Every one of them loved sticking close to Callia.If Callia took Chester out to have fun, how could the other younger cousins possibly not follow along?Koben would definitely cling to Callia and refuse to leave her side.Callia was speechless.Chester said, “Chase, I think you just can’t stand seeing me happy. You’re jealous that I get to go out and play with Callie while you have to work and can’t go anywhere, so you’re deliberately saying this stuff to scare her!“Don’t worry, Callie. It’s fine even if they all come along. We all know martial arts, so we can protect you. The only troublesome one would probably be Koben.”Callia smiled awkwardly.She had said she wanted a summer vacation where she did not have to babysit kids, but she had spoken too quickly and mentioned taking Chester out to play. Once the other younger cousins heard about it, how could they possibly not want to tag along?By then, she would once again become the big sister in charge of babysitting everyone.

“You don’t have to be in such a rush to go back to the manor, either. In about two days, those cousins of yours will probably come over to visit for a few days. Don’t forget, Callie is here at the moment. Our cousins always go where she is during the holidays.”Chester pleaded, “Chase, what I mean is, can’t I have a relaxing holiday without any homework to do? It’s not entirely for our cousins.”Chase laughed. “I know, that’s why I’m telling you to stay at home. I’m the only one who’ll nag you about your studies here.”Callia finally chimed in, “Chase, you should stop scaring Ches. With his smarts, he definitely won’t fall behind as long as he studies hard once he starts middle school. He just went on break, so let him kick back and relax first.“Don’t put Ches through what Uncle Rowan endured.”Chester immediately bounded forward to hug Callia’s arm, smiling so very sweetly.“I always knew you would treat me the best, not like Chase. All he knows is to nag me to study and do my

Laurence had driven from Havenmill over to Satbury. The journey had taken more than two hours because the traffic in central Satbury was particularly bad.It was past seven o’clock in the evening now, which meant by the time he got back to his residence in Havenmill, it would be about ten.“Oh, is that so? Alright, then, I won’t make you stay.”Chase brought two bags filled with food and drink items over and handed one to Noelle as he said, “Noelle, this is from my mom and Callie to you. You have to take it.”Noelle looked hesitantly at Laurence.She had already eaten with everyone and did not feel right taking gifts from Isabella on top of that.Laurence said mildly, “Just accept Aunt Isabella and Callie’s thoughtfulness. Don’t make Callie sad.”It was only after he said this that Noelle accepted the bag and thanked Isabella and the rest.Chase handed the other bag to Laurence and said, “Laurence, you have one too. This bag’s yours. I don’t know what’s in there, all I know is

Noelle was dragged indoors by Callia.There was no one in the hall. Isabella was working upstairs in her study.She had not gone to her office that day, but there were still some things she had to handle. Her secretary would email it to her for her to do so.Meanwhile, Austin was in the kitchen, preparing dinner.There were guests tonight and his most beloved niece was here. He had to prepare a sumptuous dinner. Most things, he did himself. The most the housekeeper did was to help wash vegetables.Callia pulled Noelle over to the sofa to sit down and said, “Noelle, have a seat while I check if Uncle Austin needs help.”“Let me. I take care of Mr. Laurence’s meals daily too, so I think my cooking skills are decent enough.”Noelle got up to follow Callia into the kitchen to help.Callia smiled. “Sure, let’s both go help.”She did not treat Noelle like an outsider.The two entered the kitchen.“Uncle Austin, do you need our help?”“Uncle Austin.” Noelle greeted Austin respectf

However, Callia forced Noelle to sit down again. When Noelle tried to get up again, Callia deliberately put on a miffed expression and said, “Noelle, are you trying to say I picked a bad spot for you? I’m trying to get you to sit, but you don’t want to. That means you’re complaining that the spot I picked for you is bad.”“Oh, no, Ms. Callia, that’s really not what I mean.”Noelle knew Laurence doted on Chloe and Callia the most, and she liked Callia very much too. However, she was just Laurence’s bodyguard and had to avoid sitting at the same table as her master as much as possible.“Since that’s not what you meant, you should just sit there. It’ll make me very sad if you refuse to sit.”Noelle could not argue against Callia and she looked pleadingly toward Laurence, hoping he could help by telling her to go to her corner and stand guard.However, she did not expect that her pleading look would cause Laurence to be berated by Callia.Callia scolded Laurence and Chase, “The two o

Laurence knew Chase was missing his great-nana and comforted him, “Your great-nana lived longer than even Doc did. She’s gone to be with your great-gramps now.“They’ll only be at ease in heaven if we all live well.”“Great-Nana was the best. It’s impossible not to miss her.” Chase added, “She must be with Great-Gramps now. I heard from Dad that Great-Nana and Great-Gramps had a really good relationship.“When Great-Gramps passed away, Great-Nana nearly succumbed to her grief. She might have looked very strong, but on the inside, she was quite fragile. She really missed him a lot.”Laurence said, “That’s understandable. It’s only natural to take a long time to grieve the loss of the person you’re closest to.”When his parents and the rest of his family were murdered, he was only a year old and slowly forgot even his biological parents’ faces over the years as he grew up.It was only after he grew capable enough to return to Havenmill that he saw from photos others had taken of hi
