Camryn said, “I would be more than happy to have a child earlier rather than later, but my body’s not in the condition to do so. I’m afraid you guys will have to bear the heavy burden of giving Nana a great-granddaughter.”
Grandma May laughed. “It’s no big deal. I have nine grandsons and will have nine granddaughters-in-law. There has to be one who can give me a great-granddaughter to hug. Let’s go see the flowers. Callum, let us know once breakfast is ready.”
Camryn was not allowed to have children for the next few years. Grandma May was afraid that Camryn would feel sad, so she hurriedly changed the subject.
She even said, “Camryn, there’s no rush for you and Callum. Take good care of your body.”
Camryn smiled, “Nana, we’re not in a hurry, and we can’t be in a hurry either.”
Even if they stopped her medication now, it would take another year and a half to be safe enough to conceive.
She was worried that the effects of the medication would last for a long time and thought that it was not good for her to get pregnant too soon.
The few ladies took a walk around the manor.
Not long afterward, Zachary called his beloved wife to ask them to come back for breakfast.
Once they filled their stomachs, they were all sitting in the living area chatting idly when the butler walked up to Grandma May to say respectfully, “Old Mrs. York, Mr. and Mrs. Abrams have come with Ms. Abrams for a visit. They said it’s to apologize.”
Grandma May hummed mildly in acknowledgment. “Invite them in, then.”
She was well-connected and naturally knew what transpired at the banquet last night.
To bully her granddaughter-in-law was essentially a slap to her face.
Luckily, Camryn was not a pushover and managed to retaliate.
Grandma May even gave Callum a look.
Callum groused, “Nana, why are you looking at me like that? I really don’t know what Ms. Abrams looks like and have never made a pass at her or anything like that.”
“Once she comes in, you can take a good look at her and you’ll know what she looks like then.”
Callum hurriedly retorted, “Nana, now you’re just picking on me. I have a wife. Why would I be looking at other single ladies? I only like my wife.”
Grandma May sat on the couch, unmoving. It was Tania and her sisters-in-law who got up to receive them.
After they all sat down and had a sip of water, Nina said to Grandma May, “Old Mrs. York, we came here today to apologize. Last night, my daughter Sally was very rude to Mrs. York, Ms. Camryn. Although we did apologize right away, I felt that we still needed to visit and apologize in person.
“It’s also a failure of me and my husband to educate her. It’s our fault too, and last night, we’ve already disciplined Sally.”
Grandma May’s expression softened a little. She had a good impression of Mr. and Mrs. Abrams and she could see that they were sensible people.
Their visit to apologize was sincere.
They were not simply bowing to the pressure the Yorks bore.
She said, “Callum is just simply outstanding. There’s nothing wrong with Ms. Abrams liking Callum, but it’s not right for her to spread lies and insult my granddaughter-in-law.
“This is between the youngsters, so let them settle it themselves.”
Nina looked at her daughter.
