Thinking about this, she looked up at Callum. "I'm really not the girl you're looking for, but I do know where the actual owner of this pendant is, because it was given to me by someone else."
"Given to you? How could it be? This is a family heirloom that signifies belonging to the Frerotte family. Buttercup, it's okay if you don't admit it. But I've come to get you. I want to take you back to England." Callum's deep voice resonated softly in Kendra's startled gaze.
"I'm really not that girl. This pendant isn't mine, it was given to me by a girl. The girl you want to take away is also in Melfort. I can take you to meet her." Kendra secretly rejoiced in her heart.
Natalia, good job, hurry back to England.
Callum had some doubts that Kendra might not be the girl that he was looking for, but she had a pendant as proof. Even though she didn't have blue eyes, he thought it was normal for a girl's eye color to change as she grew up. However, this girl really didn't resemble the sweetie from years ago.
"Alright, as long as you take me to meet the girl who gave you the pendant, I won't give you a hard time. Otherwise, I'll take you back to England." Callum said.
Upon hearing his words, Kendra's body began to break out in a cold sweat, "Okay, I'll take you there. Let's go." She couldn't meet up with Lucius anymore, so she sent him a message saying she couldn't make it.
Kendra led Callum directly to Maplewood Manor. She knocked on the door, and Linden answered, to see Kendra and a man standing at the doorway. He paused for a moment, recalling what Mr. Magnus had said, that no one from the Clarkson family was allowed to enter the mansion.
"Ms. Clarkson, what brings you here? Mr. Magnus said you can't come in." Linden was about to close the door.
"Linden, I'm here to see Natalia. Tell her to come out. This gentleman wants to see her." Kendra quickly stopped Linden from closing the door.
Linden looked at Callum, "What do you want with Mrs. Anderson?"
Mrs.? Had his sweetie gotten married?! Impossible, she was only twenty years old, how could she be married, had he arrived too late?
"Linden, who's there?" Just as Callum was about to speak, a girl's voice suddenly sounded from inside.
Since it was Sunday, Natalia was reading in her study. Hearing someone downstairs calling for her, she thought Lexi had come.
Natalia, dressed in a blue dress, with long hair cascading over her shoulders, slowly approached the door.
Callum watched as the girl approached, his blood rushing backwards. It was her, the girl he had encountered in the library that night. Her pair of blue eyes gazed over at him, her demure demeanor akin to a goddess descending into the mortal world. She appeared before Callum gracefully.
Yes, this was his Buttercup. That day, he recognized her just from her eyes. That familiar feeling.
Even without the pendant, he had a feeling then that this girl was the one he was looking for. Was it her? Was it her who gave the pendant to this girl?
"What are you here for?" Natalia furrowed her brows upon seeing Kendra, and then noticed the man next to Kendra. She was slightly taken aback. Wasn't this the man she had seen in the library that day? What was he doing with Kendra?
"Natalia, this gentleman is looking for you." Kendra quickly backed away, hoping to slip away unnoticed. She would definitely not return the pendant to Natalia.
