“You! Certainly.” “Doesn’t that make me the matchmaker?” Josh thought about it and answered, “Yes.” “I’m giving you my bank details so you can send me a little token of appreciation for pairing you two together. Come on, I’m not going to give you money as a wedding gift, I have better things in mind than something as impersonal as that. However, I will admit that I am a shallow man and would like some money as a way of thank-you for my role as a matchmaker..” Josh was struck speechless. Serenity had transformed Zachary into a man who kept checks and balances even when it came to his interpersonal relationships. This banquet continued well into midnight. In the past, Zachary would only show up for ten to fifteen minutes at most, just as a formality. After that, he would immediately excuse himself. Tonight was an exception. He waited until the banquet was over before leaving with his beloved wife. His actions were a testament to the love and affection he had for his

With an air of nonchalance as if the matter did not concern him at all, Jim remarked, “It’ll be fine. The missus can always keep Mr. Zachary in check no matter what. No matter how he tries to lash out, he inevitably loses to the missus once she tries to reason with him. It’s the same thing every time.” Sam shot a look at him. Jim grinned pompously. “It’s true, you know it is! Sam, don’t worry about it, as long as the missus is here, she’ll keep everything in control no matter what happens. We don’t need to do anything even if Mr. Zachary gets upset. Just wait for the missus to step in and handle the situation.” They knew that no matter how upset Mr. Zachary got, he would never try to hurt the missus. “Sam, it’s getting late, why don’t you get some rest? I need to get some shuteye too,” Jim said with an exaggerated yawn before excusing himself and walking away. Sam was replaying what Jim had told him in his mind. Soon, he concluded that this was why the brat had always ma

He took a brutal beatdown from Camryn and ended up having to scramble out of the car to get away from her. Camryn quickly hobbled out of the car as well. It would be entirely unreasonable for her to continue attacking the man since she could not see. After she got out of the car, she took off the other shoe and immediately ran off. She had no idea where she was supposed to run toward at all. She had only managed several steps before she was apprehended by the man who reeked of cigarettes. He jerked her backward forcefully and slammed her into the car. Before she could regain her balance, the man pinned her against the car. She began swinging at the man haphazardly with her high heels to no avail since it was quickly snatched out of her hands. Left without a weapon, she resorted to jabbing her knee upward as hard as she could. “Ugh!” The man let out a muffled grunt. Suddenly, Camryn felt his weight lifted off her body. She must have kneed the man right in the

Camryn stopped resisting at last. She was hesitant in touching Callum and could not find a comfortable place to rest her hand. Callum pressed forward with Camryn in his arms and remarked candidly, “You look so tiny so I thought it’d be pretty easy to carry you, but you sure are heavier than you look. If you had run off farther than you had, I’ll be looking at a gruesome workout having to carry you back to the car.” Camryn was slightly offended, “I never asked you to carry me…” She had mentioned that she could walk by herself. It was Callum who insisted on carrying her because he decided that she was going to be too slow without her shoes. “Do you want me to put you down so you can walk?” “Sure.” She preferred being led by the hand rather than being carried. With that, he put her down gently on the ground. He was being honest when he said that Camryn was too heavy for him. He could only carry her for several more minutes at most. It was not surprising consi

Mr. Newman spoke in a concerned tone. When he noticed the state Camryn was in and how she had lost her shoes, he turned to his wife and asked nicely, “Honey, could you take Camryn into the house?” Then, he turned to Callum and made an inviting gesture, “Mr. York, please, come inside.” Callum was planning to leave right after dropping Camryn off, but he promptly changed his mind. He decided to have a quick chat with Mr. Newman as a show of respect. Several minutes later after Callum relayed what happened, Mr. Newman erupted with rage and cursed out loud, “Damned fool! All I did was give him a strong talking-to. I cannot believe he would turn around and do something like this and try to hurt my niece!” He thanked Callum profusely, “Mr. York, you have my most sincere gratitude. If it weren’t for you showing up at the right time, who knows what that nasty excuse of a bodyguard would have done to Camryn?“ The poor bodyguard took the fall. Meanwhile, Mrs. Newman emerged fro
