The company was hectic, and Sugar had been away a lot recently. Her sisters were starting to voice their concerns. The one who did know the real reason she was away had not pressured her to return. However, she could not stay away for too long either as a lot of work awaited her.Grandma May smiled. “If it’s good, you should eat more and stay a few more days.”“Grandma May, I’m busy with work. I came to see my master because he was here, but now that he’s gone, I have to go back to work.”The old lady held her hand, “Let me call your home and see if you can stay in Wiltspoon for a few more days.”Sugar was speechless for a moment. “Grandma May, I’ll come back to visit during the Christmas holidays. I really can’t stay any longer. I only came today because Camryn wore me down to come over and keep her company.”It felt like Grandma May knew who she was. Sugar recalled her behavior and mannerisms at Wildridge Manor and was sure she had not revealed her true identity. Only her master
Sugar had just reached the entrance of the second courtyard when she saw Camryn exiting.“Sugar.” Camryn smiled, “I heard you arrived a while ago and was wondering why I hadn’t seen you yet. I guessed you must have gone to see Aunt Tania, so I was just about to look for you.”Sugar replied, “Since Grandma May was at home, I had to go and greet her first. I spent some time chatting with her before coming here.”She stepped forward, affectionately linking her arm with Camryn’s as she glanced inside, asking, “Dylan isn’t home, is he?”“Why? Are you looking for him?” Camryn looked at her with suspicion.“No, it’s just that he always gives me the cold shoulder behind Grandma May’s back. I don’t want to run into him, lest he thinks I’ll just go along with whatever Grandma May wants. Who needs him? I have so many seniors and none of them would even dream of rejecting me.”Camryn immediately looked angry and said, “How could Dylan act like that? You’re a distinguished guest in our home.
Camryn explained, “I wanted to take a break. Doc advised me not to overwork myself, as my health will always be a bit poorer than others. I need to take good care of myself and especially avoid overworking and staying up late. Working at the flower shop isn’t tiring, but my sister likes to come to the shop and cause a ruckus. It’s really annoying, so Callum suggested I rest at home. There are still people tending to the shop. If I’m not there, my sister will come by, take a look, and leave.”Sugar said, “You’re too soft-hearted. If I were you, every time she came, I’d give her a good beating until she learned not to come back. With the way she treated you before, you shouldn’t hold back just because you’re sisters.”“I don’t have any lingering sisterly affection. She just shoots her mouth off. I can’t be bothered with her. I don’t need to drive her away; it’ll make her furious as long as I’m living well. She looks down on me the most and has never seen me as a threat. Now that I’m do
Sugar smiled. “I haven’t flown a kite in years. I think I haven’t done it ever since I was a child. I used to do it a lot as a kid.“Thanks to you, I guess I’m able to relive my childhood memories today.”Camryn passed Sugar a kite and said, “I rarely flew kites. When I was young, I was the only one without a kite, while my siblings had theirs. Although kites weren’t expensive, my uncle and mom never bought one for me.“The nanny who used to treat me well made one for me, but it couldn’t fly high. I still loved it, but I only managed to fly it a few times before Carrie spoiled it. I complained about it to my mom but got scolded instead. She also scolded my nanny and forbade her from making kites for me again.“I didn’t have many toys. I had some before I turned two, though. My dad bought me many fun toys and pretty dolls. My nanny said I loved the dolls. After my dad passed away, my mom gave out all my dolls.“As for Carrie, she was granted everything she wanted since birth. I was
“Okay.”Camryn brought Sugar outside.Sugar happily followed her. Meanwhile, Dylan, who had moved from the window to the staircase to eavesdrop on them, started getting anxious. Did Camryn forget about her task?She did invite Sugar over at his request, but she was bringing Sugar to fly a kite before he could even detect any similarities between Sugar and Fox. To make things worse, they were going to the grass field. Although there were trees around the field, and he could hide on top of the tree, he would be pretty far away from them. Even if he could see them flying their kites, he would not be able to spot details.Dylan was already mentally scolding Callum. How could he bring kites to Camryn immediately after she said the weather was windy and perfect for flying kites?Camryn and Sugar did end up flying kites. Dylan could not no longer spy on them from a hidden spot. He had to follow them outside. If he did, Sugar would keep her guard up and not expose any flaws.Ye
Sugar did not suspect that Camryn was lying to her. Camryn was only Dylan’s sister-in-law, and he was not a kid anymore. Which sister-in-law would pay attention to her brother-in-law’s whereabouts all the time?Dylan could have returned home late at night, and it was perfectly natural for Camryn to be unaware of that. “I came back at an ungodly hour last night, so I stayed home to get some sleep.”Dylan walked down the stairs toward Sugar and Camryn. “Ms. Sugar.”Dylan nodded at her politely.Since he did not know her name, he had no choice but to address her that way. Sugar was just her nickname. Maybe her parents had called her that because she was a sweet kid, and the nickname stuck.Sugar nodded back to return his greeting. Dylan looked toward Camryn. “Are you going kiting now?”“Yeah. I just mentioned it casually this morning, but your brother brought me two kites right away. Sugar and I are going to fly the kites while it’s still windy now.“There’s food in the
The way Sugar jumped off the tree resembled Chameleon Fox’s jump off the wall of his villa. Dylan frowned. Even then, he could not determine that Sugar and his little fox were the same person. He would have jumped off the tree the same way. However, he could still have his suspicions. “You’re incredible!”The children clapped. They were in awe of Sugar.Sugar smiled brightly. She handed the kite to the child and said, “I’m an expert at climbing trees.”When she lived with Silver in the secluded forest, there were nothing but trees and mountains around her. Therefore, she and Silver’s students frequently climbed the trees, which made them experts. Even Dr. Carden was good at climbing trees. Dylan watched Sugar’s beaming smile. He suddenly found her beautiful. Well, Sugar was a beauty from the start. She simply wore plain clothing. If she put some effort into dressing up, she would take people’s breaths away. Her mysterious aura made Dylan curious about her, mu
Meanwhile, at Stone Manor, Duncan had arrived a long time ago. The same went for Remy. His future in-laws were about to head to Jensburg. Elisa had wanted to follow them, but Audrey did not allow it. She said Elisa would not be of help even if she went to Jensburg and that her showy personality would make things worse. In truth, Audrey was afraid that they all would die if anything were to happen. Therefore, Elisa and Anthony were prohibited from going to Jensburg, let alone Alice with her young baby. Duncan kept reminding Audrey about things to look out for. He seemed depressed. Audrey knew what he was thinking. She consoled him, saying, “Liberty knows how you feel. She won’t blame you. If you stay home, she won’t have to worry about a thing and can focus on what she has to do.“You can wait for her return in Wiltspoon. Didn’t she say she’d head to the city hall to get a marriage license with you if it wasn’t closed when she’s back? Although you two won’t have a wedding
