Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 665 Meeting Cameron
Despite her disbelief, Elspeth found Harper’s words plausible. Consequently, she went
to the hospital immediately after work.
While holding the report in her hand, she found herself at a loss for words. I’m actually
pregnant… The report indicates that I am already two months along in this pregnancy.
It’s unbelievable. Although I am emotionally and physically prepared for pregnancy, I
am not yet mentally prepared for this.
Meanwhile, Margot was in the kitchen when Elspeth returned with the report, and
seeing her distraught look, she asked, “What’s wrong, Elsie? Why do you look upset?
Is work too busy?”
“I’m pregnant.”
Although Elspeth casually uttered these words, Margot reacted immensely as she
appeared shocked and exclaimed, “Really? You’re pregnant? How many months?
When did this happen? Why didn’t I realize?”
Elspeth was stumped by the barrage of questions. She then nodded, her gaze fixed
on Margot’s bright smile. “Two months.”
“So, I’m going to be a grandmother? That’s wonderful! Do you know how long I’ve
been looking forward to this day, Elsie?” Margot was so overjoyed that she almost
reached out to grab and lift her into the air. After that, she led Elspeth to a couch,
where she promptly began to slice fruits, arrange them on a plate, and set it atop the
coffee table. “You’ll be at the center of our attention from now on. Anyone who dares
to bully you, I won’t spare them. Just let me know what you would like to eat or do,
and I will have Callum prepare it!”
When Callum walked in through the door and saw his mother’s ecstatic expression,

he believed something momentous had happened, so he asked, “What’s going on?”
“What do you mean? How in the world are you even allowed to call yourself Elsie’
husband if you are completely unaware of this?” After saying this, Margot gave her
son a disapproving look, which left him perplexed.
Since his mother was usually not so biased against him, he wondered if she had
taken the wrong medication today as her attitude toward him seemed to have
changed overnight.
Then, she placed her hands on her hips as she looked at his dumbfounded
expression. “Hurry up and take care of your wife. She’s pregnant, you know?”
Pregnant? He clearly didn’t understand what was being said as he muttered under his
breath.
“What’s wrong? Have you gone cuckoo from being too overjoyed?”
Nevertheless, Elspeth found Callum’s reaction amusing and uttered, “I’m only two
months pregnant. It’s nothing significant.”
In the following instant, Callum quickly walked over to her, kneeled, and rested his
head on her abdomen. “Let me listen to the baby.”
However, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him and stated, “It’s only been a few
months, so how can you hear anything.”
“You don’t understand the bond that exists between me and my son—”
“Who said it’s a son? What if it’s a daughter?”
“A daughter would be even better. I love daughters the most.” Callum didn’t care
whether they had a son or a daughter; he was just thrilled to have a child. Then, he
added, “Let me think about what name to give the child.”
Elspeth couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this. “Even though the child still hasn’t
fully formed, you can’t wait to give them a name.”
“I don’t know either. This is my first time being a father, and I’m nervous.” After saying
this, he was at a loss.
“Are you sure this is your first time being a father? What about Cameron—” As
Elspeth mentioned that name, she abruptly ceased speaking.
Suddenly, Callum’s once-bright grin gradually became more subdued. “You know I
never have any feelings for that child.” Then, he gazed thoughtfully into hers as if
trying to explain something.
“I know. You don’t need to explain all this to me.” She was not angry or upset because
she had long accepted Cameron and would not mind taking that child in if given the
chance. Since she was now pregnant herself, her empathy for that child grew.
“No, I have to. This matter has always been a burden in my heart,” he admitted with a
guilty expression. “I don’t know how Joella got pregnant with that child, and I don’t
know how to make you understand and accept this because it’s partly my fault too.”
While listening to him, she took a deep breath and hugged him. “I’ve already let go of
it for quite some time. I hope you can put it out of your mind as well.”
However, his voice grew somber as he said, “Don’t force yourself to accept this—”
“I’m not forcing myself to accept it; I’ve genuinely made peace with it. Trust me. Why
