Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 667

Chapter 667 I’ll Destroy It
“No. I found your photo in Daddy’s room, so I guessed he must have liked you.” Then,
Cameron looked directly at Elspeth before continuing, “Elsie, he genuinely likes you.
Are you sure you don’t want to be my mommy?”
Nevertheless, she was at a loss for words as she stared into his solemn eyes. Then,
she said, “Well, Cam—”
“Not only does Daddy like you, but so do I. I don’t want any other woman to be my
mommy. I only want you. I think you’re a nice person.”
Elspeth chuckled awkwardly upon hearing this. “Cam, I don’t think you can decide on
your own. You should ask what your Daddy thinks. I’m also married. I can’t be your
mommy.”
However, Cameron frowned at that and asked, “Why not? You may be married, but
you can get a divorce.”
A divorce… Do children nowadays believe divorce is as simple as ABC? She nearly
choked when she heard that. “Enough, Cam. Don’t talk about this anymore. I love
Uncle Callum, and I will not divorce him.”
Nevertheless, the disappointment on Cameron’s face was hard to hide as he asked
again, “Are you sure you can’t get a divorce and become my mommy?”
“No.”
In any case, this was merely the perspective of a child. When he saw that Elspeth
disagreed with his suggestion, he had no choice but to push the idea to the back of
his mind. Then, he insisted, “Okay, but you must still accompany me to Daddy’s study.
I want to give you a tour.”
Ultimately, she couldn’t refuse him, so she had no choice but to comply.
Edmund’s study room was not particularly large, but it was well-organized. The entire

room’s decor felt deathly cold, just like him.
Then, Elspeth walked over to the desk, and as expected, there was a photo of her
there. However, it was a photograph of her taken from behind, and the only part of her
face that could be seen was the side of her head as she turned to look at the camera.
Cameron has sharp eyes, as he immediately recognizes me in the photo, whereas I
may not have done so.
After that, she picked up the photo and looked at it intently. Due to her interest in the
picture, the boy hurried over to talk to her about it. “This is the photo, Elsie. Look… Is
the person in this photo you?”
She nodded and replied, “It’s me.”
“Sometimes, I wonder if I am actually Daddy’s son.”
Cameron’s confession shocked Elspeth as she quickly said, “Cam, you are his son. Of
course, you are. Why would you think that?”
“I always feel like he’s not the kind of man who would have a relationship and a child
with just anyone.”
She was about to nod when she suddenly recalled witnessing Edmund getting
intimate with another woman while at home a long time ago. That memory instantly
dispelled her initial thought. Edmund is not as pure as the boy believed… However,
she could not say anything like that to a child, so she nodded agreeably. Instead, she
stated, “Your father is a good man.”
“Since you won’t be my mommy, let’s forget about this.”
Then, as though Cameron was struck by a sudden thought, he asked happily, “How
about I give you a present?”
Before Elspeth could respond, he ran out of the room. She had planned to call him
back, but he ran so fast that he soon disappeared from her view. Thus, her only option
was to wander around the room and find something to occupy her while waiting.
Suddenly, she spotted a familiar photograph in the corner of the room; it was of
Callum. There was no doubt in her mind that Edmund cared for his brother. She knew
Edmund was reluctant to open up about his feelings, acting as if nothing mattered to
him and even picking fights with Callum. Moreover, she could tell Edmund was just a
kid who wanted his brother’s attention.
While contemplating this, Elspeth’s lips gradually spread into a smile.
At this moment, Cameron ran in with a toy and handed it to her. It was a plush bear
that looked quite cute. “I found this in Daddy’s room. It’s hard to believe someone like
him would like a toy like this.”
Yes, indeed. I couldn’t have imagined it either. While holding it, the plush bear began
singing as if she had pressed a button. This voice sounds familiar… Isn’t this my
voice?
Meanwhile, there was an enthralled look on the boy’s face as he listened to the
familiar tune. Then, he said, “I knew the singer was you from the moment I heard that
song, Elsie. You see? He truly loves you. When I arrived at this home, that bear was
kept in his room, and he would sleep with it.”
Her blood instantly froze, and she was speechless for a brief moment. Then, she
uttered, “Cam—”
