Austin suddenly realized he’d said the wrong thing and quickly apologized, “Sorry.”
He was so happy today that his brain wasn’t working properly.
Cameron had cut ties with the Wallace family, so he imagined she’d had a tough time there too.
Cameron raised an eyebrow. “It’s fine.” She finished two pieces of cake, set down her fork contentedly, and said, “Aus, it’s late. I should go now. Happy birthday-get some rest.”
As Cameron stood up, Austin immediately stood up too. He said, “Cameron, it’s so late-why not stay the night?”
If Edmund found out Cameron had sneaked into Fraser Villa at night, things would be bad. The old jerk was like an emperor in the family, and even
Samuel dared not disobey him.
Cameron shook her head. “No, I need to go back.”
“But…” Austin tried to persuade her.
Cameron interrupted, “Don’t worry. I’ll leave the same way I came-no one will know.”
“Alright.” Austin walked Cameron to the door.
Cameron waved. “Goodbye.”
Austin said, Cameron, thank you!
Cameron said, “It’s all right,
She’d come because Austin’s situation in the Fraser family reminded her too much of her own the Wallace family, Bringing Austin a birthday cake like traveling back in time to give her past self a birthday blessing.
Cameron leaped out of the window.
“Cam!” Austin jumped in surprise, then quickly covered
Soon, Cameron vanished into the night.
Austin stared into the dark night, and after a long while, he smiled slowly.
Thanks to Cameron, this birthday was the happiest he’d had since returning to the Fraser family.
Austin hoped Cameron would join every future birthday of his, after all, she was so kind.
When Cameron returned to Silvermoss Castle at 1 a.m., she was surprised to find the living room lights still on. Bradley was still watching TV, stuck on a legal channel replaying old episodes.
“Brad, you’re still up?” Cameron asked, surprised.
Bradley turned around, saw she was back, and leaned back on the sofa. “No plans tomorrow, so I don’t need to sleep early.” cameron hodded and sat down across from him. “Is the law firm not buty recently?”
Bradley adjusted his gold rimmed glasses, his eyes showing traces of fatigue behind the lenses. “Pretty busy, but since I’m about to take the SAT in focus isn’t there.”
Thank goodness Cameron was back. Otherwise, he’d have stayed up all night he couldn’t rest easy until he says her return with his own eyes
Noticing his exhaustion, Cameron said, “Brad, it’s late. Get some rest. I’ll go to my room too.”
Bradley nodded. “Okay. Let’s have breakfast together tomorrow.”
Cameron smiled. “Good night.”
“Good night.” Bradley watched Cameron go upstairs before turning off the TV and heading to his own room.
As Bradley stepped into the shower and hot water poured over him, he suddenly remembered Eddie’s words.
“Brad, don’t you think you treat Cam too well? You gave him a house worth hundreds of millions of dollars to raise a tiger, but you wouldn’t even let me stay. How close are you two?” Eddie said.
Bradley wiped the water from his face. He didn’t know why he felt compelled to help Cameron. He just did.
After showering, Cameron checked her phone and saw messages from Austin.
Austin: [Cameron, did you get home safely?]
Austin: [Cameron, are you okay?]
Austin: [Cameron, please reply.]
Cameron quickly texted back. Cameron: [Aus, I’m fine. Just saw my phone. It’s late-get some rest.]
Austin replied instantly. Austin: [As long as you’re safe. Thanks again for tonight.]
Cameron didn’t respond, tossing her phone aside and falling asleep.
The next day, Cameron reached the stairwell and saw Bradley sitting on the sofa watching TV-still the legal channel.
“Brad, why are you up so early?” Cameron asked.
Bradley looked up at her with a smile in his eyes. “I just woke up a little while ago.”
As Cameron came downstairs, Bradley stood and said, “Breakfast is just ready. You have perfect timing.”
Cameron looked toward the courtyard. “Where’s Pearl?”
Bradley said, “Probably hunting out back? It’s been here for days. Don’t worry.”
Cameron nodded. She wasn’t worried, just asking.
After breakfast, Pearl appeared.
Spotting Cameron sunbathing in the yard it happily rolled over at her leet, exposing its round bally it was a pasture aldare use
“Canteron sighed, “You don’t look like a wild animal at all anymore
Pearl let out a low growl.
Bradley sat nearby and said, “It’s only docile with you. When you’re not around, it shows off its dominance.
Pearl barked, half-heartedly protesting.
Outside the castle, Milena froze at the sound of Pearl’s growl, her hair standing on end.
Milena couldn’t reach Cameron. All her contact information had been blocked.
The only address she knew for Cameron was here, so she took a chance and hailed a taxi. She hadn’t expected to hear Pearl’s roar at the gate.
Instantly, Milena recalled the sight of Martin being tackled by Pearl. Though terrified, she gritted her teeth and approached the main entrance.
One look into the yard left her stunned-there sat Cameron and Bradley.
She’d thought only Cameron and an old man lived here, not Bradley.
“Why is she here?” Bradley frowned at the sight of Milena.
Cameron followed Bradley’s gaze and saw Milena, her brows also furrowing slightly.
She thought. How dare Milena track me down here? Does she really think I am a pushover?’
Cameron said, “Brad, could you give me a moment? I’ll handle this.”
Bradley stood politely. “Alright.”
Cameron added, “Pearl, go with Brad.”
So Pearl obediently followed Bradley away.
After the bodyguards let Milena in, they wisely disappeared.
Milena lifted her chin and walked in, staring at Cameron in disbelief. “Cameron, you actually live here?”
This place was as luxurious as a palace-Cameron didn’t deserve to live here.
Cameron stared at her expressionlessly, making Milena’s scalp tingle.
Cameron said, “You’ve been seeking me out more and more lately. Do you really want to save your parents that badly?”
Milena shook her head. “No, I’m not here for them.”
Milena wasn’t foolish. Pleading with someone as ruthless as Cameron for Martin and Heidi would be useless and might even backfire.
Milena said, “Cameron, I’ve thought a lot these past days. What Mom and Dad did back then was truly their mistake-they made your life miserable all these years.
“Since they made mistakes, they deserve whatever punishment comes their way.
