Chapter 7
Chapter 7 “Sorry, let me answer this call real quick,” Dakota said apologetically to Cameron.
“Alright.” Cameron smiled at her.
Dakota then answered the call. Madison’s voice rang out from the other end. “What took you so long to answer, Dakota?” “Huh? Did you call me earlier?” Dakota asked, surprised.
“Yeah, | did. Several times too.”
Dakota checked her call history and sure enough, she had a couple of missed calls from Madison.
Dakota said apologetically, “Sorry, | must've been too busy and forgot to answer.”
“| knew you were busy with work.”
“How'd you know?”
“Don’t | know you best? Have you finished your work?”
“Mhm. What's up, Maddy?”
“Oh, nothing much. | just wanted to let you know | got a divorce,” Madison answered.
“Divorce? Why a divorce all of a sudden?”
“Ugh. | was blind to have gotten together with that man. | treated him so well yet he cheated on me in spirit!” “Cheated in spirit?”
“This is what happened...” Madison then explained the fake love letters situation to Dakota, claiming Cameron not only used all her resources but even demanded at least a million dollars of allowance every month. Madison divorced him because she'd had enough.
“That guy is just terrible!” Dakota cried angrily after hearing Madison's explanation, not knowing the truth of the matter at all.
“Forget it. It's in the past now. | just wanted to vent a little. Anyway, after all that I’ve suffered, I’ve finally gotten something good in my life now in the form of Mr. Price.”
“Then | really must congratulate you,” Dakota said.
“By the way, Dakota, do you still remember the pink hair bow each of us bought when we were kids?”
“Of course | do. Why?” Dakota asked.
“| just felt nostalgic when | saw mine while cleaning things up today. It’s a token of our friendship after all!” “That it is. I’ve kept that bow all this time too!” Dakota said with a hint of guilt.novelbin
Dakota had lost her bow when she was a child. She just never told Madison because she was worried Madison would be angry with her.
Madison's worries disappeared upon hearing Dakota’s answer. Looks like Cameron didn’t cheat on her with her best friend. Madison trusted Dakota after all.
Plus, no way would Dakota have eyes for someone like Cameron!
“That’s all | wanted to talk to you about, Dakota. | won't bother you further.”
“Alright, Maddy. Don’t be sad, okay? I'll always be by your side,” Dakota said encouragingly. “Okay.” Madison then hung up the call.
Cameron's heart dipped in his chest. They had mentioned the hair bow during the call!
Sure enough, Dakota Jennings was the young girl Cameron met 15 years ago!
Cameron was trembling with emotion.
“Are you okay?” Dakota asked in surprise, seeing how excited Cameron suddenly looked. “I'm fine... | just recalled something. Was that your friend over the phone?”
“Mhm. That was my best friend. She just got divorced,” Dakota said without hiding anything. “Divorced?” Cameron pretended not to know what happened.
“Yeah. That man was so mean to her!” Dakota felt angry just talking about it.
“Hm...” Cameron’s mouth twitched. “Mind telling me just how mean he was?”
“Well...” Dakota then told Cameron everything that Madison had told her earlier. She got angrier the more she spoke. “Who knew a bastard like him would exist in this world? Not only did he leech off of her, he even cheated on her in spirit!”
“Heh, yeah...” Cameron responded awkwardly. Could he tell Dakota that that ‘bastard’ was himself?
But Madison had clearly slandered him.Regarding the love letters, Madison might have misunderstood the situation. But the story about Cameron asking for a million dollars from her every month? That was an utter lie.
It was clear that Madison only slandered him so she could hide the fact that she’d cheated on him.
Dakota was oblivious to all this. As she looked at Cameron, she said, “You agree, right? If | met a man that did something so terrible, I'd be sure to... in his sleep.”
“Be sure to what?” Cameron asked, feeling uneasy. Dakota then made a snipping motion with her fingers. “Heh... there’s no need to be that violent, right?” Cameron asked. His crotch suddenly felt chilly.
Dakota then said awkwardly, “Well... | won’t actually do that. | was just really angry. If only all the men in the world were like you.”
“Oh, really...” Cameron chuckled awkwardly.
“Why, of course!” Dakota said with a tinge of pride as she thought Cameron was being humble.
“By the way, | still don’t know your name. Maddy’s call interrupted you earlier,” she added.
“Hm, well... why don’t you just call me Mr. Morgan for the time being?”
Cameron decided to not reveal his identity first. He didn’t want to be ‘snipped’ by Dakota.
“You really are funny,” Dakota said with a grin as she gazed at Cameron.
Dakota felt like he was somehow different from all the other men she'd met in her life.
“Then I'll just call you Mr. Morgan.”
Dakota chatted with Cameron some more. Only when her father called her number did she finally bid him farewell.
“This is my contact, Mr. Morgan. | enjoyed our time together today. Let’s meet up again soon,” Dakota said longingly to Cameron by the cafe door.
“Me too. Until next time.” Cameron smiled warmly. “lll be off then,” Dakota said. She then drove off in her BMW 320i. Cameron watched it leave.
He could tell from their conversation earlier that Dakota was a positive and righteous woman. Cameron just wasn’t sure what Dakota would think of him if she found out he was the pervert Madison told her about.
Hopefully Dakota didn’t actually snip his... Cameron shook his head with a faint smile on his face.
But Cameron believed this misunderstanding was bound to be unraveled some day. There were more important things he had to get done before then.
Cameron needed to return to the villa to get the hair bow. If Madison wasn’t its owner, then she didn’t deserve to keep it.
