They were not related to one another in any way. He was definitely after something by helping her, but he refused to say, and she could not guess.
Camryn did not like this feeling of being in the palm of his hands.
Callum did not speak.
Camryn remained silent when she did not get an answer.
She could feel Callum’s gaze on her.
After a while, the waiter served the food.
“Let’s eat.”
Callum finally opened his mouth but did not answer Camryn.
Camryn could not see, so he filled her bowl with soup and placed it in front of her. “Have some soup first. I’ll serve you the other dishes when you’re done.”
“Thank you, Mr. Callum.”
“You’re welcome.”
Callum also served himself a bowl of soup and ate while occasionally putting more food on Camryn’s plate.
Camryn usually ordered fast food where all the side dishes were placed together, so she could just eat slowly.
Now that she was eating with Callum, she did not know where the food was. Even when she reached out to stab the food with her fork, she did not know what she would be eating.
She could only’accept Callum’s care.
If it could be avoided, she never wanted to eat with Callum again in her life.
“Do you like shrimp?” Callum asked as he finished the soup and placed the bowl down. Without waiting for her answer, he put on a pair of disposable gloves, grabbed a few shrimps to peel off the shells, and dipped them into the sauce before placing them on Camryn’s plate.
“I deshelled the shrimp and dipped them in the sauce for you. You can eat them straight.“
If Grandma May were here to see Callum’s actions, she would praise him for being thoughtful. He was much better than Zack was in the past.
Back then, Zack still needed Grandma May to hint at him. He was proud and unwilling to admit that he cared about Serena, so he used Sonny as an excuse. Grandma May wanted.
to kick him.
“Thank you, Mr. Callum.”
Camryn expressed her gratitude.
She used to eat shrimp with shells on without the dipping sauce because it was inconvenient.
However, she usually did not eat seafood at home. They would not give her the chance to.
All they gave her was plain pasta. If her stepfather was home, she would get a few meatballs.
Her mother said that she was blind and could not see the food she was eating, so it was good enough that she had pasta to eat. At least she would not starve to death.
Callum was much nicer to her than her family.
Camryn was grateful for his thoughtfulness, but she wondered why he was doing this. It could not be because he fancied her, right?
Before she lost her sight, she knew she was very good–looking. Her stepfather said that she took after both her parents‘ best features. She looked like her father and mother at the same time.
Carrie was extremely jealous of her good looks.
However, with Callum’s status, he should have seen all kinds of beautiful women out there. How could he fancy a blind person like her?
Even if… Even if he fancied her now, it was short–lived. It was just for the novelty.
At that thought, Camryn told herself, ‘Don’t get captivated by Callum’s momentary thoughtfulness. He will never marry a blind person. He’s just in it for the novelty.”
Callum did not know that Camryn had built up a wall in her heart to keep him out and make his road to court her even more arduous.
After he peeled the shrimp for her, he gave her a drumstick and a fish filet. “I’m a gentleman. I’m not doing this as a favor to you. I’m taking care of you because this was how I was raised. You don’t need to feel indebted to me.”
Camryn smiled faintly. “Thank you, Mr. Callum. Am I really not in your debt if you do this for me?”
“You’re not.”
“I’m relieved.”
If he told her that she was indebted to him and asked her to buy him another meal, she would have words with him.
The two enjoyed their meal.
When it was time to bill, it was naturally Camryn who paid since it was her treat. “I’ll send you back to your shop, Ms. Newman.”
Callum took Camryn out of the hotel and said he would send her back to the flower shop.
“Thank you, but there’s no need. You can just help me stop a bus that will pass by my shop.”
Callum thought of how she would have to come out often and take the bus by herself, so he said, “All right. I’ll take you to the bus stop.”
“Thank you.”
Camryn thanked him again.
Since she met him, the words she said most often to him were ‘thank you‘.
Fortunately, Bus No. 6 was arriving just as they walked to the stop. Callum helped Camryn hail the bus and watched her board before turning around to head back to the hotel.
He met his loving brother and sister–in–law in the small parking lot in front of the hotel again.
“Callum, where’s Ms. Newman?” Serena asked right off the bat when she only saw him. without Camryn.
She knew that Callum and Camryn ate together
“She went back.”
Callum stopped to answer Serena and asked Zack, “Are you sending Serena back?”
“Yeah,” Zack answered faintly.
Serena admonished Callum. “Ms. Newman can’t see. It’s not convenient for her to travel. Why didn’t you send her to her store and let her take the bus back by herself?”
“I walked her to the bus station. She said she didn’t need me to send her back.”
Serena and Zack were speechless.
Camryn said she did not need him to send her back, and he actually did just that. Was he not worried that something would happen to her on the way back?
Callum guessed his brother and sister–in–law’s thoughts and said, “Camryn can’t see, but she can move freely if she’s familiar with her environment. Once she’s used to the route from Spring Blossoms to our office, she can come to find me anytime she misses me.”
Serena was at a loss for words.
Zack laughed snidely and mocked his brother, “You might miss her, but she won’t miss.
you.”
Camryn had no idea that Callum was approaching her to try to cultivate their feelings.
Callum was already treating Camryn as his wife but in Camryn’s heart, Callum was nothing.
at all.
“That’s fine. If I miss her but don’t have time to find her, I can just tell her to send over a bouquet of flowers so I can see her–like what I did earlier.”
Zack and Serena were speechless.
