Chapter 1493

“If you want to stay here for a few days to avoid Mr. York, I’ll let my girlfriend know and have her fly over tomorrow to keep you company.”

He was a man, so it was inconvenient for him to take care of Camryn.

Moreover, since he had decided to be her brother figure, he had to keep a certain distance from her. He would help her with everything, not just with work.

After all, she could not see yet.

He was the one who helped her set up the video conference in the afternoon.

“There’s nothing going on between Mr. Callum and I,” Camryn hurriedly explained herself.

Duncan placed some food on her plate and looked at her for a long time before saying, “You were in your first year of middle school when I first met you, and it’s been fourteen years now. I know very well what kind of person you are.

“Although you seemed very busy and dedicated during the video conference, I can tell that you’re a little distracted. Your mind starts to wander as soon as you stop talking. I don’t know what happened between Mr. York and you, but when I saw him coming over, he was obviously jealous, “He misunderstood our relationship, didn’t he? Then, he questioned you, you didn’t explain anything, and then you guys fought?”

Camryn paused from eating, then continued to eat as if nothing was wrong.

“We didn’t fight, Dal. We’re just ordinary friends. What’s there to explain? Stop asking. I’m fine. I was just thinking that Trenton is coming back. Will he hate me when he finds out about everything?”

In the Newman family, Camryn could not care less about her own mother, let alone her stepfather and half-sister. However, she cared about her younger brother.

Although she was always cold to him whenever he tried to care for her, her heart had long been melted by the warm man. She thought of him as her real family.

Trenton was different from Carrie. He treated her like a real sister and was extremely protective of her.

However, it was because he defended her that Carrie told her mother to send him to a boarding school after he started elementary school. He only came back once a week.

Now, he was in his third year in high school and could only come back once a month. He would have to take his college entrance exam soon. Camryn was afraid that the matters at home would affect him.

“He’s having his entrance exam soon.”

Camryn said softly, “He has good grades, so my uncle and mother both hope that he can get into Poltham University, but he said that he doesn’t want to go to a university that far. He wants to take the exam for Wiltspoon University and stay in Wiltspoon.

“He said he would be able to come back and see me often if he went to a local university.”

Dalton was well aware that of all the people in the Newman family, only Trenton Newman was a good person.

He thought about it and suggested, “Don’t tell Trenton the truth when he comes back this weekend.

Just tell him that his parents and older sister went out on a trip together and tell him the truth when his entrance exams are over.

“I think Trenton is an understanding person. He’s seventeen now and knows how to tell right from wrong. After you explain everything to him, give him the choice to resent or hate you, if he wants to.”

After a moment of silence, Camryn agreed with Dalton’s suggestion.

When she was investigating her father’s cause of death, she knew that one day, her brother and her would stand on opposite sides.

“Don’t think too much about it and eat first. Seafood doesn’t taste as good when it’s cold. I’ll send you back to the city after you finish eating.”

Dalton filled Camryn’s plate with more food and said, “You don’t want to tell me about you and Mr. York, but I’ll tell you the truth. If you have the chance, you have to grab onto him.

“The York family can be your backing. They won’t care about your family assets. I don’t believe that there’s another man who would approach you if not for your family fortune.”

Camryn said faintly, “I’m blind, Dal. I’m not a good match for Mr. Callum.”

“It doesn’t matter as long as his family and he doesn’t dislike you. Look at Mr. Zachary York and his wife. They’re not well-matched either, but aren’t they lovey-dovey now?

“Don’t care about what others say. What’s important is that you two love each other.”
