Chapter 62
Aquarine Residence was a typical residential area.
It was also where Dakota’s family lived.
Walking down the narrow corridor, Dakota grew slightly embarrassed. “I’m sorry. My family sold the villa, so we temporarily moved back here…”
“It’s okay.” Cameron smiled gently. But he secretly furrowed his brows.
He knew that the Jennings family was facing some difficulties, but he had underestimated the severity of their situation. It seemed that his previous help was not enough.
“We’re here.” While he was deep in thought, Dakota’s melodious voice rang out.
Cameron snapped back to reality and stared at the door in front of him. No. 302 was written on it.
“Please be prepared, Cameron. My aunt has a very short temper,” Dakota warned.
After that, she took a deep breath and took out the house key from her bag.
“You kept us waiting, Dakota!” As expected, Florence stomped out of the house when she heard the
door opening. Her curly hair and floral dress bounced with every step.
When she saw Cameron, her eyes widened into the size of a saucer. “Who’s that, Dakota? Willie is still here. How can you bring a man home?”
Dakota instantly frowned at this. What did Florence mean by that?
However, considering that Florence was her elder, Dakota bit down her annoyance and explained, ” Aunt Florence, this is Cameron, my current boyfriend.”
“What? Your boyfriend? Do you want me to have a heart attack?” Florence was on the verge of fainting. She yelled at Dakota sternly, “You know Willie is here! How can you pull a stunt like this?”
“I told you I don’t like him, Aunt Florence. And I also have the right to pursue my happiness,” Dakota
argued.
“You!” Florence gritted her teeth.
“That’s enough, Florence. Let Dakota in first, then we’ll talk,” Dakota’s parents, who heard the commotion at the door, spoke up.
“Get in!” Florence folded her arms and rolled her eyes.
“Sorry about that.” Dakota smiled bitterly at Cameron.
Her aunt, Florence, had always been a domineering individual.
“It’s okay.” Cameron smiled.
The two entered the living room.

“Hello, Dad, Mom,” Dakota greeted her parents who were sitting in the living room.
“Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Jennings.” Cameron also politely greeted the two.
This was his first time meeting Dakota’s parents.
Dakota’s father, Leonard, was wearing a suit and looked very stern. While, her mother, Jane, was wearing a light blue dress and looked especially elegant.
“Hello, young man.” Leonard smiled.
“Sorry, the house is a bit crowded. Please bear with it.” Jane also expressed her apologies.
“Not at all, Mr. and Mrs. Jennings.” Cameron shook his head.
Leonard and Jane seemed to be gentle people. All of a sudden, Cameron felt awkwardness creeping up
to him.
“So, you’re Dakota’s boyfriend.” Charlie, Dakota’s uncle, suddenly piped up from the side. He didn’t look very welcoming.
“That’s right, sir,” Cameron answered.
“What do you do for a living? How much do you earn per month? The Jennings family has standards when it comes to our in–laws.” Charlie went straight to the point.
“I don’t actually work,” Cameron thought about it and replied. He wasn’t exactly lying. It wasn’t as if he had to work with his current position.
“You don’t work? Doesn’t that mean you’re unemployed?” Charlie widened his eyes in disbelief. He shot Dakota a stern look. “Dakota, how could you be with an unemployed man? Don’t you know our family is deep in debt? Why would you find another mouth to feed?”
“Uncle Charlie! Don’t talk about Cameron like that!” Dakota retorted angrily.
Cameron was a guest! How could Charlie be so rude as to say such a thing to his face?
“Hmph! I’m just telling the damn truth!” Charlie huffed and turned to the man at his side. Although the man was wearing a suit, his skinny figure did not complement well with his attire. “Look at your boyfriend! And look at who I’m introducing to you! Mr. Ziegler comes from a rich family and is an educated man! Better yet, he is already working as a manager at Darth Holdings!”
“Besides, Willie had purposefully taken the day off to meet you! But look at what you’re doing! Hurry up and greet him, Dakota! Stop being rude!”
