Chapter 3521
“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.
Even if she hadn’t been blind, with the Newman family’s assets, she still wouldn’t measure up to the York family, a wealthy family worth hundreds of billions.
This added a lot of pressure, making her feel inferior and unworthy of Callum.
Others echoed this sentiment.
Even Evelyn approached her mother-in-law, saying that Camryn, being blind, was unworthy of Callum. She claimed Camryn couldn’t even cook a meal or take care of Callum, but instead, Callum had to take care of her. She would drag Callum down.
Given Callum’s standing, he could marry someone better and healthier.
However, Callum’s genuine feelings moved her, making her set aside her insecurities and accept his love.
He also went to great lengths to cure her blindness.
When he sought Dr. Carden’s help, he was often looked down upon by Tim. Despite being a child of destiny himself, Callum put aside his pride and begged for assistance.
Even when Tim nearly kicked him out, he didn’t give up.
Evelyn also advised her that if she truly loved Callum, she should accept his love and not miss out on him, or she would regret it.
The men of the York family, regardless of their rank, received the same upbringing and had the same approach to love: loyalty and devotion.
If you aren’t moved, it’s fine. But if you are, it’s for life.
