Chapter 156
Thinking about this, she looked up at Callum. "I'm really not the girl you're looking for, but I do know
where the actual owner of this pendant is, because it was given to me by someone else."
"Given to you? How could it be? This is a family heirloom that signifies belonging to the Frerotte family.
Buttercup, it's okay if you don't admit it. But I've come to get you. I want to take you back to England."
Callum's deep voice resonated softly in Kendra's startled gaze.
"I'm really not that girl. This pendant isn't mine, it was given to me by a girl. The girl you want to take
away is also in Melfort. I can take you to meet her." Kendra secretly rejoiced in her heart.
Natalia, good job, hurry back to England.
Callum had some doubts that Kendra might not be the girl that he was looking for, but she had a
pendant as proof. Even though she didn't have blue eyes, he thought it was normal for a girl's eye color
to change as she grew up. However, this girl really didn't resemble the sweetie from years ago.
"Alright, as long as you take me to meet the girl who gave you the pendant, I won't give you a hard
time. Otherwise, I'll take you back to England." Callum said.
Upon hearing his words, Kendra's body began to break out in a cold sweat, "Okay, I'll take you there.
Let's go." She couldn't meet up with Lucius anymore, so she sent him a message saying she couldn't
make it.
Kendra led Callum directly to Maplewood Manor. She knocked on the door, and Linden answered, to
see Kendra and a man standing at the doorway. He paused for a moment, recalling what Mr. Magnus
had said, that no one from the Clarkson family was allowed to enter the mansion.
"Ms. Clarkson, what brings you here? Mr. Magnus said you can't come in." Linden was about to close
the door.
"Linden, I'm here to see Natalia. Tell her to come out. This gentleman wants to see her." Kendra quickly
stopped Linden from closing the door.
Linden looked at Callum, "What do you want with Mrs. Anderson?"
Mrs.? Had his sweetie gotten married?! Impossible, she was only twenty years old, how could she be
married, had he arrived too late?
"Linden, who's there?" Just as Callum was about to speak, a girl's voice suddenly sounded from inside.
Since it was Sunday, Natalia was reading in her study. Hearing someone downstairs calling for her, she
thought Lexi had come.
Natalia, dressed in a blue dress, with long hair cascading over her shoulders, slowly approached the
door.
Callum watched as the girl approached, his blood rushing backwards. It was her, the girl he had
encountered in the library that night. Her pair of blue eyes gazed over at him, her demure demeanor
akin to a goddess descending into the mortal world. She appeared before Callum gracefully.
Yes, this was his Buttercup. That day, he recognized her just from her eyes. That familiar feeling.
Even without the pendant, he had a feeling then that this girl was the one he was looking for. Was it
her? Was it her who gave the pendant to this girl?
"What are you here for?" Natalia furrowed her brows upon seeing Kendra, and then noticed the man
next to Kendra. She was slightly taken aback. Wasn't this the man she had seen in the library that day?
What was he doing with Kendra?
"Natalia, this gentleman is looking for you." Kendra quickly backed away, hoping to slip away
unnoticed. She would definitely not return the pendant to Natalia.
Callum gazed steadily at Natalia, forgetting what he wanted to say. He just stared at her. She had really
grown up, and she was so beautiful. He was astonished.
"Buttercup, I'm Cal. Do you remember me?" Callum stood there, his hands beginning to tremble. His
heart was about to leap out of his chest. He had found his sweetie. He was so excited he didn't know
what to do.
He stepped forward, wanting to grab Natalia's hand, but was blocked by Linden. "Sir, please leave. Our
lady doesn't know you." Linden assertively blocked his way.
Natalia widened her eyes at the man, then gave a small smile, "Mr. Callum, right? We've met." Linden
looked at Natalia in surprise.
"But I'm not the person you're looking for. Haven't you found your old friend yet, Mr. Callum?" Natalia
remembered him saying his name was Callum the other day. He was in Melfort looking for an old
friend.
Callum was pleasantly surprised and stepped forward, "You remember me? Buttercup, the old friend
I'm looking for is you." He stared at Natalia dumbfoundedly standing in front of him. He so badly wanted
to tell her that he was her fiancé, that fifteen years ago, he had set her as his future wife, and he was
here to take her back.
Natalia furrowed her brows, "Me? How could that be?" She smiled brightly. Callum was stunned. She
was breathtakingly beautiful. This was his Buttercup.
"No, Mr. Callum, I was born here and I haven't been anywhere else since I was a child." Natalia's moist
eyes locked onto his handsome face.
"It's you. It must be you. You were in England until you were five years old. The pendant is the proof."
He immediately turned to look for Kendra, but he didn't see the woman.
He pressed a button on his watch, and a man in black entered from outside the mansion, dragging
Kendra in.
Callum didn't even glance at Kendra, directly pulling the red string from her neck. The pendant that
Kendra had stolen when they were kids was now in Callum's hand.
"Buttercup, this is yours. It's something I gave you. It's a symbol of our family. Buttercup, tell me, did
you give this to her?" Callum was so anxious he was panting. He just wanted to tell her that she was
his Buttercup.
Natalia was shocked as she stared at Callum. She knew that the pendant Kendra had was stolen from
her. He said the it was his gift. Could he be someone from her mother's side?
She stepped forward and slowly took the pendant, touching its smooth surface.
"This is my pendant. It was stolen by her when I was young. Mr. Callum, do you recognize this
pendant?" If this pendant was left to her by her mother, then he must know her mother.
"This is a symbol of the Frerotte family. It's a gift from me to you. I gave you this pendant fifteen years
ago. Now, I'm here to take you home." Callum was over the moon. He couldn't believe he had found his
little girl so quickly.
Boom! Natalia's mind was blown by his words. He knew about the pendant, and he knew about her
fifteen years ago. Then, he must know where her mother was.
For a moment, Natalia looked at Callum, wondering if this man could be a relative of hers.
Looking at Callum, who was standing across from her with an ecstatic expression, Natalia couldn't
believe it and asked in a disbelieving tone,"You really own this pendant? So, you know my mother?
Where is she now?"
Callum shook his head, "I'm sorry, I don't know your mother. We met at the orphanage."
Natalia's face turned pale instantly. Yes, she was adopted from an orphanage by her current father.
She couldn't even remember what her mother looked like. How could she expect others to know.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
