Chapter 73 The Campbell Family


    Chapter 73 The Campbell Family


    When Freya returned to the office, she heard her phone ringing. She quickly rushed over to pick it


    up and said, "Hello!"


    "My bodyguard is on the way to pick you up. You go fetch our son home. I''ll be backter tonight."


    Austin''s husky voice rang out.


    Freya responded, "Okay."


    Austin hung up the phone. Freya tidied up her design drafts and was ready to go back home. She


    came downstairs with the design drafts in a canvas bag, and the bodyguard''s car was already


    waiting there.


    Seeing Freya, the bodyguard got out of the car and respectfully held the car door open for her.


    Freya was somewhat ttered and said with a smile, "Thank you."


    Upon arriving at school, Freya saw Daniel waiting there. At the sight of her, Daniel immediately


    asked, "Where''s Daddy?"


    "He''s a bit busy, so he''s not with me to pick you up," said Freya soothingly to Daniel.


    Freya took her son to the mall to buy groceries and then went home together.


    After returning home, Freya prepared dinner and began to wonder if Austin woulde home for


    dinner tonight.


    Did she need to give him a call? If he came back for dinner, she would spared herself the trouble of


    preparing another meal. After all, she had to save time for workter!


    "Daniel, give your dad a call and ask if hees home for dinner tonight. "Freya didn''t want to


    make a call herself and asked her son to do it.


    Daniel, who got his father''s number memorized, immediately walked over to the phone and made a


    call. When the call connected, he waited eagerly for his father to speak.


    About seven secondster, Austin answered the phone. "Hello!"


    "Daddy, it''s me! Mommy''s asking if you''re going home for dinner tonight," Daniel said.


    "Tell her, I''m not going back." Austin''s deep voice sounded a bit cheerful.


    "Got it. Daddy, when will you be back?"


    "It may be around nine o''clock."


    "Okay then! Mommy and I will wait for you toe home. Goodbye, Daddy," Daniel said, then hung


    up the phone.


    At the airport, Austin and Natalie were sitting in a coffee shop waiting for a flight. When Austin hung


    up the phone, a contented smile pulled at the corners of his mouth. Daniel''sst words were super


    heartwarming.


    The thought of Freya waiting for him toe home gave Austin the satisfaction.


    "Austin, Mom and Dad''s flight should havended by now." Natalie was eager to see her nephew


    Daniel, but she didn''t expect that Austin still prevented her from seeing him.


    In a moment, the bodyguard picked up Austin''s parents who were in their early sixties, dressed


    quite modestly with an air of simplicity.


    They were Austin''s father Martin and mother Julia.


    "Dad, Mom, you''re finally back. Austin and I have been waiting for you for two hours!" Natalie


    comined, approaching and hugging her mother.


    "Why are you waiting for us here? Why didn''t you go back home first?" Julia asked in surprise.


    "Dad, Mom, before you meet Daniel, I have something to tell you. I''ve booked a restaurant. Let''s go


    for dinner together!" Austin''s eyes flickered with respect for her parents.


    When Martin was young, he met Julia and lost interest in the Campbell Group. He was first in the


    line of session to be the next president, but he gave up his position. He bought arge


    farm with Julia and ran a winery in Ashview. As a result, he became the most useless son in his


    father''s eyes.


    Julia was hardworking, virtuous, and very supportive of Martin''s career. Martin''s winery was highly


    renowned in Ashview, and he was self-sufficient and leading a cid, contented life.


    Their son Austin was outstanding. Having him was probably the most satisfying thing in the world. A


    descendant of the Campbell family would either be the heir to the group or be depressed for


    the rest of his life. Unless he gave up stunning wealth, he would definitely lose his sanity and


    be insatiable.


    "Okay, let''s go!" Martin nodded.


    In the restaurant.


    Austin ordered a table of rich dishes, then began to talk about how he met his son. His family was


    shocked, their jaws dropping open. They couldn''t wait to see this smart kid.


    "Austin, take us to see Daniel after dinner! I just can''t wait." Natalie said eagerly with a pout.


    Austin looked at his parents and sister and smiled faintly, "I have to tell you something."


    "What is it? Austin, why do you look so serious? Are you afraid I will bully my little nephew?" Natalie


    asked with a grin.


    Austin told them about Bruce''s attitude towards Daniel, and they were shaken to the core. Martin


    sighed, "Dad''s kind of a crank. He''s gone too far. Daniel''s young. How can he live apart from his


    mother?"


    "You''re right! Grandpa is too pushy. Daniel''s mom must be sad."


    "Austin, what are you going to do? Do you really want to take the kid back to the Campbell


    Mansion?" Julia looked at Austin. She couldn''t bear to see him reduced to a cold-blooded man.


    Austin shook his head. "I do not agree with Grandpa, but I will not go against him openly. He gave


    me a whole year, and I''m gonna make things different."


    "Austin, how about you marry Daniel''s mom? There''s nothing Grandpa can do about it if you two get


    married!" Natalie said, her face brightening.


    Austin spoke with a helpless look, "The problem is that she doesn''t want to marry me."


    "No way! You look so hot." Natalie was very confident in Austin''s charm.


    Julia chimed in, "Alright, cut it out. Be patient and hear Austin out."


    "Dad, Mom, Freya is very sensitive about the child issue. She''s always worried that we''ll take Daniel


    from her, so please do not act like that when you meet with her," cautioned Austin with a serious


    face.


    "Rest assured, we not only treat her and Daniel like family. As long as she''d like to marry into the


    Campbell family, we have no problem with it," Julia said.


    Austin froze for a few seconds, then rubbed his forehead and said, "Mom, it is best not to mention


    the marriage. She doesn''t want it."


    Martin and Julia looked at each other and could not believe that their son was so considerate


    towards a woman. They were very tempted to see what Freya looked like.


    So was Natalie. Austin was so fascinated by Freya. She must be drop-dead gorgeous!


    Although they couldn''t wait to see Daniel, they had to let Austin rest. It was more than nine o''clock


    in the evening, so Julia said, "We''re not seeing Daniel tonight. It''s toote. Let''s not disturb him."


    "But I want to see him." Natalie had been thinking about it all day.


    Austin said soothingly, "You''ll see him tomorrow afternoon. I''ll take you to pick him up from school."

    Natalie could only agree grudgingly.


    At night, Martin, Julia, and Natalie stayed in the castle, while Austin returned to his ce in the


    center of the city.


    Freya sat on the sofa with a drawing board on her knees. She was sketching, while Daniel was


    waiting for Austin toe back and bathe him. Before Austin was back, Daniel fell asleep.


    Freya was speechless. Daniel was persistent! He kept waiting for Austin toe home and bathe


    him. That was indeed not a good habit.


    What if they would separate a yearter?
