At the Newman villa, Camryn went downstairs and sat on the sofa in the hall after Carrie was scared off by the dogs.Callum poured her a glass of water. She thanked him and put down the glass instead of drinking it.He went to prepare a fruit platter and plated some of Camryn’s favorite snacks and the various pastries that he personally made for her.He then served the food on the coffee table.Callum sat down next to Camryn and said, “Eat something.”“I’m not hungry.”Callum smiled gently. “Have some snacks. It’ll make you feel better.”“I’m in a good mood.”Callum caressed Camryn’s face and tapped her delicate nose. “Come on. This isn’t the first day we’ve met. I know you’re not in a good mood.”Camryn leaned on Callum’s shoulder and said, “I’m six years older than Carrie. When she was born, my mother was mean to me, but I was still happy to have a little sister.“Carrie was actually very cute when she was a baby. I loved her very much, but I felt disheartened every time I
Camryn said, “Carrie is my sister, but we behave like enemies... Now, the tide has turned. It’s Carrie’s turn to suffer. I have the ability to take revenge, but when I do, I don’t feel happy about it. On the contrary, I feel sad.”Callum was aware that Paige had made Camryn’s life a living hell but Camryn rarely shared about her past. Now that she had opened up to him about her childhood, he was livid at her family and felt extremely distressed.Seeing his fiancée’s silent tears, Callum hugged her tightly, letting her lean against him.“Camryn, let it out. You’ll feel better after a good cry.“Not all siblings love each other, and not all parents are caring. Some people don’t deserve to be parents. We can’t choose our parents and siblings, but we can choose to stay away from those ruthless people.”Camryn wanted to take a tissue, but Callum quickly wiped away her tears.She wiped her tears too. Her voice was hoarse from crying, but she regained her strength. “It’s all in the past
Callum was not satisfied with the fleeting kiss, so he hugged Camryn and kissed her passionately. After the kiss, Callum said, “I know you’re not a saint. I like your way of doing things. You’re just like me. We’re really meant for each other.”“You’re so thick-skinned.”“I won’t be able to have you in my arms if I’m not.”Camryn was speechless.When they heard footsteps, the couple let go of each other.The butler walked in and approached the couple, reporting respectfully, “Ms. Camryn, I have sent someone to follow Carrie. After she left, she borrowed the security guard’s phone to make a call.”The butler gave Camryn the phone number that was written on a piece of paper.“Carrie called this number. They didn’t chat for too long.”Camryn took the small piece of paper with Mrs. Clark’s new phone number written on it. She looked at it and asked, “Whose number is this? None of the Newmans use this number.”She raised her head and said to the butler, “Keep an eye on Carrie’s wh
Hearing this, Camryn looked up at Callum and asked with a smile, “Already? I heard Seren mention that Alice’s due date was next month. How did she already give birth so soon?”“The baby arrived two weeks before the due date, but he’s not premature.”“It’s still early. Why don’t we visit Alice before going back to the manor?”Audrey was Serenity’s aunt, so the Yorks and the Stones were considered relatives. Alice had just given birth, so they should go and visit her.“Alright.”Camryn stood up immediately and said, “I’ll prepare some gifts. By the way, I bought a few gold lockets a while back. Should I give it now or wait until they host the baby’s sip and see shower? I think I should buy a few sets of new clothes for the baby too.”“Just bring a simple gift and save the rest for the party. Why did you buy several gold lockets?”Camryn went to prepare some supplements as gifts and said, “Jas and Seren are both expecting, so I prepared a couple of lockets for the babies to welcome
“Alice.”Camryn smiled and walked to the bedside.Alice responded with a smile, “Hello, Camryn. Please have a seat.”Camryn pulled a chair closer to Alice and sat down.Alice watched her actions, momentarily forgetting to check on her crying son. She asked, “Camryn, can you see clearly now?”She knew Lilian had come to treat Camryn’s eyes, but she was not aware of the progress.She rarely went out during the later stages of her pregnancy and Clive seldom shared information about her with other people either.Alice vaguely remembered her sister-in-law mentioning that Lilian was confident in restoring Camryn’s vision, and she had responded that it was good news. They all felt sympathetic for Camryn, and they hoped she would regain her sight.“Yes, I can see things clearly up close, but things in the distance are still blurry. It’s like people with severe nearsightedness.”Camryn replied warmly and added, “Alice, you should lie down. Sitting for too long isn’t recommended during
“Dr. Carden is truly skilled. She was here before you both arrived but had to leave after less than ten minutes because she was very busy.”Lilian was Remy’s fourth sister-in-law. Elisa and Remy were a couple, and since the Stones and Johnsons would become in-laws in the future, Lilian wanted to visit Alice after hearing about her giving birth.“She is indeed busy, as she mentioned she had other patients to attend to.”Callum was filled with gratitude toward Lilian. Although Lilian credited her success to the previous doctor who was treating Camryn, claiming that Camryn’s eye condition was already half-treated and that she only needed to apply some medication for Camryn to fully regain her sight.Callum remained deeply appreciative.“Your wedding is around the corner, isn’t it?”“Yes, it’s getting closer.”Callum had a joyful smile on his face whenever their upcoming wedding was brought up.“When can Alice be discharged from the hospital?”“She had a normal delivery, so she ca
Three cars stopped at the entrance of the Stones’ villa.The leading car’s driver honked and soon, the butler came out to see what was happening.She opened one of the car doors and walked up to the window. The driver lowered the window at the right moment.“May I ask who you’re looking for?”The butler glanced at the occupants of the backseat. It was an elderly woman, but she did not recognize her.She had never seen her before. The butler was cautious about letting unfamiliar people in.The driver replied, “Our mistress heard that the missus had given birth and came specially to offer congratulations. Our mistress’s last name is Fisher.”“Fisher?”The butler was about to ask for more details but suddenly recalled Caroline and realized that Audrey’s last name was also Fisher. She began to understand and said, “Please wait for a moment. Let me check if our missus is available to see your mistress.”The driver looked at Belinda, and she nodded slightly. The driver then hummed i
Belinda examined Audrey closely, trying to find traces of her elder sister, Tiara Fisher.Apart from the aura, Audrey did not look like Tiara but rather her brother-in-law.The aunt and niece stood facing each other, locked in silent mutual gaze.After a long pause, Audrey calmly said, “Madam Fisher, please have a seat.”Belinda slowly walked toward Audrey and said, “You resemble my brother-in-law. Yes, you looked more like your father when you were young. Lisa looks more like my eldest sister.”“What do you mean by this, Madam Fisher?” Audrey inquired coldly.Belinda smiled and replied, “Drey, I believe there are many things you’re already aware of, the rumors circulating in Jensburg. You can’t possibly be oblivious to them.”Kevin stayed for quite a while in Jensburg.There were rumors about the two daughters of the previous Fisher matriarch in Wiltspoon.Even her own daughter, Caroline, secretly came to Wiltspoon to inquire about the situation.After half a month in Wiltsp
