Chapter 1549
Melissa’s words made the two tense men temporarily suppress their anger toward each other
When entering the store, the two men walked side by side and almost bumped into each other
Dalton glared at Callum and said in a low voice, “Mr. York, Cam has not accepted your advances yet, so please give her the respect she deserves. Don’t get all touchy–feely with her
Callum responded defiantly, “Camryn isn’t really your sister You two have different last names. Only Aunt Evelyn has the right to say such things to me. Besides, I’m not taking advantage of Camryn. I held her hand to help her out of the car because she can’t see.”
Dalton paused, before saying, “Cam thinks of me as her brother, and she was the one who saved my life We’ve been siblings for many years. She’s my sister in my heart!”
I am aware that you and Camryn are close. That’s why I’m calling you Dal too.”
Dalton choked.
Callum’s expression seemed to say, ‘Since I’m calling you Dal, it means I think of you as a brother too. I’m showing you plenty of respect.
“I’m hardly worthy. You should just stick to calling me Mr. Mitchell.”
“I’ll call you whatever Camryn calls you. I listen to Camryn. You should have heard that the men of the York family are very obedient to their wives.”
Dalton’s expression darkened. “Camryn hasn’t married you yet.”
“She will sooner or later.”
Dalton was speechless.
“It’s my first time learning that you are so thick–skinned.”
Callum smiled “I need to be thick–skinned to pursue my wife. If my skin isn’t thick enough and I give up after being rejected, I’ll never be able to catch her.”
Dalton choked again.
The conversation between the two was not loud, but Camryn and Melissa both heard them.
