Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1149
Beep, beep.
Upon hearing the sounds of car horns, Camryn quickly got up. At that instant, she had no idea which direction she should walk.
Judging from the continuous honks, it was almost time for school hours to end.
Camryn walked directly to the right.
A honk rang out again.
Did she walk in the wrong direction?
She hesitated for a moment before she turned around and walked back.
Callum had no choice but to get out of the car. He strode toward Camryn and reached out to grip her wrist. Camryn instinctively
struggled, but after sensing the cologne on him, she stopped struggling.
Callum directly stuffed her into his car. He even looked back and helped her pick up her gifts and white cane. He crammed the
things into his car and placed them beside her.
Ring, ring...
Callum’s phone rang.
He parked his car by the roadside first to avoid blocking the parents who came to fetch their children from school.
Only after parking his car did he answer his sister–in–law’s call.
“Serenity, I’ll be there in a moment.”
“Callum, you’ll be right here? Um, Callum, I’m sorry but I’ve already solved the problem. I don’t need your help. You may return.”
Callum asked, “You’ve solved it, huh?”
“Mhm. It’s been solved. You can carry on with your work.”

Deep down, Callum grumbled. Given that Serenity called him over in a desperate tone, he was under the impression that
something big had happened. After Callum informed his shopping brother about it, his shopping brother urged him to hurry over
as Callum must be the only person who could solve the problem.
Therefore, he hurried over even before it was time for him to get off work.
The moment he arrived, Serenity said that she did not need his help.
Callum felt like he was being tricked by Serenity.
Although Callum was unhappy about it, he dared not voice it. He said, “Serenity, I’ll return and carry on with my work since
you’ve managed the problem.”
“Go ahead. You came here in vain because of me. I’ll let your shopping brother know and ask him to give you a half–day break
tomorrow.”
Amused, Callum asked, “Serenity, can’t you just be generous to ask him to give me one day leave instead?”
On the phone, Serenity said with a laugh, “Okay. I’ll give you one day of break. I’ll let your shopping brother know when I return tonight.
You can get back to work.”
With that, Serenity hung up the phone while grinning. She looked at her best friend and said, “Camryn is the wife Nana picked for
Callum.”
Jasmine asked, “How could Grandma May allow Mr. Callum to go with her? She’s blind.”
“Just now, Camryn said that she really is blind, but that doesn’t mean she’ll be blind in the future. There must be a reason Nana
picked her. As Camryn is in a difficult situation right now, Callum can protect and assist her.”
“So did you anxiously call Callum over to create an opportunity for the two of them?”
Serenity chuckled. “I just wanted to know the answer soon.”
They had been watching many shows of Serenity and Zachary. Now, it was Serenity’s turn to watch the drama.
Jasmine said with elation, “Seren, we’re best friends. You must count me in when there’s a good show.”

“I’m asking you to join now, aren’t I?”
The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
