Married at First Sight Novel Chapter – 1461 – 1462 – 1463 – 1464 – 1465 – 1466 – 1467 – 1468 – 1469 – 1470
Married At First Sight Chapter 1461
Chapter 1461
Now, 99% of the unmentionable forces of Camryn’s mom had been cut off. The remaining small fries could not escape in time and get anywhere.
This outcome was due to Camryn’s acquaintance with Serenity and the Yorks.
Camryn’s plan did not include Callum. His appearance caught her off guard.
She did not want to become a burden to him, so before she fell deeper, she wanted to cut off his thoughts first and return some peacefulness to each other.
Callum was the second son of the Yorks. He should find a more excellent and healthy lady as a wife.
He should not be matched with a blind person like Camryn.
Dalton observed Camryn for a moment and asked gently, “Camryn, is something on your mind?”
“No.”
Camryn denied it right away.
Dalton smiled and said, “We’ve known each other for over a decade, and you saved my life, so no one knows you better than I do. Tell me if you have something on your mind. You said we’re like siblings.
“As long as you tell me, I’ll help you if I can, and I’ll find ways to help you if I can’t.”
Camryn still denied it after a moment of silence. “It’s nothing. I just feel that I owe Serenity a great favor. The outcome this time was only possible because we borrowed their power.”
“It’s not like we borrowed their power. Mr. and Mrs. Newman simply did something that caused widespread indignation and discontent, so God arranged for people who are much more powerful than us to punish them. Camryn, are you unhappy because you’re not satisfied with the outcome?
“You don’t need to feel burdened. You and Mrs. York are acquainted, after all. That was purely accidental, and she’s kind and likes to stand up to injustice. We didn’t use her, and your acquaintance with her wasn’t planned.”
Camryn could not possibly scheme against Serenity.
Her encounter with Serenity and acquaintance with the Yorks were purely unexpected.
“But if not for me, my mom wouldn’t have hated Serenity, and Liberty wouldn’t have been injured. Luckily, Liberty is fine now. Otherwise, I’d have a guilty conscience forever.”
Camryn blamed herself.
She had no intention of Involving others in this, and yet she dragged many people into it.
“Did they blame you?”
“No.”
Camryn thought the Hunt sisters are extremely nice people.
“Then that’s it. They didn’t blame you, so you shouldn’t blame yourself and stress yourself out.”
Camryn did not say anything.
“I heard that you and Mr. Callum go to places together as a pair. Do you like him?” When Dalton raised the question, he stared at Camryn without blinking, afraid of missing her expression.
“There’s nothing between us. He introduced me to a big order of business, so I invited him to dinner a few times.”
“Last night was Mr. Bucham’s engagement party, and you attended as Mr. Callum’s partner.”
Dalton knew he should not ask too much, but he could not help it.
“Camryn, let me know if you like Mr. Callum. I’ll help you.”
He felt his heart ache a little when he said that.
Even so, he quickly shook off that feeling. He was given life by Camryn, and she had also always treated him as a brother. Moreover, he had a stable relationship with his girlfriend at the moment.
Dalton could only be Camryn’s brother in this life.
He could not have any improper thoughts as that would destroy their friendship and kinship. It would also hurt his girlfriend.
“No, I don’t even know what he looks like. How can I like him?”
Camryn desperately denied it.
Dalton knew she was lying.
He did not force Camryn to admit that she had feelings for the second son of the Yorks. She would not have denied it in a hurry if she had no feelings for Callum at all. Sometimes, the more anxious one was to deny something, the more it showed that one was guilty.
The Yorks were the richest family in Wiltspoon. They were a large and harmonious family, and they had great values. It was said that the males of the Yorks never divorced.
Who would not want their daughters to marry into the Yorks?
Married At First Sight Chapter 1462
Chapter 1462
It was not because the Yorks were glorious and wealthy, but because the men in the family were loving.
Camryn had a bitter life. If she could be a part of the Yorks and had their backing. Dalton could gradually withdraw from Newman Enterprise as his godbrother. He had fought for and defended the business for Camryn for many years. He had to eventually return everything to her.
