Callum only did nothing because Dalton never confessed his love to Camryn and married someone else. The way Dalton looked at Camryn was calm too.“Why aren’t you saying anything? Do you still think Dal’s your rival?”Callum quickly denied it. “No. I was simply saying. He’s already married anyway. I trust that he treats you like a sister, but you should maintain a healthy distance since you two aren’t biological siblings and he has a wife.“Let me know if you face any difficulties. I’ll solve them for you. Let’s not trouble Dal unnecessarily, he’s already helping out at the company significantly.”Only when Camryn saw Callum’s unwavering gaze that she believed him. She said, “I was blind, and he has worked in the company for a long time. He was Uncle Cain’s right-hand man too. That’s why I’m heavily relying on him when it comes to the company.“Now that I’ve regained sight, I’ve familiarized myself with the business after six months. I handle whatever I can and refrain from going t
Chapter 2514
Hayden had feelings for Kevin, but it was not deep enough for her to marry him. Therefore, Kevin’s priority was to continue courting her. He could also supervise Fortress Hotel and the few factories York Corporation owned in Jensburg. Camryn recalled Hayden’s aloofness. “Hayden Queen looks manlier than a man. Her aura and working style are similar to a man’s, but her voice sounds clear and isn’t as husky.”Hayden would intentionally lower her pitch when speaking to others, but it was still distinguishable from a man’s. Nevertheless, there were men with slightly higher pitches, which created a public assumption that Hayden was one of those men. No one suspected that Hayden was a woman. Callum smiled. “With over twenty years of experience in disguising as a man, naturally she could pull it off excellently. Her attitude is as cold as Zachary’s past personality, stern and aloof.“I guess you have no idea how strict and cold Zachary used to be. He had already evolved into a doti

Before Callum could speak, Camryn continued, “But I can tolerate it because it’ll heal my eyes.”It was a prescription by Dr. Carden, something sought after by many but only few had the opportunity to receive. Camryn was fortunate to have been treated by Dr. Carden, all thanks to Callum. “It’ll get better, Camryn. Everything will get better. You won’t have to take those bitter medicines anymore in the future.”Callum was well aware her medicines tasted bitter. The strong smell would fill the room whenever he prepared it for her, so he could only imagine how it would taste.Every dose, though, would come with a candy for Camryn to neutralize the bitterness.“It’s always darkest before dawn.”Camryn’s words made Callum laugh. His precious girl exuded self-confidence and self-love. He could not love her more than he already had.“You’re here, Callum, Camryn. Why have you come bearing so many gifts again? We have everything. Don’t buy anything next time.”Sasha walked over with

Sasha laughed heartily. She was cheery and less rigid as compared to Tania with no hard and fast rule of appearing overly dignified all the time; that was the luxury of not being the head missus of the Yorks.Tania had to be mature and composed. Though in private settings, Tania was just like Sasha. Most importantly, both of them and Rosella got along well because their personalities were similar.“Were you satisfied with Callum when you first saw him, Camryn?”Camryn blushed. She smiled and said, “I touched his face countless times when I was blind and imagined what he would look like, but I was still surprised when I saw him. He looks different from what I envisioned by touch.“So, of course I’m satisfied. Aunt Evelyn kept telling me to treat Callum well. She said he must’ve been a blessing from my dad in heaven. “Nowadays Callum gets treated better than me by her when I used to be her favorite.”Despite complaining about Aunt Evelyn’s preferential treatment, Camryn was smilin

Callum helped himself and served everyone refreshments. He studied the chessboard and said, “I think this was a deliberate move by Aunt Sasha. With your current skills, you won’t figure out where to place that chess piece even after another day.”Simon was terrible at chess. His face fell. He glared at Callum. No matter how much he sucked at chess, it was no fun to be teased by his nephew as he had some dignity to preserve.Callum chuckled. He looked toward Sasha for help to escape Simon’s deadly stares. He was merely stating facts. Upon receiving Callum’s S.O.S., Sasha told her husband, “Keep it away. We can wrap this game up another day.”“I’d rather not play against you. Callum can do it in your stead. And Callum, stay at the manor this weekend and don’t make other plans. Let’s play a few games together. Otherwise, I’ll nag you to kingdom come.”Callum quickly begged, “Sorry, Uncle Simon. I was wrong. You’re exceptionally good at chess. You’re a chess maestro, the best

“I can’t believe Milky is letting you hold it. It’s an arrogant cat. It doesn’t like me holding it and will even scratch me,” Callum said in surprise when he saw Camryn holding the cat. Sasha said, “You kicked Milky before, so for sure it would hold a grudge against you. But it’s indeed a picky cat. It prefers people who are gentle.”“Am I fierce?”Callum did not find himself so. “Which one of you brothers is gentle? Milky is clever. It can sense if someone is pretending to be nice.”Callum was speechless. “Is the cat called Milky, Aunt Sasha? That’s adorable.”“I named it Milky because it has white fur. Cats are cute. You can ask Callum to get a cat if you like them. They’re very clingy. They’ll either sleep beside you or jump into your arms.”Camryn said happily, “Never mind. I don’t have the time to care for them now.“Zachary once gave Serenity a dog and two cats, but she didn’t have time to take care of them and handed them over to Mrs. Lane. So, they aren’t close to S
Chapter 2519
Camryn was not afraid of Carrie but the person hiding behind her. They still could not identify the person with the last name Gordon. “Let me know if you need any help.”“There’s no need to trouble all of you to deal with Carrie. I can handle this myself. I just can’t find out the identity of the person she contacted right after coming out of prison.“Callum said he’d ask Zachary to request Mr. Julian’s assistance to investigate that person. We’re just worried about being blindsided if they launch an ambush because we don’t know who they are.”Serenity said, “I’ll let Jasmine know, and she’ll relay the message to Josh. You don’t have to worry about this.”“Thank you.”“Small matter. I hope we all can live in peace.”Camryn smiled. She said, “No one’s life can always be smooth sailing. There are always bound to be challenges.”“You’re right.”Serenity stared at the sky and said softly, “I feel like a change is beckoning.”“Well, it’s late fall now. The seasons are changing.

“Let’s stop talking about her. We should go on with our lives.”“That’s right. The law has already punished them for what they did. By the way, since Carrie is out, she’ll probably look for Trenton. You should call him to inform him of this.”After a short silence, Camryn said, “She and Trenton are siblings by blood. Of course she’ll look for him. Trenton can make his own decisions now that he has come of age. I’ve always told him that I’ll respect all his choices.”Serenity said, “We’ll just let them be then.”Not all siblings had a close relationship like the York brothers or the Hunt sisters. Although Carrie and Camryn had different fathers, they shared the same mother. Moreover, their fathers were brothers. Despite the same Newman blood flowing in them, Carrie and Camryn were like enemies. Grandma May and Lilian returned to Wildridge Manor before the sky turned dark. Remy brought Elisa over too. The York brothers who were in Wiltspoon, save for Rowan still in school, came
