Since he couldn’t find Bradley anywhere, he ended up knocking on Cameron’s door.
Once inside, he quickly glanced around Cameron’s room but didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary.
Cameron flashed him a smile. “Goodnight, Gavin.”
Gavin gave her a nod. “Goodnight.”
Cameron closed the door and locked it in one smooth motion.
Bradley heard the noise and came out of the bathroom.
Cameron was just about to say something when, with a click, the lights went out. Bradley had just flipped them off.
Luckily, there was still some light coming in from the balcony, so the room wasn’t totally dark.
“What’s with the lights?’ Cameron thought.
“Brad?” Cameron called softly.
As soon as she spoke, a strong arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her straight into his arms. There was that familiar hint of lemon on him.
“Gavin-” Cameron tried to say, but her words were cut off.
Cameron grabbed onto Bradley’s robe.
Bradley leaned in, his lips capturing hers. “Shh. Just keep going,” he murmured.
Cameron was stunned for a moment.
Somehow, the next thing she knew, they were sprawled out on the soft bed together.
Cameron said helplessly, “Aren’t you tired?”
Bradley’s voice was husky. “Cam, you have no idea how much I’ve missed you this past month.”
Cameron wanted to say something more, but Bradley’s movements swept her up, and soon she couldn’t think straight at all.

The next morning, before anyone else was awake, Bradley slipped out of Cameron’s room, dragging his feet, and quietly made his way back to his own.
After breakfast, despite his reluctance, Bradley still drove back to Steerfall.
Cameron stood there, watching his car as it disappeared into the distance.
Amelia hooked her arm around Cameron’s she “Sweetie, you look like you can’t bear to part with him. Why not just go back to the
Saunders Manor with him?”
Cameron smiled, “Who says I can’t bear to part with him?”
Amelia said, “It’s written all over your face.”
Cameron brushed her hand off and started walking back.
Amelia caught up, linking arms with Cameron. “Cam, you look really radiant today. Guess being in love really suits you.”
Cameron just stared at her, speechless.
Noticing Cameron’s flushed face, Amelia burst laughing. “You’re actually blushing. Cam, you’re such a sweetheart.”
“Cut it out.” Cameron swatted her hand away.
When they got back to the living room, they could hear Gavin getting a lecture.
Levi wore a stern expression. “Gavin, you’re thirty-four already. What, are you planning to stay single forever?”
Jacqueline added, “Gavin, you really need to hurry up. Even your younger brother and sister are already settled.”
Gavin stood stiffly in front of his parents.
For the past month, Gavin had been enjoying a rare stretch of peace and quiet.
After all, everyone had been too busy worrying about Bradley going missing.
But now that Bradley was back, his parents’ attention had snapped right back to him.
Gavin was getting a headache. ‘Was it that I didn’t want to settle down?’ he thought to himself. “I just haven’t met the right person yet.’
As he was thinking this, the image of a delicate, elegant face popped into Gavin’s mind before he even realized it.
Gavin pressed his lips together. “Mom, Dad, just give me a little more time.”
Lance teased, “Gavin, Mom and Dad have given you way more than just a little time. They’ve already given you twelve years.”
Gavin’s forehead was practically pulsing. “Shut up.”
“Lance?” Amelia sat down next to Lance and gave his arm a playful slap.
Lance raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything more.
Cameron finally spoke up for Gavin. “Mom, Dad, you really can’t rush love. These things just have to happen when the time is right.”
Levi gave Cameron a gentle look, but when he turned to Gavin, his eyes immediately turned stern.
“Just because my precious daughter put in a good word for you, I’ll give you one more month. But if you’re still single after that you’ll be going on blind dates every single day,” said Levi.
Gavin pressed his lips together, but in the end, he still nodded. “Alright.”
After leaving the house, Gavin pulled his car over to the curb. He sat there in silence for a long while, lost in thought, before finally picking up his phone and dialing his assistant, Wesley.
“I need you to look into a girl named Britney Watson. Get me everything there is to know about her,” Gavin said.
“Understood, Mr. Yates,” Wesley replied promptly.
Meanwhile, Bradley drove back to the Saunders Manor.
It was almost noon, and the only ones left at home were Beth and Edith. Everyone else had already gone to work.
When Bradley walked in, Beth’s eyes immediately welled up with tears. She rushed over to him. “Brad, you finally decided to come home.”
Bradley gently wrapped his arms around her. “Mom, I’m sorry for making you worry.”
Edith also stood up. “Where on earth have you been these past weeks? You look like you’ve lost a lot of weight.”
Bradley replied, “Grandma, I’m fine. I just went out to get some air and clear my mind.”
Seeing Beth still looking at him with concern, Bradley admitted, “Mom, I’ve gotten all my memories back.”
“What?” Beth was taken aback.
Bradley said, “I’ve remembered all the memories I lost about Cam and me.”
“I’m so sorry,” Beth said, her voice thick with guilt.
Bradley gently shook his head. “Let it go, Mom. It’s all behind us now.”
When word got out that Bradley had come back, everyone in the Saunders family immediately dropped what they were doing and hurried home. To the Saunders family, nothing mattered more than family.
They all sat together in the living room, every gaze locked on Bradley.
When they heard that Bradley had regained his everyone’s expression was different.
Camilla asked, “Brad, are you and Cam Okay?”
Bradley shook his head. “We’re fine.”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Nathan asked, “In that case, your engagement ceremony with Cameron will proceed as scheduled.”
Bradley nodded. “Okay.”
Eddie said, “Brad, this is the best possible outcome.”
For Bradley, getting his memories back truly meant the world to him.
Meanwhile, a Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of Viremont’s most luxurious six-star hotel.
