-Callum said, "I just wanted you to learn the way to my office, that's why I asked you to bring the flowers."

Camryn replied, "Did you forget I was blind? You made me deliver those flowers in person, and it wasn't easy for me." Callum gently hugged her and apologized, "Camryn, I'm sorry. I didn't think it through and made things harder for you."

Camryn pushed him away, saying, "Customers can walk in anytime, so don't keep hugging me. You might not care, but I'm not as bold. Back then, I was so frustrated with you, I cursed you a hundred thousand times in my head. But, to be honest, I did learn the route to your office. Now, I could replace it with my eyes closed."

Just then, Trenton returned.

After Carrie left, he had been feeling down and stayed outside for a while to compose himself before coming back. He didn't want Camryn to worry about him.

"Brother-in-law, you're here," Trenton said with a smile when he saw Callum. "Trenton, when did you get back?"

Callum hadn't known Trenton was back, thinking he would return closer to the Lunar New Year.

"Brother Dal gave me some time off, so I came back early to help my sister prepare for the New Year. I was about to call you to invite you to dinner, but since you're here, no need for that now."

Callum walked over, patted Trenton on the shoulder, and said, "Nice! You're more mature now. But inviting me to dinner-aren't you worried you'll spend all your hard-earned winter break salary on just one meal?"

Trenton laughed awkwardly. "Well, brother-in-law, I can afford a meal, but it might not be at a five-star hotel-just a regular place. Hope you don't mind."

He didn't want to use his parents' money for the meal and preferred to spend what he had earned.

Callum smiled. "I'm just teasing. I'm not picky. Even if it's just street food, we'd be honored. But there's no need for you to spend your money. Save what you've earned for your New Year expenses and living costs when you're back at school. How about I treat you to hot pot?"

"Okay, I won't say no to that," Trenton quickly agreed.

Callum turned to Camryn and said, "See, when I offer to treat your brother to hot pot, he doesn't even pretend to argue about it."

Camryn replied, "He wanted to treat you, but you insisted otherwise. Your income is way higher than his, so if he didn't accept your offer right away, he might lose out on hot pot entirely. I haven't had hot pot in ages, and it's perfect for the cooler weather. Back then, I didn't have the chance to enjoy it."

When she was blind, eating hot pot was difficult, as she needed someone to assist her.

Callum said thoughtfully, "Then let's have hot pot tonight. And in the future, if you feel like eating it, let me know, and I'll prepare it at home. We can enjoy it in comfort and peace."

Camryn smiled and said, "Sounds good."

Trenton looked at the two of them, then joked, "Sister, brother-in-law, when you two are being all lovey-dovey, please remember I'm still single."
