Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me novel Chapter 622

Chapter 622 Make Them Pay

On the other hand, Joella's death allowed Edmund to say whatever was on his mind. Moreover, Cameron would not know if Edmund lied because she couldn't disprove his claims.

However, Cameron was half-convinced. "Do you have any other proof?" Since his mother was very cautious when she was alive, he inherited some of that trait.

"Look at our faces. Don't you think you look a lot like me?" Edmund wasn't spewing random nonsense this time; it was a perfectly reasonable supposition. Even though he wasn't a Winthrop by blood, he resembled so much like Callum during his time with the family that no one could tell he wasn't one of them. Despite not being related, fate had brought together two people who looked strikingly similar. Therefore, this gave him the perfect opportunity to fool the boy.

After hearing that, Cameron studied Edmund's face. H/e do look similar to one another. "Still... It seems to me that this other mister resembles me, too. So, why is he not my birth father?"

Edmund thought about it momentarily and then responded, "That's because he's my brother. He looks like me, so naturally, he looks like you too. Furthermore, he's married, so how can he be your father?"

In the meantime, Cameron was still a young boy with a simple mind. Hence, when he was reminded that Elspeth and Callum were married, he nodded reluctantly. "Okay. I believe that you're my father now."

"That's a good boy," Edmund said with a chuckle.

Despite confirming their father-son relationship, Cameron remained anxious and hesitant to approach him.

After saying that, Edmund squatted to Cameron's eye level and gestured for him to come over.

Cameron had been hiding behind Callum initially, but after seeing Edmund's friendly gesture, the boy could now relax his guard.

Then, he slowly approached Edmund and threw himself into his arms.

"What's your name?" Edmund's gaze was soft and gentle as he stared at the boy.

"My name is Cameron Henning."

"How should you address me?"

"Daddy," Cameron muttered bashfully before snuggling deeper into Edmund's arms. The child suddenly remembered something, and his expression fell.

At that moment, Edmund noticed the boy's expression change and asked, "What's the matter, Cam?"

"Mommy's gone, and I can't find the person who did this to her."

When Edmund heard that, he gently patted Cameron's back. "Don't worry. I'll help you find the culprit."

"Really? Can you help me find the culprit?" Surprisingly, Cameron had developed deep trust and affection for Edmund despite their brief acquaintance.

"Of course. I want you to know that the lady standing behind you— Miss Elspeth—is wonderful. She will undoubtedly help you find the person who harmed your mother."

Cameron's face lit up expectantly after hearing that. He was no longer hostile toward Elspeth. "Is that true? Miss Elspeth, can you find them?"

She nodded in response. "Of course. Not only will I help you find the people who did this to your mother, but I'll also make them pay for it!"
