Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 688 What Exactly Do You Want?
Slevin shook his head resolutely, showing his firm refusal to discuss this matter.
“I believe that losing your memories is a good thing.”
In simpler terms, he didn’t want to divulge past events. He was the one who had
discovered it, meaning that only he and his associates knew about it, and the truth
would forever elude her if she couldn’t make him admit anything.
Elspeth was suddenly struck by a throbbing headache as she started really thinking
about her amnesia.
Oh, forget about it. Let’s not dwell on this matter for the time being.
By the time she snapped out of her thoughts, she turned her head to check on
Damian, only to find the back seat empty.
“Damian?”
Where did Damian go? Elspeth’s heart tightened in an instant.
She had just seen him sitting in the back seat moments ago, so how could he
disappear out of nowhere?
Similarly, Slevin’s expression darkened when she noticed Damian’s disappearance.
“He probably slipped away while we were talking earlier.”
Anxiety tainted Elspeth’s voice as she exclaimed, “But the car has been moving for
quite some time. Where could he possibly be now?”
Slevin gently placed his hand on her shoulder, silently urging her to calm down.
“There’s no need to panic. We haven’t been driving for long, so he couldn’t have gone
too far. He’ll most likely be near the kindergarten.”
“If we turn back now, we should be able to find him.”
Elspeth nodded in agreement, prompting Slevin to quickly double back toward the
kindergarten.

Meanwhile, Callum couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and frustration as he
laid his eyes on the sulking child in front of him. For some reason, this little guy had

mysteriously sneaked back without his entourage. He initially assumed that they had
gone out with Slevin on a date, but to his surprise, the mischievous little rascal
suddenly came running back while Callum was still feeling disheartened.
“Why did you decide to return all of a sudden?”
Damian shot him a disdainful look before continuing, “I heard that you’re my dad?”
“Of course, haven’t you noticed how we resemble each other?”
To say they looked alike would be an understatement; they practically mirrored each
other.
Damian circled around him, meticulously examining him from head to toe before
finally nodding in approval. “Not bad. You do look a bit like me.”
Slevin shook his head resolutely, showing his firm refusal to discuss this matter.
Callum playfully tapped his forehead as he listened to the mature words tumbling out
of this child. “What are you saying? It’s obvious that you are the one who looks like
me.”
Callum playfully tapped his forehead as he listened to the mature words tumbling out
of this child. “What are you saying? It’s obvious that you are the one who looks like
me.”
“Don’t forget, you’re the one who has wronged us. There’s a probationary period if you
want to be my dad,” Damian replied while rubbing his own forehead.
“What do you mean by ‘I’ve wronged you?” Callum couldn’t help but protest upon
hearing those words, saying, “I haven’t done anything wrong! I’ve been searching for
you high and low for four to five years. And I have never ever thought of giving up.”
Damian glanced at him with a mix of belief and doubt. “Is that true?”
“Of course, it’s true. It’s just that your mom doesn’t remember me now. So, if you want
me to be your dad, you have to listen to me and cooperate with me. That way, your
mom can regain her memories, and we can be together once again.”
In the time immediately following their departure, Callum had already sorted out his
thoughts. He figured that it truly wasn’t anyone’s fault that Elspeth had amnesia and
no longer remembered him. Frankly, there was no point in dwelling on the past
anymore, so his current priority was to find a way to help her regain her memories.
That way, it would also awaken her feelings for him.
Damian’s mood brightened upon the thought of finally having a father of his own,
evident by the sparkle in his eyes. “How should I cooperate?”
“First and foremost, you should mention me more often in front of your mom and
perhaps speak positively about me.”
“Isn’t this painting a rosy picture?”
It wasn’t fair to expect him to say nice things without any effort on Callum’s part.
“Of course not. I won’t overlook anything that needs to be done. But when I do my
part, I hope you can help me by offering compliments about me to your mom.”
Damian could see how earnest Callum was as he reluctantly nodded. “What’s next?”
“I can handle the next steps without your assistance.”
Well, that sounds quite simple.
Nonetheless, Callum still had a question. “I want to know, what is the relationship
between Uncle Slevin and you, and what is his relationship with your mom?”
He worried that Slevin might have harmed Elspeth and Damian over the years. Yet,
the child’s thoughts seemed different from what he had anticipated.
When Slevin was mentioned, Damian’s face revealed a trace of fondness. “Uncle
Slevin has been incredibly kind to us. He has taken care of my mom and me for so
