Honey You Are My Lucky Star (Callen and Chelsea) novel 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.
