Dakota’s cheeks flushed with heat. She knew that her mother had misunderstood the situation.
However, she was certain that explaining to her would only make things worse.
“Mom, I’ll send Cameron home first.” Dakota looked down and was about to leave with Cameron.
“Dakota, why don’t you and Cam have breakfast before you go? I made pumpkin congee. It’s healthy,
”
said Jane, looking at the two of them with a gentle smile.
“It’s okay, Mom. Cameron has something urgent to attend to and needs to go back now.” Dakota
made up an excuse.
“Alright, just remember to have breakfast later,” Jane said.
“Sure, Mom.”
“Be safe on the road and drive slowly. And Cam, feel free to visit often,” Jane added.
“Sure, Jane. Well, we will be going now,” Cameron replied.
“Okay.”
“Phew,” Dakota drew a deep breath once she got into the car. She finally escaped her mother’s watchful eyes.
However, the thought of what just happened made her cheeks heat up once again.
“Cameron, where do you live?” Dakota didn’t dare to look at Cameron as she asked.
“Just send me back to Azure Residence,” Cameron replied, not daring to make eye contact with
Dakota.
“Alright.” Dakota nodded. She then started the car and headed towards Azure Residence.
Throughout the journey, the atmosphere inside the car was quiet. Neither of them spoke.
Dakota’s palms were slightly sweaty as she held the steering wheel. She wanted to say something, but the words stuck in her throat.
Cameron was going through the same ordeal. Clearly, he also wanted to explain the situation to Dakota, but he was afraid of being misunderstood.
Hence, the silence lasted for half an hour until they arrived at Azure Residence.
Cameron moved slightly.
Dakota also took a deep breath and decided to talk about what happened earlier.
“About what happened this morning…” the two of them spoke at the same time.

“You can go first.”
“Alright, I will go first.”
“Um, Dakota, I think I will let you start first,” said Cameron awkwardly.
“Cameron, about what happened this morning…” Dakota lowered her head,
Her face turned into a grimace as she spoke, “About what happened this morning, I hope you don’t mind. I didn’t realize that I moved a lot when I slept…”
“I hope you don’t mind as well. At that moment… I… I have no intention of taking advantage of you…
Cameron finally said what he had been thinking.
“Haha!” Unexpectedly, Dakota laughed upon hearing this. All her worries disappeared following Cameron’s explanation.
“Um… Dakota, what are you laughing about?” Cameron felt more awkward now.
“Nothing. I just think that you’re silly,” Dakota teased him. She recalled how she was calling him silly last night.
“Why? Why am I silly now?” Cameron scratched his head and couldn’t quite understand what Dakota
meant.
“Alright. It’s nothing. As long as the misunderstanding is clear.” Dakota cheerfully clapped her hands. Her mood lightened up.
Cameron also sighed in relief.
After all, when Dakota opened her eyes, he was looking straight into her eyes, looking like some pervert who was trying to take advantage of her.
Fortunately, Dakota didn’t interpret it that way.
“Dakota, I will leave first. Thanks for sending me back.” Cameron unfastened his seatbelt.
“Don’t be so polite with me. Oh right, Cameron, do you want to go to the airport with me tomorrow?” asked Dakota.
“To see Laura?” asked Cameron.
“Yes. But it’s going to be crowded and we probably can’t get to the front. But it’s enough to just see her from afar,” said Dakota.
“Alright, got it. See you tomorrow at the airport,” Cameron accepted the invite.
He didn’t want to reject Dakota.
“Alright, perfect! See you tomorrow at the airport. Bye!” said Dakota.
“Bye!” Cameron got out of the car and went into Azure Residence.

Dakota drove away soon after. On the way back, she was feeling joyful and couldn’t stop humming random tunes.
On the other hand, Cameron, once he was inside his residence, gave a call to Lord Blackheart.
“Sir, is there anything I can help you with?” asked Lord Blackheart.
“Blackheart, get a seat nearest to the airport for me. I need it tomorrow morning,” said Cameron.
“Sir, are you going to meet Laura?” Lord Blackheart was surprised. Had Cameron changed his mind?
“Nope. Dakota wants to see her,” said Cameron.
“Got it, sir. I will make arrangements!” said Lord Blackheart.
“Alright,” Cameron then hung up the call.
However, what Lord Blackheart said earlier reminded him of Laura. He thought about that scene from
seven years ago. It was at dusk.
In an instant, his gaze turned cold.
