“You’re a good one, kid,” Ryan praised.
Cameron chatted with him for a bit and then hung up.
That wrapped things up here. She needed to get back to the castle to check on Pearl.
She hadn’t been home in a week, and she really missed Pearl.
Cameron walked for a bit before finally making it out of the villa area and onto the main road.
She was just about to flag down a cab when her phone rang-it was Bradley calling
“Brad, Cameron answered.
“You’re not home yet? Where are you?” Bradley asked
Cameron glanced at the dazzling neon lights on the street. “I had something to take care of, so I’m still out. I’ll be back soon. Did you already get home?”
Bradley replied, “I just got back. Where are you? Want me to come pick you up?”
“No need, I can just grab a cab myself,” Cameron replied.
“Send me your location. I’ll come get you,” he insisted.
Cameron knew all too well-if Bradley repeated himself, there was no changing his mind.
She had no choice but to give him her address.
“Alright, wait for me,” Bradley said.
While waiting for Bradley, Cameron bought herself a cup of smoothie and picked one up for him too.
About forty minutes later, a black Mercedes pulled up in front of her.
Cameron opened the door, got in, and handed the smoothie to Bradley. “Here you go.”
Bradley took it and asked, “Smoothie?”
Cameron nodded. “Yeah, ‘s pretty good.”
Seeing his slightly odd expression, Cameron asked, “Not a fan?”
“i don’t really drink this stuff,” Bradley replied.
Cameron took her hand back “Then I have it.”
But Bradley held onto it. “I don’t mind trying something new once in a while
Cameron rolled her eyes.
Bradley took a sip and commented, “It’s a bit sweet”
Cameron said, “I think it’s just right”
Bradley glanced at her. “Cameron, I’ve noticed you really have a sweet tooth.”
Bradley thought, “Cameron seems to have a thing for such drinks and cakes. Sweets are usually more of a girl thing. Guys don’t really go for them.”
Cameron nodded. “Yeah, I really like them,”
Bradley took a few sips and then set his drink aside. It was just too sweet for him.
He then started the car.
Cameron turned her head to watch the neon lights streaming past the window, sinking into the seat in a totally relaxed pose.
Bradley caught a glimpse of Cameron and couldn’t help but smile.
By the time the car rolled smoothly into the castle courtyard, Cameron was already fast asleep against the seat.
Bradley turned off the engine and just sat quietly beside Cameron, not wanting to wake her up.
Pearl caught Cameron’s scent and started circling the car
The noise woke Cameron up. She rubbed her face and murmured, “Did I fall asleep?”
She didn’t realize she was really that tired.
Bradley said, “You’re exhausted.”
Cameron didn’t really feel that tired. She figured maybe she just got too comfortable in the car, so she dared off.
As soon as Cameron opened the car door, Pearl came bounding over, its tail wagging with excitement
Cameron grabbed its front paws and grinned, “Pearl, it’s been a while.”
Pearl happily nuzzled her arm with its head.
Brady got out of the car too, smiling as he watched Cameron and Pevul together.
Elijah went back home. The dining room was lit up as bright as day.
The long white table was filled with delicious dishes, but Elijah sat there by himself. On one side of the table, a group of maids and the butler stood waiting to sen
His dad was busy with business dinners and hadn’t come home.
His mom was a top-notch doctor, and she had surgery tonight, so she wasn’t back either,
In this huge villa, there wasn’t a single person to eat dinner with him.
That all-too-familiar loneliness crept over jah’s heart again.
Jack noticed Elijah hadn’t eaten and stepped forward a little. “Sir, is the food not to your liking tonight?”
Jack thought, ‘All these dishes are his favorites. He hasn’t been home for a week. He should have a good appetite.
Elijah didn’t say a word. He picked up a piece of steak, put it in his mouth, chewed, then set down his fork. “I’m done.”
He got up and let the dining room.
Jack thought in confusion, she in a bad mood?!
Elijah went back to his room. His bedroom was massive-easily as large as the house of ordinary people.
He sat on the sofa, staring at the empty room. Right now, he didn’t even feel like doing practice problems. That used to be his favorite thing.
He wondered, “Where’s Cameron right now? What’s he up to?’
Elijah got up, walked over to his desk, and opened his math workbook. After searching for a bit, he finally found a tough problem
He snapped a picture of it and sent Cameron a message. Cameron, what are you doing? Can I ask you about a math problem!
But he got no reply. Elijah kept grabbing his phone his eyes glued to their chat window.
Five minutes passed, ten minutes, and soon, half an hour passed, he still got no response from Cameron.
Elijah’s heart was in his throat. He mused, ‘Did something happen to Cameron?’
He couldn’t wait any longer and called Carperan directly.
Cameron was having dinner with Bradley when he received the call from Elijah.
The table was packed with delicious food, and Cameron’s mouth was stready watering. Pearl was lying culety at her
Hearing the ringtone, Cameron pulled out her phone and met Bradley’s curious gare. “It’s Fijah,” she said.
Bradley gave a slight hod.
Cameron Answered. “Hey, Ell.”
“Cameris, are you okay?” Elijah asked, sounding really anxious.
“I’m fine. What’s wrong?” Cameron replied, a little confused.
She wondered, ‘Why does Elijah sound so worked up? What’s going on?’
Hearing how calm Cameron was, Elijah finally relaxed. “As long as you’re okay.”
“I’m okay. What’s up?” Cameron asked.
