Chapter 575 You’re The One I Want
Abigail and Analise stopped trying to convince Cameron. Then, Sean said to him, “Come with me to pick a shop. You should still open the security.company.”
“Huh…” Cameron was a little speechless. Why did he still have to open the security company if he wasn’t going to date anymore?
“Huh what? Are you going to work under Abigail for life? After the company is stable, you can ask the apprentices to teach the newcomers. Then, you can sit back and relax. It’ll take you two years tops.” Sean walked out after he finished speaking.
Analise let out a disappointed sigh as they departed. “And here I thought Cameron found someone good for him.”
“I think it’s quite normal, though. It’s not that easy to find a good girl,” Abigail replied. Cameron was a nice man, but he lacked common sense. Isla’s parents would definitely be worried since he told them that he was going to be a b*dyguard.
“Sigh. I was happy for nothing.” Analise couldn’t help but mumble.
Abigail didn’t know what to say and comforted her, “There’s still a chance. What if that girl won’t give up?”
Analise wasn’t convinced. “Do you think that girl can hold on to him? She’s a top student and has no shortage of men pursuing her.”
“Makes sense. But this might also mean that they aren’t meant to be together.” Abigail didn’t believe that every relationship should have a happy ending. An example would be Howard and Luna, as they broke up after dating for a short while.
“I’m going to the kitchen.” Analise was in a bad mood, and only cooking could help her forget this.
Sean and Cameron were standing outside. He didn’t ask Cameron to start the car to look for shops but instead asked him seriously, “You’re going to let it go just like this? You’re not going to fight for it?”
“You know me. I don’t like to force things,” Cameron answered. While he could invest considerable effort into fostering Abigail and Sean’s relationship, he lacked the energy to focus on his personal affairs.
“Fine. But you should really consider opening a security company. There are many wealthy people in Capitalis. If you make a name for yourself, people will line up to hire you,” Sean replied lightly.
Cameron hummed in agreement and made up his mind. “Then, let’s go ch*ck out the shops.” If this business didn’t work, there could be the next one. He needed to fight for himself at least
once.
“Xavien is capable. That’s why he’s still working with me until now. But you see how busy he is. If I’m not in the office, he has to work late into the night and doesn’t have time for love. You should be grateful that a girl likes you,” Sean said as he asked Cameron to drive.
Cameron recognized that Sean was sincerely expressing his feelings. He believed that if Sean didn’t care about him, he wouldn’t have shared those words. “I’ll run the security company well,” he answered in a low voice.
“I think you can still fight for it. Despite her parents’ disapproval, it’s ultimately about the life you and Isla will build together. Even if they seek financial rea*surance, that’s inconsequential as both Abigail and I are financially secure. There’s no reason for you to feel ashamed,” Sean persisted in his encouragement.
Cameron hummed as they both fell silent.
While he was behind the wheel, his phone rang, prompting him to pick up the call.
Isla shot him a question. “Where are you? I went to L.Moon to look for you, and Alana said you were outside busy with something. Can I come to look for you?”
“I’m busy right now. Didn’t you say you’d be busy the whole day?” His tone still had a hint of laughter.
She was silent for a moment before asking, “Are you planning on giving up on me? I know you don’t like me that much. You’re unhappy because my parents were tough on you, but I told you I could elope with you as long as you chose me!”
“There’s no need to elope. Your parents provided you with the best upbringing and supported you through all these years, even during your time in graduate school. Choosing to leave them for a man—doesn’t that feel like abandoning them? Doesn’t it cause pain?” Cameron’s voice retained a trace of a smile as if the words he spoke didn’t trouble him.
Meanwhile, Sean quietly listened and acknowledged that despite Cameron’s apparent indifference towards his relationships, there was a certain logic in his perspective.
“Then, what should I do? I like you. I fell in love with you at first sight. I want to marry you and be together forever. You don’t want me anymore?” Isla suddenly cried. “I spend so much time just to meet you…”
Cameron was slightly surprised. Did she plan their meeting that night?
“I’ve never liked anyone. But when I saw you, I knew you were the person I was looking for. Cameron, please don’t just give up on me no matter what,” she asked with a sob.
Cameron’s heart melted as he could sense Isla’s genuine happiness when they were together. He couldn’t help but see her as a lovely princess. He accepted her because she genuinely cared for him. If another attractive girl from an ordinary background were to show interest in him, he would still consider her. He had never really thought about the kind of person he should be with,
let alone marriage. “If I ever decide not to pursue this further, I’ll let you know,” he rea*sured her with a gentler tone.
Sean glanced at him. What a fool. She’s said it so clearly, yet he’s not fighting for it.
Isla’s tears flowed even more profusely upon hearing his response. “Cameron, are you truly planning to let go of me?” she questioned amidst her tears.
“That’s not what I meant. You said-”
“Cameron, shut up.” Abigail’s voice suddenly came through the phone.
