“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 been too busy lately.”
She had been busy arguing with her two aunts and stabilizing the morale of Newman Enterprise. She did not have time to think about her and Callum indeed.
Camryn’s aunts wanted to snatch Newman Enterprise away based on the fact that she could not see and did not know how to do business; the enterprise would fail if left with her.
Camryn had two cousins who worked at the enterprise and were also valued by her stepfather, but their positions in the company were still lower than that of Dalton. Since Camryn had Dalton’s help, she had the upper hand for now.
“You are I go to your flower shop every day to look for you, but you’re not there. It’s the same when my sister-in-law goes to find you as well, and you never called her. You changed your phone number and stayed far away”
Callum stared deadly at her
1 know you’re busy-busy being together with Mr Mitchell, right?”
Callum said that out of jealousy
Camryn had explained that she and Dalton were like siblings. but she trusted him so much and were so was seatrus
M
un did puuduta uto me?
good
She had not seen Callum for half a month.
If he still knew that she was with Dalton, it could only mean that he looked into her using his power as the second son of the Yorks.
“I just care about you and want to know what you’re doing every day.”
“What can I do? What I do is what I should do, and what I should do is my personal matter. It has nothing to do with you. Mr. Callum, please excuse me.”
Camryn did not want to argue with Callum at Jasmine’s wedding. She suppressed her anger and excused herself. She walked past him and slowly went forward.
Callum turned around and watched her leave.
He strode forward to catch up to her after a moment of silence.
Camryn quickened her pace when she heard his footsteps.
Unfortunately, she was in an unfamiliar environment and could not see. Speeding up would only cause her to trip.
“Be careful.”
Callum reached out his long arms and caught her when she was falling forward. He saved her from hitting the ground.
Camryn hurriedly pushed Callum away before she even stood still.
Callum was slightly irritated. “Are you so afraid of me? I just caught you and didn’t take advantage of you. Did you have to push me away in such a hurry?”
Camryn took a few steps back and kept her distance. She regained her calmness, making Callum feel angry, hateful, and helpless.
“Thank you, Mr. Callum.”
“Don’t call me that-call me Callum!”
Camryn pursed her lips.
Callum was a little frustrated. He said, “I’ll take you to the bathroom.”
“I’m a female.”
Camryn could not enter the bathroom with him.
Callum responded with a dark face, “I’ll only walk you to the entrance and won’t follow you in I still care about my image”
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 afraid of that, so why should I? I’m super thick-skinned.”
Camryn did not say more and slowly walked to the restroom.
She only went in to wash her face and clear her head.
She was not good enough for Callum!
Even if Old Mrs. York chose her….
Callum could find a better woman.
If Camryn was not blind, she could consider him.
After staying in the bathroom for a few minutes, someone entered.
“Is that man at the door the second son of the Yorks? Why is he standing there?”
“He’s probably waiting for someone.”
“The men of the Yorks showed up together. They’re so handsome.”
“Mr. Bucham’s groomsmen are comparable to male celebrities.”
Camryn heard the discussion among some women.
She knew Callum was still waiting outside.
She sighed internally and washed her hands again. Afterward, she put on her sunglasses and walked out with her cane as though nothing happened.
When she moved, the women who entered the bathroom stopped talking and watched her leave in silence.
Callum thought Camryn would hide inside for at least half an hour. He went forward when he saw her come out.
He quietly took one end of her cane and led her away.
As he walked, he asked Camryn, “Are you full?”
“Mhm.”
