Honey You Are My Lucky Star (Callen and Chelsea)

Chapter 76

Callen slowly walks up to me and says distressedly, "Chelsea, after all these years, I realize you are the best. Can't you give me a chance to start over?"

"I always thought you were just disgusting, and now I realize you're a hypocrite." I look at him coldly. "Tell me everything."

He shrugs and doesn't answer my question.

It really pisses me off. I feel that he has no regard for me at all, as if my anger means nothing to him.

I clench my fists and suddenly sneer. "Forget it, I'll just call the police. What do you think they'd do if I told them you had something to do with my mother's death?"

"You're as innocent as ever."

I'm sure it's not a compliment.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

He takes two steps forward, and I take three steps backward. I don't want to be too close to him.

He looks at me with anger. "Can you stop playing hard to get?"

"Can you stop being so confident?" I reply to him after a few seconds.

I stopped for a few seconds because what he said was so funny. I can't believe that he thinks I'm playing hard to get when I say no.

What a cheek!

I take out my mobile phone and speak with a smile, "Would you like to see what happens when I call the police?"

"Do you really think it's gonna work?" Callen looks at me in disappointment. "Forget it. Your mom's death has nothing to do with us. The police won't take your side. Do you remember how powerful the Cook family is?"

Yes, he's right.

When I was forced to induced, Maisy said she wasn't afraid that I'd take her to court.

She's got the best laywers, and they're gonna take care of everything for her. What about me? I can't afford a lawyer and I'm not sure if I can win.

A deep sense of helplessness overwhelms me. I put down my cell phone. "Callen, don't let me get hold of your weakness, or I will make you regret everything you have done."

I pass him and prepareto leave.

"Actually, if you want, I can tell you the truth of your mom's death."

I stop abruptly and turn to look at him. "Then tell me."

"What's in it for me to tell you?" He chuckles.

"This is on you and Maisy. Aren't you ashamed to say that?" I ask him.

I'm really pissed off. The cheek of it, still wanting to get something from me!

He should go to hell and be tortured forever!Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

He approaches me, lowers his head and whispers in my ear, "Don't be silly. It's just your guess that Maisy and I are related to your mom's death. Do you have any proof?"

"But if you have my testimony, you can take Maisy to court."

I don't believe Callen would be so kind to be my witness. Besides, Maisy can help him with his career. Why would he offer to help me?

But this offer is just too tempting. Not only do I want to know what happened on that day, but I want Maisy to have a taste of what it's like to hit bottom. Also, I want Callen to pay.

With a smile, I ask, "So what do you want?"

He looks at the time and says casually, "It's getting late. Don't you want to invite me to your place?"

"If you're not afraid of meeting my mom there, come on."

I know him too well. He won't dare to come to my place after hearing that, because he's guilty.

Callen glances at me and says in a low voice, "Do you still remember what you saw on my doorstep the other day?"

"You mean how Maisy called your mom names?" I sarcastically say, "If she were me, you'd have beaten her black and blue."

As far as I know, Callen always listens to his mom and never allows me to speak ill of her. It really shocked me to see him stay calm when Maisy was yelling at his mom.

Money changes a person faster than time.

"If she wasn't that useful, I'd have dumped her! This barren woman bosses me and my mother around every day. Do you really think I don't want to divorce her?" Callen seems to be furious.

Looks like he and Maisy have been at each other's throats for a while. I resist the urge to laugh.

"You want to know the truth, and I want to be with you. This obviously a win-win situation. Aren't you tempted?" He puts his hand behind my back.

I stop myself from hitting him and ask, "What makes you so sure I'll be tempted? I can turn

to Harrison."

He suddenly draws me closer to him and says meaningfully, "You're not an idiot. Can't you see Harrison is just playing with you and I'm the only one who's sincere to you?"

I answer seriously, "I'm sorry, I can't."

"Chelsea, we're not young anymore. You give me a child, and I'll divorce Maisy and marry you. Isn't that good?" he aks.

"Excuse me."

Suddenly, a voice interrupts us. I tilt my head and see Harrison standing not far away.
