Hayden liked Kevin and had some feelings for him, but those feelings weren’t strong enough for her to consider marrying him. Consequently, Kevin’s main focus remained on pursuing his wife. He was staying at the Fortress Hotel, and several factories operated under the York Corporation in Jensburg. Kevin occasionally visited these factories to oversee operations. Camryn observed Hayden’s consistently cold demeanor and remarked, “Miss Queen is more man-like than many men. Her presence and behavior reflect this. To put it differently, her voice is somewhat high-pitched, not as deep as those of you men.” Hayden always intentionally lowered her voice in conversations, yet even so, she remained distinct from real men. However, some men spoke with sharper tones, leading others to mistakenly believe Hayden belonged to that category without questioning her true identity as a woman. Callum smiled and said, “She has been dressing as a man since childhood, pretending to be one for over 20 years. Isn’t that different? She is far too cold. In my past competitions with my elder brother, he was always serious and distant, giving off an impression that he should not be approached by strangers. You wouldn’t believe how serious and cold my eldest brother used to be. By the time you met him, he had turned into a devoted husband who was gentle as water in front of my sister-in-law. Kevin is the only one who can charm a woman like Miss Queen. I still prefer girls like you—gentle as water, yet not weak. They might seem easy to bully, but they are actually strong-willed and possess remarkable patience.” At that moment, Camryn promptly pinched Callum as soon as he finished speaking. “You think I’m tough, but you still want to take a bite out of me?” She didn’t intend for him to hurt her, but he clung to her like a piece of stubborn brown sugar, making

It was impossible for her to escape it. He had stolen her first kiss. Thankfully, during that time, Callum employed some tough tactics, but later he respected her and refrained from being overly forceful again. Callum warned, “Don’t hold onto past grievances.” He had been jealous and impulsive then, forcing her to kiss him once, but she ignored him, which only heightened his anxiety. Ultimately, he had no choice but to seek help from his brother-in-law and ask his sister-in-law to speak favorably about him to her. He then shamelessly followed her around, apologizing in various ways. That incident led to the revelation: Callum remarked, “I’m like a dog; I enjoy chewing on bones.”

Join us to stay informed about all book updates… Camryn attempted to pinch him again, but when she noticed someone exiting the house, she decided to show him some restraint and stopped. Although she could see someone coming out, it was too far away for her to identify who it was. She quietly asked Callum, “I saw someone coming out; who is it?”

Callum replied, “Auntie Madisyn.”

Camryn responded, “Oh, I just saw someone leaving, but I couldn’t see clearly.”

Callum reassured her, “I’ll help you prepare the medicine tonight. If you take it on time, you’ll gradually regain your normal vision.”

Camryn sighed, “Honestly, that medicine is incredibly bitter. Every time you help me make it, it’s a large, dark bowl, and you can tell it’s bitter just from the smell.” She always had to pinch her nose to drink it all down.
