Chapter 1194
Married at First Sight
âYou donât seem like a blind person when you do all these things, Ms. Newman.â
Camryn placed the stick back in its original position. She said indifferently, âIâve gotten used to it. Iâve been running this flower shop for years and doing the same daily routine. I can do it by instinct since Iâm used to it.â
After opening the door, Camryn put down her cane and started moving potted plants that were taking up space outside skillfully.
âWhat flowers do you want to buy today, Mr. York?â Camryn asked Callum as she moved the flowers.
âYou can take your time and look around.â
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 shopâs entrance.
The name of each flower was on every flowerpot. However, the names were not written on paper but on wood. Each flowerâs name was carved on a wooden sign, which enabled Camryn to identify the flower her customers were interested in by touching the engraving on the wooden sign.
âItâs not very convenient for you to run a business with impaired vision.â
âI have to do it even if itâs inconvenient. I have to survive.â
Camrynâs tone was always calm and indifferent.
Callum looked toward her. Her features were intricate, but her face was a little too tiny. On top of that, she wore a large pair of sunglasses, making her face even look smaller.
She was born into an affluent family, but her life was as ordinary as it could get. She said she would not be able to survive if she did not have a business.
Did the Newman family not give her any living expenses?
âIs Mrs. Newman your biological mother?â
Callum could not resist asking Camryn.
After a moment of silence, she said, âIâd rather she wasnât my biological mother. Unfortunately, she is.â
âWhy is she treating you so badly despite being your biological mother?â
The eldest daughter of the Newman family was like an invisible being who could not even compare to the servants in the house. That was a fact that everyone in that neighborhood knew.
Callum could hear things about Camryn not being favored without deliberately asking around about it.
Camryn walked to a table. There was an electric kettle and a teapot on the table.
She took the electric kettle into the pantry, filled it with water, and started boiling water.
âMs. Newman, thereâs no need to make me tea. I donât like drinking tea.â
Callum said after noticing Camrynâs intentions.
She did not stop her movements. She took the teapot and washed it in the pantry before placing it back. She said calmly, âWeâll prepare tea for our regulars sometimes. When my employees come to work, theyâll make the tea.â
Camryn could prepare tea with her instincts. However, she would add too much water and end up spilling it everywhere.
Therefore, she would not make tea unless it was necessary. She would wait until her employees came to work to make it.
âYou might find it unbelievable because you came from a happy family, Mr. York. Actually ⦠not all parents will love their children. On the other hand, some parents do, but thereâs just one child they dislike who canât obtain their affection.â
It was not that her mother preferred boys over girls.
Carrie was simply her motherâs favorite child and precious sweetheart. Her younger brother was not even favored as much as Carrie. Maybe it was because he treated her well.
Camrynâs younger brother would protect her as long as he was home.
He would have frequent quarrels with their mother and Carrie for her sake.
Carrie would often complain to her younger brother. They were siblings from the same parents, but why was he nicer to Camryn, who was born from a different father?
