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?”
Trenton would take his driver’s license exam during his next summer vacation. Now, whenever he went out, he would either take a taxi or get his family’s driver to drop him off.Camryn arranged for the driver to send Trenton to see Carrie. Once they left, Camryn arranged for someone to secretly follow her brother and find out exactly where Carrie was living. Camryn did not believe Carrie did not have a permanent residence. If she really were doing that badly, she would have come to make a fuss a long time ago.Even if Camryn was not in Wiltspoon, with Carrie’s temperament, she definitely would have gone to make a fuss at Wildridge Manor. There was no way she would stay quiet.Half an hour later, Trenton arrived at the bustling street by Grand Wiltspoon Square. It was a popular place for a walk after dinner, which made the already busy street even livelier. The driver stopped in front of Starbucks.As Trenton got out, he said to the driver, “I’ll get myself home. You don’t have to wa
Carrie patted her own face and said, “I didn’t put on any makeup either. I don’t even have the money to buy makeup now.”She was still recuperating and it had only just been a few days, so even if Mrs. Douglas made her good food every day, she had not made a full recovery.Trenton looked at Carrie for a moment, and said, “You’re only in your early twenties. You don’t need makeup and you’re naturally beautiful.”Carrie was speechless. Trenton was almost definitely a straight man. No matter how young Carrie was, she still needed makeup and skincare. Before her parents went to jail, she only used the most expensive skincare brands. It felt weird not to use it even for just a day.“Have you eaten, Carrie?” Trenton asked.“Not yet. Where would I get the money to eat? I should just starve to death. I don’t have parents to dote on me anymore and my brother’s taken the outsider’s side anyway,” Carrie said with deliberate anger.“Carrie, Camryn isn’t an outsider. She’s our older sister, w
If they saw Carrie as a bad person, then were they good people? If Camryn was a good person, she should have been generous enough to let bygones be bygones and given Carrie all her parents’ assets.“Carrie, that’s not what I mean. I don’t. To me, both you and Camryn are my sisters. I just think you need to be independent, stand on your own two feet, and know how to judge the situation. “We can’t live under our parents’ protection forever. They can’t help us now, so we have to rely on ourselves. Camryn isn’t as malicious as you think she is. If she really were ruthless, you wouldn’t be sitting here cursing her out right now.“Camryn hasn’t stolen our assets either. She’s just taken back what Uncle Abel left for her, and according to the law, she’s entitled to a portion of Mom’s assets too. She is her biological daughter, after all.“I’m still studying at the moment and I can’t focus on managing the company and our business. That’s why I asked Camryn to help me with it. I trust she
“You should buy nutritious food with the money I gave you to maintain your health.”Trenton felt terrible for Carrie. However, he could not give her too much money. Carrie would spend them all indiscriminately. Moreover, she was not that bright and was easily influenced by two of their aunts. Therefore, Trenton had to control her spending and provide her with only enough money. He would not give her an extra penny even if she scolded her. Their parents had also told him not to give Carrie too much. They knew her better than he did. “I know. Do you think I don’t know how to care for my own body?”Carrie added, annoyed, “You should treat me to a good meal.”“Where do you want to eat?”“Since you’re in-laws with the Yorks, why don’t you take me to Wiltspoon Hotel? Will it be on the house?”Trenton said, “It’ll probably be on the house if I tell Callum, but I don’t want to do that. I can treat you to a meal without taking advantage of Callum.“I’m not sure if there are se
From how Trenton saw it, their parents loved Carrie the most. They only gave him their assets because he told them about her outrageous spending behavior. With Aunt Brenda and Aunt Amy keeping an eye on her, he was also worried that Carrie would get tricked. Therefore, their parents decided to listen to him and let him inherit everything to protect their assets. “Out of everyone in the family, I’ve only been meeting up with you. If you keep mentioning our parents, telling me what to do, and quarreling with me, then I’ll stop contacting you. I can’t be any more miserable than I am now anyway.”With Mr. Longbottom as her backer, Carrie also had all the money she needed. As long as she carried out the tasks he assigned her well, she would have more than enough savings even if he were to abandon her afterward. She did not need her family. Trenton thought Carrie was beyond saving. He did not want to persuade her anymore as they would always end up quarreling. He quietly paid th
