The Contracted Ever After novel Chapter 618

Adrian looked like he was about to throw a punch, but Samantha shot him a quick glance that stopped him cold. Besides, even if he tried, he was no match for Harold.

Little Callum flopped into Harold’s arms, crying out, “Big bro!”

“There, there, buddy,” Harold soothed, patting Callum's back gently.

“Big bro, I'm so scared!” Callum burst into tears.

“It’s alright, it’s alright,” Harold reassured him, patting his back. “Big bro will take you home.”

After saying that, he settled Callum into the backseat of his car. Everyone says that children who go through a kidnapping carry a shadow in their hearts. Callum, knowing he was part of a kidnapping, had to act like nothing was wrong. It showed he was shrewd and strong, but undoubtedly, the experience had left a dark imprint on him.

At the Evans residence.

Victoria stopped by after work, now that Cordelia was back. It was the perfect opportunity to cozy up to the Evans family and Janice.

Cordelia hadn’t gone to her class reunion, opting to head straight home instead. She paced back and forth in her room, restless.

Victoria was also trying to think of a solution. She had cursed Samantha’s ancestors several times over, without sparing a thought that Samantha's lineage was also Shelley's.

Janice couldn’t stop blaming herself. “It’s my fault, all my fault. I always knew Adrian was no good, but after the kid had just been through a kidnapping, who could’ve imagined that his ordeal was the real deal?”

“Someone like Samantha should be taken out!” Victoria fumed, sitting on the couch.

Harold arrived at the house, holding the child in his arms.
