Camryn looked toward her future mother-in-law. Rosella could see through her thoughts. She tapped Camryn’s forehead and said, “Don’t look at me like that. I like you regardless of your health or fertility status. If I didn’t, I would’ve stopped Callum from wooing you. I wouldn’t have let your relationship progress this far.“When I first found out about you, you were still blind. I was aware that your aunt has been searching for a cure for your eyes for a decade but to no avail.“We’ll accept you however you are as long as Callum is happy.”Camryn was touched. She said, “Thank you for letting me experience the warmth and love a family can bring.”Rosella adored Camryn as she would a biological daughter. “Who else will I love if not my daughter-in-law? Don’t feel burdened, Camryn. Trust Dr. Carden and us.”Camryn nodded vigorously. She believed in them. The three women chatted as they walked toward the main house where Callum was waiting for them. The gifts were placed in

Callum only did nothing because Dalton never confessed his love to Camryn and married someone else. The way Dalton looked at Camryn was calm too.“Why aren’t you saying anything? Do you still think Dal’s your rival?”Callum quickly denied it. “No. I was simply saying. He’s already married anyway. I trust that he treats you like a sister, but you should maintain a healthy distance since you two aren’t biological siblings and he has a wife.“Let me know if you face any difficulties. I’ll solve them for you. Let’s not trouble Dal unnecessarily, he’s already helping out at the company significantly.”Only when Camryn saw Callum’s unwavering gaze that she believed him. She said, “I was blind, and he has worked in the company for a long time. He was Uncle Cain’s right-hand man too. That’s why I’m heavily relying on him when it comes to the company.“Now that I’ve regained sight, I’ve familiarized myself with the business after six months. I handle whatever I can and refrain from going t

Before Callum could speak, Camryn continued, “But I can tolerate it because it’ll heal my eyes.”It was a prescription by Dr. Carden, something sought after by many but only few had the opportunity to receive. Camryn was fortunate to have been treated by Dr. Carden, all thanks to Callum. “It’ll get better, Camryn. Everything will get better. You won’t have to take those bitter medicines anymore in the future.”Callum was well aware her medicines tasted bitter. The strong smell would fill the room whenever he prepared it for her, so he could only imagine how it would taste.Every dose, though, would come with a candy for Camryn to neutralize the bitterness.“It’s always darkest before dawn.”Camryn’s words made Callum laugh. His precious girl exuded self-confidence and self-love. He could not love her more than he already had.“You’re here, Callum, Camryn. Why have you come bearing so many gifts again? We have everything. Don’t buy anything next time.”Sasha walked over with

Callum helped himself and served everyone refreshments. He studied the chessboard and said, “I think this was a deliberate move by Aunt Sasha. With your current skills, you won’t figure out where to place that chess piece even after another day.”Simon was terrible at chess. His face fell. He glared at Callum. No matter how much he sucked at chess, it was no fun to be teased by his nephew as he had some dignity to preserve.Callum chuckled. He looked toward Sasha for help to escape Simon’s deadly stares. He was merely stating facts. Upon receiving Callum’s S.O.S., Sasha told her husband, “Keep it away. We can wrap this game up another day.”“I’d rather not play against you. Callum can do it in your stead. And Callum, stay at the manor this weekend and don’t make other plans. Let’s play a few games together. Otherwise, I’ll nag you to kingdom come.”Callum quickly begged, “Sorry, Uncle Simon. I was wrong. You’re exceptionally good at chess. You’re a chess maestro, the best

Camryn was not afraid of Carrie but the person hiding behind her. They still could not identify the person with the last name Gordon. “Let me know if you need any help.”“There’s no need to trouble all of you to deal with Carrie. I can handle this myself. I just can’t find out the identity of the person she contacted right after coming out of prison.“Callum said he’d ask Zachary to request Mr. Julian’s assistance to investigate that person. We’re just worried about being blindsided if they launch an ambush because we don’t know who they are.”Serenity said, “I’ll let Jasmine know, and she’ll relay the message to Josh. You don’t have to worry about this.”“Thank you.”“Small matter. I hope we all can live in peace.”Camryn smiled. She said, “No one’s life can always be smooth sailing. There are always bound to be challenges.”“You’re right.”Serenity stared at the sky and said softly, “I feel like a change is beckoning.”“Well, it’s late fall now. The seasons are changing.
