Camryn did not say anything.Aunt Evelyn patted the back of Camryn’s hand again before she said, “I’m going to help Dalton cook.”While speaking, Aunt Evelyn rose to her feet to head there. Something crossed her mind, and she sat down again. She asked concernedly, “Is Trenton still unwilling to meet you?”Camryn nodded her head.Aunt Evelyn sighed and spoke up for her nephew. “Trenton is in a difficult position. Don’t blame him.”Although Camryn was not wrong, it was hard for Trenton to accept that the sister he respected sent his parents and second sister to jail.“I don’t blame Trenton. He’s a good kid. I believe he’ll slowly get over it.”Aunt Evelyn reminded Camryn, “Mm. But you can’t leave him to hide outside all the time. Find time to meet him every day. Don’t let others seize the chance to win him over and incite him to turn against you.“Where’s Trenton staying now? Give me his address. I’ll go talk to him.”Camryn replied, “He’s staying in a classmate’s hometown in th
Camryn thought that Aunt Evelyn would take a rest instead of helping out since she just arrived. Nonetheless, Aunt Evelyn felt the need to keep herself occupied. She would not treat herself as a guest here, so Camryn let her help Dalton out. Aunt Evelyn asked about Dalton’s marriage in the kitchen. Once she learned that Dalton had gotten engaged, Aunt Evelyn was pleased and reminded him to invite her to his wedding.Dalton planned on inviting Aunt Evelyn to be the witness during their wedding ceremony.Camryn sat on the couch, listening to their conversation. Her mind had wandered over Callum.Callum had done so much for Camryn, yet he did not tell her.Was he planning to surprise her?Was it because if he let Camryn know that Dr. Carden could not make it now, he was worried that Camryn would think about it all the time and have high hopes? She would be extremely disappointed if the hope was gone.It could be both reasons.She recalled the time she met Callum until now.In th
Camryn was in a dilemma for days. When it was time for Aunt Evelyn to leave Wiltspoon, Camryn and Dalton sent her to the airport. After that, Camryn returned to the city center. “Cam, do you want to head home or to your shop?” Dalton asked after passing the freeway.After some thought, Camryn responded, “I’ll head to my shop first.”“Alright.”Dalton directly sent her back to her shop.When she returned to Spring Blossoms, a shop assistant was watching the shop, whereas the other assistant was out delivering a bouquet of flowers to a customer.“Cam, I need to get home now. Melissa keeps texting me to ask when I’m returning.”Camryn answered with a smile, “Hurry up and go home now. When you have no meetings to attend, you should spend more time with Melissa.”When there was a meeting with the top management, Dalton had to fly to Wiltspoon. He would sit beside Camryn and help her manage video meetings.“By the way, bring along a bouquet of flowers.”While speaking, Camyn was a
What was more, the sales of Camryn’s business had skyrocketed, so it was more profitable than before.Camryn left the shop with the bouquet of flowers.Previously, Callum requested that she send flowers to his office in person. Camryn had gone there several times, so she remembered the way. She could easily get to York Corporation without anyone’s help. On her way there, she did not call Callum to inform him.Upon her arrival, she waited at the entrance of the building instead of entering it.The timing coincided with two minutes shy of everyone getting off work. Some employees began to trickle out. Camryn was dressed in a white long dress. She was standing there while holding a striking bouquet of flowers. Coupled with her attractive looks, she resembled a fairy.Everyone in York Corporation was aware of her relationship with Callum. The employees walking out of the building would greet her, while those driving would press down the window buttons to do the same. Camryn woul
Knowing that Callum was not in the office, Camryn continued to wait at the entrance.Zachary said that Callum was on his way back.Camryn slightly regretted it. If she had known earlier that Callum was not in the office, she would call him in advance. However, she would not be able to surprise him in that case. Fortunately, Callum rushed over from Wiltspoon Hotel without keeping Camryn waiting for too long.On his way here, he was guessing why Camryn suddenly came to meet him.Zachary only told Callum that Camryn had come, but Zachary did not tell Callum why she came. Since Camryn left in Dalton’s car the other day, Callum had not met Camryn for several days. They did communicate with each other on the phone. Nevertheless, every time he called her, he was the one speaking, whereas she just acted as a listener.Callum was aware that Aunt Evelyn came to visit. He said that he wanted to visit Aunt Evelyn, but Camryn forbade him from doing so. Camryn said that she would like to sp
“Aunt Evelyn’s in-laws’ business will get better.”Callum had found out about the business belonging to Aunt Evelyn’s in-laws and asked someone to help them out. He believed that their business as well as living conditions would soon improve. “Hopefully.”Camryn knew that Aunt Evelyn’s family nearly went bankrupt, but luckily, her cousins were reliable. As a result of all their hard work, there was an improvement in their business, which helped relieve their financial stress.Of course, Camryn hoped that their business would bounce back or even reach greater heights.Aunt Evelyn’s family was nice. Good people should be rewarded.Sometimes, Uncle Irving would be unhappy that Aunt Evelyn put aside her family matters and ran around to ask about Camryn’s eye treatment. Even so, he would secretly provide a lot of financial assistance and ask around to look for better eye specialists.Uncle Irving was not related to Camryn, yet he could tolerate Aunt Evelyn running around for the sak
