He came to me seeking help, likely wanting to ask if I would take responsibility for you and marry you. Would you agree to that?”
Camryn remained silent.
“Old Mr. Marshall has already sent that scoundrel who attempted to molest you to jail. Your mom found him, considering the Marshall family’s reputation in Wiltspoon. Even Zachary has to show respect to the Marshalls.
“The main branch of the Marshalls is quite respectable, but they have no connection with your mother. Therefore, she had no choice but to find a very distant relative to give you away as a plaything.”
This was the outcome of Callum’s investigation.
At the time, he had beaten the man severely without knowing his identity, only later discovering that he belonged to the Marshall family.
Old Mr. Marshall even thanked him for helping to expose the scoundrel in their midst.
“Thank you, Mr. Callum,” Camryn said, feeling she could do nothing but express her gratitude.
“Make a note of how many meals you owe me, and you can cook for me every day once your eyes are healed.”
Camryn was taken aback. “Are you… hiring me as a chef?”
“Don’t you need to marry me? I don’t need a chef; I need a wife. Isn’t it normal for wives to cook for their husbands?”
“If you can’t cook, that’s fine. I can handle it. Thanks to my grandmother, all my cousins and I are excellent cooks.”
Despite her usually calm demeanor, Camryn couldn’t help but scowl.
“Mr. York, I never agreed to marry you!”
They weren’t even dating!
Callum smiled and replied, “Your uncle instructed me to marry you and take responsibility for you.”
“He has no authority over my marriage!”
Callum looked at her and asked, “Is your refusal to marry me because you think I’m unattractive?”