Even so, he would still worry about her.
He could be more at ease with Callum around.
That was because Callum would not go after the Newmans‘ family fortune.
After all, Camryn was still blind. If the person by her side had other intentions, she would be gravely harmed.
“Mr. Callum and I aren’t suitable and are not a good match. I’m a blind lady who’s not worthy of him. He deserves someone better,” Camryn said softly.
Dalton put down his cup and reached out to poke her forehead. His action was intimate and natural.
“Silly girl, you lost your confidence and are dwelling on an insignificant problem again, huh? You’re great. Apart from your poor vision, how are you inferior to others? You’re the best girl in the world. to me, so be confident, little girl. If you really like Mr. Callum, you should face him bravely.
“The Yorks have good values, and the men in their family are loyal in relationships. As long as they’re married, they’ll spend the rest of their lives with their respective partner. Such men are incredibly rare in this materialistic society. Other people would rack their brains to get married into the Yorks. You shouldn’t waste the ticket given to you.”
“I’m not.”
Camryn still denied her feelings toward Callum.
After she said that, she instinctively turned to look at the flower shop’s entrance.
She heard familiar footsteps.
Callum had arrived when Dalton poked Camryn’s forehead. He saw the scene clearly from his car.
After parking his car, he got out and strode into the shop.
Camryn and Dalton stopped chatting and looked at him.
She could not see Callum’s expression, but he could hers.
Callum’s handsome face turned dark. The way he looked at Dalton was as though he wanted to kill him.
It was a typical sign of jealousy.
“Mr. Callum.”
Camryn heard Callum’s footsteps and got a whiff of the familiar scent on him when he got closer. She greeted him calmly.
Only then did Dalton realize that the man who entered was the second son of the Yorks and the subject of his conversation with Camryn earlier.
Dalton sized up Callum.
As expected of a grandson raised by Old Mrs. York–Callum was handsome, upright, and domineering.
Callum also sized up Dalton, a stranger.
‘What’s his relationship with Camryn?
‘Is he her boyfriend?
‘Impossible!
‘Nana wouldn’t have arranged for me to meet someone attached.‘
“Camryn, you have a guest. I’ll be leaving first.”
Dalton deliberately did not introduce himself, nor did he greet Callum. He got up and took his leave from Camryn and left on his own.
Camryn also got up as she wanted to send Dalton off. She went around the cashier counter but was blocked by a tall human wall.
She looked up.
“What are you doing, Mr. Callum?”
Her voice was indifferent and cold.
This displeased Callum.
He looked coldly at her and questioned, “Who is he? What’s the relationship between you? You avoid me but act intimately and flirt with a man. Camryn, what do you take me for?”
Married At First Sight Chapter 1463
Chapter 1463
Camryn responded calmly, “Mr. Callum, what’s the relationship between us then? Who I hang out. with and who I get close to is my freedom. You helped me a lot, Mr. Callum, but you have no right. to control my social relations, do you?
“I take you for a valued guest, Mr. Callum.”
“A valued guest? Just a guest?”
Callum reached out and grabbed her shoulders. “Camryn, do you dare say that you’re not avoiding me? I told you the truth and that I treat you as my fiancée. You avoided me after that and stopped answering my calls.
“Now, you’re even flirting with another man. Is that on purpose?”
Camryn was still very calm. She moved Callum’s hands away and retreated to the counter. She felt safer if there was a table between them.
She might look calm, but in fact, she was a bit panicky at the moment.
Camryn did not know why she was panicking.
She just felt that she had done something wrong to Callum.
However, they were not a couple, so it was not as if she betrayed him.
She could feel Callum’s anger.
“Mr. Callum, as I said, who I hang out with and who I get close to is my freedom. Yes, you did tell me that your grandmother chose me as your wife candidate. I’m flattered that Old Mrs. York chose me.
