Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail and Sean) novel Chapter 596

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. I am 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 don't like." Cameron took Isla away without saying another word.

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.

When they came out of the Stevens Residence, Sean was frowning, and he stared at Cameron.

Abigail was walking with him, and she bumped into him. "Jealous?"

Sean was jealous. Hey, you're just courting a lady. Do you have to make it so dramatic? It makes my efforts look dull. Isla looked like she'd marry him right away if he proposed. "You thought he was manly back then, didn't you?" Sean asked, jealousy lacing his tone.

Sean sighed. It wasn't an appropriate approach. Why couldn't I be that manly back then? He rubbed his chin as he mused.
