“Seren, I feel that you’re now publicly displaying your affection with Zack.”
“I don’t have to publicly display our affection. You and Mr. Bucham are lovey–dovey. Jas, you’ll be staying at the store today, won’t you?”
“Mhm.”
Jasmine then asked, “Do you have anything to take care of? You can carry on with your work. I can watch over the store.”
“I’ll head to Spring Blossoms and rush back before half past eleven”
“Go ahead. Look around and see if you can buy two houseplants that are pleasing to the eye to be put in our store.”
Serena instinctively said, “The plants in our store are growing well. You don’t need to buy any more houseplants.”
“Buy some succulent plants.”
“Okay, I’ll help you buy some.”
Serena took her car key and walked out of the bookstore. She said to Harry, who was strolling around. outside, “I’m heading to Spring Blossoms. You don’t have to come along.”
“Alright, Missus.”
Harry knew that his colleague would be protecting Serena in secret.
Even if he did not follow Serena, her safety would be assured.
What was more, Serena was nimble.
Currently, no one had the audacity to harm Serena. Harming Serena would mean turning against many wealthy families.
Serena went to Spring Blossoms but did not see Camryn there.
“Haven’t your boss returned?” Serena asked a shop assistant who was pruning a rose.
“Ms. Camryn came back to stock products. After that, she received a call from a regular customer who wanted a bouquet of flowers, so she personally sent the bouquet over.”
“When will she be back?”
“I’m not sure. Mrs. York, why don’t you go home first? Once Ms. Camryn is back, I’ll get her to call you.”
Serena said, “Camryn usually doesn’t call me back after she returns. Her phone has always been turned off recently.”
The shop assistant responded, “Mrs. York, please leave your contact details. Once Ms. Camryn is back, I’ll call you. Ms. Camryn has changed her phone number, so she might not remember your number.”
“Camryn has changed her number, huh?”
Deep down, Serena was moaning. No wonder Callum said Camryn was always unreachable. The outcome was still the same after Serena tried to call Camryn twice.
It turned out that Camryn had changed her number.
In fact, Camryn was trying to escape from Callum. She did not want to be involved with him.
Callum’s journey to winning back his wife’s heart was going to be a long one.
“Yes. Ms. Camryn has recently changed her number.”
Serena uttered an “oh” as she gave some thought before leaving her contact details with the shop assistant. She then left Spring Blossoms.
Serena called Callum. When Callum picked up the call, she said, “Callum, Camryn has changed her number. I went to her flower shop twice this morning but didn’t see her. Have you seen her?”
Callum answered, “I’m waiting for her at Beans and Cream to send me flowers.”
He had no idea what Camryn’s new number was as the shop assistant refused to tell him. He had no choice but to recall the number for Spring Blossoms. Then, he got the store manager of Beans and Cream to phone Spring Blossoms to have Camryn send the flowers over.
He would only be able to see her by doing so..
“Is Camryn going there alone?”
“Another worker is sending her over by an electric scooter. Thank you, Serena.”
Although Serena had not been able to see Camryn and speak up for Callum in front of her, she had visited Spring Blossoms twice in the morning. This touched Callum and made him feel that Serena was concerned about his matter.
“Don’t mention it. We’re family. When you see her, don’t frighten her again.”
“Serena, I deeply regretted it. I won’t repeat that mistake anymore.”
He kissed Camryn without having captured her heart. That offended and frightened her.
Callum kept blaming himself for not being able to hold back his urge.
Serena became at ease. She ended the call and drove directly to the bookstore.
Meanwhile, Grandma May visited the Marshalls with River. After delivering them an invitation card, she visited the Stones since both their houses were not far away from each other.
When Grandma May visited the Stones, Remy was at the Stones‘ place since he was their new neighbor. It seemed that he was planning to sponge food off them.
Upon hearing that Grandma May and River were here, Mr. and Mrs. Stone came out to welcome them. personally.
“Why didn’t you inform me before coming? Let me pick you up.” After Grandma May got out of the car. Mrs. Stone went forward to hold her. With a smile, she complained that Grandma May did not let her know about her visit beforehand.
Grandma May grinned and replied, “I got River to send me here, and it was convenient. I didn’t need to trouble you
“What trouble? Being able to pick you up is our honor. This must be your seventh grandson. He’s really good–looking. Old Mrs. York, you’re blessed. Look at your grandsons. All of them are good–looking and capable. This is admirable.”
Mrs. Stone had two sons and one daughter. Only her eldest son was responsible and outstanding, so he took over Stone Group.
Her second son had no interest in doing business. As for her daughter, she had been pampered since she was young and only started a business recently.
Mrs. Stone really admired Grandma May for her grandsons.
Besides Mrs. Stone, other old ladles admired Grandma May greatly too.
“They’re just good–looking but not as brilliant as Clive. Clive alone is better than all my grandsons.”
Mrs. Stone laughed before she responded, “Don’t always compliment Clive that way. If he hears it, he’ll be complacent.”
“I’m just telling the truth. Clive and Zack are the most promising young talents in Wiltspoon. Everyone praises them.”
“Grandma May,” Elisa greeted her smilingly.
Remy, who came out with Elisa, greeted Grandma May politely as well.
The moment Grandma May caught sight of Remy, she said with a grin, “Remy, you’re here too.”
Remy replied gently, “I came over to see the renovation progress of my house. I knew Mrs. Stone and Elisa were at home, so I came to drink some coffee.”
Grandma May laughed like a fox. “You’ll be neighbors in the future. You should get along with each other more often. They say a near friend is better than a far–dwelling kinsman. It’s important that neighbors get along well.”
“You’re right. This is what I thought. Whenever I come over to see the renovation progress of my house, I’ll pay Mrs. Stone a visit.”
As Mrs. Stone listened to the conversation between Grandma May and Remy, she was secretly moaning that Remy was trying to approach her darling daughter on the pretext of wanting to develop strong neighbor relationships.
Then, he planned to capture her daughter’s heart little by little.