Callum did not even stop to think and replied, “It’s true. It’s absolutely true. It’s as true as a diamond can be!”He had been treating Camryn as his wife from the start.The Yorks’ men had always doted on their wives. There were no exceptions, with Callum’s parents and brothers as evidence. They were all infatuated with their wives. Sometimes, their parents would be lovey-dovey and show off their love in front of them. In their father’s eyes, their mother was of utmost importance, while Callum and his brothers were simply complimentary gifts. If they angered their father, they would only be scolded at most. If they were to make their mother angry, their father would snatch up a hanger immediately and chase after them. He would not even ask them for a reason. Dad said that even he could not bear to make Mom angry ever since she married into the York family. Who else would he beat up for having the guts to anger Mom if not them? Women who married into the York family were
Camryn did as told. Once she got out of the car, the bouquet she held was taken away by Callum and placed on the car seat. The next moment, her feet were off the ground. He lifted her by her waist and spun in circles. As he turned, he shouted, “I finally have a girlfriend and fiancée. I love you, Camryn!”Some employees of York Corporation had just exited the company. When they saw Callum, they instinctively stopped to watch the scene. Everyone laughed when they heard his elated cheer, and someone even started clapping. Camryn could listen to the clapping sounds growing louder. Were there many people watching them?Camryn felt embarrassed, but more so happy. Luckily, Callum did not reject her. He was simply too happy and could not believe she had accepted him and his feelings. That was why he did many questionable actions that puzzled her. At that moment, Camryn knew that Callum’s feelings for her had never changed. He never felt disgusted about her being a blind pers
However, they had heard that this man had previously pursued Imogen, and those who had a good memory and had seen Dylan before, had already recognized him.When Imogen seemed a bit interested, this man then said he did not love her and went to pursue someone else. After failing to win over that person, he backtracked to pursue their vice president once more. This behavior left many people with a bad impression of Dylan.What did he take their vice president for?It was worth noting that Imogen was the chairman’s niece and the president’s sister. The chairman treated his own daughter and niece the same, and in the Doyle family, she was very much favored by her elders. The Doyles were one of the top families in Huntington, and as part of it, Imogen did not have to worry about finding a husband.Dylan ignored the looks people gave him. His gaze fixed on the cars coming out of the Davidson Group building, afraid that if he blinked, Imogen would pass him by.He watched the employees le
Duncan called Serenity to inform her that he was taking Sonny to the Lewises’ for dinner and would send him back later. Naturally, Serenity had no objections. With her nephew being well taken care of by Duncan, Serenity had time to go shopping with Jasmine. Jasmine was buying baby supplies as she was eight months pregnant and it was high time to prepare for the baby’s arrival. Watching Jasmine pick up items for her baby made Serenity feel the itch, and she ended up buying a ton of stuff for both her baby and Sonny.In the evening, Zachary and Josh came to pick up their wives.They both managed to cancel their appointments, leaving the task of handling work engagements to Callum and other senior executives. The two men who were once the busiest had now become the ones who most enjoyed slacking off.“Why did you buy so much? Where’s Sonny?” Zachary asked as he walked toward Serenity when he got out of the car. He saw his wife and her bodyguards carrying a bunch of shopping bags. T
Olivia cursed Duncan one last time. “You won’t have a good ending bullying the weak!” she spat before she was pulled away by her husband.Duncan watched them leave, his expression cold. “Dunc, don't be angry. My grandmom is always like that. When Lucas wanted my toys before, I cried and refused to let him take them. My mom wouldn’t let him either, but she always scolded my mom. I still remember that.”Sonny could vaguely remember some things from when he was two years old. It had only been a little over two years since then, after all.As he comforted Duncan, he gently touched Duncan's face, speaking softly, “Aunt Ser says we shouldn’t get too angry. If we get too angry, we’ll grow old faster. I don’t want you to get old, Dunc. I want you to stay just like this forever.“Dunc, please don’t be mad anymore. I won’t eat the fried chicken my grandmom buys for me anymore.”Duncan could not help but feel both amused and heartbroken for both Sonny and Liberty, who had been mistreated b
