Callum wanted to pick Camryn up from the airport, but she did not let him and rode in a car with her bodyguards instead. She told him not to worry about her and let her be independent as she had already regained her sight. Callum listened to his wife. In fact, he was also busy at that time. Since Camryn did not need him to pick her up, he went home and waited for her after work.The dining table was filled with her favorite dishes he had prepared. Although Camryn had eaten on the airplane, she was hungry again when she arrived home. Her house was far from the airport. The rain had stopped, but the ground was wet, and the sky remained gloomy. The temperature now was lower than this morning. Callum exited the house when he heard the sound of a car. When he saw Camryn getting out of the car, he walked down the stairs with a smile. “You’re back, honey. Must’ve been a long trip.”Camryn had lived where her company was for several days. She was indeed exhausted. Since Dalto
Camryn could not help but laugh. “If Mom and Dad heard that, they’d be heartbroken and call you heartless. What do you mean they don’t care about you? They treat me so well precisely because they do.”Her in-laws treated her well, but that was because they loved their son. She was their daughter-in-law and they wanted their son’s little family unit to be happy. Camryn thought to herself that God was not that unfair after all. After being abused for over twenty years, she was finally given some warmth by being allowed to marry Callum and gaining in-laws who doted on her like she was their own.She no longer had to worry about being ravaged by the storms for the rest of her life. Her in-laws would back her up and shelter her. For this, she was particularly grateful to Grandma May. She did not know what she had done for Grandma May to take a liking to her when she was still blind and choose her for Callum.She was also grateful to Callum for never looking down on her when she was blind
“Your winter break started so early.” Camryn appraised Trenton and saw that he had not lost weight. He looked sturdier and a little more mature than before. She was satisfied with the changes the university had made to him.“Yeah, the moment winter break started, I immediately packed up and took the train home. When I got here I saw your car, so I asked the housekeeper and they said you just got back from a work trip. Everything’s fine, right, Camryn?” Trenton had a share in Newman Enterprise but he trusted Camryn and was only asking casually. He still did not understand business and had no experience, so he would not ask much.“Everything’s fine. It’s good that you’re back. Let’s wash our hands and eat. I just got home too.”Trenton greeted Callum once more. Minutes later, Callum served some food to his beloved wife before asking Trenton, “Are you not planning to find a part-time job during your break? You’d be able to gain some experience and earn some pocket money.”Trenton wa
Camryn said, “I think you’d better work at Newman Enterprise. You have a share in it too. You can work there while on break from university and gain some work experience. Once you graduate, if you don’t plan to further your studies, you can start from the bottom. It’ll be a good, early exposure to experience the hardships of work.”York Corporation had very high standards. Even the younger York lads could not start working at the headquarters right off the bat when they freshly graduated. Camryn did not want her brother to use Callum to get into York Corporation. Others would talk and it would not be fair to others either, though the world was not fair in the first place. It was better for her to let Trenton work at Newman Enterprise. After all, Trenton had a share in it.“Didn’t you say it’ll be Christmas soon? What if he can’t get a train ticket home when the time comes?” Callum looked like he wanted Trenton to stay in Wiltspoon but was internally looking forward to him going to
“Once I’ve found her and made sure she’s alright, I’ll start work. Once Christmas break starts, I’ll come back. You don’t have to get someone to pick me up. I’ll just book my ticket in advance.” Trenton felt that now that he was an adult, he could take care of himself while away from home and did not need his sister to take care of him at all times.Camryn hummed in agreement. “Apart from the company’s upper management, the regular employees don’t know who you are. If you don’t say who you are, no one will say anything. Work hard, talk less, do as much as you can, observe how others do it, and learn.”“Okay.” Trenton had met the company’s upper management before. After all, he was his parents’ only son. They had transferred all their remaining assets to him after being fined. He owned a share now.However, he was still studying and normally did not have to concern himself with the business, so the ordinary employees did not know him. He was going to join Newman Enterprise as an erra
Camryn stopped and looked around. After making sure there was no one in the vicinity, she hooked an arm around Callum’s neck and kissed him. She wanted to give him a deep kiss as soon as she got home, but not long after she did, her little brother arrived, so she could not do so.Callum wanted it more than she did and immediately wrapped his arms around her, deepening the kiss. After their lips parted, Callum whispered into her ear, “This isn’t enough, honey. This is just an appetizer.”“Trenton’s at home… Let’s talk about it later tonight,” Camryn whispered back.“He’s at home, but he won’t barge into our room. Once we get back later, we’ll head upstairs if he’s on the first floor. If he’s gone upstairs, we’ll just lock our room door. He’s smart enough not to just come and knock on our door. I can’t wait until tonight. I’m ravenous.”Camryn was speechless. She pushed Callum away with a red face and continued walking on her own. The cold wind blew some heat away from her face.Kno
Then again, Paige and Cain were the ones who had caused all of this so they could only regret and blame themselves for it! Camryn laughed. “My mood would be beautiful if theirs were foul. Alright. I’ll go visit them with Trenton tomorrow. No matter how you look at it, one’s still my uncle, and the other my mother—of course I have to go see them. The less they want to see me, the more I’m going to visit.”Callum said, “Then I’ll ask Zachary for the day off tomorrow to drive you guys there. I’ll visit too.”Paige would probably be driven crazy with anger. Her beloved daughter had not married Callum, but the daughter she hated became the apple of his eye. Callum did not want them to be in a good mood after all they had done to hurt Camryn, despite them having received their punishment. To drive them up the wall and frustrate them was exactly what he wanted.Camryn did not refuse. The couple walked a lap around their yard before returning to their house. Trenton was still on the first
Camryn laughed. “What do you want to eat? I’ll ask Callum to make it for you.”“I like everything he makes.”“That won’t do, then. He cooks as long as he’s home. Our chef worries every day that Callum's going to replace him.”Trenton laughed heartily. “You’re so lucky, Camryn.”If Camryn had not married Callum, Trenton would never have known how good all the York men were at cooking.“I think I’m really lucky too.”It would be even better if they could have a baby earlier, but Camryn did not say this aloud. Besides, Dr. Carden had said that she would be able to get pregnant naturally in two years’ time. There was no need to worry and all she had to do was wait. Their baby would definitely come to them if it was fated.“You’re up, honey? Wash your hands and let’s eat.” Callum called out from the kitchen.“Coming.” Trenton went to help serve the food.After dinner, Trenton said, “Camryn, I’m thinking of looking for Carrie and seeing how she’s doing.”“Did she answer your call?”
