Chapter 5
Cameron seemed to notice the change in my attitude that day, and for the first time ever, he came to pick me up after work.
I felt a little surprised when I saw the familiar Maybach car downstairs of the company.
He got in the car and handed me a bouquet of red roses, looking a bit guilty.
“Today, Ryleigh and I really just took a family photo. She is currently without any family, and her only wish is to have a family photo. I am just fulfilling her wish, so please don’t take it to heart.”
I didn’t show it on my face, but inside, I laughed coldly.
What kind of family portrait, dressed coolly and with an intimate posture?
“In order to apologize to you, I treated you to a meal. A new Thai restaurant opened in the city center, and I had been there before. The taste was really good.”
He opened his mouth eagerly, carefully observing my reaction.
Upon hearing his words, I sighed.
He forgot that I was allergic to lemongrass.
“No need, just take me home.”
I was exhausted and declined his proposal.
Cameron’s face turned ugly, and he angrily slammed the steering wheel.
“Are you fucking done yet? Let me tell you, if you don’t go with me to eat, there are plenty of people who will accompany me.”
He made a phone call to Ryleigh right in front of me, while speaking.
Listening to the two of them agreeing to go out for dinner together, I felt bored.
Three days later, I was going to get married. It didn’t matter to me what Cameron was going to do or who he was going to do it with.
In the end, I did not take Cameron’s car home..
While lying in bed and scrolling through my phone, I suddenly came across Ryleigh’s recent Instagram post.
“Others just said a few words to me, and he started fighting with them. How old is he? He acts like a child.”
The accompanying image depicts Cameron’s back view, sitting in the interrogation room at the
police station.
Seeing this, I couldn’t help but grip my phone tightly.
I remembered when Cameron and I were eating out before, there was a man who was verbally harassing me, but he seemed to be oblivious and just focused on his own meal.
Even when I cried and poured out my grievances, he impatiently blamed me.
“If you hadn’t worn such a short skirt, how could they have harassed you? Can’t you! from yourself?”
After that, I never wore a skirt again.
With this in mind, I took out my phone and snapped a photo of the little red book.
I edited a post and immediately posted it.
“Please guide me in the remaining years to come.”
Just less than a minute after I posted on my Instagram, Cameron called me.
I was stunned for a moment when I saw the note on my phone.
The hand holding the suitcase tightened instantly.
“Tess, what the hell is that thing you posted on your Instagram? Delete it right away.”
“Are you mad at me for taking photos with Ryleigh here?”
He seemed to feel that he had hit the mark, with a hint of helplessness in his tone..
the reason
“Didn’t I already explain everything to you? Why are you still making a fuss about it? Our WhatsApp contacts are all acquaintances, can you please stop embarrassing us in front of them?”
“Can you please stop making people misunderstand with all those posts you shared on your Instagram these past few days? Don’t embarrass yourself anymore, okay?”
I tightly clenched the hand holding the phone, and the last glimmer of hope in my heart was completely shattered.
Originally, he called me just to ask me to delete his post on my social media.
I used to have illusions, thinking that he would ask me who I would marry. It’s really ridiculous.
I took a deep breath and said coldly.
The fact that I am getting married is true, however, the groom is not you.”
Cameron was instantly stunned, there was no response from the other end of the phone.
Just as I was about to hang up, he shouted in disbelief.
Impossible, who else could you marry besides me?”
I chuckled at myself and promptly hung up the phone without any hesitation.
Blocked and deleted, after a series of actions were completed, I was already physically and mentally exhausted.
Ever since I was with Cameron, I completely lost myself.
