Chapter 5308
No one in their right mind would lay a finger on Callia in school. For starters, Callia was a straight-A student, the apple of the faculty’s eye. For another, it was no secret that she had a big send-off on the first day of school. No one had the nerve to hurt her. When she was in the ninth grade, her cousins were in the tenth and eleventh grades in the same school. They had her back. The biggest nuisance she faced daily was being bombarded by love letters for her cousins. She had never received one because no one had the guts to express their love to her, knowing she had a close family friend and boy cousins. She served as a human mailbox for her cousins, sorting through mountains of love letters without ever seeing one addressed to herself. She did receive quite a few gifts, and some of them were for her. The girls, eager to court her extended family, knew better than to ignore the messenger, so they made sure to slip her a little something when they had a gift for the boys
Chapter 5307
Hand in hand, Xavier and Callia strolled further down the shaded path of the backyard.The O’Connors’ residence was not quite Wildridge Manor, but the scale of the place was massive. It was quiet in the backyard with tree-lined paths, a little bridge over trickling water, and a winding pathway. It was pure bliss just to take a stroll in the area while catching the breeze. Austin had two sons, and the younger was twelve, so the manor was quiet. At times, the leaves rustled against the blowing wind, breaking the silence of the backyard. “Do you want to take a seat?” Spotting the gazebo up ahead, Xavier asked Callia tenderly. “Alright.”Xavier pulled her along to the gazebo. “This brings back memories. You couldn’t walk straight when you were one, but you ran behind us anyway.“You fell when we were running around your family’s manor. Heath wasn’t the one to pick you up. It was me. We tried to make you stop crying before the adults heard you.“You were everybody’s darling.

Xavier stopped and said earnestly, “Callie, I’ve been telling Heath since the age of six that once you grow up, I’m going to make you my wife and give you the world. “I’ve been waiting for you to grow up, watching over you while chasing your suitors away for twenty years. “That has been my focus in the last two decades, and I’m not stopping now. I’m devoted to carrying on for the rest of my life. “I don’t care about the other fish in the sea. You’re the one for me. I’m happy to be chained to you for the rest of my life. I couldn’t care less about other women who fancy me because you’re the love of my life. You’re the only one for me.” Xavier brushed his fingers against Callia’s face, his eyes tender. He said lovingly, “Callie, do you know how it feels to wait for the woman you love? I’ve waited for you all my life just to see you graduate.“Though we won’t be getting married just yet, in my eyes, you’re already my wife. I love you more than life itself.” Callia met his gaze

Xavier said frankly, “And how am I supposed to coax you? Should I make a bottle of formula for you and feed you while I carry you? When you were still young enough to be drinking formula, I did that often enough.”Chester was immediately left speechless and his childish face flushed red.It was true that the youngest of the York boys had been taken care of by these older boys until they grew up.“Chester, have you finished your summer homework? Didn’t you say you wanted to go back to Wiltspoon? If you haven’t finished your homework, you won’t be able to enjoy yourself to your heart’s content even if you go back.”Chester replied, “I already graduated from elementary school and I’m starting middle school after the holidays, so I don’t have any homework.”It was just that Chase had dug out his middle school books for Chester to learn from and had bought a lot of workbooks for him to complete after self-studying every day. Chase would even check them after coming home from work.It

Chester swung Callia’s arm back and forth. “Once I’m all grown up, I’ll find someone better than Xavier for you.”Callia laughed. “But I’ve known Xavier since young and we grew up together. We have a strong bond as childhood friends and other people can’t measure up to that. What then?”She knew how Xavier felt about her, and she did not hate him. She did not have very deep romantic feelings for him right now either, but they were childhood friends, and it meant enough to her that she was willing to be with Xavier for the rest of her life.Xavier truly put her first.Plus, she knew that in the entirety of Wiltspoon, Xavier was very likely the only person who would dare marry her.Mainly because she had her brother and too many cousins.Everyone knew she was the apple of the eyes of her elders, brother, and cousins. Whoever dared to offend her would be asking for trouble. Her elders would not even need to lift a finger. Her brother and cousins alone could make the offending party

“Callia, do you have to go to work? Don’t you have to keep studying?”Chester was reluctant to part from Callia and he added, “If you go to work, you won’t have time to come see us anymore. What if I miss you?“You won’t be home even when we come home on winter break. Even if you had to work, you could do it in our family’s company. We could just get my mom to arrange for a well-paying job with a light workload for you.”The more Chester thought about it, the more he felt it was a viable idea. That way, Callia would stay here for work, and every time he got off school and went home, he would be able to see her, unlike previously when all they could do was video-call or wait until Christmas to see each other.Callia chuckled. “I can further my studies while working. If you miss me, you can video-call me. And I’ll definitely come home for the Christmas holidays.”If she wanted a well-paying job with a light workload, there would be plenty of people who would arrange one for her if s
