It was because Camryn could not see.She recognized people based on their scent, voice, and footsteps.However, these characteristics could easily be imitated. She would fall into a trap if she let her guard down even a little.She almost fell into a trap this time. She smelled the scent of tobacco when she got into the car with the person whom she thought was Callum. Only then she realized that the person talking to her was not Callum.Callum rarely smoked, and there would be no hint of tobacco in his car.“Yes, he was disguised as you. His voice, footsteps, and even the scent on his body were very similar to yours. I think he must have been secretly observing our every move and deliberately imitating you. As for the scent on your body, you occasionally use men’s cologne. Once they find out the brand of cologne you use, it’s easy to solve the scent issue.”Callum said, “It must be your two aunts scheming behind the scenes. People from the two families are often active near your
“God knows. I was extremely scared at that time. When I received a call from Serenity, saying that you were attacked, my soul left my body.”Callum gently caressed Camryn’s neck with both his hands, burying his head in her neck, unable to resist stealing a sniff and occasionally kissing her cheek. As he continued to kiss her, he decisively adjusted her head and sealed her rosy lips.Right after a kiss, Callum sat on a chair.He held Camryn in his arms.Callum tightly embraced her waist, and she felt the pressure on his arms. She adjusted his grip and softly said, “Don’t exert so much force, it feels like you’re going to break my waist.”Callum immediately loosened his grip.“I was scared,” he murmured.“I was scared that something would happen to you.”“Fortunately, Serenity happened to be there and saw you. If she didn't know martial arts, you would have been taken away by them.”Callum felt a wave of lingering fear thinking about the consequences.“It means I still have goo
Ring, ring…Camryn’s phone rang.She hurriedly pushed away the man who took the opportunity to kiss her.Callum held her face, keeping her head in place, not allowing her to evade his kiss. In a low, hoarse voice, he said, “I don’t care.”With that, he clung to her, forcing her to entwine with him. Reluctantly, he finally let her go.The housekeeper stood outside Camryn’s room.Knowing that Miss Newman’s room was soundproofed, she did not knock on the door but called her instead.She did not answer the call.After she proactively ended the call, she waited briefly and dialed Ms. Newman’s number again.This time, the young miss picked up the call.“Ms. Newman, Mrs. York has arrived.”The housekeeper respectfully spoke over the phone.“Oh, she’s here. Please let her in, I’ll come downstairs soon.”Camryn’s voice sounded calm, without any hint of strangeness.The housekeeper could not guess what the two of them were discussing inside the room. An engaged couple alone in a ro
After Callum led Camryn downstairs, they approached their brother and sister-in-law to greet them.Camryn greeted them following Callum’s own greeting.They both sat opposite Zachary and Serenity.Serenity asked with concern, “Camryn, are you okay?”“It's nothing major, just a bit of pain in the back of my neck. Thanks for saving me, Serenity.”Camryn expressed her gratitude to Serenity.Serenity replied, “We are all family, there’s no need to be so formal. However, from now on, you should have bodyguards with you for added security. That way, we can all feel more at ease. It was fortunate that I happened to encounter you and rescued you today. Otherwise, the consequences could have been unimaginable.”Camryn was also a bit frightened after the fact. She said, “Just now, Callum told me the same thing. From now on, I’ll let the bodyguards be by my side at all times.”If she hadn’t taken over the Newman family business, she wouldn’t have needed bodyguards following her. Now thoug
Zachary said, “The rest of them are still overseas aside from Rowan, you, and me.”Rowan was still studying and usually lived in the school. He would only return home once a month.Callum was stunned for a moment before smiling. “I forgot all about that.”His cousins were on business trips or on their way to court their future wives. Only he and Zachary remained in Wiltspoon because their marriages were pretty much settled. “Nana isn’t home either.”Callum spoke in a reminiscing tone, “I was always tense whenever Nana was around. I feared I would make her dislike me or be targeted and punished by her. However, I miss her a lot after she started leaving home to travel.”Zachary did not continue the conversation, but he felt the same. Among his brothers, Nana had spent the most effort on his marriage. She was often worried whenever he and Serenity quarreled and gave each other the silent treatment. She even moved into his and Serenity’s house for a short period due to that r
Of course, Tania firmly denied that her son had issues. How could there be any problems with her strong and sturdy son?Liam took the prescription from his wife’s hand and looked at it. He did not know a thing about medicine and did not know the functions of it.He said, “It’s a prescription that a doctor hasn’t checked. How do we know if it’s suitable? Everyone’s condition is different.“Besides, we agreed not to urge them to have a child. If you pass this prescription to Serenity, she’ll think we’re urging her to get pregnant and feel pressured. She’s already stressed enough.“If you give the prescription to our son, he’ll definitely tear it in front of us.“Didn’t the psychic Mom hired say Zack and Serenity will have good news in the autumn? Just wait and see. I think they have no issues at all.”Liam said, “It might’ve been because of stress as they’re both busy with work. Don’t be hasty. We can’t seal the outsiders’ mouths no matter what they say, but we must stand behind Se
Liam said, “I’d advise you not to talk to our son and daughter-in-law about this to prevent a family war from breaking out.”“Mom isn’t around, and I don’t think I can handle your son. If you feel you’re able to persuade him, you can tell him about this.“I told you not to be hasty. They just got their marriage license a year ago, not ten or eight years ago. Why are you so anxious?”After a moment of silence, Tania said, “Actually, I’m still hoping that Serenity can get pregnant as soon as possible and give birth to our grandchild. That way, we can live a peaceful life while taking care of our grandchildren. She doesn’t even have to care for the child after giving birth. She can manage her business with no worries at all.“This issue will always be a thorn in my heart as long as she hasn’t given birth. Nevertheless, I don’t dare to be too obvious about urging her to get pregnant.”Tania wished her daughter-in-law could be like the wives in other wealthy families who stayed home to
After hiding the prescription, Tania stood and walked out as if nothing had happened. The butler looked toward Liam. Liam asked him, “Is Sonny here too?”“I didn’t see Mr. Sonny.”Liam made a disappointed sound. Then, he took a newspaper and opened it up to read it. He said, “If Sonny isn’t here, I don’t have to welcome my son outside since I’m the father.”The butler could not resist laughing. Sonny was a favorite among the older ones here. It was mainly because there were no children in Wildridge Manor. Whenever Sonny followed his aunt to the manor, he would become popular. Everyone would be fighting to take care of him. Additionally, the child was sensible and a smooth-talker. Naturally, people like Liam, who were waiting to have grandchildren and entering their senior years, adored Sonny. As soon as Tania walked out of the house, she saw her son and daughter-in-law walking over hand in hand. Her son was holding a few bags in his other hand. She knew the bags had gift
