“Eddie,” Bradley said, sliding a plate of oysters over, “have a try.”
Eddie looked at Bradley and, seeing the frown on Bradley’s face, knew right away he’d said something he shouldn’t have.
Eddie quickly steered the conversation away from it. “The food here is actually really good.”
Cameron nodded. “Yeah, it’s pretty nice.”
Eddie raised his glass. “Cameron Wallace-or should I call you Cameron Yates now? Congrats on developing the wonder drug for leukemia.”
Cameron lifted her cup of soft drink. “Thanks.”
And just like that, the previous subject was dropped./
Eddie had come to Viremont mainly just to see Cameron and Bradley.
After lunch, Eddie headed back to Steerfall.
Before leaving, Eddie patted Bradley on the shoulder. “Brad, be good to Cameron.”
Bradley nodded. “I will,”
Now that he could finally be with her aboveboard, there was no way he’d ever let go.
After finishing speaking, Eddie left, and Bradley drove Cameron back to Aurevia Biotech,
On the way, Cameron commented without ceremony, “Eddie’s really changed a lot.”
For someone to turn their whole life around like that, they must’ve gone through something unusual.
Bradley nodded. “Yeah, he looks really different than he was a few years ago.”
Cameron turned her head to look out the window, watching the scenery recede into the distance.
As time flew, she was no longer the girl who had just experienced world-hopping.
Bradley asked, “Cam, do you want to know why?”
Cameron was also curious. “Why?”
As he drove, Bradley gave Cameron a quick rundown of what had happened.
Cameron fell silent. She really didn’t know what to say after hearing all that.
Honestly, things turned out pretty well in the end.
Eddie couldn’t just keep messing around forever. He was only a year older than Bradley, still young with a chance to turn over a new leaf.
As Bradley pulled the car up outside the building of Aurevia Biotech, Cameron immediately reached for her safety belt, ready to get out.
But Bradley gently held her hand. “Cam, wait a second.”
“What?” Cameron turned to look at him.
Bradley said, “I picked out some gifts for your family this morning, but I’m uncertain if they’re their style. Could you take a look and give advice? If you don’t think they’re a good fit, I still have time this afternoon to go select something else.”
Cameron looked at Bradley in surprise. “Brad, it’s just dinner, you really don’t have to make such a big deal out of it.
‘Besides, my parents and brothers have already met you. No need to act like it’s your first time visiting them. She wondered.
Bradley gently took her hand and said softly, “Cam, I know it’s just a meal, but I still want to show my sincerity and proper manners.”
Getting out of the car with Cameron, Bradley walked over and popped open the trunk. Cameron’s eyes widened when she saw the trunk packed full of gifts.
“So many?” Cameron blurted out in surprise.
Bradley just smiled and said, “Not many at all.”
‘The trunk is just too small, that’s all,’ Bradley thought to himself. ‘So I didn’t buy many gifts.”
Cameron tugged at Bradley’s sleeve. “Brad, it’s already more than enough. You really don’t need to buy anything else.”
Bradley just smiled, “Alright.”
But later that afternoon, when Cameron slid into the front passenger seat, out of the corner of her eye she saw the back seat piled high with gifts.
Cameron didn’t know what to say now, not expecting Bradley’d have gone on another shopping spree that afternoon.
Even though she felt a bit helpless, Cameron couldn’t help but feel warm.
Bradley’s love for her extended to her family, so she believed she didn’t misjudge him, who always made her feel so at ease.
Noticing Cameron staring at the back seat, Bradley reached over and gently ruffled her hair. “The car’s too small. I’ll get a bigger one in a couple of days.
Cameron finally looked away and smiled, “No need, this car is fine.”
Bradley chuckled, “Alright, then I won’t change it.”
Cameron raised an eyebrow. “Why do you obey me without question?”
Bradley smiled, “I have to listen to my future wife, after all.”
Cameron’s lips curved into a smile, but she didn’t say anything/
Bradley started the car, and after about ten minutes, they pulled up at Yates Manor. Cameron and Bradley got out of the car together.
Levi and Jacqueline were already at the door waiting for them, but Levi still looked a bit stern, while Jacqueline walked towards them with a big smile.
“Cam, Brad, good evening!” Jacqueline greeted them warmly.
“Hello, Mrs. Yates,” Bradley said politely, nodding.
Cameron opened the passenger door and said, “Mom, could you have someone help us bring these in?”
“What things?” Jacqueline asked, peering inside the car.
Her eyes widened when she saw the back seat packed with luxury gifts.
Jacqueline let out a helpless sigh. “Brad, I’m already glad to see you here. You really didn’t have to bring all these gifts-that’s very kind of you!”
She quickly waved someone over to help carry everything inside.
Hearing the commotion, Gavin, Lance, and Amelia also came out to see what was happening.
Lance and Amelia hadn’t held their wedding, yet, but they were already legally married and almost glued to each other every day, either hanging out at Yates Manor, the Chapman family’s house, or at Lance’s place.
Today, Jacqueline had specifically asked them to come back for dinner.
The servants carefully carried all the gifts from the back seat of the car into the living room before Bradley popped open the trunk
Jacqueline’s eyes widened in surprise. “There’re even more in the trunk? Brad, you really didn’t have to go to all this trouble!”
Bradley took Cameron’s hand and said, “Mrs. Yates, it’s not troublesome at all. It’s just a token of my regard.”
Hearing this, Levi finally couldn’t hold it back and walked over with a smile. “Brad, it’s clear you’ve put a lot of thought into this.”
Seeing how well Bradley treated his precious daughter, Levi also couldn’t help but feel genuinely happy, so there was no need to keep up the stern act anymore.
‘As long as Bradley truly cares for my sweetheart and they’re happy together, that’s all I could ever ask for, Levi thought to himself.
Gavin watched the servants going in and out, his brow furrowing. “Are we throwing a party or something?”
Lance, holding Amelia’s hand, grinned, “Gavin, when you go visit your future wife’s family, you’ll be just as gallant.”
Gavin’s face darkened. “And where exactly is my wife? Are you going to pick one for me?”
Lance kept quiet.
Amelia couldn’t help but tease with a smile. “Gavin, want me to set you up with some pretty girls?”
Gavin said coldly, “Not necessary.”
‘There are plenty of single people in the world-it’s not like I’m the only one.’ He thought to himself.
With that, Gavin walked over to greet Cameron and Bradley.
Lance held Amelia in his arms and said, “Look, he’s getting flustered,”
Amelia couldn’t help but laugh. Then they also walked over to join Cameron and the others.
