Looking at the money, Carrie estimated the total to be less than a thousand dollars.She was so angry that she immediately called Camryn and scolded her. “What do you mean by this, Camryn? I asked you to give me money. You shouldn’t insult people like this! Are you trying to wave off a beggar? Even beggars would disdain the money you gave.”Camryn said coldly, “Didn’t you ask me for money for food? That’s exactly it. Ten cents is money too. If you count the money, it should all add up to about a thousand plus dollars. Even a fast food meal should only cost around ten or twenty dollars. It’s enough for you to eat for a while.“And if you buy groceries and cook for yourself, it might last you a bit longer.“This is the loose change we managed to come up with after my mother-in-law mobilized all the people in the entire manor and emptied their wallets of small change. You should thank her. If it were up to me, I wouldn’t have cared if you had money to buy food or not. My mother-in-law

“Mom and Dad are so good to me that I want to have a child as soon as possible. I can tell that they really like kids and really want grandchildren,” Camryn said as she rubbed her stomach.Both of them knew it was harder for her to get pregnant, so Callum was especially vigorous at night.If she were a healthy woman, coupled with Callum’s vigor, she probably would end up like Jasmine, who got pregnant just one month after getting married.“There’s no rush. We’re still young too, and we haven’t even had a wedding yet. We should work on taking care of our bodies for now and spend some time together, just the two of us. Let them envy us.”Callum was really not in a rush to have kids.Even if Camryn was perfectly healthy, he had no plans to have kids too early. The earliest he would consider kids would be one year after marriage.“Honey, I’m not afraid of you scolding me for this, but seriously, small kids aren’t fun to have around. Other people’s kids might look cute, but if you’re

Martin shifted to a new spot and even patted the one beside him, gesturing for his son to sit.Callum sat down and took a look at the large brocade box before his mother. He asked softly, “Dad, what has Mom dug out for my wife this time?”“It’s a set of jewelry from her dowry. They’re vintage. Your mom wore them once when she was young and put them away after. She took them out because she suddenly remembered them. That set suits your wife quite well because she’s tall and has a naturally dignified aura, she’ll be able to pull it off.”Callum smiled. “Mom’s already given quite a few sets of jewelry from her dowry to Camryn, and now she’s giving more? I have two younger brothers. Mom will have two more daughters-in-law in the future, you know.”Of course, he was glad that his mother was willing to give valuable things to Camryn, but he thought she should leave some to his two future sisters-in-law, lest they say that his mother was biased, which would be bad for the family’s harmony

Martin chimed in, “Your mum has me to pick her up. You don’t need to.”“Alright, alright. We’ll each bring our own wives home.”Once Camryn and Rosella were done with the dinner, Callum would take Camryn home and stay far away from his mother to avoid her hogging his wife all to herself.He and his wife had just gotten married and were still in their honeymoon phase. He could not bear being apart from her even for a second and wished he could be with his wife 24/7.Even his secretary had pointed out that after he married, the amount of networking dinners he went for had lessened greatly.Of course, married men should put their families first and go straight home after work to spend time with their wives.Zachary too had stopped going out to network at night as much.“Come here, Camryn. I’ll help you put on the jewelry. Let me see if I was right.”Rosella could not be bothered with those two overly doting men and picked up the necklace to put it on Camryn.Camryn said, “Mom, yo

“Alright, stop pouting. People who don’t know what happened would assume I wronged you or something.”Camryn wrapped her arms around Callum’s neck and kissed him.His wife was taking the initiative to kiss him, so of course, Callum would not be reserved about it. He hugged her soft body tightly and they kissed for a while before he let her go.When his gaze fell on the jewelry she was wearing, he said sourly, “You rarely wear the jewelry I give you but you haven’t taken off the jewelry Mom gave you since you put it on. My mom’s jewelry is all amazing. My gifts can’t compare to hers.”Camryn pinched his cheeks, amused. “That’s your mother—your biological mother—who gave me jewelry, and you’re still jealous? I was going to refuse it earlier but you told me to accept it. Now, you’re being such a sourpuss. What do you want me to do?”Callum scowled and stayed silent.He just was jealous.He felt like anyone could take his place in his wife’s eyes.“Or should I take it off right now
