Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1295
Camryn also had a younger brother who was protective of her, but it only lasted for a few years. Her mother went so far as to
enroll her brother in a boarding school to stop contact between them.
Her mother got rid of anybody who was good to her.
“Didn’t you say the bouquet was for your fiancée?”
Callum said with a smile, “Have you ever heard about me getting engaged? I just made that up to fool your mom.”
Although Camryn was impaired in sight, she paid attention to the gossip about the wealthiest family in the city.
Sure enough, she had never caught wind of an engagement.
The only person who was tied down by a woman was Mr. Zachary, and his wife was Serenity.
After Serenity lent Camryn a hand, Mr. Zachary even told her stepfather that Serenity hit it off with her. Her stepfather had since
been kinder to her.
Camryn’s stepfather treated her poorly in the past. While he would not torture or pick on her like her mom, her stepfather would
keep mum whenever her mom and Carrie did anything to her..
He was a non–participating enabler and accomplice.
“Well, I won’t refund you the money though.”
Callum laughed. “It’s fine.”
He then added, “Sometimes, you appear unworldly like the material things do not matter to you. Other times, you can be quite
the miser.”
“Money is a great servant but a bad master. You’re born into privilege, so you will never understand the passion I have for turning
a profit.”
Callum had no words.
He was interested in making money too.

The only difference was he was making the big bucks. A few hundred dollars was nothing to him.
Zachary and his wife shared the most intimate moments when the sun went down.
Serenity came out of the bathroom to find Zachary had washed himself. He was leaning against the herdboard and waiting for
her. Approaching with a smile, she climbed onto the bed and drew close to kiss his cheek.
“Babe, you’re done with the showers faster than I am.”
“I showered in your room.”
Zachary wrapped his arms around her before turning to tower over her. He was after something more than snuggling.
“Let’s have a chat, babe.”
Serenity tilted her head to stop Zachary from kissing her lips. Giving up on sealing her breath, he slid his lips across her face for
butterfly kisses. Serenity put her hands over his mouth.
Zachary pulled away her hands and pinned her down, insisting that they locked tongues before he let her go. He asked, “What
do you want to talk about?”
“Get off me. You’re heavy.”
Serenity nudged him away.
Zachary grinned and pecked her lips before turning over to sit by her side. He rested against the headboard like before.
“We can chat about whatever you want.” Zachary pulled her upright and pulled the covers over their legs.
“My aunt asked if we’re expecting when I was there today.”
Zachary furrowed his brows. “It will happen when it happens. My family isn’t pressuring us, but Aunt Audrey seems eager.”
He was not keen on Mrs. Stone putting pressure on Serenity.