“As for you treating me as your fiancée, that’s your business and doesn’t represent my thoughts. I consider you a normal friend at most, Mr. Callum. I’m also very grateful that you helped me, but I’ve repaid your kindness by treating you to a few meals.
“Also, I wasn’t avoiding you; I only changed my phone and my number. If I were, I wouldn’t be here and would’ve closed the shop and left long ago.”
Callum stared at her.
Since Camryn could not see, it was useless for him to glare at her. It did not affect her, and she did not even know he was staring at her.
Callum added, “You accompanied me to the party last night.”
“Didn’t you force me to go, Mr. Callum? You even brought up your sister–in–law, I went to show her and Jasmine respect, not to accompany you on purpose.
Callum’s face darkened.
Camryn was determined to make things clear between them and did not want to cross paths with him anymore.
“Who was that man Just now?” Callum asked.
He could accept that Camryn was avoiding him and wanted to draw a clear line with him. After all, it was one–sided for him to treat her as a wife. She did not know at all.
When he suddenly told her the truth, it was normal for her to avoid him.
That said, Callum was jealous to see her being so close to another man.
He had considered her his wife, and his wife could not be so close to men other than her relatives.
“You don’t know him anyway.”
“Camryn!”
“Mr. Callum, you don’t need to shout. That’s my personal matter, so I don’t think I need to tell you.”
Callum’s face darkened again. He stared at her for some time before he gritted his teeth and asked, “Camryn, do you really think there’s nothing between us?”
He propped both hands on the cashier counter and leaned over to move his handsome face closer to hers.
They were so close that she could feel his warm breath on her face when he spoke.
Camryn trembled but quickly straightened her back again and answered calmly, “Mr. Callum, we’re considered friends–normal friends.”
Callum ground his teeth and stared deadly at Camryn again. When he saw her eyes, he remembered that she could not see him clearly at the moment as she was blind. It would be a
waste of effort for him to glare at her.
All of a sudden, Callum grabbed her shoulders again with both hands and pulled her toward him.
Camryn hit the counter as a result. Before she could even react, he kissed her lips.
She was speechless.
Camryn only felt her mind go blank.
She did not expect Callum to kiss her!
Soon enough, Camryn reacted and immediately pushed Callum away. Despite that, he held her head in place instead of grabbing her shoulders so that she could not get rid of him.
Callum was furious.
He could not act like a gentleman anymore.
Every time he was with Camryn and saw her red lips, he wanted to taste them to see if they were soft and sweet as he had imagined.
He tasted them at this moment.
Callum initially wanted to kiss Camryn as a punishment. After their lips met, he instinctively wanted more.
The more she struggled, the harder he kissed.
Married At First Sight Chapter 1464
Chapter 1464
It was not until Camryn bit Callum so hard that he bled and let go of her.
Next, Callum’s face was hot and painful.
Camryn slapped him fiercely, right on his face.
She slapped him by intuition.
After serving him the slap, Camryn fumbled for things on the table. No matter what they were, she grabbed them and smashed them at him.
Callum let her smash things at him. It did not hurt anyway.
When Camryn took her white cane and hit him recklessly, he quickly stepped back to dodge it.
“Camryn…”
“Get out!”
Now, it was Camryn’s turn to be furious.
She was so angry that her face was red, and there were also tears in her eyes.
Camryn thought Callum was a decent man who would not bully her.
Who knew…
Callum forcefully kissed her!
He took advantage of her because she could not see.
Camryn was infuriated!
“Camryn, I…”
Callum knew he had made an impulsive mistake.
He wanted to explain but had no way to do so because he had offended her.
“Get out! Callum York, get out!”
When Camryn heard him speak and confirmed where he was, she threw her cane over.
Nonetheless, Callum was agile and caught the carje she hurled at him.
“Okay, okay. I’ll go out. Stop throwing things and don’t hurt yourself. I’ll leave–I’ll leave right away.”
Seeing that Camryn was so mad that she was about to go crazy, Callum hurriedly took the cane and left.
Camryn could tell from his footsteps that he was walking out. She only sat after she heard him driving away.
