"The wedding?" Cameron was taken aback, then chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Laura didn't invite me to her wedding. She specifically asked me not to go."
"What?" Dakota was shocked.
Initially, she had thought that Laura had come all the way to Yrando to personally invite Cameron to her wedding. But the result was much different.
Given their past relationship, this shouldn't have been the case.
"Why?" Dakota asked, puzzled.
"She probably thinks my presence will embarrass her," Cameron said with a hint of self-mockery.
"I see... I'm sorry..." Dakota trembled with guilt as she looked at Cameron.
Bringing up this matter was undoubtedly rubbing salt into his wound.
"It's okay. I don't care anymore," Cameron said with a dismissive smile.
"Are you really not upset?" Dakota asked with concern.
Having such news delivered face-to-face by a woman he once deeply loved must be really painful.
"I'm fine." Cameron looked up at the ceiling of the bedroom.
If it weren't for the incident with the Zimmer family, he wouldn't have planned to attend Laura's wedding.
Marrying Alan was Laura's choice for happiness after careful consideration.
Back then, at the end of the grand ceremony, Laura had already given him her answer. He had chosen to respect it.
However, after what had happened to the Zimmer family, Cameron realized that his mother's death was somehow connected to the Xander family.
If his future investigations revealed the Xanders involvement, he would definitely crush them to avenge his mother.
He didn't want Laura to be widowed because of this, let alone marry into such a politically astute family.
If she did, her future would be filled with endless pain and restrictions. She might even become trapped in the consequences of the Xanders' actions.
But what surprised him were Laura's words.
At that moment, he truly felt an unprecedented coldness from her, like she was a stranger.
Their past affection seemed to have completely vanished at that moment.
If Laura felt he wasn't worthy, then he wouldn't disturb her life anymore.
