Chapter 1350
Mr. Newman spoke in a concerned tone. When he noticed the state Camryn was in and how she had lost her shoes, he turned to his wife and asked nicely, “Honey, could you take Camryn into the house?” Then, he turned to Callum and made an inviting gesture, “Mr. York, please, come inside.” Callum was planning to leave right after dropping Camryn off, but he promptly changed his mind. He decided to have a quick chat with Mr. Newman as a show of respect. Several minutes later after Callum relayed what happened, Mr. Newman erupted with rage and cursed out loud, “Damned fool! All I did was give him a strong talking-to. I cannot believe he would turn around and do something like this and try to hurt my niece!” He thanked Callum profusely, “Mr. York, you have my most sincere gratitude. If it weren’t for you showing up at the right time, who knows what that nasty excuse of a bodyguard would have done to Camryn?“ The poor bodyguard took the fall. Meanwhile, Mrs. Newman emerged fro

“Do you think Camryn can marry into the Yorks even if we want her to?” Mr. Newman said, “I don’t want her to marry into the Yorks either. Although I dote on her because she’s my brother’s only child, I love our son and daughter more. How could I possibly let her marry into the wealthiest family in Wiltspoon? “Don’t think about getting Carrie to marry into the Yorks either; she doesn’t stand a chance. Putting aside everything else, the mere fact that we have a beef with Mr. and Mrs. York makes it impossible for the other bachelors of the Yorks to like her. Carrie is only twenty, so there’s no hurry for her to get married now. “What we need to do is to get her out first.” Mr. and Mrs. Newman walked to the couch and sat. The latter asked, “How do we save her? We’ve bowed our heads and apologized, but they were all to no avail. We initially found someone who could help mediate the situation, but it was ruined by Mr. Callum. “Darling, will Mr. Callum recognize that man is from the

The headache was coming from a hangover. Serenity endured the headache and reached for her phone to check the time. It was ten in the morning. She muttered, “When he wakes up, he goes off and leaves me alone in the room; when I wake up first, he’ll say I’m leaving him behind and abandoning him.” Knock, knock.There was a knock on the door. Thinking it was the maid, Serenity answered, “Come in.” The door was pushed open, but it was her sister, Liberty, who came in. Her nephew, Sonny, followed behind. “Liberty?” Serenity was surprised to see her sister. After all, her sister’s breakfast place had not closed at this hour. “Liberty, why are you here?” Serenity was about to turn over to get out of bed, but her head ached more due to the sudden huge movement. She had slept all night, so why was her head still aching? She only drank a few glasses of wine. Liberty walked over and sat on the edge of Serenity’s bed. She looked at Serenity and asked, “Does your heart hurt

In fact, Liberty did not use force. Serenity shouted on purpose to make her sister feel sorry for her. “Sonny, quickly save me.” Serenity asked for her little nephew’s help. Sonny put in the extra effort. He immediately climbed on the bed and recused his aunt’s ear from his mom’s hand. He even protected his aunt by staying in front of her and said to his mom, “Mom, Aunt Ser will be in pain.” Serenity hugged the little one and kissed him on the cheek. She said with a smile, “I didn’t love you for nothing.” Liberty poked her sister’s forehead again and said, “Hurry up. Go wash up, change your clothes, and come downstairs to eat.” “Got it, my dear old sister.” “Am I very old?” “No, no. My sister is still very young, like an eighteen-year-old girl.” Serenity had a strong desire to live. Liberty responded amusingly, “I’d like to be eighteen but unfortunately, I’m not Aphrodite, and I can’t stay eighteen every year. I’m going to pick up the car this afternoon. Are you fre

“I was afraid Zachary would say that I’m stingy and cheap such that I’m unwilling to get Sonny a more expensive bicycle,” Duncan added. He pulled Sonny over and pointed at the cardboard box as he said, “Sonny, I bought you a small bicycle. Do you like it? Do you want to ride it?” Sonny thought about the other children with bicycles he saw during his evening walks with his mom downstairs at their place. He nodded and answered, “Dunc, I like bicycles.” Duncan smiled. “Then I’ll unpack it now and assemble it for you. I’ll take you outside to ride it later, okay? I also bought you a windmill. If it’s attached to the head of your bicycle, it’ll spin when you ride. It’ll look great.” Sonny was full of anticipation. He could not hide his happiness at all. When Liberty heard Duncan say that the bicycle was just over a hundred dollars and that he also brought up his friendship with Zachary, she stopped asking him about the bicycle’s cost. She just thought she would let him dine at her

Hank said on the other end of the line, “Sonny is three years old and is my son, so what’s wrong with him being my flower boy? Where are you and Sonny? I’m at the door of your rented unit and have been hitting the door but nobody is answering. You’re not inside, right?” Jessica was standing next to him as she listened to his conversation with Liberty. She rested for a few days after her fight with her sister-in-law the other day, so the bruises on her face were gone. Hank bought two more sets of skin care products for Jessica and reluctantly gave her a jewelry set to coax her. Moreover, Hank told his parents and sister that he and Jessica had gotten their marriage license and that Jessica was set on living the rest of her life with him. Since their wedding was approaching, he asked his parents and sister not to pick on Jessica anymore. He also blamed them for his divorce from Liberty back then. He asked his parents, “Do you want me to divorce again? Think about the cost of my

Hank said, “Even if I buy a small suit for Sonny, I have to take him along. I don’t know what size he is. What if it’s too big or too small?” Liberty immediately told him Sonny’s size and said, “Buy his suit according to this size. It’ll fit him.” “Liberty, are you stopping me from spending time with my son? When we got divorced, we agreed that I can see my son whenever I want to. Now that I miss him and want to buy some clothes for him, you won’t even let me see him.” Liberty hung up the phone right away. Ever since she became suspicious of Jessica, she no longer dared let Hank take Sonny away again. Hank probably listened to Jessica because he did not know that she was being used. When Jessica suggested that Sonny become their flower boy, he agreed without much thought. He also felt that there was no need to find someone else to be the flower boy, so he let Sonny have the role.Sonny could talk well and was sensible. He was slightly taller than his peers, so he would be

Hank said with a solemn expression, “Sonny is my son and will always be my son. If Liberty won’t let me see him, I can go to court with her again to fight for his custody.” Jessica could not let Hank fight for Sonny’s custody. She immediately comforted him, “You’re an Uber driver now without a regular income. We’re having our wedding soon and will go on a honeymoon after that, so it won’t be wise for you to fight for his custody.” She only wanted to use Sonny and not take care of him. Jessica would still have a child in the future. If they were to take Sonny with them, Hank’s love would be split between them. “Liberty closed her store early today to go to her sister’s place. Let’s go to her diner earlier tomorrow and pick up Sonny to try on his suit. It doesn’t matter if we do it tomorrow.” Hank said angrily, “If not for Liberty, we wouldn’t have lost our jobs. After Liberty took a share of my property worth more than a million dollars, I thought we could earn the money back