Afterward, she raised her hand and rubbed her lips hard.
“B*stard!” she cursed.
She then rubbed her eyes to wipe away her tears.
‘No crying!‘
Camryn had also bitten Callum hard, so his lip was bleeding.
She had taken her revenge.
Camryn promised herself to ignore Callum from now on.
It was his business to have treated her as his wife; she had never treated him as her husband.
Who was he to question her?
Who was he to treat her like that?
Did he think that she would be his just because he kissed her?
Camryn took it as a bite from a dog.
Callum wanted to drive back to the office. However, he remembered that Josh was on leave, his brother knew nothing, and nobody at the company could give him any tip. In the end, Callum went to Wiltspoon School to find his sister–in–law.
Serenity was a woman and was good friends with Camryn.
Callum made a mistake, got into trouble, and angered Camryn. His sister–in–law would be the most suitable person to talk to at this time.
His lip cracked and bled because Camryn bit him hard. It was no longer bleeding, but it felt as if it was swollen.
On top of that, Camryn slapped him hard in the face.
With that, Callum showed up at Serenity’s bookstore with one side of his face red and swollen.
Married At First Sight Chapter 1465
Chapter 1465
Serenity was looking after the bookstore by herself. She looked up when she heard footsteps and was surprised to see Callum.
While getting up and walking out from behind the cashier’s desk, she asked, “Callum, what happened to you? Your lip and face are swollen. Did you fight with someone? Who did you fight with? Did you lose? If you can’t win the fight, you should’ve asked me to help you.”
Callum flushed when Serenity threw a bunch of questions at him.
Did he need his sister–in–law to help him win a fight?
He was much more skilled than she was.
“Serenity, you must help me this time.”
“Of course. How dare someone beat my brother–in–law like that? Even if your brother can take it, I can’t. Tell me who beat you up like this. I’ll go and give it to them.”
Serenity said while dragging a stool over and pushing it behind Callum. “Sit and tell me slowly. Do you want some water?
“I haven’t fought with anyone for a long time. I was just thinking about exercising my muscles.”
Serenity went to pour some water for Callum.
When Callum saw his sister–in–law’s figure and heard her words of concern, he felt that she was very excited.
“Serenity, I didn’t fight with anyone,” Callum explained.
If he lost a fight, he would need to ask his brothers for help. Although his sister–in–law knew some moves, they were fancy but useless against men.
Serenity returned to Callum with a cup of warm water. She handed the cup of water to him and pulled a stool over to sit in front of him. Afterward, she looked at him with her beautiful eyes and asked with concern, “Then tell me what happened.
“Don’t worry, I’ll help you if I can. Not only this time, you can always come to me if you’re bullied in the future and need someone to help you out. Your brother has my back, so don’t be afraid.”
Serenity acted like an elder sister–in–law.
She looked like she was ready to seek justice for her brother–in–law whenever he was bullied.
Rowan was the smartest. He clung to her the first time he met her.
He had always thought that Zachary was obedient to Serenity, so he quickly clung to her. As long as he was bullied, he would complain to her.
Callum’s face seemed to have become even redder.
Faced with his sister–in–law’s concerned yet gossipy look, he did not know if he made the right choice by coming to her.
That said, when Callum recalled Camryn’s reaction and thought about the relationship between Serenity and Camryn, he felt that he made the right choice.
Callum decided to let Serenity learn about the gossip. Even if he did not tell her, his brother would tell her when he found out.
After downing half a cup of warm water, he seemed to have mustered his courage. He said honestly, “Serenity, I made a mistake–a huge mistake, and I don’t know what to do. You have to help me. I think only you can help me with this.”
“You made a mistake? A huge one?”
Serenity was no longer gossipy and became worried instead. She asked carefully, “You didn’t kill someone or set a fire or rob someone, right?”
“How could I? The Yorks only do honest business. We would never do things like that.”
“What mistake did you make then? Did you sign the wrong contract and cost the company hundreds of millions of dollars?”
Callum shook his head.
