Josh answered softly and whispered in Jasmine’s ear, “I came with Zachary. He knows he looks too cold and will scare your little customers away, so he’s standing guard in front of the store. He’s more useful than a surveillance camera.” Jasmine chuckled. Serenity heard the young couple’s conversation and knew her man was here too. She looked out and saw Zachary’s tall and robust body. Zachary and Josh came after work. It was past the busiest time in the store. The former stood in front of the store for a few minutes and then entered. “Seren, can we go now?” Zachary asked his beloved wife gently. Serenity looked at the time and replied to him, “Soon.” She then said to her best friend, “Jas, why don’t I leave first and you shut the door later before you leave?” Jasmine readily agreed to it. “Sure.” With that, Serenity went around the counter to go into the bathroom. She put on light makeup in the mirror before coming out of the bathroom. After picking up her bag, Se

Josh laughed and asked Jasmine, “Isn’t it good to be a landlady? I remember you said you didn’t have a big dream and will be content with living as a landlady as your parents did.” “Being a landlady is too boring. All I do is collect rent every day,” Jasmine replied to him. “You can ask me to collect rent for you.” Jasmine laughed. “You’re a landlord yourself.” Back then, she did not want to help her parents collect rent every day, so she rented this place and opened a bookstore with Serenity to pass the time. It did not matter if they made money as long as she did not need to go around collecting rent. “The people from our hometown found things to do to pass the time. My aunt drives a Porsche to work now, which is better than her boss’s car. She’s a cleaner and gets about three grand a month, but she does a serious job. “Her boss said her car was too good, so she drove a BMW instead the next day. Her boss still thought that it was still too nice of a car, so she could on

The table in the dining room was filled with Jasmine’s favorite dishes. “Sir, madam, enjoy your meal.” After Josh and Jasmine took their seats, the butler said respectfully and excused himself. He left the opportunity to take care of Jasmine for Josh. Josh had always taken great care of Jasmine, who was also a foodie. Even if they had dinner by themselves, they would enjoy their food very much. After the meal, Josh took Jasmine for a walk in the courtyard to get her familiarized with the environment. That night, the young couple stayed in the villa. In the following days, Josh picked up Jasmine after work every day and returned to their home. The happy days passed quickly. Another week was over in the blink of an eye. Josh began his marriage leave. After Liberty was discharged from the hospital, Zachary brought Serenity to Annenburg for a break and a vacation as he usually did in the past. Liberty still needed home rest after being discharged. Before flying to Ann

Liberty saw Callum walking over. She immediately said, “Ms. Newman, I’m going to the bathroom.” Before Camryn could reply to her, she hurriedly slipped away to make room for Callum. Liberty knew Callum was pursuing Camryn, but Camryn was not willing to accept him and had avoided him for half a month. As a result, Serenity had to go to Spring Blossoms countless times. “Liberty, I want to go to the bathroom too. Wait for me.” Camryn found her white cane and wanted to go to the bathroom with Liberty but did not get any response. “Liberty?” “Liberty walked away.” Callum’s low voice was heard. Camryn subconsciously squeezed her white cane. She regained her normal state right away. “Mr. Callum.” She greeted Callum politely and apologized, “Excuse me.” Callum reached out to grab her wrist. “Camryn!” He called out in a low and hoarse voice. “How long are you going to avoid me?” Camryn withdrew her hand and answered calmly, “Mr. Callum, I’m not avoiding you. I’ve b

Camryn was embarrassed. Callum took a few deep breaths and eased his tone as he said, “Hand me the end of your cane, and I’ll lead you there. We’ll take fewer detours so you won’t bump into other people.” There were too many people at the wedding dinner. Camryn could not see, so she could easily bump into others. “Mr. Cal—” “Call me Callum!” Camryn pursed her lips again and said, “Tell me the route. I can walk there by myself.” “I’ll count to three. If you don’t hand me the end of your cane, I’ll carry you there!” Camryn was speechless. She reached out the end of her cane to Callum to not anger him. With that, Callum grabbed the cane. Nonetheless, he slid his hand further to the middle to shorten the distance between him and Camryn. “Follow me,” Callum said in a low voice. He took Camryn to the bathroom. “I’ll wait for you at the door. If you don’t come out in half an hour, I’ll go in.” Camryn asked, “Aren’t you afraid of being embarrassed?” “You’re not af

“I’ll count to three. If you can’t make a decision, I’ll carry you away.” Seeing that Camryn still refused to compromise, Callum threatened her again. He started counting. Camryn was worried that Callum would actually knock her out and carry her away. She quickly interrupted him when he counted to two and said, “Then please send me home. That said, you must’ve drunk a lot. Don’t drive after drinking.” Callum curled his lips into a smile and said, “I purposely stayed away from any alcohol so I could take you home.” He was the most irresponsible groomsman for once. The other groomsmen more or less had drinks on behalf of Josh. Callum was the only one who did not drink. Camryn had nothing more to say. Soon, a warm and thick hand held her hand. Camryn wanted to shake it off. “The hotel is full of people, and your cane can easily poke someone. This is good.” Callum did not give her the chance to shake him off. Instead, he took her cane away and held her hand as they wa

Soon after, Callum and Camryn arrived at the Newmans’ villa. The villa was brightly lit, and several cars were parked in front as well as in the courtyard. There was even a van. People kept moving things from the van into the house. Callum stopped the car and asked Camryn, “Are you moving? Or are you moving things back from somewhere else?” “What?” Camryn had not gotten out of the car yet. The car door and windows were tightly shut, so she could not hear the movements in front of the villa. She was startled when she heard Callum’s questions. Callum understood when he saw her reaction. He said, “A few cars are parked in front of your house, and there’s also a van in the courtyard. People are moving things from the van into your house. They look like movers to me. Did you agree to let someone move into your house?” “No.” Camryn unfastened her seat belt. She took her cane and pushed the door open to get out. “If I’m not mistaken, my elder aunts are moving in.” Apart fr

“Camryn, I dare you to throw our things out,” one of Camryn’s aunts said. “Why would I not have the guts to do so? This is my home. I don’t like you guys living here, and I won’t let you stay. What are you going to do about it?” “This is our parents’ home!” Camryn scoffed. “Your parents’ home is a house that is under Grandpa’s and Grandma’s names. This isn’t under their names, so it isn’t your parents’ home. I might be your niece, but I’m not obliged to take you in, so I won’t let you stay!” Her aunts were on her uncle’s side. They chose to lie to her about her father’s death and did not want to help her now. Furthermore, they scolded her for being ungrateful and cursed her to suffer a miserable death. Since they were unkind, she would not be virtuous. “Even if your dad is alive, he can’t kick me out if I want to move back here. You’re just a blind girl. What right do you have to treat me like this? I’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of your dad.” Aunt Brenda was hot-tempe
