly wanted to meet him after a long absence, he suspected there was an ulterior motive behind her visit.
Callum and Edith sat next to each other, holding hands. This time, Callum wouldn’t let Arabella bully Edith like before.
“What’s your real purpose for suddenly wanting to meet us? Are you still not satisfied with bullying us back then?” Callum asked sharply.
Arabella lowered her head and stroked her belly. “Don’t worry, I won’t bother you. I’m pregnant now p>
Edith was disgusted to hear this, as the baby was Cliff’s. However, since she had already broken off her engagement twice before, she didn’t mind Arabella suddenly getting pregnant by Cliff. After all, it was all Callum who had slipped an aphrodisiac into Cliff and Arabella’s drinks.
“You must take good care of that baby. Because that baby is the result of your and Cliff’s actions,” Edith said softly.
“Actually, Cliff and I haven’t communicated with each other since you guys held the press conference. He and I have broken up p>
Edith and Callum exchanged confused glances. They had hoped Arabella and Cliff would be together, but instead, they had broken up.
Callum leaned forward. “Is it true that you guys broke up? Does that mean Cliff doesn’t know you’re pregnant p>
Arabella nodded. “I met Cliff last night. I just told him the happy news. But he insulted me. He thinks the baby isn’t his, but another man’s p>
Hearing those unexpected words made Edith clench her fists tightly. She hadn’t expected Cliff to be even more of a jerk than she’d previously thought. “How dare he! Even though you’ve always done things secretly, that doesn’t mean he’s irresponsible! He should be with you all his life p>
“Actually what makes me angry now is that he is siding with Yvette p>
Edith’s brow furrowed at another unexpected revelation. Furthermore, as far as she knew, Yvette had always been reluctant to associate with Cliff. Was Yvette now only taking advantage of Cliff’s affair?
“Wait a minute! So Cliff cheated on you? “Now Cliff is hanging out with Yvette?” Callum asked, massaging his aching forehead.
“If he wasn’t cheating on me, why would I be meeting you now? I don’t want to bother you anymore. Since he betrayed me now, I’ll take revenge too. I want to help you p>
“But, can you really be trusted? Last time you kept setting me up p>
“This time I’m sure, Callum. I’m sorry I was so selfish because I liked you. But after I fell into your trap, I realized how wrong I’ve been p>
Edith looked at her enemy-turned-friend with pity. “So, you’re going to raise your child alone p>
“Yes, I don’t need Cliff’s help anymore because he’s had the audacity to exploit me for years. He even promised to marry me if I got pregnant p>
“Arabella, I suggest you think this through carefully p>
“I’ve been thinking about this, which is why I want to help you find evidence of the accident five years ago. I don’t want those criminals to continue living in peace p>
“But Cliff is your baby’s father p>
“It’s okay. I won’t consider him my boyfriend anymore.” Arabella knelt before Edith and Callum for a moment. “I’m sorry for making you suffer p>
Edith also knelt before Arabella, gently lifting her lithe body. “You’re pregnant, don’t kneel too often p>
“From now on, if you need help, I can help you, especially in looking for evidence at Cliff’s house or his office p>
“But, is that okay? Your position will be in jeopardy too p>
“It’s okay. I’m so sick of Cliff cheating on every woman.” Arabella patted Edith’s shoulder gently. “I didn’t mean to make fun of you, but it’s a good thing you called off your engagement. Wouldn’t you like to see your sister kiss your future husband p>
“This must be really hard for you, Arabella. You’ve always relied on Cliff p>
“Anyway, I will destroy their relationship by any means necessary. What is certain is that we must remain vigilant now. We will not know what Yvette and Cliff are planning right now p>
Callum nodded. “Okay, since you want to join my team, I won’t stop you. But for your previous actions, I still don’t want to forgive you p>
“I don’t expect anything from you. I just want this whole thing to end quickly.” Arabella glanced at the twins playing a game for a moment. “I also want to apologize to the kids for being such a mean aunt p>
“They will surely forgive you if you help us. They are very kind to anyone who is kind to them p>
ding…dong p>
Suddenly, the doorbell rang loudly. Callum briefly welcomed the unexpected arrival of a visitor to his house on a holiday. Meanwhile, Edith and Arabella were still enjoying tea in the living room, waiting for Callum to greet them.
As Callum and James entered the living room, Arabella’s gaze widened at James.