“Tell me what it is then. I’ll wait for you to tell me before I say anything. The more I guess, the more afraid I am. Callum, I must tell you beforehand that I won’t help you if you have to go to jail. for your mistake.”
One must have principles when helping someone else and could not help with everything.
Callum was speechless.
“Serenity, I just kissed Camryn. Do I need to go to jail for that?”
Serenity asked, “Y–you… kissed Camryn?”
She was wondering how far Callum and Camryn had gone in their relationship. It turned out that they had kissed. Serenity was impressed by how fast they were progressing.
Back then, Serenity and Zachary had gotten their marriage license first to become legally married. They only became intimate after a long time.
Married At First Sight Chapter 1466
Chapter 1466
The time Callum and Camryn spent together was not long, so Serenity felt that her brother–in–law was rather quick to have developed their relationship thus far. At least, he knew about relationships better than Zachary.
“Your face is swollen, and your lip also looks swollen as if you got injured. Did you kiss Camryn without her consent? She slapped you, didn’t she?”
Serenity’s eyes flashed with interest.
She was not stupid. She had experienced it before.
Her guess was right on the money once she saw Callum’s appearance–Callum forcefully kissed Camryn.
His handsome face fell and reddened, but he said nothing.
It was an admission by silence.
Serenity stood up and walked away.
“Serenity, Serenity, you said that you’d help me.”
Callum said nervously, thinking that Serenity did not want to help him.
Serenity said without looking back, “I’m going to get a glass of water. You scared the hell out of me.”
Callum was speechless.
After pouring herself a cup of warm water, she came over while drinking it and sat across Callum again. Then, she looked at him.
The Yorks were a good family. Everyone was educated and cultured.
That was Serenity’s evaluation of her in–laws.
Callum was different from Zachary, who was cold and arrogant. Although he was not exactly warm, he was much gentler than Zachary.
She did not expect him to force himself on others.
“Serenity…”
“Callum, you really didn’t strike me as a pervert.”
Callum’s ears flushed red.
“I–I was impulsive. I got angry. Camryn refused to answer my calls and see me, but I saw her very close to another man. I saw that man poking her forehead.”
Callum knew he was at fault for being indecent toward Camryn. He really just acted on impulse.
He was jealous.
He was jealous of that stranger.
The man was not as handsome as he was, but his mien was not inferior to Callum’s. He must have been a man with a successful career.
“After all you did, I’d be surprised if Camryn answered your calls. Was she very intimate with other men? She doesn’t have a boyfriend, right? How could she be that intimate with a man? Who was the man you saw? Do you know him? Could he be a relative of hers?”
Callum was stunned.
Could that man be Camryn’s relative?
“I asked Camryn, but she refused to tell me. She even said that it was none of my business who that man was and how he was related to her. She said that we’re just friends, so I have no right to question her about who she’s close to.”
Callum added very softly, “I just did something impulsive because I got angry.”
After all, forcing himself on someone was not something to be proud of. He could not announce it to the whole world.
“Is she ignoring your calls and chasing you away because you forced yourself on her?” Serenity asked.
Callum shook his head. “I told her the truth yesterday. I told her I approached her because she’s the wife Nana had chosen for me. That’s why I treat her as my wife and help her unconditionally.” Serenity was speechless.
Married At First Sight Chapter 1467
Chapter 1467
Callum looked at his sister–in-law’s speechless face and asked carefully, “Should I not have told her the truth? Should I have kept lying to her? Maybe I shouldn’t have let her know that Nana chose her to be my wife.”
Before Serenity could respond, he continued, “I just didn’t want to be like Zachary. I was afraid she’d be angrier if I kept the truth from her for a long time till she finally finds out about it, so I was honest with her. I didn’t want to lie to her.”
After what happened to Zachary, Callum tried his best not to deceive Camryn.
Was telling the truth also the wrong move?
Serenity paused before sharing her thoughts, “No, but the way you phrased it will make Camryn think that you’re not sincere. You’re just finishing the task assigned by Nana. Put yourself in her shoes. Would you be happy if you were her?
