“Camryn, let’s sit over there and chat,” the old lady suggested, pointing to the nearby pavilion.
Camryn responded meekly, helping the old lady walk towards the pavilion.
After they settled into the pavilion, the old lady took Camryn’s hand and said lovingly, “Camryn, being the young lady of the York family must be very stressful. No matter what you do, countless eyes are watching. If you excel, few will praise you. If you falter, many will criticize you.
Failing to protect your privacy makes it easy for outsiders to pry into your life and fabricate stories. It may boost their readership, but it will bring you unnecessary trouble and worries.”
Camryn pursed her lips and said, “Grandma, I feel okay now. Initially, I felt immense pressure because I was blind and always thought I wasn’t worthy of Callum. If others spoke behind my back and it reached my ears, I would appear calm outwardly but feel very uncomfortable inside. It’s similar to how Seren felt when she didn’t get pregnant for a year after marriage; she was anxious and under great pressure.”
Camryn could understand and appreciate the pressure Serenity faced initially.
That kind of pressure was intangible.
Although she no longer faced the pressure of having a child, she did feel pressure at the beginning. As she told the old lady, she was still blind at that time and couldn’t see. No matter how well she pretended outwardly, she still felt inferior inside. If she had been an ordinary person, she wouldn’t have felt inferior. Despite her blindness, she started a business with her abilities, opening a flower shop with decent income.
Moreover, she had made arrangements in advance. After sending her stepfather and biological mother to prison, she successfully took control of Newman Enterprise.
Her career success restored some of her confidence. But her target was Callum, the second young master of the York family.
Compared to Zachary, Callum was equally impressive. He also served as the vice president of York Corporation. His status and background put immense pressure on Camryn.
Her career achievements paled in comparison to Callum’s.

The readers' comments on the novel: Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary)
Please use the English names as it is difficult to read and connect....
I am very greatful of your hard work in translating the novel in English, is there any chance you could use the character’s name in English please, it’s hard to follow the story with Chinese names. Thanks...
Please use correct names and watch the repeating of pages....
Thank you for the story, its going on well, however the changing of names somehow makes it difficult to follow. Even learning the new ones that you have tried to match, it is extremely difficult to follow and enjoy the drama while trying to go back to rechecking who we are talking about. The title is still Married at first sight (Serenity and Zachary) but they no longer exist in the whole picture. You created a dynamic community which I am sure everyone felt they lived and travelled with. We appreciate all the effort and your insight. I am very grateful for this novel is very captivating....
Please continue using Zachary,. Serenity,Duncan, Liberty etc . You jumped 30 updates and changed names where I'm unable to follow the story and losing interest. This is a great disservice to your loyal readers....
Changing names ruins the whole story. Whoever heard of such a thing....
Please use the old names, the new names are too confusing...
