The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon
Chapter 556 Seanâs Quest For Wifi Abigail pressed her hand against her racing heart, unable to handle the situation any longer. âIs this the only way you can get attention?â she asked, frustration evident in her voice.
âNo, but I need to connect to your companyâs WiFi,â Sean replied casually.
Abigail recited a series of numbers, trying to distract herself from Seanâs distracting presence.
Heâs doing this on purpose, isnât he? Abigail thought, but Sean didnât make any further moves.
Once Sean successfully connected to the WiFi, he glanced at Abigailâs flushed ear and smiled knowingly.
Meanwhile, Cameron walked alongside Analise, carrying Seanâs clothes. The two of them had finished their meal and were now enjoying the vibrant neon lights of the street.
âI wonder when Mr. Graham will allow me to return,â Cameron mumbled, savoring a lamb sausage that Analise held for him.
Analise fed Cameron with her left hand, while holding her own sausage in her right. âMy teeth arenât in great shape. Itâs difficult to chew this sausage.â
âBring it closer, Grandma,â Cameron said, stretching his neck towards Analise.
Analise looked at him affectionately and remarked, âYouâre such a glutton.â
Cameron chuckled. âMy real grandma passed away a long time ago. When Iâm with fortunate to see how everyone admires us.â
you, I feel Hearing his words, Analise looked at him with sympathy and asked, âWhere are your parents?â
âMy dad was an alcoholic, a gambler, and abusive. He drove my mom to the point where she couldnât bear it anymore and she tragically took her own life by jumping into a river,â Cameron explained calmly.
Analise was taken aback. âI didnât mean to bring up such painful memories.â
âDonât worry, Grandma. Itâs fine. Let me tell you something. After my momâs death, my dad started abusing me. We would have violent fights, using chairs and even kitchen knives. We would attack each other, terrifying the neighbors. At that time, nobody dared to mess with my family,â Cameron shared.

Analise handed him the largest skewer and asked softly, âWhat happened next?â
âOne day, while he was drunk, my dad stumbled into a pit in the village and died. I felt relieved when I heard the news,â Cameron continued. Then, he sighed. âBut less than at month after his death, my uncleâs family took over our house. I became homeless and had to go to the city to find work. Unfortunately, nobody wanted to hire me because I was too young.â
Analise felt tears welling up in her eyes as she listened. âYouâve had a difficult life.â
Cameron smiled. âMany kids have had it tough. During that time, more than a dozen of us were kidnapped. Some had their legs broken, some had their hands cut off, and others had their eyes burned. Luckily, because my dad used to beat me so much, I learned to fight back, which saved me from losing my limbs.â
âStop, Cameron. I feel so sorry for you,â Analise said, her eyes reddening.
âIâm sharing this so you can understand my past,â Cameron said with a happy smile. âI envy Ms. Quinn for having such a wonderful grandma like you. If someone had found me back then, would I have been as lucky as her?â
Analise leaned closer and rested her head against his chest. âI can take care of you now. Just follow Abigail, and Iâll protect you.â
âAlright, Grandma!â Cameron replied, his smile brightening.
The duo continued their stroll, finishing their food as they walked. Analise listened attentively to Cameronâs stories, learning about his time in the human trafficking organization, enduring daily beatings and severe injuries. Yet, he fought relentlessly for his life, which terrified the human traffickers.
They thought I was a tough guy, so they wanted me to work for them. I pretended to submit, but then I reported them to the police and got them all arrested. Thatâs how I ended up joining the military,â Cameron explained, a sense of pride in his voice.
âLater on, I became a special forces soldier. However, I retired after a few years due to my numerous injuries. Thankfully, Mr.
Graham took me in.â
Analise felt a deep sadness. After all, Cameron could have turned to a life of crime, but he chose to become a strong and honorable man.
Iâm also your family,â Analise said, tears streaming down her face.
However, in that moment, Cameron suddenly said, âDid you find my story touching. Grandma? Seeing Analiseâs surprise, he burst into laughter. âI made it all up! I was just bored and felt like telling you a story.
âYou rascalâ How dare you trick me? Analise playfully raised the skewer as it she would hit 2/3
