Chapter 3746
Callum said, “I wanted you to learn the way to my office, which is why I asked you to bring the flowers.” Camryn replied, “Did you forget that I’m blind? Delivering those flowers in person was not easy for me.” Callum gently hugged her and apologized, saying, “Camryn, I’m sorry. I didn’t think it through and made things more difficult for you.” Camryn pushed him away, stating, “Customers can walk in at any time, so please don’t keep hugging me. You might not care, but I’m not as confident. Back then, I was so frustrated with you that I cursed you a hundred thousand times in my head. But honestly, I did learn the route to your office. Now, I could find it even with my eyes closed.” Just then, Trenton returned. After Carrie left, he had been feeling down and stayed outside for a while to gather himself before coming back. He didn’t want Camryn to worry about him. “Brother-in-law, you’re here,” Trenton said with a smile when he saw Callum. “Trenton, when did you get back?” Callum asked, surprised, as he thought Trenton would return closer to the Lunar New Year. “Brother Dal gave me some time off, so I came back early to help my sister prepare for the New Year. I was about to call you to invite you to dinner, but since you’re here, it’s not necessary now.” Callum walked over, patted Trenton on the shoulder, and said, “Great! You seem more mature now. But inviting me to dinner—aren’t you worried you’ll spend your hard-earned winter break salary on just one meal?” Trenton laughed awkwardly. “Well, brother-in-law, I can afford a meal, but it might not be at a five-star hotel—just a regular place. I hope you don’t mind.” He preferred to spend his own earnings rather than using his parents’ money for the meal. Callum smiled. “I’m just teasing. I’m
“Not picky at all. Even if it’s just street food, we’d be honored. However, there’s no need for you to spend your money. Save what you’ve earned for your New Year’s expenses and living costs once you’re back at school. How about I treat you to hot pot?”
“Okay, I won’t refuse that,” Trenton quickly agreed.
Callum turned to Camryn and said, “See, when I offer to treat your brother to hot pot, he doesn’t even pretend to argue.”
Camryn replied, “He wanted to treat you, but you insisted otherwise. Your income is much higher than his, so if he didn’t accept your offer immediately, he might miss out on hot pot altogether. I haven’t had hot pot in ages, and it’s perfect for the cooler weather. Back then, I didn’t have the opportunity to enjoy it.”
When she was blind, eating hot pot was challenging, as she needed someone to assist her.
Callum said thoughtfully, “Then let’s have hot pot tonight. And in the future, if you ever feel like having it, just let me know, and I’ll make it at home. We can enjoy it in comfort and peace.”
Camryn smiled and said, “Sounds good.”
Trenton looked at the two of them and joked, “Sister, brother-in-law, when you two are being all lovey-dovey, please remember that I’m still single.”
