Chapter 1423
In the meantime, after leaving the hospital, Callum did not send Camryn back to Spring Blossoms but went to Wiltspoon Hotel instead. He said, “I accompanied you to the hospital, so lunch is your treat.”Camryn, who was thinking about something else, was instantly speechless.He always made her buy him meals!She looked at Callum and asked calmly, “Where do you want to eat?”“I think...”His cell phone rang before he could finish, interrupting what he was about to say.There was no caller ID saved to the number, but he recognized it. It was from Mr. Newman.“Your uncle is calling,” Callum said to Camryn.Camryn frowned and then said calmly, “I think he’s anxious and wants you to help.”Mr. Newman was indeed feeling uneasy. He was also fearful.His wife and he were tied to the same boat. Although most of it was obviously his wife’s doing, he could not escape being scrutinized and investigated. He would not be able to get away if the police investigated deeper.His wife and he

Callum spoke to Camryn. He swiped the answer icon before Camryn could respond and shoved the phone to her.“Hurry up and take the phone unless you want us to die together in an accident.”Camryn had no choice but to take the phone from him.Mr. Newman called out pleasingly from the phone, “Mr. Callum, are you free? I’d like to treat you to lunch.”Camryn brought the phone to her ear. When she heard her stepfather’s question, she said softly, “Mr. Callum is driving now, Uncle. He can’t answer the phone.”“Camryn? You’re with Mr. Callum? Okay, tell him that I’d like to invite him to lunch and ask if he’s available. You can come with him too.” Mr. Newman’s tone was gentle when he heard his niece’s voice and realized that she was with Callum.“Mr. Callum, my uncle said he wants to invite you to lunch. He asked if you’re available.”“Sure, I am. We’re going to lunch right now, aren’t we? Tell Mr. Newman that we’ll wait for him at Wiltspoon Hotel. Tell him to come quickly.”He could

Camryn held back her anger and said, “I don’t know what you look like, Mr. Callum. How could I dislike you for being ugly?“Marriage is an important event, Mr. Callum. We’re not playing house. We’re just friends at best and not even a couple. How can you talk about marriage?”Callum did not answer immediately. Just when Camryn thought that she persuaded him, he said gently, “You don’t have to be a couple to get married. Zachary saw Serenity for the first time when they got their marriage license, and they’re doing great now. They’re so sweet to each other that I’m envious.”Camryn was speechless.Zachary got married to Serenity all of a sudden, but were all the men of the York family going to follow in his footsteps?Or did they want to learn from Zachary because they were too busy and could not be bothered to date?Callum said, “If you want to be a couple first, that’s easy. I’ll be your boyfriend. We’re a couple now.”Camryn was speechless. “Don’t you have to ask for my permis

When they arrived at Wiltspoon Hotel, Callum parked the car, got out, and quickly went around to reach the passenger seat. He waited for Camryn to get out of the car before standing in front of her.“Mr. Callum?”Camryn raised her head to face him.He was close enough that she could easily smell the familiar scent of his body.Callum suddenly took her hand.Then, he raised it high and pressed her hand against his face.“Touch my face, Camryn. Although you can’t see what I look like now, you can feel it with your hands. I know you can imagine what I look like. You’re a very smart girl.”Camryn quietly faced him.After a long time, her hand moved.Callum let go of her hand.He let her hands roam his face gently with a hint of tenderness.Her long and soft fingers felt rough as they brushed all over his features.That was because her palms were full of thick calluses.Her hands were actually very soft and beautiful.Camryn imagined Callum’s appearance in her mind by feeling

“Camryn, why were you with Mr. Callum?” Mr. Newman asked.Camryn said faintly, “I went to the hospital to visit Liberty and bumped into Mr. Callum, who was kind enough to send me home. He received your call while we were on the way.”Mr. Newman was silent before asking with concern, “How is Ms. Hunt?”“Her life is no longer in danger.”Camryn said, “I went to apologize to her on Mom’s behalf.”“Camryn, it might not be your mother who was behind it. Don’t say that your mother did it until she’s convicted,” Mr. Newman said crossly.“The police wouldn’t take Mom away unless they had evidence. No one involved that day managed to run away. Even if you just came back, you should have heard about it too. I believe the police wouldn’t falsely accuse Mom.”In fact, Camryn did not know why the police arrested her mother.They took her away swiftly.Well, the truth would come to light sooner or later.Her mother always thought she was powerful with her underworld forces, but she did not

Mr. Newman looked at his niece and said, “Mr. Callum, my niece is different from others. She can’t see. If you don’t take responsibility for seeing her exposed, she’ll never be able to get married.”“Uncle!”Camryn said solemnly, “I won’t marry, and I don’t need Mr. Callum to be responsible for me. I didn’t suffer any losses. I wasn’t taken advantage of by that man that night, so there’s no need for Mr. Callum to take responsibility.”Mr. Newman was not her real father, but he was her elder.He was also her stepfather.Mr. Newman making such a request to Callum made Camryn feel so humiliated that she wanted to bury herself in the ground.“Camryn, I promised your dad that I would raise you into an adult and find a good husband for you. I didn’t take care of you and caused you to lose your sight. I’m already feeling guilty about it. If I don’t help you find a suitable husband, I won’t have the face to see your father when I die.”Mr. Newman was actually doing this to ruin Camryn’s

After exiting the room, Callum took Camryn to another room, ordered food again, and told her to continue to treat him to lunch.He said righteously, “Your uncle tried to force me to marry you. I suffered grievances, so you should buy me lunch.”Camryn felt amused and exasperated. “I didn’t say I wouldn’t. You don’t have to make excuses.”“I’ll send you home after lunch. Pack up and move out of that house. I’m worried your uncle will do something to you.”“Where am I supposed to move to?”“My place, of course. I have a house near your place. Move into my house and I’ll ask someone to take care of you. Don’t worry, I won’t live in the same house, lest others say that we’re cohabiting before getting married.”Camryn paused. “Mr. Callum, stop talking about marriage. I won’t follow my uncle’s arrangement. I’ll ask my assistant to help me tidy up the small room inside my store later. I can stay there for now. It’s much more convenient that way too.”She would move back home when her u

“Bye-bye.”Sonny waved to Elisa and blew her a kiss, making everyone laugh.Zachary personally escorted Audrey and Elisa out of the inpatient building.“You’ve worked hard these days, Zachary.”Audrey said gratefully, “It’s thanks to you that Seren and her sister could turn their fortunes around. You helped them a lot. Thank you.”Zachary said warmly, “Seren is my wife, and her sister is my sister. They’re my family. It’s only natural that I help them.”He helped Serenity and Liberty tremendously, but it was also because they got acquainted with him that they ended up being involved in trouble.“You’re a responsible man. I feel relieved leaving Serenity in your hands.”Audrey had always known that Zachary was one of the most outstanding young men in Wiltspoon. Her daughter had a good eye.However, they were not destined to be together.Instead, Zachary became her nephew-in-law. At least he did not fall into the hands of someone else.Audrey and Elisa left.Zachary walked th
