Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 1467

Chapter 1467

Callum looked at his sister–in-law’s speechless face and asked carefully, “Should I not have told her the truth? Should I have kept lying to her? Maybe I shouldn’t have let her know that Nana chose her to be my wife.”

Before Serenity could respond, he continued, “I just didn’t want to be like Zachary. I was afraid she’d be angrier if I kept the truth from her for a long time till she finally finds out about it, so I was honest with her. I didn’t want to lie to her.”

After what happened to Zachary, Callum tried his best not to deceive Camryn.

Was telling the truth also the wrong move?

Serenity paused before sharing her thoughts, “No, but the way you phrased it will make Camryn think that you’re not sincere. You’re just finishing the task assigned by Nana. Put yourself in her shoes. Would you be happy if you were her?

“In addition to her sensing that you’re regarding her as a task, and that you don’t really like her, she’ll feel that she’s not worthy of you. It’s true that she’s the eldest daughter of the Newman family, but her status is non–existent in her family. The other noble ladies who try to matchmake their sons automatically exclude her from the list of candidates.

“Camryn can’t see, so she feels inferior to others. You two haven’t known each other enough, and she can’t see you either. Even if she has a good impression of you, there’s a threshold to it. It’s normal for her to avoid you after you tell her the truth.”

Callum said bitterly, “But it’s the truth. I had no choice but to approach her because that was the task Nana gave me. Nana has her reasons for choosing Camryn. I haven’t figured out those reasons yet, but I did it because I felt that there was no way out of this anyway.

“I don’t have a woman I like, so I’ll just marry whoever Nana tells me to marry.”

Serenity glared at him. “You took advantage of her despite having that mindset?”

“She said we have nothing to do with each other, so I proved to her that we do have something to do with each other.”

Callum’s conviction became increasingly outlandish under his sister–in–law’s glare.

“You like Camryn. You acted like that because you got jealous. Callum, you first need to figure out why you did what you did. Look into your heart and figure out if you have feelings for Camryn.

“Don’t treat her as your task. You have to treat her as your lifelong companion. You need to be sincere. Camryn already feels unworthy of you because she can’t see, but you’re still treating her as a task. It’s no wonder she ran away.”