“In addition to her sensing that you’re regarding her as a task, and that you don’t really like her, she’ll feel that she’s not worthy of you. It’s true that she’s the eldest daughter of the Newman family, but her status is non–existent in her family. The other noble ladies who try to matchmake their sons automatically exclude her from the list of candidates.
“Camryn can’t see, so she feels inferior to others. You two haven’t known each other enough, and she can’t see you either. Even if she has a good impression of you, there’s a threshold to it. It’s normal for her to avoid you after you tell her the truth.”
Callum said bitterly, “But it’s the truth. I had no choice but to approach her because that was the task Nana gave me. Nana has her reasons for choosing Camryn. I haven’t figured out those reasons yet, but I did it because I felt that there was no way out of this anyway.
“I don’t have a woman I like, so I’ll just marry whoever Nana tells me to marry.”
Serenity glared at him. “You took advantage of her despite having that mindset?”
“She said we have nothing to do with each other, so I proved to her that we do have something to do with each other.”
Callum’s conviction became increasingly outlandish under his sister–in–law’s glare.
“You like Camryn. You acted like that because you got jealous. Callum, you first need to figure out why you did what you did. Look into your heart and figure out if you have feelings for Camryn.
“Don’t treat her as your task. You have to treat her as your lifelong companion. You need to be sincere. Camryn already feels unworthy of you because she can’t see, but you’re still treating her as a task. It’s no wonder she ran away.”
Calium fell silent.
“Your attitude was wrong from the very beginning. Go and apologize to Camryn now. From today onward, you have to be sincere and genuine in everything you do for her. Do you think that if you don’t put in your feelings and sincerity, she’ll have to marry you regardless just because she’s the wife Nana picked for you? You’re not universally liked.”
Callum paused and then uttered, “She doesn’t want to see me. She told me to leave.
“Serenity, help put in a good word for me, please? I still don’t know if I love her since I’ve never experienced love before, but yeah, I like her more each day. I promise that in the future, I won’t treat her like I did today. I’ll get her consent first.”
“You made the mistake, so you must deal with it yourself. I can’t help you with this.”
Serenity refused immediately.
Callum said, “Serenity, you said that you’d help me as long as it was something you could do. Just help put in a word for me. It’s just paying lip service. Are you unwilling to do that much?”
“If you lost a brawl with someone, I’d be more than happy to round up some guys and help you fight, but I won’t help you in this situation. Go to Camryn yourself to make amends and apologize. Show her your sincerity.
“Callum, whether it’s a man pursuing a woman or a woman pursuing a man, I think it’s all down to sincerity.”
Callum fell silent again.
His sister–in–law’s words were similar to Zachary’s.
Zachary also said it was all about sincerity.
After a long time, he asked, “What if she doesn’t want to see me?”
“Will you not see her if she doesn’t want to see you?”
“Of course not. I still have to marry her. How can I not go to see her?
Married At First Sight Chapter 1468
Chapter 1468
Serenity said, “Exactly. Bring out your shamelessness and go to Spring Blossoms now to apologize properly. Don’t say stuff like you’re only pursuing Camryn because she’s the wife that Nana chose for you. Just pursue her and let her feel your true feelings for her.
“She was willing to accompany you to Jasmine’s engagement party, which means she has feelings for you. As long as she feels that you’re treating her sincerely instead of just a task to be completed, she’ll be able to accept you openly.”
Callum thought about it and nodded. “I understand what you mean.”
“Camryn can’t see, so she’s very sensitive. You have to be careful and considerate. Don’t be disdainful of her.”
“I don’t disdain her. I never have.”
Serenity hummed.
Callum did not disdain Camryn for being blind. He just adopted the wrong mindset because he was obeying his nana’s arrangement.
“I’ll go to Camryn now to apologize. If she doesn’t want to see me, I’ll loiter in her store until she forgives me.”
Callum got up to leave.
Serenity asked, “Do you want some ice for your face?”