“I don’t want to. I want to be with Dunc.”Sonny did not want his grandmother to carry him. He turned to Olivia and said, “Aunt Lili treated me when I was sick and she said my throat got infected because I ate fried chicken, and that’s why I had a fever. She told me not to eat fried chicken anymore.“Aunt Ser also said that when I feel better, she’ll fry it for me herself. It’s safer than the fried chicken bought from outside, but I still can only eat a little bit, not too much.“Grandmom, I don’t want to eat fast food bought from outside anymore. You guys shouldn’t blame Dunc. He’s really good to me and if you scold him, I won’t like you anymore.”Sonny did not really have any affection for his grandparents. They had always taken his cousin Lucas’s side. Whatever toys he had or food he liked, Olivia would take them away to give to Lucas. He did not like Lucas, and he did not like Grandmom either. Even though his grandparents were nicer to him now, Sonny still spent very little t
Olivia immediately retracted her hand when she saw Duncan’s cold glance. Not daring to forcefully take Sonny from him, she awkwardly smiled and said to Duncan, “Mr. Lewis, can we have a word with Sonny?”“You can ask Sonny. If he’s happy to, that’s fine,” Duncan said coldly, giving Luke’s bag a glance before addressing both of them. “Mr. and Mrs. Brown, Sonny had a fever yesterday, which the doctor said was due to a throat infection. You two took him to eat a lot of fried chicken and fries that day, which caused the infection.“Today, you brought him more fast food. If Sonny eats that, he might have a fever again. Please try to avoid giving him such heavy foods in the future.”Olivia immediately became anxious, reaching out to touch Sonny’s forehead. “Has Sonny recovered from the fever? Are you still feeling unwell? Why didn’t you take a day off from preschool?“It’s fine to do that, you know. There’s no need to rush back to school. Plus, Sonny doesn’t eat much. We did take him to
“I don’t understand what Liberty is thinking, leaving Sonny in Wiltspoon. When she got Sonny’s custody, she should have taken him with her,” Olivia muttered.She really wanted her son to file another lawsuit and regain custody of Sonny, but out of consideration for Sonny’s future, she could not do that. Plus, her son would not listen to her anyway.“Liberty went to Jensburg. She’s probably still dealing with a lot of trouble over there and we don’t understand the situation. If she could, she would have taken Sonny with her. She values Sonny’s education a lot, and Sonny has been well-educated under her care,” Luke spoke more objectively.Although he did not like Duncan, he could see that Duncan really cared for Sonny. Sonny was very attached to Serenity because she had raised him. That was natural, and it probably had nothing to do with whether Duncan was a good stepfather or not. Luke did not say this out loud to avoid being scolded by his wife for siding with Duncan.“Here comes
Moreover, Patrick was still alive, and he had been Tiara’s assistant. Plus, the crime of Belinda killing her sisters to rise to power had been exposed to the world and no matter how one thought about it, it was impossible for Belinda's children to take over the position.“Dad, I just can’t accept it! I just don’t agree! Even if I can’t get the position of the head of the family, Liberty can forget about taking away our positions in Fisher Enterprise!“And if Caroline doesn’t divide the huge fortune left by Mom with us, she can forget about taking it all. If worse comes to worst, I’ll go down with her. If I die, my children can inherit Mom’s fortune, but Caroline’s unmarried and childless! She stands to lose the most if she dies.”Adrian stood up and turned to leave once he finished speaking. It was clear he did not want to continue the conversation with his father and did not want to listen to his advice.Justin and Jason looked at each other, then at their father, who was tremblin
The older generation of the Fisher family had indeed accepted the gifts sent by the Clark brothers. They felt that they had been mistreated by Belinda, so they viewed the benefits given by Belinda’s sons as compensation from her. However, they had not agreed to do what the Clark brothers wanted—to solicit their support. Without concrete evidence, what could the Clark brothers do to them? Besides, it was quite normal for juniors to give their elders gifts during the holiday season, was it not?Hunter could not help but slap his son’s arm. He scolded, “How many times have I told you, and you still won’t listen? My words just go in one ear and out the other.“Though you lot and Caroline are siblings, you’re still Clarks, not Fishers. The Fisher family’s rules have been in place for over a hundred years and won’t change just because of you. If they could change, it would have happened long ago. Do you really think it would have taken this long?“Those old fogies are from the Fisher fa
At the sound of a car, Hunter, who was sitting in the yard basking in the sun, instructed the helper who was taking care of him, “Go outside and see if the young master is back.”The helper went out. Soon, Hunter saw his three sons walking toward him one after another.Seeing this, Hunter could not help but furrowed his brow, feeling a headache coming on as he pinched the space between his brows. He suddenly understood why his late wife would become so impatient and frustrated with their sons—they were really troublesome.He had tried to reason with them, advising them to preserve their strength, to stop hoping to stay on at Fisher Enterprise, and to return here where they could still live well, but they simply refused to listen.When they accompanied him back to Ashford during Christmas, he thought they had come to their senses, but when the new year started and Fisher Enterprise resumed operations, they eagerly hurried back.It made Hunter so angry that he scolded them at home f
