“I can put you down any time and make you walk.”“Aunt Hayden, Uncle Kevin is scolding me.”Jeremy complained to Hayden.She smiled. “Okay. Let’s tell your great-nana about this later and have her scold him, okay?”After thinking about it, Jeremy said, “Don’t tell Great-Nana. If she gets angry, she’ll hit Uncle Kevin with her walking stick. I don’t want her to hit Uncle Kevin. I still like him a lot.”Kevin pinched his nephew’s cheek. “You’re really good with your words, just as your aunt said. Your dad wasn’t even at your level when he was young.”While they were headed toward the main house, Zachary had already brought Callia to meet up with the rest. Upon seeing her great-grandmother, Callia demanded that Zachary put her down and ran toward the old lady like a bird released from its cage.“Great-Nana.”Her soft, childish voice instantly melted Grandma May’s heart.“Callia. My baby Callia’s back.”Grandma May lifted Callia in her arms in delight.She and Callia were the

Callia, who loved following her brother and cousins around like a shadow, also heard the other boys’ voices. She was elated and wanted to run outside with Heath. Grandma May put her down and said, “You may go, but be slow. Don’t trip and fall.”She also instructed Callia’s nanny to follow Callia and keep a close eye on her.Before Callia reached the door, Jace, who had entered the house first, hugged her.“Lil’ Pie.”The boys adored their only younger sister. They surrounded her, and Jace was the first to hug her. Jax wanted to snatch Callia away, but Jace did not let him. Jace said, “Stop grabbing Lil’ Pie, Jax. I just got to hug her. If you make Lil’ Pie fall, your butt will be in danger.”If Callia were to get injured, the twins’ parents would punish them without waiting for Zachary. Their parents loved Callia. They always said she was cute and obedient, unlike them, who were naughty. To their parents, the twins were simply annoying.However, Callia was indeed adorable.

After all, Carrie had betrayed Tony Longbottom, a cruel man. How could he possibly let her off the hook?There were rumors that Tony had punished the two bodyguards assigned to Carrie at the time. He was not mad at them for having an affair with Carrie, but at their betrayal.The bodyguards had turned a blind eye to Carrie's escape. Letting her take the money and run was equivalent to betraying him. Tony would not show mercy to those who had betrayed them. The bodyguards were already in their graves.Therefore, Carrie was probably no longer alive as well. Camryn did not reveal that information to Trenton. She did not want him to be sad. He was kind and deeply cared about his siblings. He had the same amount of love for both his sisters.Camryn answered Trenton’s call. “What’s wrong, Trenton?”“Where are you now, Camryn?”“I’m at the manor. Is it an urgent matter?”Trenton stammered, “I have something… Hm, it’s not really urgent. It’s just…”“Just speak, Trenton. Stop mumb

Camryn was worried that Lana would expose the York family’s privacy, especially that of the children. Up until then, none of the reporters in Wiltspoon had managed to get pictures of the children’s faces.Since Camryn did not know Lana well, she would not take the risks.“Lana’s parents are civil servants. They had a son much later, so Lana’s younger brother is still in elementary school. Trenton said he’s a sensible boy and that the siblings have a close relationship.“However, they have a nearly twenty-year age gap. Lana’s parents are old, and her brother is not yet an adult. Even if her parents have a pension, the money they need to spend will only increase as he grows. They might be unable to afford it.“Therefore, Lana has to take up responsibility as a sister. I can overlook it if she only has to pay for her brother’s education, but I’m worried that she might have to contribute to buying a house and a car for him, or even pay for his marriage expenses in the future.“Some

“Camryn.”Trenton let a hint of happiness slip into his voice, not wanting Camryn to hear his disappointment.Although Wildridge Manor was her in-laws’ place, the York family was huge, and she was not the head missus. It was true that she could not let just anyone visit the manor. He should be understanding.“I thought about it and felt I should explain things better to you. I didn’t agree to let Lana visit the manor because I don’t know her well. I can’t say yes because I have to consider the safety of the children in the house.“It’s summer vacation, so all the children are staying at the manor. Their safety is of utmost importance. We can’t let outsiders see them.“Since you like Lana, I’ll get to know her better. Once I confirm that she’s trustworthy and won’t leak information about the York family, I’ll let you bring her over to the manor for a visit.”Trenton was stunned. He had forgotten about Merry and his cousins.Indeed, the York family was extremely protective of the
