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.
