Suddenly, Callum took my hand and said, "Let's go. It's been three years since we last met. I'll introduce you to my father and mother."
As soon as he was about to touch me, I immediately reacted and took a step back to avoid his touch.
With that, Callum stared at me confusedly.
I fell to my knees, fighting to hold back the tears in my eyes. "Please forgive me, General. I…" I stuttered, unable to continue.
These three years of experience had made me afraid of men's touch.
Callum's gaze lingered on my face, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he turned around and walked ahead. I followed silently behind him.
A lot of people could be seen attending the birthday banquet.
Since I suddenly appeared here after being gone for three years, the visitors who happened to see me started gossiping about me. Some of them were familiar to me, but others weren't.
"I think she's the one, right? That legitimate daughter from the Holden Family," someone whispered to the others.
"Why does she look so pale and thin? She's not as pretty," the others replied.
