Jessica took so much effort to snatch Hank away from Liberty and became the missus. She would go on no matter how difficult the road was. Otherwise, she would be seen as a joke by Liberty. Liberty would say that it was karma! “Go to sleep and stop turning and tossing in bed. Lucas isn’t your son. My sister might not even act like you. You’re just his aunt, and yet you’re so frightened that you can’t sleep.” Hank embraced Jessica and yawned. He closed his eyes and said, “I’m so sleepy.” Jessica cursed internally. She was not acting like this because of Lucas. Lucas was a spoiled brat. He ruined a lot of her skincare and makeup, so she hated him very much. She was flustered to see Lucas being carried away, but she was not worried at all. In fact, she was quite pleased. Serenity and her sister were just kind-hearted and generous to be willing to send people to save Lucas. Jessica thought that she would not save Lucas if it were her. It would be best if he was abducted. Che
Grandma May only muttered for a while. She did not continue the topic. “Babe, ask Mrs. Lane to drive the car you gave me during Valentine’s. It’s too inconvenient to go out without a car,” Serenity suggested. “Okay.” Zachary agreed with a smile. He finally gave his wife a Valentine’s gift. Grandma May said to Serenity, “Seren, this is how it should be. Your man earns money for you to spend, so spend as much as you want. The more you spend, the happier he’ll be, and the more motivated he’ll be to earn more money. If you don’t spend enough, the money he earns is just a string of numbers to him. He doesn’t feel anything and won’t feel accomplished by looking at them.” Serenity said with a smile, “Nana, I’m not short of money to spend.” Zachary often transferred money into the card for her daily spending. She had almost finished her savings, but she could not finish spending the money from Zachary no matter what. Besides, she was not a reckless spender. Everything she w
“Honey, you must think of a way to save Carrie. She has never been treated roughly before.” Mrs. Newman was worried about her younger daughter. She had not even been that worried about her son, who was still in high school. However, her son went to a boarding school and was in his senior year. He could only return home once a month, so she only had to transfer money to her son’s card. Her son was much more mature than her daughter, but she did not like that he was protective of his elder sister, Camryn. Whenever Mrs. Newman’s son was at home, she had to be gentler toward Camryn to prevent her son from quarreling with her. “Carrie is just in detention for fifteen days. She’ll be out when the days are up. We should be worried about Mrs. York suing her.”Mr. Newman sighed. “We have to apologize to them.”He was also anxious that his cherished daughter had caused trouble. However, unlike his wife who simply thought of getting their daughter out, he thought further ahead. “It’s
Camryn faced the car and tried to see who parked the car. Unfortunately, it was still dark in front of her, with only a glimmer of light. That faint light was not enough for her to see things clearly. The light felt so close yet so far. “Do you still walk to the store every day?”A raspy voice could be heard. Camryn recognized it. It was Callum’s voice. Callum was tricked into sending Camryn back to her store once by his sister-in-law. When she thanked him and asked for his name, he did not hide his identity like his brother and told her that he was the young master of Yorks. “Mr. York.”After finding out it was Callum, Camryn showed her signature smile. “Does the Newman family not have a driver?”“The Newman family does. I don’t.”Callum pressed his lips together. The wife candidate his nana chose for him was a blind and pitiful girl. She lost her dad and was not loved by her mother. “Get on. I’ll give you a ride to the store.”Camryn did not move. She asked Callum
Callum turned to glance at her and said, “You’re blind. You can’t wave the bus down even if it passes by.”Camryn replied, “The security guards at the main entrance are very helpful. They would wave down the bus for me every day and watch me get on.”Callum did not say a word. They did not know each other well, after all. Callum initially did not intend to make a move so fast. After being tricked by his sister-in-law, he started pursuing Camryn passively so that his brother and sister-in-law would not watch him make a fool of himself. His nana only gave him the basic information. He knew nothing else. Without understanding and familiarity, there was nothing much to talk about. One of them drove attentively, while the other paid attention to the music playing in the car along the way. The car stopped when they arrived at Spring Blossoms. Callum turned toward Camryn and said, “Ms. Newman, we’ve arrived at your flower shop.”She replied okay and unfastened the seatbelt. N
“You don’t seem like a blind person when you do all these things, Ms. Newman.”Camryn placed the stick back in its original position. She said indifferently, “I’ve gotten used to it. I’ve been running this flower shop for years and doing the same daily routine. I can do it by instinct since I’m used to it.”After opening the door, Camryn put down her cane and started moving potted plants that were taking up space outside skillfully. “What flowers do you want to buy today, Mr. York?” Camryn asked Callum as she moved the flowers. “You can take your time and look around.”After watching her move several flowerpots, Callum finally decided not to be a spectator and went forward to help her. He moved all the potted plants that needed to be placed at the flower shop’s entrance.The name of each flower was on every flowerpot. However, the names were not written on paper but on wood. Each flower’s name was carved on a wooden sign, which enabled Camryn to identify the flower her customers
Carrie could not stand her brother treating Camryn well. She asked Mrs. Newman to send him to a boarding school since he started first grade to reduce the time he stayed at home. Even so, he still treated Camryn better. Camryn’s brother, who was younger than her by nine years, had always felt guilty. He blamed himself for not being able to get their parents to send her to the hospital when she was sick while he was in school. It had caused her to lose her sight. In that family, Camryn had only felt the warmth of family from her brother. Callum listened to her saying the most heartbreaking words with a calm tone. He strangely felt sorry for her. It could be due to him knowing she was the wife his nana had chosen for him from the start.Callum was treating Camryn as his woman. “Happiness will come after hard times,” Callum said with a deep, gentle voice. Camryn smiled at him. “You don’t have to feel sorry for me, Mr. York. They don’t treat me well, but they’ve raised me un
Callum and Camryn had not even started dating. Well, he had started, but she did not know about it. It was understandable that she refused to give him roses. “The flowers are pretty. Thank you for the bouquet, Ms. Newman.”Callum accepted the flowers and admired them. After thanking Camryn, he said to her while holding the bouquet, “I’ll head to work now, Ms. Newman.”Callum walked out of the store and went to his car. He opened the passenger’s seat door and placed the bouquet on the seat. He turned to glance at Camryn before getting in the car and driving away.Camryn listened to the sounds at the entrance. She let out a breath of relief when she heard the sound of a car engine starting. She felt like Mr. York was targeting her. Not targeting, to be exact, but he seemed interested in her. Maybe he had never seen a blind person. Camryn never thought Callum would fall for her. She was blind, after all. Callum brought the bouquet Camryn gave him to York Corporation. After gett
