Chapter 1290
Married at First Sight
Camryn walked around the cash register to retrieve the roses for Callum.
As if she just heard the footsteps, Camryn stopped what she was doing and turned her head to face Mrs. Newman. She indifferently uttered, âMom.â
Mrs. Newman first checked Callum out. Unable to put her finger on the familiar face, she painted a smiling face and asked, âYou look familiar, mister. And you are?â
The person with the Maybach was no ordinary man.
Straightening his back, Callum turned around and met Mrs. Newmanâs gaze. He courteously responded, âCallum, âork.â
âAh, Callum York.â
Mrs. Newman could count the time she had met the nine heirs of the York family because they rarely attended any social engagements.
The outside world would probably not know how the York boys look or what their names were if they never joined the corporate world.
The York family shielded their children well from the world..
Mrs. Newman beamed at the mention of Callumâs name.
She wanted to be friendly with the York boys so that her daughter could marry into the family.
Although Mrs. Newman thought it was strange that Callum would buy flowers at Camrynâs shop, it was not the time or place to dwell on that fact.
âHello, Mrs. Newman,â Callum politely greeted.
With a smile, Mrs. Newman asked, âI overheard that you were buying flowers for your fiancée. Whoâs the lucky girl? Why hadnât I heard about your engagement?â
It was a pity that Zachary married a country bumpkin like Serenity.
Fortunately, Zachary had eight more brothers and cousins.
Apart from Zachary and the youngest two in his family, there were five boys who were wellâsuited. for her Carrie.
Hearing that Callum was engaged, Mrs. Newman wanted to know who the girl was.
Carrie was not out of the woods yet. Since Serenity sued Carrie again, Mrs. Newman and her husband had been going around, figuring out ways to get their daughter out of jail. They had also made arrangements to hire the best defense attorney for their daughter.
Although Carrie hired people to jump on Serenity and trashed her car, Serenity did not suffer any physical harm. Carrie would only receive a light sentence if Serenity could forgive her. However, Serenity, the country bumpkin, refused to let Carrie off the hook.
The cause of this was none other than Camryn.
Mrs. Newman had never liked Camryn. In fact, she wished this daughter of hers was dead. It was. her husband who convinced her to spare Camrynâs life because Camryn was blind and was her dead exâ
husbandâs only flesh and blood.
Callum grinned and replied, âWeâre not engaged yet, but sheâs already a wife to me. Weâll have ant engagement party when I propose to her. Iâll send you an invitation when that happens. Do come.â
Despite Mrs. Newmanâs nastiness toward Camryn, she was still Camrynâs mother.
Callum would gladly send an invitation card to his motherâinâlaw when he got engaged to Camryn. His motherâinâlaw could have a chance to attend their engagement party.
It was a guarantee to rub Mrs. Newman the wrong way.
Mrs. Newman had idea Callumâs fiancée was the daughter she loathed with all her heart. Following Callumâs repiy, Mrs. Newman answered with a smile, âThanks for the invite, Callum. It will be my pleasure to attend your engagement party.â
Even though the Newmans had a tiff with Zachary and his wife, Mrs. Newman could not stop dreaming about marrying her younger daughter into the York family.
At worst, Carrie could leave out Zacharyâs younger brother as a husband candidate.
