Female Novel
Chapter 2487
At the Newman villa, Camryn went downstairs and sat on the sofa in the hall after Carrie was scared off
by the dogs.
Callum poured her a glass of water. She thanked him and put down the glass instead of drinking it.
He went to prepare a fruit platter and plated some of Camryn’s favorite snacks and the various pastries
that he personally made for her.
He then served the food on the coffee table.
Callum sat down next to Camryn and said, “Eat something.”
“I’m not hungry.”
Callum smiled gently. “Have some snacks. It’ll make you feel better.”
“I’m in a good mood.”
Callum caressed Camryn’s face and tapped her delicate nose. “Come on. This isn’t the first day we’ve
met. I know you’re not in a good mood.”
Camryn leaned on Callum’s shoulder and said, “I’m six years older than Carrie. When she was born,
my mother was mean to me, but I was still happy to have a little sister.
“Carrie was actually very cute when she was a baby. I loved her very much, but I felt disheartened
every time I saw my mother’s love for Carrie and her disgust toward me.
“My mother didn’t let me get close to Carrie, who was the apple of her eye. Carrie’s parents loved her
very much, even after they had Trenton.
“Gradually, I understood that even if Carrie and I had the same mother, we were fundamentally
different. Carrie had both parents who loved her, but I didn’t have a father, and my mother never loved
me.
“When Carrie got a little older, she started to bully me, but I wouldn’t let her get away with it. When
Carrie lost to me in a fight, she would cry and my mother wouldn’t care who started it nor ask why. She
would just beat me up and starve me.
“Every time I was left to starve, I had to wait for my stepfather to come back. Although he was better
than my mother and would persuade her to feed me, he was often busy with work and would get home
very late. Many times, I was already asleep when he came home. I was hungry and tired from crying,
so I fell asleep easily.
“That was one of the better days. At least I would still get to eat the next day. If my stepfather went on a
business trip for a few days, I would be left to starve for just as long. I could only eat leftovers.
“Callum, when I was starving, I would even go through the trash can to look for food. I didn’t care about
food hygiene because I only thought about quelling the hunger.”
Camryn’s eyes turned red and teary when she spoke of her childhood.
“I didn’t understand why my mother did this to me, but I later found out that she didn’t love my father
and was forced to marry him because of her family.
“She had no feelings for my father, so she didn’t like me as well. She hated me so much that she didn’t
care about my well-being and took pleasure in torturing me.
“Before I knew how to hide my capabilities and bide my time, I lived a miserable life. That was when I
found out my father had died at their hands. The only happy memory was when Aunt Evelyn came to
visit. I would be able to eat, dress, and sleep well with her around. I didn’t have to do chores.
“But Aunt Evelyn lived far away and only came to visit once or twice a year. Every time she came back,
she only stayed for three to five days. She didn’t get along well with them and was the closest to my
dad. She would also give me an allowance and buy me delicious food and new clothes.novelbin
“As soon as she left, my mother would take away everything she gave me, and I would return to the old
way of life. Carrie has witnessed my mother’s attitude toward me since she was a child, so she never
thought of me as her sister.”
