Chapter 1290
Camryn walked around the cash register to retrieve the roses for Callum.
As if she just heard the footsteps, Camryn stopped what she was doing and turned her head to face Mrs. Newman. She indifferently uttered, “Mom.”
Mrs. Newman first checked Callum out. Unable to put her finger on the familiar face, she painted a smiling face and asked, “You look familiar, mister. And you are?”
The person with the Maybach was no ordinary man.
Straightening his back, Callum turned around and met Mrs. Newman’s gaze. He courteously responded, “Callum, “ork.”
“Ah, Callum York.”
Mrs. Newman could count the time she had met the nine heirs of the York family because they rarely attended any social engagements.
The outside world would probably not know how the York boys look or what their names were if they never joined the corporate world.
The York family shielded their children well from the world..
Mrs. Newman beamed at the mention of Callum’s name.
She wanted to be friendly with the York boys so that her daughter could marry into the family.
Although Mrs. Newman thought it was strange that Callum would buy flowers at Camryn’s shop, it was not the time or place to dwell on that fact.
“Hello, Mrs. Newman,” Callum politely greeted.
With a smile, Mrs. Newman asked, “I overheard that you were buying flowers for your fiancée. Who’s the lucky girl? Why hadn’t I heard about your engagement?”
Callum grinned and replied, “We’re not engaged yet, but she’s already a wife to me. We’ll have ant engagement party when I propose to her. I’ll send you an invitation when that happens. Do come.”
Despite Mrs. Newman’s nastiness toward Camryn, she was still Camryn’s mother.
Callum would gladly send an invitation card to his mother–in–law when he got engaged to Camryn. His mother–in–law could have a chance to attend their engagement party.
It was a guarantee to rub Mrs. Newman the wrong way.
Mrs. Newman had idea Callum’s fiancée was the daughter she loathed with all her heart. Following Callum’s repiy, Mrs. Newman answered with a smile, “Thanks for the invite, Callum. It will be my pleasure to attend your engagement party.”
Even though the Newmans had a tiff with Zachary and his wife, Mrs. Newman could not stop dreaming about marrying her younger daughter into the York family.
At worst, Carrie could leave out Zachary’s younger brother as a husband candidate.
