Chapter 5318
Woe was Chester. Why was there only one girl in the family? Chester wished his parents had given him a sister between him and Chase. It would be great if he had a sister. Callia was a cousin, and not just exclusive to him. He had to share his cousin with all the other cousins. However, it would be different if he had his very own sister. That evening, the group returned to the O’Connors’ estate. Aware of the arrival of more York kids, the O’Connors waited in the main house. Isabella cleared her schedule and left work early. Even Louis and Philip were there. With a group of children entering the house, the senior members of the O’Connor family grinned from ear to ear. “Uncle Austin. Aunt Isabella.” The kids said hello. They then exchanged greetings with the O’Connors. Louis went up and took Koben right out of Callia’s arms. He said, “It’s been a while since I’ve seen Koben. You’ve grown so much. What grade are you in now?” “You don’t have time to visit. Of cou

Callia grinned as Koben ran toward her. Just before Koben reached her, Callia got down and spread her arms for him to plunge into her embrace. Though Koben came across as annoying and would not leave her alone at times, Callia still missed the little guy when they were apart. Their bond was something else since Callia practically raised him. She had babysat the other cousins, but none of them shared a bed with her as Koben did. Koben was her absolute favorite. “Callie.” Koben sprinted ahead and threw himself into Callia’s arms. She pulled him close and asked with a smile, “Do you miss me?” The little boy hugged Callia’s neck and replied, “I miss you so much. You didn’t even wait for my school break to come here. I had to be patient to get here. “If the others took any longer, I’d have told Dad to ship me over as cargo.” Callia carried him and said with a smile, “No one’s going to let you travel on your own. By waiting for the others, you can have a safe travel here to

“I can’t tarnish York Corporation’s brand.” Chester pouted. Xavier could go on, spilling his tales. Sinking his back into the seat, Chester ignored Xavier. Half an hour into the drive, Chester rubbed his belly and said, “Callie, I’m hungry. Is there anything to eat here?” “Why would there be food in the car? We didn’t bring any snacks with us.” Callia said, “Dinner is hours away. How are you hungry already?” “He’s hitting a growth spurt at his age. Hunger takes over quickly. I’m not surprised if he takes huge portions too. You’d be amazed at how much a teenage boy can put away. Trust me. I’ve been there.” Back during his own puberty, Xavier had been a bottomless pit due to his active lifestyle and growth spurts. Even though his family was loaded and the fridge was always full, his parents used to stare at him at the dinner table as if he had not eaten in days. Aware of his appetite, the family chef would prepare his favorites and extras, so he could dig in right after

“But if Xavier ever does something wrong and upsets me, I can consider punishing him by making him knit sweaters. He should knit a whole set of them and put one on to watch the snow at Uncle Austin’s.” Chester clapped. “That’s the way to do it, Callie. Make the punishment harsher. Xavier should knit a few for me, too. I haven’t worn a hand-knitted sweater before.” Satbury’s winters were freezing and heavy with snow. Even during the fall, the temperature fell lower than Wiltspoon’s coldest winter.Every winter break, Austin would send the children back to Wiltspoon to spend the season there. Chase and Chester preferred staying there. Though summer arrived early, it was not the hottest city in the country. Mainly, winter was just right. It was neither too hot nor too cold. Even with heating at home in Satbury, stepping outside in the winter was freezing, especially since the Yorks were accustomed to Wiltspoon’s weather. Before elementary school, Chester had even gone to kinder

Callia said, “See? You’re doing it again. You have no problem seeing Chloe and me as your sisters, but why can’t you treat Laurence like family?“You were by each other’s side for over a decade.“My life belonged to my late mentor. The one thing he drilled into me was to keep Mr. Laurence safe and take good care of him. No matter the danger, I must protect him from harm.” Noelle was Laurence’s bodyguard and faithful servant. “Noelle, are you asking me to help you ask Chloe?” Noelle replied, “Mr. Laurence has been neglecting his duties. Work has piled up.” She had persuaded Laurence, but the latter refused to listen to her. He said he needed to get the hang of knitting now that he had gotten into it. Noelle was eager to know why Chloe told Laurence to get into knitting. “Why don’t you ask Chloe yourself, Noelle?” Noelle replied, “Chloe’s busy. I can’t disturb her.” Callie grinned. Noelle could not bother Chloe, but Callie was fair game since she was on vacation. C

With Xavier behind the wheel, he took Callia and Chester to the airport. Two cars driven by bodyguards trailed closely behind them. Midway, Callia received a photo from Noelle. Callia was surprised as the message came from Noelle. Noelle was a kind soul who was like a sister to Callia. While Noelle adored Callia, she was not the type to send images. She would call for anything because, according to her, calling was just convenient and fast. Texting was a chore because typing took time. Noelle was just like Laurence. No wonder they fell in love. They were just the same kind of people. Callia tapped on the photo. It was a photograph of Laurence. Noelle must have snapped the picture. Hang on. What was Laurence doing? Sitting on the sofa, Laurence was knitting a sweater! Soon enough, Noelle sent a video clip. Callia tapped on the video to hit play. In the video, Laurence was all thumbs at knitting. The ball of yarn fell to the floor and rolled away, trailing a long st
