She did not want her husband to keep bringing up the mention of having a baby girl and stress her out.
“They’re a good match. It’d be better if Ms. Newman regained her sight. What do you mean Callum is courting death?”
Zack still did not know what his brother had done.
Serena told him, “He called the flower shop and told Camryn to send him a bouquet of flowers. And he told her not to let anyone lead her and asked her to walk by herself. He’s not considerate at all of the fact that Camryn can’t see.
“Isn’t that courting death? I bet he’ll regret his decision every day in the future.”
Zack felt a flush rose to his cheeks at the mention of regretting one’s decisions as he too did many things he had come to regret.
“It’s his funeral. He doesn’t know how to learn from the example I set for him, I won’t entertain him if he comes to us for help in the future.”
Serena looked at him and grinned.
Zack knew what she was smiling at and felt a little annoyed and embarrassed. He pressed her into his arms, pinned her head, and leaned down to seal her mouth so she could not laugh at him again.
Callum guessed that his brother and sister–in–law were talking about him, but he did not care.
When they first got married, Callum and his brothers avidly discussed the couple. Everyone wondered if Zack would be conquered by Serena.
What Callum regretted the most was that he did not make a bet with his brothers. If he did, he would have won.
He bet Zack would fall in love.
However, it seemed like all his other brothers also thought Zack would be conquered by Serena.
Alas, his oldest brother was not tough enough. If he was, he would be able to go eight to ten years without falling in love with Serena… However, Zack succumbed in less than half a year!
Callum walked out of the office building with Camryn under the gaze of countless employees.
Camryn could feel the numerous eyes on her. Fortunately, she remained focused and calmly followed Callum.
“Mr. Callum, my shop assistant is still waiting for me outside. I’ll go out and tell her to go back to the store first. Why don’t we meet in front of the building?”
Camryn could not see everyone’s expressions, but she could imagine what she looked like following Callum with a bouquet of flowers in her arms. The scene could be easily misunderstood.
“It’s dinner now, and there are too many people around. You’ll bump into people easily since you can’t see. We’ll leave in my car, and I’ll stop for you to talk to your assistant. Isn’t that much more convenient than you walking out by yourself?”
Camryn fell silent.
She did not want to leave in Callum’s car.
After thinking about it, she realized that she would be treating Callum to dinner. She still had to sit in his car after leaving the company.
Thus, Camryn calmed down.
A few minutes later, Callum saw a girl on a motorcycle staring at the people leaving and entering the building. He guessed the girl was Camryn’s assistant and stopped the car as he reached her.
He lowered the window and asked, “Are you the girl working in Spring Blossoms?”
“Yes, who–Boss.”
The girl saw Camryn sitting in the passenger seat.
“You head back to the store first. I’m buying Mr. York dinner.”
Camryn told the girl to go back to the store first when she heard the latter’s voice. There was no need for her to continue waiting here.
The girl was aware that Camryn was sending the flowers over in order to get a large business order. Since Camryn said that she was treating Callum to dinner, it meant that she had successfully gotten the order. She must be treating him to dinner as repayment.
The girl did not think much about it and rode back to the store when Callum drove the car away.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at Wiltspoon Hotel.
Callum booked a private room.
After the two sat down at the table, he turned his head to look at the waiter, who immediately handed him the menu.
The waiter thought in confusion, ‘Mr. Callum eats here every day. Why does he need the menu?‘
Callum did not care what the waiter was thinking. He opened the menu, read the names of the dishes and the prices to Camryn, and let her order.
“You can order whatever you want, Mr. Callum.”
The meal was Camryn’s treat, so she told him to order what he wanted.
“You only brought a few hundred dollars. I’m worried the food I order will be too expensive.” Camryn was silent before saying, “Didn’t you say you could lend me the money?”
Callum laughed. “I did say that, but you look like you don’t want to owe me money. We’ll just order some cheaper dishes.”
Camryn did not object as she listened to him listing off a few dishes that were not too expensive.
The waiter took down the orders and said respectfully, “Please wait a moment.”
Callum said, “There’s no need to rush. I don’t have plans later, so it doesn’t matter if the food comes out slow.”
Camryn spat in her heart, ‘You’re not in a rush, but I am.”
However, she was the host now and could not say such a thing.
After the waiter left, Callum asked, “How has business been recently?”
“It’s okay.”
“Competition is tough. Where do you get your goods from?”
Camryn asked, “Why are you asking all this, Mr. Callum? Do you want to open a flower shop?”
“I was thinking of helping you find a cheaper supplier so you can make a greater profit.”
“Thank you, but I’ve been working with my supplier for years, and he has always given me the best prices.” The supplier gave her the best price after finding out that she was blind.
They worked together well for many years, so Camryn had no intention of changing her supplier.
Furthermore, she would owe Callum a favor if she accepted his offer.
He gave her two large orders, and she was repaying the favor by treating him to a meal. She did not want to owe him another after just returning one.
Most importantly, she was not close to him.
Even now, she still had not figured out what Callum wanted with her.
She was only the eldest daughter of the Newman family in name. Everyone knew she was even worse off than a servant. There was no merit in Callum approaching her.
With his status, he did not need to use her to achieve some kind of goal, right?
“That’s good.”
Callum thought of asking the housekeeper in charge of the flowers and plants in the manor to deliver them to her and charge her only a small amount. However, he felt that she would definitely refuse. Since she wanted to remain the same supplier, he did not push it.
“Mr. Callum, may I ask you a question?”
“Sure.”
“Why do you want to help me?”
Callum smiled. “Have a guess.”
Camryn said honestly, “I can’t.”
“If you can’t guess, then that’s fine. In any case, I won’t harm you.”
Camryn was silent for a moment and said, “But I don’t want to owe you a favor.”
