Chapter 222
“Dakota.”
Cameron looked at Dakota apologetically.
“Cameron, are you okay?”
She looked at him worriedly. She knew that he was emotional. She figured the recent events must have been a huge blow to him.
“I’m fine.”
Cameron shook his head. His guilt only intensified when he looked at this gentle and kind girl.
“Do you want to look for Ms. Jones? I can accompany you.‘
Dakota bit her lips hard when she sensed Cameron’s guilt.
Regardless of what just happened and his decision, she would stand by him without hesitation.
His eyes turned reddish.
“You silly girl.”
“Cameron, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me…
Cameron was different from usual, so Dakota felt nervous.
“I’m fine.”

He took a deep breath and said solemnly, “I’m not going to find Laura. I just feel…”
“Feel what?” she asked anxiously, worried he was taking things too hard.
“I just feel sorry for you…“/
Cameron paused, finally telling her what was on his mind.
He stayed here not because he couldn’t let go of Laura or wanted to find her.
He only felt sorry for Dakota for letting her go through this with him.
“Ah, you meant this.”
She breathed a sigh of relief once she heard his explanation. She presumed Cameron still couldn’t give up on Laura.
“You’re not angry with me?”
He couldn’t help but be surprised when he saw the tension disappear from her body.
“How could I be angry with you? You’ve confessed to me about your past relationship with Ms. Jones. It’s just…”
“Just what?”
“It’s just that you still love her, right?” Dakota asked, looking into Cameron’s eyes.
This time, she decided to face the truth head–on.
“I…”
Cameron felt very guilty as he looked into her innocent and frank eyes. Heat spread across his back.
He didn’t choose to avoid her question.
After taking a deep breath, he answered, “That’s not the case. I merely have some doubts, and I want
Laura’s answer.
“What about now?” Dakota asked, looking at Cameron.
He chuckled.
“It doesn’t matter anymore.”
“Is it because she said those hurtful words?”
“I think so.”
Cameron gave it some thought before continuing.
“I can’t describe what I’m feeling now. I’m not sad, but I’m relieved. The reason why I persistently want Laura’s answer is because I want to confirm something.
“I want to confirm if what we had seven years ago was genuine. After that, we can continue our lives respectively. She returns to Leving to be the heiress while I stay in Yrando.
“I just didn’t expect that Alan would appear. At first, I thought her family forced her to marry him. I didn’t want to see her live a life not of her choosing. But it seems that I was off the mark again.
“That makes sense. Who else can force her to accept something she doesn’t want? But if this is her choice, it’s fine. After she marries Alan, the Jones and Xander families will join forces, which is ideal for her. As for me, I don’t have to worry about her anymore.”
