Love at First Novel

 Fortunately, Trenton wasn't negatively influenced by his parents. Otherwise, who knows what kind of person he would have become or what his future would hold. Camryn quietly finished her dessert, then took a few sips of warm water. She wiped her mouth and hands with a tissue before throwing it away. She sighed and said, "That's just my mother. I can't help but think about her. Whenever I see other mothers and daughters together, or hear someone call their mom, I think of her." The pain from her past would take a lifetime to heal.

After another sigh, she continued, "Maybe I'm just not close to my family. My biological father left me early, my mother is worse than a stepmother, and there's barely any bond between me and my siblings." Callum held her hand. "Wife, you have me. And my parents treat you like their own daughter. I think they love you more than me at this point."

Camryn let go of her sadness and smiled. "Yes, I've been fortunate. I have a wonderful husband, wise in-laws, and sisters-in-law who treat me like family." This made up for the lack of affection she had growing up.

She was most grateful to the old lady. If it weren't for her, Callum might never have met or pursued her. There would be no happy life for her now. If she hadn't married Callum, Camryn wasn't sure how much longer she'd have lived in darkness. Even though her aunt Evelyn had heard of a miracle doctor, there would have been no way to reach him without Callum's help.

Just then, another customer entered the shop, and the couple stopped discussing the heavy topic. Meanwhile, in Annenburg...

Serenity knew that Zachary was flying to Annenburg that day, and she had told him she was at Jane's parents' home and hadn't yet returned to FC Manor. So, she expected Zachary to arrive at FC Manor that evening. But unexpectedly, Zachary went straight to Jane's family home after landing. Serenity didn't know.

Sonny and Titus were playing in the yard, chasing each other, when they saw several cars parked outside the Murphy house.

Sonny spotted one of the York family's bodyguards in the front seat. He recognized them because they were always with his uncle, Zachary. Sonny liked these bodyguards-they were always kind to him. "Uncle is here!" Sonny stopped running and shouted excitedly.

He ran over to the back seat of the car and stood by the door, waiting for Zachary to step out.

When the door opened and Sonny saw Zachary's familiar face, he jumped up in excitement. "Uncle! Uncle! Did you come to pick up me and Auntie?"

As soon as Zachary stepped out of the car, Sonny hugged his leg and climbed into his arms.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Zachary had to hold Sonny as he got out of the car.

"Sonny, did you miss your uncle?"

Sonny's excitement made Zachary smile, unable to hide his joy. It was moments like this that made all his love for Sonny worth it.

Sonny nodded eagerly. "I miss you, Uncle. I think about you every day. Are you finished with work? Auntie said we were going back to Titus's house today and that you'd come in the evening." Titus ran over and greeted Zachary politely, "Uncle Zack." Zachary smiled and patted his head.

Titus ran back to the yard to tell the others. "I'll tell my mom and Aunt Seren." "I'll tell them too!" Sonny shouted, squirming to get down from Zachary's arms and running into the Murphy family's yard.
