Chapter 672
“Of course, Wilson,” Aria said.
Wilson froze for a moment, clearly not expecting her to agree so quickly. Then it hit him that she was only for Caleb.
He immediately pouted and complained, “If it weren’t for Caleb, you wouldn’t agree with me at all, would you?”
Before Aria could reply, Wilson waved his hand dismissively. “Whatever, I won’t hold it against you. You can’t take it back
now anyway.
“I’ll contact Caleb. You just focus on the competition,” he said, glancing at Joel and Harry. “You two better take good care of my future brother-in-law.” He deliberately emphasized the phrase “future brother-in-law,” his tone laced with teasing
sarcasm.
Joel and Harry snapped to attention and shouted in unison, “Don’t worry, Wilson. We’ll make sure nothing happens to your future brother-in-law.”
Owen instinctively looked at Aria, just as she raised her eyes to meet his. Their eyes met briefly, and a hint of helpless amusement flickered in both their gazes.

Wilson reached out and gently ruffled her hair. “Relax,” he said, ‘Caleb isn’t as weak as you think. He’ll be fine.”

Aria replied flatly, “Him.”
Wilson nodded approvingly. “Good man.”
Saxon Manor. Silvia gently reassured them, “Mom and Dad, don’t worry. Caleb often travels abroad by himself, and he’ll be fine.”
Logan forced a smile and said, “We’re not worried. You have work tomorrow, so get some rest.”
Silvia nodded. “Goodnight, Mom and Dad.”
Silvia turned and headed upstairs. Just as she reached her bedroom door, she suddenly remembered something she’d forgotten to say. When she turned back toward the top of the stairs, hushed voices drifted up from below.
“You’re keeping something from me, aren’t you?” Zoe said, her voice tense.
Logan denied it right away. “Don’t be ridiculous. I’m just a little worried about Caleb, that’s all.”
“Caleb went abroad alone when he was just a teenager, and you didn’t worry about him then, Zoe pressed. “Now he’s almost thirty. What are you worried about?”
