Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband

The luxurious bathtub in the shower area could even accommodate six or seven people, like a mini swimming pool.

There was also a glass door inside the master bedroom, which led to an extra-large outdoor balcony. Aromatic flowers and delicate dining tables and chairs were placed here, alongside every facility imaginable.

“Mom spent a long time designing this balcony for you. You can further furnish the outdoor balcony with things you like. She also thought that young girls might like small pets, so she prepared a pet area for you. If you find it inappropriate, you can just instruct the servants to change it to your preferred area,” Jerome said a little nervously as he looked at Xaviera Evans.

“After all, there are no girls in the house, and we don’t know your preferences. The bedroom design was put together after mom consulted with numerous noble ladies and took into account their suggestions. If you think there’s anything amiss, I’ll immediately have someone redecorate it.”

Glancing up at Caleb Mamet, Xaviera found that the aloof Mr. Mamet had approached the Russell family on purpose. She realized that Mr. Mamet knew from early on that the Russell family was different from the Campbell family, and they were really kind to her.

As the biological daughter of the Campbell couple, she was arranged to live in the basement when she returned to the Campbell family. However, the Russell family wished they could give her the very best of everything.

“Sister, if you don’t want to live here, it’s okay. This room will always be yours, and you’re welcome to come back anytime. Is that fine?” Jerome asked gently.

Xaviera grinned. “Thank you, Jerome.”

Perhaps surprised by Xaviera suddenly calling him “Jerome,” he scratched his head bashfully. “You’re welcome. There’s no need to thank me between family. It’s just a room decoration, that’s all.”

Xaviera felt a little awkward as this was her first time meeting the Russell family. But Jerome was cheerful and chatted casually with her. “Sis, do you know that our family is called ‘Holy City Russell Family’?”

She nodded. Hardly anyone didn’t know that.

Jerome continued, “The Russell family is a prestigious aristocratic family in the Holy City, but our original family name wasn’t Russell but Pillar. As a rare surname, our pillar ancestor was saved by a benefactor named Russell. In order to express gratitude for their life-saving benefactor, they changed their surname to Russell.”

“Even though our family members all share the surname Russell now, it’s important to know this past event. You’re now one of us, so you should be informed.”

Xaviera obediently nodded and then listened to Jerome. “In fact, if we still had the last name Pillar, I would be the fifth child, nicknamed “the 5th child of the Pillar family,”, and since you’re the youngest child, you would be ‘the 8th child of the Pillar family’, which sounds quite interesting, haha…”

Xaviera: “???”

‘The 8th child of the Pillar family’? That name sounds kind of like an insult!

…

After Jerome went downstairs, Xaviera and Caleb rested upstairs.

Lying on the bed, Xaviera couldn’t help but giggle as Jerome’s words ‘the 8th child of the Pillar family’ echoed in her mind.

A few minutes later, a commotion and a woman’s scream came from downstairs. “Anna!”

Xaviera went to the window and sure enough, she saw the Campbell couple’s car. Smirking, she thought to herself that Jeremy Campbell and Nidya Hughes sure arrived quickly.

Two hours earlier.

Jeremy and Nidya received a call from Mrs. Russell, saying that Anna Campbell was at the Russell family residency. If they wanted their daughter back, they would have to come to the Russell family immediately.

Upon hearing this, the couple hurriedly drove to the Russell family home.

As soon as they entered, they saw their precious daughter wearing a thin, long dress, kneeling in front of the door. Her delicate body trembled slightly, eliciting sympathy.

Nidya’s heart ached, and she quickly bent down to help Anna up, exclaiming, “Anna!”

Whipping her head upward to look at Mrs. Russell, her eyes full of anger, she questioned, “Mom! Why did you do this? Anna is so obedient and sensible! How could you bear to have her kneel as punishment?”

With an unhurried demeanor, Mrs. Russell took a sip of coffee. Under the support of Mr. Caleb, she slowly walked over and said nonchalantly, “Getting so worried over an adopted daughter?”
