Chapter 320 Daxton, Elizabeth replied absentmindedly, still inspecting the pen in her hand.

He saved me at sea that time.

If I gave him a gift just for that, it might seem a bit deliberate.

But his birthday is coming up soon, so I figured Id pick something out while I had the time today.

Kristophers expression darkened instantly.

A cold smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he remarked, his tone dripping with sarcasm, His birthday? You seem to remember it quite well.

Elizabeth, oblivious to his shift in mood, continued focusing on the pen.

We havent seen each other in years.

How could I remember that? she said offhandedly.

The sudden brightness in Kristophers expression was hard to miss.

Nearby, Sandra leaned toward Elijah, her voice a conspiratorial whisper.

Does Kristopher enjoy being ignored? Back when Elizabeth used to cater to his every whim, he was always indifferent.

Now that she doesnt care about him, hes like a happy puppy… Look at him, getting excited over one little sentence.

Elijah, lost in his thoughts, muttered absently, Speaking of which, Daxtons some kind of distant relative of Elizabeths… He trailed off mid-sentence, realizing his blunder.

Snapping back to attention, he grabbed Sandras arm, dragging her toward the exit.

Kristopher, Elizabeth, we havent finished our movie yet.

Well leave you to it! Sandra blinked, confused by the sudden retreat, but Elijahs urgency left no room for protest.

Elizabeth stood still, stunned by Elijahs earlier comment.

Distant relative? she murmured.

Since when did the Campbell family have any distant relatives worth mentioning? Then it clicked.

Elijah wouldnt know anything about the Campbell familys genealogy, but he would know about the Norris family.

That meant Daxton wasnt her relativehe was Kristophers.
