“Never mind.” Elijah cut Austin off coldly, then grabbed his bag and left the dorm too.
Realizing Lijah might be jealous, Austin let out a sarcastic laugh,
As Cameron reached the dorm entrance, she immediately saw Xander and Tyrell leaning against the wall,
“Cameron!” Tyrell greeted her with a smile. Cameron nodded but kept walking.
“Cameron!” Xander hurried to catch up. “Didn’t you see me?”
Cameron didn’t stop walking “I saw you. What’s up?”
Xander said, “It’s not about me. It’s about you.”
Only then did Cameron halt. “What do you mean?”
Xander said, “You dare walk out of school so openly? Watch out. Samuel might have people ambushing you outside.”
After a moment of silence, Cameron said, “Thanks for the concem. With that, she tried to leave immediately.
Xander quickly blocked her path. “Why won’t you listen? Don’t you know how ruthless Samuel is? Do you want to die?”
The Wallace family’s sudden bankruptcy overnight had been terrifying enough.
Cameron said, “Don’t worry. He can’t do anything to me.” She didn’t bother listening to Xander’s nagging and just took off running.
Xander was speechless.
Tyrell said, “Damn, he runs like a rocket if he joined the track team, he’d probably win a world championship.”
Xander shot him a glare, leaving Tyrell confused about what he’d said wrong.
Xander grumbled, “If you want to get yourself into trouble, I won’t stop you.
Ju first, he’d wanted to take Cameron back to Murphy Manor to keep har safe, but she wasn’t grateful
Milena watched Xander and Cameron from a distance.
Her family had suffered a major upheaval, and after taking a few days off, Milena had returned to school because she had nowhere else to go now
Besides, she needed to cling tightly to Xander, Milena turned away and took out her phone to text him.
Milena [Mr. Murphy, are you with my brother right now!)
When Xander received Milena’s message, he felt irritated instead of is usual excitement.
From the last time Milena had asked for his help, Xander had noticed that Cameron deeply resisted anything related to the Wallace family.
He was tom between his good buddy and the girl he liked.
After a long while, he replied to Milena. Xander: No. Why? You looking for Cameron?
Milena was shocked. She’d just seen them talking together. She didn’t know why Xander’s attitude toward her had changed and immediately suspected that bitch Cameron had said something to him.
Milena was convinced of this purss. She thought Cameron was ton heartless. Not satisfied with sending her parents to jail, Cameron even wanted to sow discord between Milena and Kander.
Milena suppressed her anger and messaged Xander
Milena: (Sorry, Mr. Murphy. Since you and my brother are roommates, assumed you were together. I can’t mach him, and with my parents accident, really don’t know what to do.
Xander read Milena’s message as he walked, frowned, and stuffed his phone into his pocket. Aber a long pause, he replied Xander: I’ve moved out of Room 316. I can’t help if you’re looking for Cameron
Milena stared at Xander’s message, eyes widening, and immediately decided he just didn’t want to help her.
She wondered, Tid Cameron tell him something about mel
Milena’s hands trembled with rage. Biting back her fury, she messaged again. Milena: Sorry to bother you. I’m all alone now and have no one to turn to.
Xander checked his phone twice but finally didn’t reply. He’d do anything to avoid upsetting Cameron.
Cameron reached the underground parking lot. Bradley was waiting in the car.
“Brad, sorry to keep you waiting” Cameron said, climbing into the passenger seat.
“Not a problem at all” Bradley tapped the steering wheel. “Heading back to Noble Vista now?”
Cameron looked at him in confusion.
Bradley added, “You promised to play the piano for me.”
Cameron was speechless, feeling that Bradley was being overly hasty.
Bradley started the car, and the Mercedes slowly exited the parking lot
Elijah sat in his black Rolls-Royce, gazing at the congested street through the window, when he suddenly spotted Bradley’s Mercedes
Elijah frowned slightly. Cameron had ridden with Brad to go home many times, so he wondered if this was another such occasion.
On a whim, he said, “Follow that Mercedes ahead.”
“Yes, Mr. Moore,” the driver replied. The Rolls-Royce began trailing the Mercedes at a distance.
Cameron saw Elijah’s Rolls Royce in the rearview mirror. Since they were going to Noble Vista and Elijah might be too, she thought it wasn’t strange for him to be following
Half an hour later, the Mercedes drove directly into Noble Vista’s underground parking lot, while the Rolls-Royce stopped at the intersection.
Elijah rolled down the window and stared at the parking lot entrance. He wondered, ‘Is Cameron in Brad’s car if he’s going back to Noble Vista?
“Mr. Moore?” The driver called out, waiting for instructions.
“Drive in,” Elijah said.
The Rolls-Royce followed into the parking lot. Before it fully stopped, Elijah saw Cameron and Bradley walking side by side toward the elevator.
He thought, “Cameron is really with Brad. He said he wouldn’t come back. Why did he change his mind?”
Elijah hesitated about following them. He couldn’t explain his current feelings.
Cameron shared things with Austin that he knew nothing about. Her bond with Bradley seemed deeper than with anyone else in the dorm, Shi em cared about Xander’s grades. Only he couldn’t get her attention.
An indescribable feeling overwhelmed Elijah, making him miserable.
“Mr. Moore?” The driver called again, worried to see Elijah lost in thought for the third time.
“Let’s go,” Elijah said, coming back to himself. He pursed his lips and rolled up the window.
Cameron and Bradley returned to Cameron’s house together. He tossed his backpack onto the sofa and asked, “Brad, wat
Bradley said, “What pairs best will piano? Red wine? There was sti
“What pairs vine he’d once treasured in the cabinet
Cameron asked, “You want red wine
Bradley nodded. “Yes. I’ll get it.”, want something to drink?”
Cameron was slightly at a loss for words.
She’d just wanted to play a simple song for Bradley and then go to Silvermoss Castle with him to see Pearl, but from Bradley’s tone, it seemed he intended to savor the music carefully.
Soon, Bradley emerged with a bottle of red wine. He skillfully opened it, poured the wine into a decanter, and fetched two wine glasses.
Cameron sat down at the piano and gently pressed his fingers on the keys. “Brad, what song do you want to hear?”
Bradley said, “I’ll listen to whatever you play.”
Cameron asked, “How about Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star?”
After a moment of silence, Bradley poured two glasses of wine, walked over to Cameron, placed one on the piano, and held the other, swirling it gently
He said, “Can you play F?r Elise?”
Cameron nodded. No one who played plano could be unfamiliar with F?r Elise.
Cameron’s fingers began to dance gracefully across the black and white keys, and beautiful music flawed gently from his fingertips.
As his arms moved and his body swayed, his short hair fluttered, and the starfish earring in his right ear glimmered intermittently.
Bradley leaned against the piano, swirling the wine glass in his hand, listening to the music that filled the entire living room.
