Chapter 3748
When Camryn asked him, Trenton’s heart raced. He wasn’t entirely certain if the woman in the video was truly Carrie. The young lady beside her? He had watched the video multiple times but hadn’t focused much on her. All he noticed was that she was young, beautiful, and adorned with a lot of jewelry. In the video, Camryn referred to her as Mrs. Labbe, leading Trenton to believe that her husband’s last name must be Labbe.
Mrs. Labbe appeared to be kind to Camryn and willing to assist her, but Trenton didn’t know her. Why was Camryn inquiring about her? Should he recognize her?
Trenton watched the video again but still couldn’t determine why Mrs. Labbe was significant. He had never heard of her before viewing the video.
He glanced at Camryn, seeking answers.
Camryn gently said, “If you can’t tell, don’t worry about it. She’s become quite skilled at playing that role, almost as if she’s genuinely that person. I’ll explain more when we get home tonight.”
Then, Camryn printed out two online orders and began preparing the flower arrangements.

continued preparing the flower arrangements.
Once she finished, she handed them to Trenton.
“It’s still early for dinner, and since you’re here with nothing to do, could you help me deliver these? The address is written here.”
She pointed to a small note attached to the bouquets. “Make sure to collect this note after confirming the delivery, so it doesn’t spoil the customer’s experience.”
Trenton put his phone away, took the flowers, and after reading the address, tucked the notes into his pocket. He grabbed the keys to the electric bike and said, “I’ll deliver them now.”
The customer was located in a nearby industrial area, so Trenton figured he could easily make the delivery.
Flowers by bike. He placed the bouquets in the front basket, donned his helmet, and rode off.
“Have you decided to tell Trenton?” Callum asked Camryn gently. “He’s still young, and you’re not entirely sure about what’s happening.”
Camryn sat at the cashier’s counter while Callum poured her a cup of warm water. He then headed to the kitchen to retrieve a box of fresh snacks he had brought earlier that morning for her to enjoy during her breaks, ensuring she wouldn’t go hungry.
“Trenton’s an adult and can make his own decisions. If it involves his second sister, he has a right to know. I don’t want him to continue being Carrie’s cash machine,” Camryn replied. She didn’t believe in keeping secrets from Trenton simply because he was younger. With no elders left to guide them, she had taken charge of the Newman family and treated it as her own.
Even though they came from different branches of the family—Trenton from the first house and Camryn from the second—he needed to understand the situation, especially regarding Carrie. It was important for him to know what was happening to avoid being taken advantage of.
“If Trenton knows the truth, he can help. Carrie doesn’t put her guard up around him,” Camryn added.
Callum nodded in agreement. “You must be hungry too. Have a snack. I made these especially for you this morning.”
Camryn reached for a snack but then pulled her hand back. “I’ll wash my hands first,” she said. Before she could leave, Callum fed her the snack himself.
She took a bite before going to wash her hands. “It would be nice if I could just feed you, so you wouldn’t have to do it yourself,” Callum joked, feeling a bit disappointed that he couldn’t keep feeding her.
