Unexpectedly, there wasn't any pain. Cameron opened her eyes and realized that she was lying on top of Waylon. A sponge mat was under them, seemingly placed there in case things went wrong.Cameron slowly snapped back. “You…”Waylon suddenly flipped over, held her under him, and then looked down at her. “Fell off the ring. You lost.”She paused for a long moment. “You did that intentionally?”He smiled and didn’t speak. Cameron pushed him away and sat up. “You didn’t win either.”Waylon chuckled. “I didn’t say I had to win. I just bet that you would lose.”Cameron was rendered speechless because she felt like she had been tricked. She punched Waylon on the shoulder, which made him fall back onto the mat as if he was really hurt.Cameron realized she had used too much force, so she quickly checked on him. “Hey, are you alright?”He didn't speak.Cameron was worried, so she put out her hand to check his shoulder. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms, which made
Sunny calmly said, “Now that everything has ended, I’ll be safe. You don’t need to worry. Mahina, the butler, and Damian will be here. I’ll be more carefree when you’re not around.”Daisie placed down her cutlery and got up. “Sir, Cameron, I’m done. I’m going to check on them.”She left the space for the father and daughter. After Daisie left, Sunny asked Cameron somberly. “What do you think about Willie?”She looked around. “What do you mean?”“Do you think I can’t tell? Something is going on between you two, and he has feelings for you.” He was very serious.Cameron was shocked. “That’s nonsense.”‘Wayne has feelings for me?’“Only you know whether that’s nonsense or not.” Sunny picked up the napkin and dabbed the corner of his lips. “Think about how you feel when you’re around him, then about how you feel when you hang out with the other members.”After that, Sunny picked up his cane and went upstairs. Cameron froze on the spot, her mind in a mess. Did Waylon really ha
Sunny, who captured the moment, ducked behind a wall. Cameron’s face turned red. She felt extremely awkward and ran back into the house. Waylon held his palm to his cheeks because he had lost his cool…Cameron ran into the study and opened the door. Sunny was sitting behind the desk and reading his newspaper, pretending nothing had happened. She walked over and held out her hand. “Give me your phone.”He looked up and smirked. “Why? Is that how you speak to your father? You’re going to check my phone? No way.”Cameron crossed her arms. “You’re not going to delete it?”Sunny turned away and mumbled, “No, I finally got a picture of my son-in-law. I would have no dignity if I just deleted it just because you said so.”She choked. “Son-in-law…”Sunny smirked and folded the newspaper. “I’ve accepted him, so you’re not going to reject him.”After that, he continued. “He’s such a great guy. Even Minzy could see that, but you’re still oblivious. If I didn’t insist, he would have l
That was unbelievable. Daisie scratched her cheek. “What are your terms?’Sunny said, “Nothing much. All I want is for Cam to find a man who matches her. I think your brother is a good man, and I hope that I’m not wrong about it.”Daisie suddenly felt guilty. “But it doesn’t look like Cameron wants to go to Bassburgh. I don’t know if it’s a good idea to insist that she goes.”Even though Sunny did this for her happiness, it felt as though forcing her to go to Bassburgh for her brother wasn’t the right way to do it.Sunny smiled. “No one can make her do something if she doesn’t want to. I have no idea how, but what if she wants to go?”At least she wasn’t forced to go.Even if they tricked her, there was no point if she wasn’t willing. He knew his daughter well enough.She just didn’t want to admit her feelings to anyone.The next day, after breakfast, the party went to the pier. The ship that was docked there would leave at 10:15 a.m.Sunny, Mahina, and the butler sent them
Daisie walked up to Cameron and sat beside her. “You’re right.”Cameron lowered her head as she sank deep in thought. “But your eldest brother didn’t go with you, while your second brother accompanied you when you went to study in Yaramoor?” She chuckled and replied, “Yeah, my eldest brother didn’t go with us. He has been living in Stoslo and only went to Yaramoor to keep us company for a while after graduating.”“I see…” Daisie went closer to her and asked, “Why does it seem to me that you’re interested in my brother?”Cameron was stumped and turned her head sideways. “That is impossible. I’ll never be interested in your brother.” Daisie decided not to expose her. She thought of something and pulled her phone out. “Let me show you some pictures.”“What pictures?” asked Cameron.Daisie flipped through her albums and handed her phone to Cameron.Cameron took it, and she was shocked when she flipped through them. “This is…”“These are the pictures from when my eldest broth
Even if Nollace did not care about it, he was the only son in the Knowles. What if his parents wanted a boy?Daisie started to make up those dramatic scenes where a rich family only wanted a boy inside of her head.Nollace caressed her cheek with his hand and chuckled. “Don’t worry. My parents like girls very much. Just look at my mother. She likes you more than she likes me.”Daisie lowered her head and looked at the knife wound on his body. She ran her finger over that bumpy scar, and she figured that he must have gotten it when he went missing. "It hurts, doesn't it?"Nollace grabbed her hand and kissed her forehead. “This is nothing compared to giving birth.”She was stunned for a moment. Then, she leaned on his chest and said, “If you're not afraid of pain, I won't be either.”He chuckled. “I’m just worried that you might cry.”Daisie was rendered speechless. Meanwhile, Cameron stayed in her cabin until the evening. She was starving, so she came out of her cabin.She fol
Cameron turned her head sideways and replied, “I’m not.” Waylon chuckled. “This is new, Cameron. I thought you were used to seeing men's bodies since you have been staying under the same roof with other men the whole time?”Cameron turned her head around to meet his gaze. “Are you serious? I’m not embarrassed at all. I dare you to strip yourself naked.”Waylon looked at her silently. With a triumphant grin on her face, Cameron went closer to him and said, “I thought you wouldn't feel embarrassed at all, Wayne. But it seems like I was wrong. It's okay. I don't mind seeing it again.”She was going to win against Waylon once, even if it meant throwing away her own dignity.Cameron coiled her finger around the button on his shirt. However, before she could do anything, he stopped her and narrowed his eyes. “Are you serious about this?”It went without saying that Cameron was just joking with him. After all, what if he was even more shameless than she was? She just wanted to put hi
Waylon opened his eyes slowly and turned his head around to look at her. Cameron forced a smile on her face and said, “Can I discuss something with you?”As if he could read her mind, he said, “Let me guess. You’re going to ask me for money so that you can book a hotel?”Her smile disappeared as she replied, “Forget about it. I still owe you a lot of money, so I shouldn’t borrow money from you anymore.”Waylon handed an access card to Cameron.She was stunned and looked at him in confusion. “You can stay wherever you want in Bassburgh.” Waylon took in her surprised gaze and chuckled. “We won’t let you stay on the street.”When she did not accept the access card, Waylon continued. “If you don’t want it, then I’m taking it back.”“Wait!” Cameron hastily took over the card and said, “I didn’t say I don’t want it.” She needed to spend money to live in a hotel, so of course, she would settle down for anything. Besides, she didn't want to stay in someone else's home either. After
