Chapter 122
A white BMW had been trailing them for some time.
Lena’s expression grew slightly solemn as she said, “It seems like we’re being followed.”
“Being followed?”
Cameron’s expression changed. He hadn’t sensed any hostility.
“Do you see that white BMW behind us? It’s been following us the entire way,” Lena said in a low
voice.
At this, Cameron finally paid attention to the rearview mirror and spotted a white BMW behind them.
“Dakota?”
Cameron’s gaze shifted as he recognized the car.
“Isn’t that Dakota’s BMW 320i?”
“Dakota?”
Lena was taken aback for a moment before remembering.
“Isn’t that your little girlfriend?”
“Uh… she’s not my girlfriend yet.

Cameron hesitated before responding.
“That’ll be soon enough,” Lena said with a meaningful smile.
“I guess she’s been following us because she’s worried about you.
“Colonel Bailey, anyone would be worried with you as their personal escort,” Cameron quipped as he raised an eyebrow.
“You might have a point there,” Lena muttered, finding some sense in Cameron’s words.
“So, Colonel Bailey, you might as well let me go now. I’ve answered all your questions,” Cameron said.
He did not want Dakota to worry any further.
“Alright, I might need to contact you later, so leave me your number,” Lena said, attempting to display her reasonableness.
Cameron thought Lena was decent and decided to give her his number.
After saving his number, Lena pulled over to the side of the road. The white BMW also stopped.
Cameron alighted from the car and waved toward Dakota in the driver’s seat.
“Dakota!”

“Cameron!”
Dakota quickly stepped out, her face filled with concern.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine,” Cameron reassured her with a smile.
Lena exited the driver’s seat and greeted Dakota, “Hello, Ms. Jennings.”
“Colonel Bailey. Hi,” Dakota responded politely, then asked, “Can he
go now?“!
“Yes. I just needed Cameron to clear up some doubts for me. Don’t worry. He hasn’t committed any crimes,” Lena clarified.
She wanted to ease Dakota’s anxieties completely.
“That’s a relief. Thank you, Colonel Bailey,” Dakota said gratefully.
“No need to thank me. Your boyfriend should be thanked for his cooperation,” Lena said with a smile.
She deliberately used the term “boyfriend” to encourage the two to be closer.
Dakota’s cheeks flushed red, while Cameron couldn’t help but shake his head at Lena’s antics.
“Well, I’ll be taking my leave now since there’s nothing more for me here,” Lena said before returning to her vehicle.
The army green pickup truck slowly drove away.
“I’ll drive
you
back.”
Dakota turned to Cameron to make that gentle offer.
“Sure,” Cameron agreed, and they both got into the car.
As they drove toward Azure Residence, Dakota curiously asked, “Cameron, what did Colonel Bailey want with you? And what was that about the crime scene?”
“It’s nothing serious.”
Using his prepared story, Cameron explained, “I was just helping Laura out with her car when we were attacked by thugs on our way back from the police station. Afterward, Colonel Bailey had some questions about the scene, so I helped answer them.”
