Chapter 1658
Serenity poured three glasses of water and gave one glass to her nephew. Then, she brought over two glasses of water and sat in front of Camryn. She handed one of them to Camryn. Serenity and Camryn drank half the glasses of water.“Camryn, go ahead. What do you want to ask me?”“It seems that Callum went missing these two days. Is he away on a business trip?”Serenity was surprised that Camryn asked about Callum’s whereabouts.Callum went to Annenburg to beg Dr. Carden to treat Camryn’s eyes. He did not tell Camryn about it. Before he received Dr. Carden’s promise to treat Camryn’s eyes, he planned to keep it from her to avoid disappointing her.Aunt Evelyn went to search for the doctor’s apprentice to treat Camryn’s eyes. As she was not as well-connected as Callum, she had no idea that Dr. Carden had returned to Annenburg.The apprentice was Camryn’s last hope. Although she did not mention it, Callum knew that she held high hopes for it.If he failed to get Dr. Carden’s prom

At that moment, Serenity was stumped for words.As Camryn had said, Serenity felt that she did not deserve to be with Zachary because of her background.For Camryn, however, the problem was her health.Serenity was silent for a moment before she comforted Camryn, “Camryn, your eyes will be fine. Callum will hire the best doctor to treat your eyes.”Callum had gone to Annenburg.Nobody knew about his situation.Camryn soon put her despondence behind her. She wore her usual smile and said to Serenity, “Serenity, let’s drop this subject. It’ll be better for Callum to be away on a business trip. Now that we’re apart, we can calm down. Perhaps he’ll give up on me.” It would be a lie to say that she had no feelings for Callum. It was still difficult for Camryn to accept him.She always felt that her blindness made her unworthy of Callum who was outstanding.He should marry a woman who was better than her.Serenity said, “Callum won’t give up on you unless he has no feelings for yo
Chapter 1660
Duncan carried Sonny into the house and closed the door. With a grin, he asked the kid, “I’m a boss. I can choose not to go to work. Nobody can control me, and I don’t have to worry that my salary will be cut.”Sonny said, “Oh. But Uncle Zak is a boss too. Why does he have to go to work every day?”Duncan replied, “Uncle Zak’s company is larger than mine. He has more things to handle, so he needs to work every day.”Sonny was convinced.Duncan put him down.The kid had a lot of whys in his mind. If one was not quick enough to react, one would be stuck.“Liberty.”Duncan walked to Liberty with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. He looked at her affectionately while handing the bouquet to her.“Mr. Lewis, I don’t like flowers. Don’t send them to me next time, okay?” Liberty said helplessly.Although she had rejected Duncan numerous times, he continued to send her flowers.When Duncan noticed that she did not accept the bouquet, he searched for a vase and put the bouquet in it.

Liberty never told Duncan anything about her conversation with Mrs. Lewis. However, he still found out from his mother. Upon discovering that his mother had made Liberty move out, move away, and even leave Wiltspoon with Sonny, he quarreled with his mother in anger. Mrs. Lewis was furious, and so was Duncan. Ultimately, the mother and son were unwilling to compromise. None of them would give up and let go. Liberty glanced at Duncan and continued what she was doing. She said, “If I’m not the problem, then I won’t make so many sacrifices.”Duncan laughed. He liked that side of Liberty. Sonny, who took the phone into a room, dialed Serenity’s number. He knew the first number in his mother’s contact list was Aunt Ser’s. Serenity picked up the phone shortly. “What’s the matter, Liberty?”She thought it was her sister who called. “Aunt Ser, it’s me, Sonny.”Hearing her nephew’s young voice, Serenity smiled and said, “Hey, Sonny. Did you call me yourself?”“Yeah. I too

“Yes. He treats me well.”A child’s heart was pure. Despite their young age, they were aware of who treated them well or when someone was pretending. However, they could not express themselves due to their age sometimes. Duncan noticed Sonny first. He truly liked Sonny and would always want to carry him back then.At that time, Sonny was still young and scared of the scar on Duncan’s face. Therefore, he refused Duncan’s embrace. Duncan’s wish to carry Sonny only came true after they became familiar with each other. Duncan only paid attention to the mother and son duo because he adored Sonny. He gradually fell in love with Sonny’s mother, Liberty. “If Dunc treats you well and likes you so much, how will he bear to take your mother away? Believe in Duncan. He’ll only love you together with your mother. He won’t steal her away.”Sonny felt reassured. He said, “I won’t call Dad then, Aunt Ser. Dad always says Dunc is evil.”Dunc was so nice. He did not understand why Dad wo

Sonny treated Duncan as his backer. That act, which showed his trust, made Duncan happy. He grinned and Liberty was speechless. “Dunc, Mom glared at me.”Sonny even tattled. Duncan lifted Sonny with a smile. He asked him, “Think about why she glared at you. I’m standing here, but she didn’t glare at me but you. What can be the reason for this?”Liberty walked over. Sonny glanced at his mother and said obediently, “I played on the phone after calling Aunt Ser. Mom snatched my phone away.”“That’s not your phone. It’s Mom’s.”Sonny’s big eyes shone. He dared not argue over it because the phone indeed belonged to Mom.“I asked why Mom could be on the phone, but I couldn’t. She glared at me afterward.”Sonny’s voice gradually got softer. He knew that playing on the phone was wrong too. Duncan said gently, “You’re still young. Being on the phone too often will hurt your eyes and cause short-sightedness. Your mom is doing this for your own good.“She doesn’t usually play on th

“I asked where you went. I’m in your office. It’s working hours, but you’re neither in the office nor the building. Where have you gone? Don’t tell me you went to business meetings. Your secretary is still here.“Did you go looking for Liberty again? How many times have I told you? Liberty is not suitable for you. She’s a divorced woman with a three-year-old child. That child is even a son. You may be willing to raise a son for someone else, but I don’t want to be that child’s grandmother!“Besides raising someone else’s son, you’ll have to buy a house and car and get a wife for him. His father won’t contribute anything and will laugh at you for being a doormat. Duncan, there are so many young, pretty ladies in Wiltspoon. Any one of them will be better than Liberty.”Mrs. Lewis was about to be angered to death by her son. He would not listen to her at all. Mrs. Lewis’s words grew increasingly harsh. Duncan said in a deep voice, “You don’t have to worry about my matters. I’ll t

Sonny asked in confusion, “Why do we have to move, Mom?”He had lived there for half a year with his mom and had gotten used to it. Liberty lied. She said, “You’ll start preschool in September. Your preschool is quite far from here. We can move to a place closer to it so it’s convenient for me to send you to school.”What opinions could a three-year-old child possibly have?With Liberty’s explanation, Sonny nodded his head. Therefore, she called a real estate agent, told the agent her requirements for renting a place, and asked for recommendations. She was not in a rush to buy a house. She could look around and only decide after finding a suitable place. Moreover, her priority was to pay for her son’s education. Sonny was enrolled in Wiltspoon’s best preschool. The annual school fee was about a hundred thousand to two hundred thousand dollars. She had gotten some money from Hank when they got divorced. She used a portion of that money and invested in All You Can Eat. Alt
