Married At First Sight Chapter 4066

Chapter 4066
“Your husband is completely devoted to you. Your best days are still ahead. As for your mother… let her live with the regret.”
Dalton had never encountered a mother like Mrs. Newman. There were many biased mothers in the world, but few as cruel and vicious as her.
“She regrets it—so much that her intestines must be turning green,” Camryn said with a bitter laugh. “But she doesn’t regret hurting me. She regrets giving birth to me. She regrets not aborting me. She regrets not strangling me to death the moment I was born.
“She called me her nemesis, said I existed just to ruin her. She claimed a fortuneteller told her, when she was pregnant with me, that I would bring disaster to my parents. That if she didn’t kill me, I would eventually destroy her.
“But those were just excuses. If she hadn’t killed my father, if she hadn’t indulged Carrie’s mistakes, and if she hadn’t gone out of her way to hurt others, how could she have ended up in my hands?
“Sometimes I visit her and my stepfather in prison. They don’t want to see me, but I go anyway. I want them to see how well I’m living now. The son-in-law she chose is still her sonin-law—but not for her ‘precious’ daughter. He married me, the daughter she hated the most.
“The company and properties she and my uncle stole from my father are back in my hands. And I must thank them, really—they worked so hard to grow my father’s company and made so much money for me.
“As for her precious daughter… she’s nothing more than an old man’s mistress now. Even if she gets pregnant, she can’t keep the baby. She has no choice but to abort. Every time I visit them in prison, I feel satisfied seeing how much they hate me. Watching them seethe and suffer—it makes me happy.”
Camryn laughed at herself, her voice tinged with bitterness. “Brother Dal, maybe I’m not a good person either. Maybe I’m just as bad. Because I enjoy seeing my mother hate me and knowing there’s nothing she can do about it.”
Dalton shook his head. “Camryn, you’re not a bad person. You’re human. It’s not your fault— it’s hers and your stepfather’s. Anyone in your position would feel the same. Don’t blame yourself. You’re not wrong to feel this way.”
He had been by his sister’s side as she grew up, and he was no saint. The pain her mother had inflicted on her was unforgettable.
Even though Mrs. Newman gave her life, Camryn could never forgive her. The wounds ran too deep.
Some people had tried to convince Camryn to let go of her hatred, saying that her mother gave her life and that alone was reason enough to forgive. But she always pushed back.
Don’t preach kindness to others if you’ve never walked in their shoes.
Dalton’s voice softened. “Don’t think about them anymore. Whatever happens to them in prison—whether they reflect on their actions or not—that’s on them. Even if they do get out someday, the Newman family is no longer what it was. Everything is in my hands now.”
Camryn nodded. “Trenton has always been sensible. Carrie, on the other hand… she’ll pay the price for her actions sooner or later. I won’t stand in her way if she chooses to destroy herself.”
Dalton agreed. “Exactly. Don’t waste another thought on them. Focus on living your life. Speaking of which, I need to get back to work. I want to wrap up everything on my plate so I don’t have to work overtime tonight. I want to spend the evening with Melissa.”
He paused, then added with a smile, “Oh, and tomorrow morning, I won’t be going to the office. I’m taking Melissa to her prenatal checkup.”
Dalton never missed a single one of Melissa’s appointments.
Camryn smiled warmly. “I understand, Brother. Go be with my sister-in-law. Honestly, I’m a little envious. And not just of you—of Serenity and the others in Wiltspoon too. Zach always accompanies Serenity to her checkups.”
She sighed softly.
In the future, when Camryn became a mother, she knew Callum would be just as attentive to her as Zachary was to Serenity.
