Cameron was rather smart but could also sometimes be very confused. However, when faced with life-and-death situations, she was always a calm and rational person, but she seemed to lose her cool very easily and often when she was in front of him.Waylon stretched out his hand, tucked the locks and strands of hair that were covering her face behind her auricle with his fingertips, and squinted slightly. “Good for you, getting to sleep so soundly.”…A ray of sunlight beamed into the room through the window, penetrated through the gap in the curtains, and reflected onto the couch. Cameron slowly opened her eyes, recalled something, and sat up abruptly.She removed the blanket covering her, looked around, and suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit to Waylon’s room last night. It was obvious that she had not only fallen asleep in his room but also forgotten what she wanted to talk to him about.Cameron walked up to the door and opened it, and that was when two maids who passed b
The two of them stayed in the private room until noon before leaving. Waylon then sent Quincy back to the hotel.In the hotel lobby, when they ran into Saydie, Quincy’s eyes lit up, and he rushed up to her with a wide grin, intending to hug her. “Baby!”Saydie stretched out her hand to stop him from approaching, “Who gave you the permission to call me by my name out here?”His expression looked extremely aggrieved. “I haven’t seen you for so long, so why can’t you let me hug you for a bit?”Saydie grabbed him by the collar. “Why didn’t you notify me before you came to the East Islands?”‘Nobody told me that he’s also included in the team that the Goldmanns sent here.’Quincy forced out a smile. “I’m worried about you.”“Worry about yourself first, you rookie. I don’t have the time to protect you here.”Quincy gave off a profound smile and held her hand. “Don’t worry. I may be a rookie when it comes to combat, but I always do well with this great brain of mine.”Waylon smiled h
Cameron picked up her silverware and started eating while Sunny put his down. “Willy is about to leave. What are your thoughts on that?”Cameron froze for a moment, lowered her head, and continued eating. “What idea do you expect me to have? Will he stay here just because I want him to stay?”His eyes lit up. “How are you so sure he won’t? Perhaps he’ll stay behind if you make your wish known?”Cameron was astonished for a split second. She then raised her head and looked at Sunny after a moment. “Dad, I don’t really get what you just said. Why don’t you give it to me straight? I intended to ask you about this too. Do you want to take him in as your son?”Sunny was at a loss for words.His fists got so hard as he was on the brink of cracking her head open to see what was wrong with her brain.He calmed himself down and said earnestly, “You’re right. I indeed want to do so. But he already has a biological father, so how can I make him my son? So use that brain of yours and give it
The maid responded with a chuckle, “How can you misunderstand Mr. Southern Sr.’s intention so much? You’re his only daughter, so even if you get married, you’ll still be his daughter. Why would he cut off his relationship with you just because you’re married?”The other maid added, “Yes, although it’s said that daughters and dead fish are no keeping wares, that’s only feasible in certain situations. Mr. Southern Sr. loves you so much. There’s no way that he’ll refuse to recognize you as his daughter after you’ve gotten married. A woman’s maiden family will always be her biggest backing.”Cameron frowned.‘It does seem that the dream is quite the opposite when compared to reality. How could Dad be as ruthless as he was in the dream? I might’ve overthought this and gotten too anxious and worried.’The two maids exchanged gazes and giggled. “Ms. Southern all of us think Mr. Goldmann is a pretty good choice.”She was startled. “Care to elaborate on that?”“He looks handsome and charm
Cameron rubbed her temples and did not dare to look directly at him. “Okay, I take back what I just said, alright? I’ll even apologize to you.”Waylon stared at her. “This apology isn’t sincere enough.”She looked up. “Then what do you want?”He gave off a half-smile. “You claimed overtly in front of the maids that I’m a promiscuous person. That will surely slander my reputation, so don’t you need to be held accountable?”Cameron was completely astonished.Quincy, who was hiding behind the wall, was completely gobsmacked. He rubbed his eyes.‘Is that the eldest son of the Goldmanns that I’ve known for years? He’s actually making a fool out of the young lady.’As for Sunny, he was on cloud nine at the moment. He did not expect this young man to be even more flirtatious than he himself was back when he was significantly younger.Cameron was about to say something when she heard rustling movements. She turned her head and immediately realized that Sunny and Quincy were eavesdroppi
It meant that the shop already had a specific template and fabric reserved for Waylon. All his measurements and sizes were fixed, so all the tailor needed to do was only to cut the fabric and go straight into production.Cameron put the shirt back in the gift box. “Why didn’t you tell me that sooner? I actually had to take all his measurements for this shirt.”However, it turned out that all his measurements were already recorded in the shop’s system, and there was no need for her to provide his measurements to the shop at all.Daisie chuckled. “I didn’t expect you to be so attentive over a shirt.”“It’s compensation from me to him, after all.” She closed the lid of the gift box, inserted it in the gift bag, and got up. “Okay, then I’ll go home first.”Daisie escorted Cameron to the door and watched as she drove away. She was about to close the door when she suddenly saw two cars parked on the opposite side of the road turn around and drive in the same direction as Cameron did sho
Cameron held her eye in pain and clenched her jaw. “You’re not playing by the rules!”The man grabbed her by her hair and sniggered. “You really are a good fighter, so we need to use some tricks. It feels terrible, doesn’t it? You can only blame yourself for being Mr. Southern Sr.’s daughter!”Cameron couldn’t open her eyes. She was careless when dealing with these goons. “Alright, Ms. Southern, please come with us.” The man hit her, and she fainted. He then pushed her into the car and drove off quickly.Meanwhile, a black car rushed over while Waylon, who was in the passenger’s seat, tried calling Cameron, but no one picked up.Quincy drove. “Do you think something happened to her?”Saydie had said that ‘Mr. Southern’ was just as good a fighter as she was. It was impossible that something could have happened to her. Waylon stared at his screen and frowned. “Even the best fighter might not always win. Step on it.”Quincy accelerated and suddenly saw cars blocking their way. H
Donald stood on the deck while Chunky walked toward him. “Sir.”He took out a pack of cigarettes and held one between his fingers. “Get someone to deliver a message to Sunny that we have his daughter. The decision is in his hands.”Chunky nodded...Cameron sat on the bed, and there were deep marks from the abrasion around her wrists because she struggled.Even though the pepper spray was sprayed on her eyes, it wasn’t all of it, so she wouldn’t be blind. She slowly opened her eyes. It still hurt, and her eyes were so sensitive that even a little sunlight would make them hurt. She clicked her tongue and gave up on struggling, then lay down on the bed sideways and laughed at herself. “If I keep walking by the river, my feet will eventually get wet.”Someone opened the door and entered.The person placed down some food and sounded rude. “Ms. Southern, eat when you’re hungry. No one will be serving you.”Cameron got up. When her eyes finally adjusted to the brightness, she squin
