Chapter 557 Call Me Abigail
Cameron returned to Analise’s side and took the shopping bags from her. He then exclaimed. in shock, “I almost had to pay for it. Thank God I reacted quickly!”
Analise patted her ch*st and said, “You and your nonsense. Stop causing trouble, and let’s go
back!”
The duo walked away.
The girl placed her phone against her ch*st and lowered her gaze to look at it. Then, she looked longingly at Cameron’s figure. She felt a mix of happiness and sadness.
After returning to L.Moon, Analise sat on the couch and told Abigail about the incident while. Sean changed his clothes in Abigail’s room. “Cameron was babbling, and he nearly broke someone’s phone.”
Although Abigail thought Cameron’s story might not be entirely false, she didn’t say it aloud. She glanced at Cameron before rea*suring Analise, “Don’t worry. It’s not like I can’t afford it.”
“Do you think having money makes you invincible? Regardless of how much you have, thrift is a virtue!” Analise scolded Abigail sternly.
Abigail could only admit her mistake. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t be so extravagant.”
“Oh, I’m getting tired easily now that I’m old. I’m going to bed now. Be safe when you and Sean go out to eat,” Analise said as she ma*saged her shoulder and headed to her room.
“Alright. Rest well, Grandma,” Abigail replied as she followed Analise into her room.
Once the door closed, Analise took Abigail’s hand and said, “Be good to Cameron. Although he’s always joking around and making others happy, he also needs someone to care for him.”
I know, Cameron lost an eye for me, so I’ll protect him for the rest of my life. He’s like a brother to me,” Abigail said. She knew Cameron wanted to be understood when he told Analise his past. She felt like Cameron was like a clown who always brought happiness to others while hiding his own sorrows.
“Cameron had a tough life. Hearing him talk about those things breaks my heart.” Analise said as tears filled her eyes.
He no longer has to live a hard life now that he’s with us Abigail hugged Analise
“Alright Analise said sulkily
Abigail came out of the room and saw Cameron playing a mobile game on the couch. She

walked over and sat next to him, looking at the game he was playing.
“What’s wrong?” Cameron noticed her and was about to stand up.
Abigail held him back and said, “Work for me from now on. You don’t need to go. Sean. How about I give you a monthly allowance of 15 thousand?”

“Did Old Mrs. Quinn tell you about the story I made up? Don’t tell me you believe it and feel. pity for me.”
“Cameron, do you treat me as a boss or a close friend?” Abigail asked him.
Looking at her sharp gaze, Cameron hesitated for a while before replying softly, “I know I don’t deserve it, but being with Old Mrs. Quinn reminds me of my grandma. She also loved. making pasta and arancini. It was the happiest time during the few years I spent living with her. She was known as the ‘tough shovel lady.”
At that moment, Abigail finally understood that the nickname had a special meaning. “My grandma is yours as well. You can call her Grandma.” Abigail smiled at him.
Cameron, sitting on the couch like a big dog, kept his head down for a while before. whispering, “I never thought that one day, I would suddenly remember my grandma and miss her so much. I hadn’t thought about her in over a decade. Humans are strange
creatures.”
“It’s not strange at all. After all, she’s the person you loved the most,” Abigail said as she gently patted his head. “Don’t be sad.”
Cameron looked up at her and smiled happily. “Alright. Thanks, Abigail.”
“What’s with the address? Just call me Abigail.” Abigail joked.
“I wouldn’t dare. If Mr. Graham finds out about this, he would be furious,” Cameron said. Despite his words, he felt like the happiest person today. For several years after transitioning from a special forces soldier to an ordinary person, he didn’t know the purpose of living. When he saw someone recruiting b*dyguards, a job where one could make a lot of money with their life at risk, he applied for it. He couldn’t find the meaning of life, so he was always ready to sacrifice his life for Sean. That was how he had spent the later part of his life.
“Didn’t you say that I come first while he comes second?” Abigail asked with a smile.
Cameron was taken aback. “Do you really believe that?”
“I’m a naive person,” Abigail replied with a grin.
When Sean walked out of her room, he looked at Cameron with a stern face. “Just say it if you want Abigail to be good to you, rather than playing the sympathy card by revealing your

backstory. You’re getting more and more devious.”
Cameron chuckled and replied, “Can I follow Abigail for the rest of my life, Sean?”
“At this age, you’re not suitable to be with me either. Plus, you’ve lost one eye. I guess it’s time for you to retire and enjoy life,” Sean said honestly.
“Watch your words, Sean. Cameron is only in his thirties. Why do you make him sound so old and withered?” Abigail glared at Sean and defended Cameron.
money, but
However, Sean remained stern. “I’m being serious. I’m considering his well-being. Cameron’s job is suitable for youngsters who are just starting out and want to earn a lot of they have to risk their lives. He’s lucky that he’s still alive. His grandma must be watching. over him.”
Sean’s words deeply touched Cameron.
Most of the time, people were in unfortunate circumstances. However, when happiness arrived, it came like waves crashing on the shore.
