Chapter 1465
Married at First Sight
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 cashierâs desk, she asked, âCallum, 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 canât win the fight, you shouldâve asked me to help you.â
Callum flushed when Serenity threw a bunch of questions at him.
Did he need his sisterâinâlaw to help him win a fight?
He was much more skilled than she was.
âSerenity, you must help me this time.â
âOf course. How dare someone beat my brotherâinâlaw like that? Even if your brother can take it, I canât. Tell me who beat you up like this. Iâll go and give it to them.â
Serenity said while dragging a stool over and pushing it behind Callum. âSit and tell me slowly. Do you want some water?
âI havenât fought with anyone for a long time. I was just thinking about exercising my muscles.â
Serenity went to pour some water for Callum.
When Callum saw his sisterâinâlawâs figure and heard her words of concern, he felt that she was very excited.
âSerenity, I didnât fight with anyone,â Callum explained.
If he lost a fight, he would need to ask his brothers for help. Although his sisterâinâlaw 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, âThen tell me what happened.
âDonât worry, Iâll help you if I can. Not only this time, you can always come to me if youâre bullied in the future and need someone to help you out. Your brother has my back, so donât be afraid.â
Serenity acted like an elder sisterâinâlaw.
She looked like she was ready to seek justice for her brotherâinâlaw 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.
Callumâs face seemed to have become even redder.
Faced with his sisterâinâlawâs concerned yet gossipy look, he did not know if he made the right choice by coming to her.
That said, when Callum recalled Camrynâs 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, âSerenity, I made a mistakeâa huge mistake, and I donât know what to do. You have to help me. I think only you can help me with this.â
âYou made a mistake? A huge one?â
Serenity was no longer gossipy and became worried instead. She asked carefully, âYou didnât kill someone or set a fire or rob someone, right?â
âHow could I? The Yorks only do honest business. We would never do things like that.â
âWhat mistake did you make then? Did you sign the wrong contract and cost the company hundreds of millions of dollars?â
Callum shook his head.
âTell me what it is then. Iâll 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 wonât help you if you have to go to jail. for your mistake.â
One must have principles when helping someone else and could not help with everything.
Callum was speechless.
âSerenity, I just kissed Camryn. Do I need to go to jail for that?â
Serenity asked, âYâyou⦠kissed Camryn?â
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.
