Chapter 1544
Duncan saw the calmness in Liberty’s eyes. She truly was not interested in him at all. That knowledge made Duncan feel defeated, but he soon got over it. Liberty had experienced a failed marriage before. Her ex-husband’s family was also pestering her at that moment. She was repulsed by love and marriage as a result. Duncan would need a long time to melt Liberty’s heart and make her believe in love and marriage again. He also gave himself a few years to pursue her and wait for her reply. He was not in a rush anyway. He was willing to keep waiting unless Liberty got married to someone else. “Good morning, Liberty.”Duncan returned Liberty a greeting. Zachary left with Serenity with Sonny in his arms. As he walked, he complained to his wife, “Honey, I was drunk last night and woke up with a headache this morning. I think my headache worsened because I couldn’t see you after opening my eyes.”Serenity hooked his arm and said softly, “I didn’t wake you up because you w

Duncan stood still. He silently watched as Liberty walked past him. He only left after some time. He had preempted what would happen after he confessed to Liberty. He was also mentally prepared to wait several years for Liberty to develop feelings for him. Upon entering the house, Duncan received a concerned gaze from his friend. Zachary did not ask any questions as Duncan seemed alright. He just called him over to have breakfast together. He patted Duncan’s shoulder and whispered, “It’s okay. Take it slow.”Duncan smiled and said, “I’m not in a rush. I have a lifetime to spend on her.”He would not give up as long as Liberty did not get married to someone else. “Sonny is an important piece,” Zachary whispered. Duncan hummed in agreement. “I know. I like Sonny from the bottom of my heart.”He had liked Sonny even before he fell in love with Liberty, let alone now. “Let’s go and have breakfast.”Zachary invited his friend to eat together. Serenity and Liberty had

Camryn scolded Callum a hundred times over mentally. In the end, she got out of her car. Callum moved the moment she came out. He walked over and took her white cane gently. He guided her over to his car. “I’ll be the one to send you every day from now on.“Oh, by the way…”Callum gestured for two bodyguards to come over. They were bodyguards he mobilized from the manor. He usually did not bring bodyguards along when he went out. He was not as popular as Zachary, and he did not need bodyguards blocking off fangirls for him. When the bodyguards approached them, Callum said, “This is Ms. Newman, your future Mrs. York. You two will be guarding her from here on out. You’re not supposed to supervise but protect her. If there are problems that you can’t handle, contact me.”Those words were meant for Camryn. In fact, he arranged for two bodyguards to follow her to protect her and know her location whenever he wanted to meet her. Callum had tasted the pain of yearning for s

Not many people knew that Camryn was chosen for Callum by Grandma May.However, even if everyone did, they still could not guess the old woman’s intent.Callum also could not understand why his nana chose Camryn for him.It was only after knowing that she had long been involved in Newman Enterprise did he understand a little.Although he did not care about the Newmans’ assets, if he and Camryn became a couple and have children later, their children would be able to inherit the Newman family’s assets in addition to the Yorks’.That was the first thing that came to his mind.Of course, Callum did not think that his nana was after Camryn’s family assets, but Camryn herself.The York family had a fortune worth hundreds of billions, but the Newmans’ assets only amounted to a billion. Furthermore, there was a portion of their assets that would be seized soon and their worth would shrink significantly.There was no way his nana was after the Newman family property.She just understoo

“Have you reached? Do you want me to arrange for someone to pick you up?”Camryn had a deep impression of Dalton’s girlfriend. Although the two had only spent a short time together and his girlfriend was wary of her, she truly thought of his girlfriend as her future sister-in-law.Dalton laughed. “No need. We arrived last night and are staying in a hotel. We just finished breakfast and are about to go to your store now.”“You didn’t tell me that you came last night.”“You were attending Mr. Bucham’s wedding last night, so I didn’t want to bother you. Okay, I’m going to drive now. See you later. Your sister-in-law brought you a lot of local specialties.”Camryn smiled. “I’m looking forward to it. See you later.”After she ended the call, Callum asked, “Was it that Mitchell guy again?”“Your ears are sharp enough to hear. Why bother asking?”Camryn added calmly, “Dal brought his girlfriend over to spend the holidays with me.”“He has a girlfriend?”“He always had a girlfriend.

Melissa’s words made the two tense men temporarily suppress their anger toward each other.When entering the store, the two men walked side by side and almost bumped into each other.Dalton glared at Callum and said in a low voice, “Mr. York, Cam has not accepted your advances yet, so please give her the respect she deserves. Don’t get all touchy-feely with her.”Callum responded defiantly, “Camryn isn’t really your sister. You two have different last names. Only Aunt Evelyn has the right to say such things to me. Besides, I’m not taking advantage of Camryn. I held her hand to help her out of the car because she can’t see.”Dalton paused, before saying, “Cam thinks of me as her brother, and she was the one who saved my life. We’ve been siblings for many years. She’s my sister in my heart!”“I am aware that you and Camryn are close. That’s why I’m calling you Dal too.”Dalton choked.Callum’s expression seemed to say, ‘Since I’m calling you Dal, it means I think of you as a broth
Chapter 1550
Camryn and Melissa chatted about opening a store, but the two men had no common topic. They simply stared at each other.In the meantime, Zachary took Serenity back to the manor and saw two cars blocking the entrance.The cars were not parked haphazardly but side-by-side. They just so happened to be blocking the gate.The security booth at the entrance of the manor had guards on duty. As soon as they saw the Rolls-Royce, they knew that Zachary had returned.The two guards on duty hurriedly came out and went to the windows of the aforementioned two cars. After they tapped on the windows and the drivers lowered the windows, the guards said, “Our young master is back. Please move your car aside while waiting for the butler to give us his reply before you can drive in.”The two cars belonged to none other than Camryn’s aunts.The sisters had come to meet Rosella.However, they came too early. Rosella had not woken up yet.The butler did not dare let them in without Rosella’s permis

“Liberty and Sonny are here too, but I really did come here to see you, Grandma May.”Duncan stepped into the gazebo, sat down, and watched the old lady continue with her pilates.He said, “When my granny was still alive, I asked her to practice pilates with you, but she didn’t listen to me.”His granny and Grandma May were of the same age, but the former’s health was far from that of the latter.Grandma May was still physically strong and could fly around the world by plane without company.She set her grandsons up with a spring in her step.Meanwhile, his granny had been buried six feet under for many years.“Your granny is a true noble lady. She’s different from someone impoverished like me.”“Who said you’re impoverished? You’re also a true noble lady.”Grandma May laughed. “When my grandfather was alive, my family was considered an influential family. But after I was born, my family fell into poverty. Now, even their mansion has been handed over to the state.“On the oth