Callum touched his swollen face and said, “Forget it, I don’t know how long it’ll take for the swelling to go down. I’ll just go like this. Camryn can’t see my face anyway, so she won’t feel sorry for me.”
He put down the glass of water. “Thanks, Serenity. I’ll go to Spring Blossoms now. Can you help me apply for leave from Zachary? I’m afraid he’ll scold me if I ask for leave by myself.”
Serenity was willing to help him with that.
When Zachary and she were developing their relationship, Zachary often pushed his work to Callum and Josh.
It was time for Zachary to repay his debt.
“Be more respectful to women in the future!” Serenity added.
Callum nodded quickly.
He made a mistake once. He would not make the same mistake twice.
“I’ll be going now.”
“Go. School’s almost out, so I’ll be busy soon.”
Serenity shooed Callurn out of the store.
Soon, he drove away in his car.
Serenity called Zachary and smiled when he answered the phone. “Babe, I want to apply for leave on someone’s behalf.”
“Did Callum go to you?”
Zachary guessed correctly at once.
“Yeah, he came to me for help. He made a blunder and asked me to help him, but I can’t and don’t want to help him. He should solve it by himself. However, he asked me to ask for leave from you, which is something that I can do.
“Arrange for someone else to handle Cailum’s work for now, babe. He wouldn’t be in the mood to go to work for the time being.”
Zachary muttered something under his breath that Serenity could not catch. She asked, “What are you mumbling about?”
“Nothing. I can give him a day or two off, but he can’t not return to the office every day.”
Serenity figured that Callum should be able to get Camryn’s forgiveness in a day’s time, so she hummed and said, “Okay, I’ll tell Callum that you give him two days off.”
Married At First Sight Chapter 1469
Chapter 1469
Zachary hummed and said, “Don’t order takeout for lunch. I’ll send food over to your side. Let’s eat together.”
Serenity was alone in the store, and Zachary could not bear to let his beloved wife eat takeout. He had already ordered food from Wiltspoon Hotel and a bodyguard picked it up. Then, he would bring the food over during lunch break so the couple could have lunch in the bookstore together.
“Okay, I won’t order takeout. You get back to work. School is almost out, so I’ll be busy too.”
Serenity hung up the phone after speaking.
On the other side, Zachary looked at his phone and complained, “She didn’t even give me the chance to say bye.”
Serenity began to work while Zachary finished his work and left the office.
The bodyguard just came back from getting the insulated lunch boxes from the hotel. He rushed out to receive Zachary when he saw the latter come downstairs.
A few minutes later, Zachary’s car drove out of York Corporation.
He left ten minutes before lunch break, so there was no traffic on the road yet. He arrived at the bookstore soon after.
There were still students buying stuff in Serenity’s bookstore. Some students saw Serenity alone and asked, “Serenity, I haven’t seen Jasmine for a few days. Where is she?”
The only young bookstore owners in the vicinity were Serenity and Jasmine, so most of the students addressed them affectionately. Serenity and Jasmine were pretty and treated the students well, so the students liked to visit their bookstore when school was out.
“Jasmine has an important event today and isn’t free, so I’ll be the one looking after the store for the next two to three months. Why? Do you miss Jasmine?”
Serenity rang them up while joking with the students. After she calculated the total, she gave them a discount.
“Two to three months is a long time. Doesn’t that mean we’ll have to wait until next semester to see Jasmine? Of course we miss her. We missed you too when the store was closed these few days. Serenity, we miss you so much. You have to give us a bargain.”
Serenity laughed. “I thought you guys really missed me, but you were just trying to get a discount. Don’t worry, I won’t overcharge you. There are so many stores here, so you can compare the prices. I’ll never rip you off.”
It was April now. Josh took two months off after Jasmine and he got married, and by the time Jasmine came back, it would be almost summer vacation.
Zachary walked in with the insulated lunch boxes.
Although the students were aware that this man, who was so serious he was even scarier than the dean, was Serenity’s husband, they still feared him when they saw him. They were too scared to
joke with Serenity again.
