Becoming Secret Nanny for Possessive CEO-Chapter 82: I Still Love You

Thanks to the loving energy Edith gave him, Callum finally showed her how to move his right hand. Edith slowly lifted her head and looked at Callum, who was about to blink. Unexpectedly, her simple words had brought Callum back to his senses.

"Callum, it’s me!" Edith gripped her lover’s right hand tightly.

Callum smiled faintly at his girlfriend. "Edith..."

"Do you feel any part of your body hurting?"

"No." Callum slowly positioned himself, sitting back. "You came here alone? Where are our twins?"

"I asked Renata for help to look after them for a while." Her tears flowed even more.

"Edith, I’m sorry I scared you earlier."

"Why did you do that stupid thing? Is it because you feel desperate because I hurt your feelings recently?" Her sobs grew louder, and she took a moment to suck in her mucus. "I’m sorry, Callum. I’ve been hurting you all this time because I had to to save you. But I never thought that because of that, I’d kill you."

Callum shook his head slowly, stroking his lover’s soft cheek. "I know, Edith. Because it’s impossible for me that you would suddenly hate me for no reason."

"But why did you decide to end your life when you still have me and our twins? Why would you do such a stupid thing? Was the code I gave you this afternoon still not enough for you?"

His gaze fell on the diamond necklace still around his lover’s neck. "Actually, I know what your code means. If you still wear my necklace all the time, it means you still want to be my wife."

"But why do you still want to end your life? Don’t you think about me?"

"I’m sorry, Edith. I was actually afraid you would really marry Cliff even though you still cared about me."

"Actually, I’ve been trying to contact you several times, but you haven’t answered my calls! If I was going to marry Cliff, why would I go to all this trouble?"

"But, didn’t you contact me earlier? I checked my phone during the day and evening."

A heavy sigh escaped her lips. She took Callum’s phone and showed him a list of people who had contacted her today, including herself trying to contact him twenty times.

Callum felt even more guilty for his misunderstanding. He put his phone on the bedside table for a moment. "So you care about me enough to go to such lengths. I’m sorry, Edith. I shouldn’t have thought of doing something so stupid."

"It’s more likely I should be the one apologizing, for I was so selfish that I didn’t think of this. If I hadn’t acted recklessly, your life wouldn’t have been in danger."

"Did you deliberately say hate words so that I wouldn’t bother you anymore?"

"Actually I was threatened."

Callum’s eyes widened. "What? Why are you only telling me now?"

Her eyes welled up with tears as she thought about being pressured by her future mother-in-law to break up with Callum. Even the original video of Callum and Arabella, which featured moans, made her gasp.

"Edith, who threatened you? Was it Arabella who threatened you?"

"It was your stepmother who threatened me."

Callum punched the headboard with some force. "I knew it, she’d be after you one day. Because she’s never liked seeing you with me."

"I don’t know how she got the original video. The one circulating online has been censored, but the original video shows your face and Arabella’s, along with the sound of moaning. At first, I got goosebumps hearing those moans and wanted to vomit, but I’m sure you couldn’t have done that with Arabella."

"So, my stepmother threatened you using that video?"

Edith nodded. "At first, I didn’t believe the video. But she told me that if I didn’t marry you, you would have everything. You deserve what you’ve always wanted." Her lips curled into a pout. "That’s why I’ve been pretending to hate you lately, so it seems like we already hate each other and you won’t be so overbearing toward me."

"No wonder you suddenly hated me, even though you were fine that day." His strong arms hugged his lover’s slender body tightly. "Don’t listen to anyone else. Actually, my stepmother’s purpose in threatening you like that was to target me so that I wouldn’t have anyone in my life. If you ever left me, I might go crazy and end my life."

"I promise I won’t leave you again. I’m actually really scared seeing you like this." Her eyes sparkled as she stared at her lover’s handsome, still disheveled face. "I want to answer your question this afternoon."

"Didn’t you answer my question this afternoon?"

"Actually, this afternoon I was just giving you a hint so you wouldn’t hate me too much. But after thinking about it all day, I can’t rest assured of giving you a mere hint. If I still wanted to marry you, I should have given you a proper answer."

"Edith..."

"I really don’t intend to be Cliff’s wife. I want to be yours forever, Callum. I still love you from five years ago until now."

Tears of joy continued to flow down her cheeks. Finally, she could hear her lover’s declaration of love directly after weathering the storm that had destroyed their relationship.

"You won’t say the word hate again, right? Because you were so good at acting before that I was fooled by you."

"I won’t. I will never utter a word of hate again unless circumstances force me to. You’re the only thing I have in my life. If I were to marry Cliff, I would surely be enslaved by him."

"Hearing you say that, I swear I’ll never do anything stupid again. Since I already have you and our twins, why would I end my life and give you to another man?"

"Then you have to promise me. You won’t do that again." Edith held out her pinky finger.

Callum smiled brightly, intertwining his pinky with his girlfriend’s and giving her a quick kiss on the lips. "I promise. Especially since I promised to hold our wedding ceremony."

Still not satisfied with just a glimpse of her lover’s sweetness, Edith kissed those sweet lips deeply again, channeling her affection and quenching her longing.
