Grandma May simply had too many grandsons. “No. Nana didn’t say anything bad about you. You shouldn’t think of Nana that way.”Camryn flashed a smile at Grandma May as she spoke to Callum. Grandma May deliberately raised her voice. “Callum loved wetting the bed when he was young, Camryn. He still did it even when he was five or six years old. He always said he was looking for a bathroom in his dreams and only cared about relieving himself once he found one.”“Nana!” Callum yelled into the phone. “I, I was still a kid at that time.”Callum defended himself. Well, out of all the York boys, he did wet himself the most. The others no longer wet the bed after their first steps and syllables. They would use the bathroom before bedtime and sleep soundly through the night. On the other hand, Callum had to drink water before he slept, but he would not go to the bathroom. Therefore, he often wetted the bed. Nevertheless, five or six years old was still a child. It was not as
Of course, Camryn loved her husband. She said, “You should go on with your work. I’ll accompany Nana on a stroll to unwind. She got embarrassed by someone’s comment earlier.”Grandma May was speechless. Callum burst out laughing. However, he knew not to ask what comment it was. He did not want his nana to expose more of his embarrassing stories. After the call ended, he put his phone down and took a few sips of tea. Before he could place the cup back on his desk, someone knocked on the door. Callum said, “Come in.”Dylan marched in through the door. When Callum saw him, he put the cup on the table and smiled faintly. “Well, well. To what do I owe this pleasure?”“Ah, you’ve wounded me, Callum. I’m your brother.”Dylan walked over and sat opposite Callum. They were born to the same mother. Callum chuckled. “Is that so? I guess you want my help. Otherwise, I won’t even see you around. Even River drops by to visit me sometimes.”All three of Rosella’s sons had started wor
“There are too many!” Dylan exclaimed.Callum snapped, “Do you still think we’re free? You’re the only one who’s relaxed here. Zachary and I can’t even have a moment’s rest.”“I’m not free. I’m busy too.”“I don’t see you being busy.”Dylan was speechless. Of course, his brothers could not see him being busy. He was not even working at the headquarters. Well, it was his fault for running his mouth and saying he was bored. Why did he not just reveal his reason for being there?“Zachary has it worse,” said Callum.Zachary was the core of York Corporation. Although he did not need to oversee minor things, he still had to handle many major tasks. York Corporation was huge, and his to-do list was packed every day. He had endless meetings and business engagements. Before Zachary and Callum married their wives, they often attended events until late at night. Getting home before eleven at night was considered early for Zachary in the past. After getting married, their priorit
Dylan said, “There are times when I have to seek my sisters-in-law’s help because you and Zachary aren’t good at certain things.“Serenity has gone to FC Manor, while Hayden hasn’t married into the family. I’m not close to Hayden either. On the other hand, Camryn is the wife of my biological brother. Can’t I seek her help sometimes?”To be specific, Serenity was his cousin’s wife. Camryn was his actual sister-in-law. Dylan scoffed. “Camryn doesn’t know the woman you like. She hasn’t even met her before and won’t be of help to you. You shouldn’t disturb her. You can share your problems with me. If I think Camryn can be of help, then I’ll inform her.”“It’s not about my little fox. It’s Sugar. Camryn knows her. They probably still keep in touch. That girl gets friendly with someone really quickly. She became close to Serenity and Camryn. I feel like she’s thick-skinned and an expert at mooching off someone. Callum took a while to recall who Sugar was after searching his brain’s da
Dylan scanned through a document but did not sign it immediately. Instead, he closed the folder, meaning he would not handle it right away. He was talking about something that required his full attention. If not, he would get into trouble and be beaten up by Callum. “Callum, I realized Sugar and my little fox share similar body language.Dylan finally got to the topic. He was there because of Chameleon Fox. She was the only one who could make him endure his brothers’ eye-rolls to ask them questions. That girl had hidden herself again. He could not find her despite searching everywhere in Wiltspoon. Dylan had never felt as defeated as he was throughout his thirty years of living.However, Fox had given him a taste of frustration again. “So what? Do you suspect that Sugar is your little Fox? Besides, wasn’t she the girl who came to the company last time?”Callum remembered how that girl looked. He could recall her face only because she was looking for Dylan. She was
“Do you think you can successfully pursue her?”Callum said, “If you fail, you should consider going for Ms. Doyle as Nana had arranged previously. Since she chose Ms. Doyle, it means Ms. Doyle is a good match for you.“You only tried pursuing her for two or three months. Feelings don’t develop that quickly. I don’t think we’ll ever fall in love with someone at first sight. We’re probably the type to grow feelings only after spending a good amount of time with that person.“Did you think I fell in love at first sight with Camryn? That didn’t happen. I approached her because I was curious about the woman Nana had arranged for me. I wanted to know what aspects of her caught Nana’s eye and why she was compatible.“I paid a lot of attention to her as I was curious. I realized her qualities as time passed and unknowingly gave her my heart.“It was the same as Kevin as well. On the other hand, Zachary fell in love with Serenity only after marrying her and spending lots of time with her.
Someone had returned alongside Anthony. He was Silver’s best student, Hawk.He was about the same age as Duncan.Hawk was a serious person. Anyone his sharp gaze targeted would start trembling. “Here’s the evidence Mr. Patrick had gathered, Mom. I found it where he said he kept it.”Anthony handed the evidence to Audrey. She did not look at it immediately but passed it to Patrick first. Patrick had kept the evidence well. All writings were still visible despite it being decades old.“Can you confirm if this is the correct item, Uncle True?” Audrey asked gently. Patrick put on his glasses before taking and opening the box. He checked its contents. He said, “This is the evidence I collected. It isn’t much, but it can be used to put Belinda on the suspect list.”He returned the box to Audrey and said, “Have a look, Drey. Do you think this will be enough?”Audrey looked through the letters, photos, and other items in the box. She told him, “Regardless of whether this is enoug
“It’s been arranged for Dr. Carden to come over in two days and accompany us to Jensburg,” Audrey said. “With her around, we’ll feel a little more at ease too.”Patrick was simply too old. The others worried that the stress of traveling such a distance would leave him breathless and that he would then pass on, just like that. They felt a bit more reassured if Lilian or Doc accompanied them.“Dr. Carden often has to travel to treat patients. Seren won’t suspect a thing if she leaves for a few days.” Audrey continued, “If Seren weren’t pregnant, we wouldn’t be hiding this from her either.”“The baby is more important. It’s better to keep this from her.” Patrick also approved of everyone keeping Serenity in the dark, especially after learning Serenity only managed to get pregnant after a year into her marriage. It was not easy for her to conceive and there was a lot of pressure on her. If she knew it was time for the final showdown in Jensburg, she would definitely be unable to stay pu
