Chapter 1498

Callum saw Dalton sending Camryn back.

Before Camryn returned, Callum asked his bodyguard to drive away from the Newmans‘ villa, but after thinking about it, he got out of the car midway and walked back, intending to wait for her at the entrance of her residence.

Dalton was unfamiliar with Callum, so he failed to recognize Callum by the latter’s back when he drove Camryn back in his car.

When Dalton left, Callum was only a hundred meters away from the Newmans‘ villa. He saw Camryn getting out of Dalton’s car.

Callum was originally worried about Camryn, but when he saw that scene, his thoughts went haywire.

The more he thought about it, the angrier and more jealous he felt.

Just what was the relationship between that man and her?

She was with him for the entire afternoon and evening.

“Tell me. Who is he?” Callum questioned her.

Camryn did not answer him and tried to walk past him.

Callum reached out to grab her wrist, pulling her back.

She tried to wrench his large hand away, but he grabbed so tightly that she could not break free.

“Please let go!”

Callum stared at her for a long time before softening his tone. “Camryn, I’m sorry. You can slap me if you’re still angry at me. You can slap me until both my cheeks are swollen and teach me a lesson.

“I promise you that I won’t treat you like that again. I won’t do that to you without your consent.

“Camryn, I don’t think of you as a task. After getting to know you, I’ve really come to like you. Putting aside my nana’s assignment, I think I already have feelings for you. It’s because I like you! that I get jealous when I see you with another man.

“But you said that we have nothing to do with each other, so I–I… I was wrong, Camryn. You can hit me and scold me, but don’t run away from me like this, okay?

“Don’t turn off your phone. My thoughts will run wild if I can’t reach you. I worry if you get into an accident somewhere. I couldn’t focus on work the whole day. All I could think about was you.”

Callum’s apology was also laced with a confession.

He did not dare say he was in love with Camryn, but he could say that he really liked being with her.

He also liked to tease her a lot.

At first, he probably thought of her as a task given to him by his nana.

However, after being told off by his sister–in–law, he understood one thing–he had feelings for Camryn now.

Otherwise, if he did not like her, he would not care about her being intimate with another man.

He forced a kiss on her because he was jealous.

Callum thought he was well–educated and would never do something as uncouth as forcing himself on a woman.

However, he did it! He kissed her without her consent.

Camryn could not see. When he treated her like that, she must have felt that he was bullying her.

He did not respect her.

She would feel like he was treating her like a plaything.

He never played with women.

From the first time he saw her photo and his nana said that she was the wife chosen for him, he had treated her as his wife, no matter how reluctant he was initially.

Camryn’s expression remained calm and quiet.

After waiting for Callum to finish, she was silent for a long time before saying softly, “Mr. York, it’s very late now. I’m tired and want to rest first. Please leave, okay?”
