He usually came home once a month.
Camryn and her mother did not tell him about the changes in the family since they did not want to affect his studies.
“If you want to stay here for a few days to avoid Mr. York, I’ll let my girlfriend know and have her fly over tomorrow to keep you company.”
He was a man, so it was inconvenient for him to take care of Camryn.
Moreover, since he had decided to be her brother figure, he had to keep a certain distance from her. He would help her with everything, not just with work.
After all, she could not see yet.
He was the one who helped her set up the video conference in the afternoon.
“There’s nothing going on between Mr. Callum and I,” Camryn hurriedly explained herself.
Duncan placed some food on her plate and looked at her for a long time before saying, “You were in your first year of middle school when I first met you, and it’s been fourteen years now. I know very well what kind of person you are.
“Although you seemed very busy and dedicated during the video conference, I can tell that you’re a little distracted. Your mind starts to wander as soon as you stop talking. I don’t know what happened between Mr. York and you, but when I saw him coming over, he was obviously jealous,
“He misunderstood our relationship, didn’t he? Then, he questioned you, you didn’t explain anything, and then you guys fought?”
Camryn paused from eating, then continued to eat as if nothing was wrong.
“We didn’t fight, Dal. We’re just ordinary friends. What’s there to explain? Stop asking. I’m fine. I was just thinking that Trenton is coming back. Will he hate me when he finds out about everything?”
In the Newman family, Camryn could not care less about her own mother, let alone her stepfather and half-sister. However, she cared about her younger brother.
Although she was always cold to him whenever he tried to care for her, her heart had long been melted by the warm man. She thought of him as her real family.
Trenton was different from Carrie. He treated her like a real sister and was extremely protective of her.
However, it was because he defended her that Carrie told her mother to send him to a boarding school after he started elementary school. He only came back once a week.
Now, he was in his third year in high school and could only come back once a month. He would have to take his college entrance exam soon. Camryn was afraid that the matters at home would affect him.
“He’s having his entrance exam soon.”
Camryn said softly, “He has good grades, so my uncle and mother both hope that he can get into Poltham University, but he said that he doesn’t want to go to a university that far. He wants to take the exam for Wiltspoon University and stay in Wiltspoon.
“He said he would be able to come back and see me often if he went to a local university.”
Dalton was well aware that of all the people in the Newman family, only Trenton Newman was a good person.
He thought about it and suggested, “Don’t tell Trenton the truth when he comes back this weekend. Just tell him that his parents and older sister went out on a trip together and tell him the truth when his entrance exams are over.
“I think Trenton is an understanding person. He’s seventeen now and knows how to tell right from wrong. After you explain everything to him, give him the choice to resent or hate you, if he wants to.”
After a moment of silence, Camryn agreed with Dalton’s suggestion.
When she was investigating her father’s cause of death, she knew that one day, her brother and her would stand on opposite sides.
younger
“Don’t think too much about it and eat first. Seafood doesn’t taste as good when it’s cold. I’ll send you back to the city after you finish eating.”
Dalton filled Camryn’s plate with more food and said, “You don’t want to tell me about you and Mr. York, but I’ll tell you the truth. If you have the chance, you have to grab onto him.
“The York family can be your backing. They won’t care about your family assets. I don’t believe that there’s another man who would approach you if not for your family fortune.”
Camryn said faintly, “I’m blind, Dal. I’m not a good match for Mr. Callum.”
“It doesn’t matter as long as his family and he doesn’t dislike you. Look at Mr. Zack York and his wife. They’re not well-matched either, but aren’t they lovey-dovey now?
“Don’t care about what others say. What’s important is that you two love each other.”
Camryn fell silent.
Dalton said everything that he should say. When he saw her remain silent, he knew that it was because she felt inferior.
If it were other men, perhaps Camryn would not feel unworthy just because she was blind. However, it was the second son of the York family they were talking about. The Yorks were the richest family in Wiltspoon, while all of the Newman family’s assets barely broke a billion dollars.
Furthermore, some of their assets might be seized. The lawful businesses that they were able to keep in the end might only amount to a few hundred million in assets.
It was not comparable to the hundreds of billions that the York family had.
Due to her own problems, Camryn developed a sense of inferiority and felt unworthy of Callum.
The two finished their meal and took a short rest, then Dalton drove his car and sent Camryn back to the city.
When he arrived in the city with Camryn, Callum and the others left the hotel.
Callum had a few drinks and did not drive. He borrowed a bodyguard from Zack to drive his car and went straight to the Newman villa after leaving the hotel.
He had a villa there anyway, so he could return to his villa to rest after going to the Newman family’s villa to find Camryn.
If she was not at home, he would go to her flower store.
Wiltspoon was large, but those were the only two places she could go.
He did not believe that he would not be able to find her tonight.
Serena carried the drowsy Sonny and said to Zack, “Babe, call Mrs. Lane and tell Liberty that I’ll take Sonny back today. I’ll have Jim send Sonny to class tomorrow morning.”
Liberty should be resting at this time.
Zack hummed and took out his phone to call Mrs. Lane, asking her to relay to Liberty not to worry and that they would bring Sonny home with them to rest today.
Mrs. Lane said, “Ms. Hunt has already gone to bed. She waited until nine o’clock but didn’t see you bring Sonny back, so she guessed that you would bring him home with you.”
“Okay. You rest early too.”
Zack hung up the phone and took Sonny from Serena.
Sonny opened his eyes, saw that it was his Uncle Zack, and called out to him softly before closing his eyes again. He leaned on Zack’s chest and fell asleep.
Zack’s heart melted at the child’s soft voice.
He really, really wanted a child too.
A child with Serena..
Their baby would surely be as cute as Sonny.
Zack’s heart looked forward to having a child, but he did not dare voice out for fear of putting pressure on Serena. She was already worried that she was infertile since she was unable to get pregnant even after half a year into their marriage.
If he said that he wanted a child, Serena would overthink again and ask him to go to the hospital together with him for another checkup..
Zack sighed in his heart.
He told himself, ‘Don’t rush, don’t rush.
‘We’ll definitely have a child of our own.
‘The psychic said that we’re destined to have a son and daughter.
‘He also said that it’ll only happen during fall.’
After getting into the car, Serena asked her husband, “Are you really going to introduce that psychic to Mr. Bucham?”
Zack adjusted Sonny’s position so that the boy could sleep more comfortably.
“Of course. Nana might be asleep now, so I’ll ask her for his contact tomorrow and pass it on to the head of the Bucham family, Walter. Then, he can ask the psychic to read Julian’s fortune.
That way, Julian could not run away.
If they gave the contact information to Julian, he might just throw it away.
“Do you think Mr. Bucham is telling the truth? Does he really have a condition?”
Zack thought about it and said, “It might be true, but it might also be an excuse. The only one who can prove it is the head of the Bucham family.”
He believed that Walter had already received the news.
There was nowhere for Julian to run.
