Chapter 1466
The time Callum and Camryn spent together was not long, so Serenity felt that her brother-in-law was rather quick to have developed their relationship thus far. At least, he knew about relationships better than Zachary.“Your face is swollen, and your lip also looks swollen as if you got injured. Did you kiss Camryn without her consent? She slapped you, didn’t she?”Serenity’s eyes flashed with interest.She was not stupid. She had experienced it before.Her guess was right on the money once she saw Callum’s appearance—Callum forcefully kissed Camryn.His handsome face fell and reddened, but he said nothing.It was an admission by silence.Serenity stood up and walked away.“Serenity, Serenity, you said that you’d help me.”Callum said nervously, thinking that Serenity did not want to help him.Serenity said without looking back, “I’m going to get a glass of water. You scared the hell out of me.”Callum was speechless.After pouring herself a cup of water, she came over whi

Callum looked at his sister-in-law’s speechless face and asked carefully, “Should I not have told her the truth? Should I have kept lying to her? Maybe I shouldn’t have let her know that Nana chose her to be my wife.”Before Serenity could respond, he continued, “I just didn’t want to be like Zachary. I was afraid she’d be angrier if I kept the truth from her for a long time till she finally finds out about it, so I was honest with her. I didn’t want to lie to her.”After what happened to Zachary, Callum tried his best not to deceive Camryn.Was telling the truth also the wrong move?Serenity paused before sharing her thoughts, “No, but the way you phrased it will make Camryn think that you’re not sincere. You’re just finishing the task assigned by Nana. Put yourself in her shoes. Would you be happy if you were her?“In addition to her sensing that you’re regarding her as a task, and that you don’t really like her, she’ll feel that she’s not worthy of you. It’s true that she’s the

Serenity said, “Exactly. Bring out your shamelessness and go to Spring Blossoms now to apologize properly. Don’t say stuff like you’re only pursuing Camryn because she’s the wife that Nana chose for you. Just pursue her and let her feel your true feelings for her.“She was willing to accompany you to Jasmine’s engagement party, which means she has feelings for you. As long as she feels that you’re treating her sincerely instead of just a task to be completed, she’ll be able to accept you openly.”Callum thought about it and nodded. “I understand what you mean.”“Camryn can’t see, so she’s very sensitive. You have to be careful and considerate. Don’t be disdainful of her.”“I don’t disdain her. I never have.”Serenity hummed.Callum did not disdain Camryn for being blind. He just adopted the wrong mindset because he was obeying his nana’s arrangement.“I’ll go to Camryn now to apologize. If she doesn’t want to see me, I’ll loiter in her store until she forgives me.”Callum got u

Zachary hummed and said, “Don’t order takeout for lunch. I’ll send food over to your side. Let’s eat together.”Serenity was alone in the store, and Zachary could not bear to let his beloved wife eat takeout. He had already ordered food from Wiltspoon Hotel and a bodyguard picked it up. Then, he would bring the food over during lunch break so the couple could have lunch in the bookstore together.“Okay, I won’t order takeout. You get back to work. School is almost out, so I’ll be busy too.”Serenity hung up the phone after speaking.On the other side, Zachary looked at his phone and complained, “She didn’t even give me the chance to say bye.”Serenity began to work while Zachary finished his work and left the office.The bodyguard just came back from getting the insulated lunch boxes from the hotel. He rushed out to receive Zachary when he saw the latter come downstairs.A few minutes later, Zachary’s car drove out of York Corporation.He left ten minutes before lunch break, so

Serenity wiped the small dining table clean.Her heart warmed when she looked at the dishes. No matter the time, he always prepared her favorites.“What did Callum say to you? What trouble did he get into?” Zachary asked curiously as he filled his beloved wife’s plate with food.“He misunderstood Camryn and did something out of line, so he wanted me to help him apologize. I told him that he had to bear the consequences of his own actions.”Serenity did not go into detail because she felt that it was Callum and Camryn’s private matter. Her brother-in-law told her about it because he trusted her, so she could not tell anyone else about it. She did not tell Zachary lest Camryn felt embarrassed to see him in the future.Even though she did not go into detail, Zachary was a man who had also forced a kiss on Serenity before, so he quickly guessed what happened.He wisely did not continue to inquire.While the couple had lunch, Duncan went to the hospital after work. He stood outside t

Mrs. Lewis thought about it and decided to see Liberty before visiting her friend.With that in mind, she went to Liberty’s ward.When the York bodyguards saw Mrs. Lewis coming, one of them went into the ward to tell Liberty.The bodyguards did not stop Mrs. Lewis when she approached. They helped her knock on the door and opened the door for her.“Mrs. Lewis.”Mrs. Lane and another maid were dining in the small lounge. When they saw Mrs. Lewis come in, they quickly put down their lunch boxes, stood up, and greeted her respectfully.“Oh, you’re all eating? Don’t mind me and continue eating. I just came to see Liberty.”Mrs. Lewis left the house after eating.Mrs. Lane still escorted her into the ward.Liberty finished eating, but Sonny ate slowly. His mother fed him while saying, “Sonny, you can’t eat so slowly in the future. You’ll have to eat by yourself when you go to preschool.”“I know, Mom.”Seeing Mrs. Lewis come in, Liberty passed the bowl to her son to let him eat by
Chapter 1472
Mrs. Lewis saw that there were no freshly delivered flower bouquets or fruit baskets in the ward and completely believed Liberty’s words.She thought, ‘Did that boy really not come to see Liberty? But he admitted that he was here to visit her.’However, Liberty said that she did not see him.There was only one possibility—her son came but did not enter the ward.That was why Liberty did not see him.In the end, the problem lay with her son.“He was already here at the hospital and on the same floor anyway. Why didn’t he come see you?” Mrs. Lewis asked, pretending to be ignorant.Liberty smiled and said nothing.Duncan and her paths crossed frequently, but most of the time, it was because Duncan going to her store for breakfast.He helped her a lot, but that was only because she was Zachary’s sister-in-law.Mrs. Lewis looked at Sonny, who was eating by himself, and said, “I won’t bother you anymore, Liberty. You should continue feeding Sonny. I have to visit my friend now.”“

Serenity looked at the message her sister sent and was silent for a moment before replying, [Liberty, have you ever thought that Zachary isn’t the reason Mr. Lewis is good to you?]Liberty asked, [What other reasons would he have? He only helped me because of Zachary. When I joined his company, he hired me because of Zachary. I heard him call Zachary.][I originally wanted to wait until you recovered and got discharged from the hospital before talking to you about this, but I feel wronged on your behalf at the insinuations that Mrs. Lewis threw at you.]Serenity sent the message and called Liberty.Liberty swiftly answered the phone.“Tell me, Seren. What is it that I don’t know? Why did Mrs. Lewis say that?”“Liberty, you were unconscious for one night when you were injured. It was Duncan who watched over you all night outside the ICU. He was also the one who saw you in tears and called the doctor. He didn’t sleep at all that night. You were still weak when you woke up, so you d