After Serenity helped to bag their purchases, they hurriedly took the bags and slipped away.
However, they could not help but secretly glance at Zachary as they left.
Serenity’s husband was really good looking.
It was just that his expression was too grim and scary.
“Do you need help?” Zachary asked after he left the insulated lunch boxes in the kitchen.
He looked around the store. There were only a few students and parents remaining inside.
Serenity laughed. “Your help will only scare away my few customers. I’ll pass. Why did you come over so early?”
“I left early.”
“It’s great being your own boss. No one says a word when you leave work early.”
Zachary smiled.
Ten minutes later, the customers finished buying the stationery they wanted and left.
“Didn’t you say Sonny would be sent here?” Zachary asked.
“Sonny wanted to be with Liberty, so Jim had no choice but to send him back to the hospital again.”
After almost getting kidnapped again, Sonny was clingier to his mother.
Zachary did not say anything else. He went back to the kitchen, transferred the packed dishes to plates, and brought them out.

Chapter 1470
Serenity wiped the small dining table clean.
Her heart warmed when she looked at the dishes. No matter the time, he always prepared her favorites.
“What did Callum say to you? What trouble did he get into?” Zachary asked curiously as he filled his beloved wife’s plate with food.
“He misunderstood Camryn and did something out of line, so he wanted me to help him apologize. I told him that he had to bear the consequences of his own actions.”
Serenity did not go into detail because she felt that it was Callum and Camryn’s private matter. Her brother–in–law told her about it because he trusted her, so she could not tell anyone else about it. She did not tell Zachary lest Camryn felt embarrassed to see him in the future.
Even though she did not go into detail, Zachary was a man who had also forced a kiss on Serenity before, so he quickly guessed what happened.
He wisely did not continue to inquire.
While the couple had lunch, Duncan went to the hospital after work. He stood outside the door of Liberty’s ward for a long time but did not go in.
Zachary’s bodyguard asked, “Are you going in, Mr. Lewis?”
Duncan quickly said, “Never mind. I just came to take a look. Is Liberty better?”
The bodyguard replied, “Ms. Hunt is recovering well and can get out of bed to walk around now. She’s looking forward to being discharged. Sonny and she are eating inside now.”
Liberty and Sonny’s three meals were sent over by Sam daily. They were all prepared according to the nutritionist’s recipes, which were conducive to Liberty’s recovery.
Audrey also sent tonic soup from time to time.
Olivia tried sending soup too, but she returned with an untouched bowl every time.
The Brown family did not show themselves today.
“Oh, that’s good. That’s good. Keep watch and don’t let strangers in,” Duncan instructed before turning away.
The bodyguard was confused. Duncan came all the way but did not go into the ward and did not let Liberty know that he had been here.
Duncan met his mother when he was rounding the corner.
“Duncan,” Mrs. Lewis saw him first and called out.
Duncan looked at his mother. “Mom, what are you doing here?”
“If you can be here, why can’t I? A friend of mine was also hospitalized, so I came to see her. Are you here to see Liberty?”
Mrs. Lewis’s words were filled with displeasure.
She already said that she would not accept Liberty as her daughter–in-law, but her son kept running to Liberty.
Duncan hummed and asked, “Which friend of yours was hospitalized?”
“Hannah is sick. Duncan, I told you last time that you and Liberty are not suitable. Stop coming to see her. She doesn’t even like you. Why are you showering an uninterested party with affection? Isn’t Lily good enough? Lily and you are the perfect match.”
Mrs. Lewis could not help but nag her son.
Duncan said in a low voice, “Mom, I told you that I’m in charge of my marriage. You’re here to visit Hannah, right? Go on. I’m leaving now.”
Then, he walked past his mother and left.
Mrs. Lewis did not stop him and turned around to watch his figure saunter away.
“It’s not like you can’t get a wife, but you insist on liking a divorced woman. Furthermore, she doesn’t even like you and only thinks of you as her landlord. Why are you still clinging to her?” Mrs. Lewis grumbled about her son.
