NovelXXXChapter 672:
Daxton’s statement subtly indicated his affection for Carrie.
Tucked within her sleeves, Carrie's hands clenched the fabric of her suit tightly. Her suspicions confirmed, she
realized her feelings about Daxton’s affection were accurate.
She lifted her gaze to meet Daxton’s.
He returned her look with a gentle expression, treating his declaration as if it were merely a casual comment.
Feeling a rush of emotion, Carrie averted her eyes and looked down.
Daxton had always been in the scategory as Camille to her—a dear friend. His unexpected revelation took
her by surprise.
Daxton, perceiving her discomfort, added softly, “If Carrie wishes, I'm content to be just her protective older
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbrother, like Reece and Arion, for all her days.” His gallant, caring demeanor won admiring looks from many
women there. Marina, watching, felt a twinge of envy, wishing Reece would show such tenderness towards her.
Kristopher’s tone, laced with a hint of accusation, broke the moment. “She obviously doesn’t feel the same.
Affection isn’t something you can force. You and Carrie have known each other so long—if there were feelings,
something would have developed by now. Your apparent devotion comes off more as emotional manipulation. If
you really cared, you wouldn't pressure her this way.” Everyone could sense the thick tension of jealousy in the
air.
Recalling Kristopher’s earlier defense of Carrie, an observant onlooker said, “Mr. Norris, do you have feelings for
Ms. Campbell too?”

Kristopher paused, his thoughts briefly on unresolved issues with Lise, and responded ambiguously, “Affection
can’t be measured in mere words; twill show what one truly feels.”
The youthful crowd wasn’t shy about delving into such discussions, enlivening the atmosphere with their banter.
One boldly asked, “Ms. Campbell, faced with interest from two such remarkable men, whom would you choose?”
Carrie responded calmly, “Love is about destiny. The world is full of exceptional people, but that doesn’t mean I'll
fall for every one of them.”
Kyson chimed in, supporting her view. “Exactly, relationships are a matter of destiny.”
As he spoke, his unwavering stare landed on Carrie, his light brown eyes capturing her surprised look.
Carrie was confused.
Why would he make such a statement out of the blue? Was he drawn to the unfolding , or perhaps, to her?
To divert attention from Carrie and Kristopher's complicated dynamic, Reece said, “Let’s remember that today is
about Kyson. Carrie isn’t looking for a relationship. Moreover, anyone seeking to be with her must not only gain

reject anyone who might cause her harm.”
While Reece’s warning might have been lost on others, Kristopher and Daxton clearly understood its
directedness.
Daxton shot Kristopher a look filled with subtle contempt.
Kristopher pretended not to notice and coldly averted his gaze.
