Chapter 61
Dakota’s expression had turned ugly, but she still answered the phone.
“Sorry, I’m busy.” After just a few seconds, Dakota hung up the phone.
However, her phone rang again. This time, it was her aunt calling.
She answered the phone again. “I’ve already told you. I don’t want to meet him.”
“What are you talking about, Dakota? I’m just looking out for you and your family. Don’t you understand the situation your family is in? Willie has already arrived at your house. Your uncle and I are also here. Hurry up and come home. Don’t keep us waiting!”
“You…” The call ended before Dakota could finish her words.
Dakota sighed heavily. It seemed that she had no choice but to go home.
“What happened?” Cameron asked with concern.
“It’s my aunt,” Dakota said helplessly. “She’s trying to set me up with someone for a blind date…”
“A blind date?” Cameron cocked a brow.
“Yes.” Dakota nodded. She was afraid that Cameron might misunderstand and quickly explained, ‘ My family is currently facing some difficulties, and we are in dire need of money. In order to save the family business, my aunt and uncle are setting me up with a wealthy man. But I didn’t like him, so I refused. Yet my aunt keeps trying to set me up every few days. There’s nothing I could say to change
her mind…”
“I understand.” Cameron took a deep breath. “You don’t want him to keep bothering you, right?”
“Yes.” Dakota nodded.
“Then I’ll accompany you home,” Cameron suggested.
“Really?” Dakota widened her eyes in joy. However, she quickly realized a problem. “But how should I
introduce you…”

She wouldn’t be able to reject the other men’s advances if she introduced Cameron as her friend.
Cameron had already thought up a good plan. “If you don’t mind, I can pretend to be your boyfriend.”
A pretend boyfriend?
Dakota’s heart skipped a beat. Although it was just pretending, she couldn’t calm her racing heart.
“Sure.” Dakota nodded and bit her lip. “Sorry for the trouble…”
“It’s not troublesome at all. After all, it’s what friends should do.” Cameron smiled and turned to the crystal sculpture. He cocked a brow. “Well… should we put this sculpture at your place or mine?”
Dakota blushed slightly at the question. “Let’s leave it at your place. I don’t think it can fit into my

house.”
“Okay, I’ll have someone move it to my house. Let me know when you want to come over and look at it,” Cameron said. However, he realized his words might be ambiguous and quickly added, “I didn’t mean it that way…”
“I know.” Dakota pursed her lips.
She knew that Cameron was not that kind of person.
“Haha. I’m glad you didn’t misunderstand. Shall we go?” Cameron quickly changed the subject.
“Okay.” Dakota nodded.
At that moment, she suddenly felt a special connection between her and Cameron…
