    Lara said courtly, “Obviously, you put in a lot of effort into preparing your gift and you’re certainly more


    considerate than most of us because none of our gifts have ever managed to make him so happy.” Her


    remark could be interpreted as being somewhat provocative. After listening to what she said, the first


    thing that popped up in the rest of their minds was how bad Old Man Nn’s taste was. Other than that,


    they also resented Cam for stealing their limelights because they had spent a fortune on their gifts for


    the old man only to see them being overshadowed by hers which might not even be worth a hundred


    bucks. Obviously, Lara was trying to incite the rest of her family to hate Cam. With a smile, Cam


    exined, “Of course Master Merlin would love the gifts from all of you. As I’m not as rich as you guys, I


    can only make up to it by putting in more effort. I’m sure he just doesn’t have the heart to criticise my


    shabby gift because he knows how I hate to feel embarrassed.” Edward too walked over to her and said,


    “There’s no need to be so modest because you and your son should be proud of your gifts which are


    able to make Grandpa so happy.” Laraughed along and chimed in, “Indeed, especially so for the gift


    from the little boy.” With that, she bent down slightly and beamed at South, “Little boy, how old are you?”


    South answered her confidently, “I’m six-and-a-half years old!” Softening her tone, Lara asked the little


    boy what sounded like an attempt to pry for more information, “I can see you’re with your Mommy. What


    about your Daddy?” Upon listening to her question, Ss’s face fell immediately and he spoke in a cold


    tone, “We’d better not poke our noses in their private affairs!” At the same time, Cam pulled South to


    her and answered with a nk expression, “His Daddy has passed away. Aunt Lara, I don’t think that’s


    the question you should pose to a little boy.” As soon as she said that, South secretly took a peek at


    Ss’s face to confirm that his expression had turned bleaker. South kept his lips pursed because he was


    having difficulty stopping a grin from emerging on his face. In the meantime, Ss was looking sullen


    thinking that it was the second time he was described as a dead man by Cam. That woman was really


    ruthless with her words! Lara, who seemed to have just realized her gaffe, chuckled, “It’s my bad for


    being curious. Doctor Brooklyn, you won’t mind it, will you?”


    Having subdued the raging fury in her, Cam forced a smile and responded, “I won’t!” At that juncture,


    Old Man Nn spoke calmly, “Rocky and Doctor Brooklyn, I think it’s about time the two of you bring the


    kid downstairs to grab something to eat instead of staying here with me.” Knowing well that his


    grandfather was trying to protect them, Ss replied quickly, “Okay!” Cam then nodded at the rest of


    them in the room politely before leaving the room together with Ss and South. Still looking glum even


    after they left the room, Ss eyed Cam somewhat apologetically when he said to her, “You don’t have


    to put up with any person or anything that annoys you.” Cam chuckled, “If I could really do as I wish,


    you wouldn’t have to keep your distance from me and Grandpa wouldn’t have called me Doctor Brooklyn


    just now.” Ss stopped in his tracks abruptly and turned to face her with his eyes glinting with


    consternation. “Do you think I should behave more intimately with you in public? Are you ming


    Grandpa for not addressing you as his granddaughter-inw?” Cam went speechless at first before


    she doubted, “As the president of Nn Group, I’m surprised you can’t evenprehend the meaning


    behind my words.” Ss let out a chuckle because he could sense the sarcasm in her words. Putting on


    a more solemn look, he exined, “It’s true that I am not ready yet to introduce you and South to


    everyone because I don’t want to put the two of you in danger. However, it still pains me to see you


    getting bullied by them and I don’t mind teaching them a lesson when they behave like that!” He looked


    so earnest when he spoke that Cam found it impossible to tease him. Instead, she red at him


    flirtatiously and criticized, “Teach them a lesson? What about your grandfather and your younger


    brother? Will you ignore them too?” Before Ss could respond to her, the door to Old Man Nn’s room


    was opened once again from which Nicole and Aleena walked out.
