Chapter 596 Too Handsome
Abigail listened quietly. Meanwhile, Cameron was touched hearing that. A tearful Isla sniffled and held Cameron’s hand.
“You have a point, but he’s still not a good match for our daughter, Houston commented, a little. more polite now. He didn’t want to fight Sean.
Sean looked at him coolly. “We only brought her back so you can rethink your decision. I see you have made your decision. We’re leaving” He stood up and looked at Isla. “This is your problem. You make the decision.”
Isla held Cameron’s hand tightly and looked straight at her parents, “Thank you for raising me all these years, but I’m not an extension of your lives. I am not your property. Fam nearly twenty-six years old. I have a mind of my own and dreams of my own too. I have things I must do He’s the man I chose to be with. No matter what happens in the future, I will take it in stride.”
Abigail agreed with that. After all, every decision came with its own consequences. If the children could understand that, there was no need for their parents to butt in.
Lila’s eyes reddened, and she pointed at Isla. “You traitor! After all we did to raise you into an adult, you’re marrying someone inferior?”
Cameron didn’t bother hiding his true self anymore. He wiped off his smile and looked at the Stevens couple with his one good eye. After working for Sean for so long, he had built up his own aura, and he was like a sharp blade ready to kill. “Inferior? I promised you I’d open up a security firm, work hard, and make sure she doesn’t have to worry about life. I’m not a lazy person, and I’m not someone who can’t make money. I used to be in special forces, and I’ve gained a ton of glory working for Mr. Graham. I’ll tell the public I’m resigning, and there’ll be a ton of people willing to hire me. How is that bad for you?” Cameron looked calm and nonchalant.
Isla looked at him, her cheeks red. She wanted to hug him. This part of him was what she loved- his cool and gentle part.
Isla’s parents were surprised by Cameron’s change.
Cameron held Isla in his arms. “She chose me. I will take responsibility for her. If you want to control her life and make her do as you wish, then I’m taking her away right now, and I’ll prove that I can provide for her, too.” He wouldn’t prove things to the Stevens couple because he didn’t think it was necessary.
“Cameron_” Isla was tearing up at this point.
“Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, no one can force you to marry someone you. Cameron took Isla away without saying another word.
don’t like.”
Abigail could see that Isla had fallen head over heels in love with Cameron. The truth was, she could understand why Isla wanted to date Cameron despite her parents’ protests. She could see Cameron’s charm now.

“You’re a baby! I’m not a baby!” Isla teared up.
Abigail opened her door and looked at Cameron. “Just go in. Stop being a baby.”
Cameron said nothing and went into his room. Abigail ma*saged her temples and closed the door. Ugh, can’t believe he needs someone to help him with his relationship. This useless piece of trash.
The next morning, Abigail saw Sean sitting on the couch. She felt a little awkward, but she composed herself right away. “We’re going to Isla’s place today.”
“Huh?” Sean was surprised.
“What’s with that response?” Abigail was annoyed.
Sean smiled. “We can go, but after you answer one question.”
Abigail looked at him and muttered, “Don’t push your luck.”
“I’m not pushing my luck. I just want to know if you were mad last night. Did you get jealous?” he
asked.
“I did not get jealous, and I wasn’t mad. Is that enough?” she retorted coldly.
Sean nodded. “Yep.”
That made Abigail angrier. It seems like he got smug. “So, are you going or not?” she asked, a little gentler this time.
“Sure. You’re asking me to go. I can’t say no to that.” Sean smiled languidly.
Abigail harrumphed and said goodbye to Analise. She called Isla and Cameron, and they went to
the Stevens Residence.
The Stevens Family was rich, even in Capitalis. They had a villa in the bustling part of the city. Even when they knew Abigail and Sean were coming, the Stevens couple still didn’t look happy.
When Abigail went into the lounge and saw Isla’s father wearing an icy expression, she knew even with her and Sean’s help, this would be hard to negotiate. But she could understand Isla’s father’s. feelings. After all, Houston Stevens raised Isla since she was a child. Of course, he wanted her to marry someone on her level.
Sean sat down and took the tea the helper gave him before looking at Houston. “Hello, Mr.
Stevens.”
Isla’s mother, Lila Reeves, was on the couch, simmering.
Since Houston was ignoring him, Sean smiled first. “Your daughter’s choice might not be wrong. I know you guys are rich, but Alana has L.Moon, and you know how much I have. You have no
