Chapter 7
“Sorry, let me answer this call real quick,” Dakota said apologetically to Cameron.
“Alright.” Cameron smiled at her.
Dakota then answered the call. Madison’s voice rang out from the other end. “What took you so long to answer, Dakota?”
“Huh? Did you call me earlier?” Dakota asked, surprised.
“Yeah, I did. Several times too.”
Dakota checked her call history and sure enough, she had a couple of missed calls from Madison.
Dakota said apologetically, “Sorry, I must’ve been too busy and forgot to answer.”
“I knew you were busy with work.”
“How’d you know?”
“Don’t I know you best? Have you finished your work?”
“Mhm. What’s up, Maddy?”
“Oh, nothing much. I just wanted to let you know I got a divorce,” Madison answered.
“Divorce? Why a divorce all of a sudden?”
“Ugh. I was blind to have gotten together with that man. I treated him so well yet he cheated on me in spirit!”
“Cheated in spirit?”
“This is what happened…” Madison then explained the fake love letters situation to Dakota, claiming Cameron not only used all her resources but even demanded at least a million dollars of allowance every month. Madison divorced him because she’d had enough.
“That guy is just terrible!” Dakota cried angrily after hearing Madison’s explanation, not knowing the truth of the matter at all.
“Forget it. It’s in the past now. I just wanted to vent a little. Anyway, after all that I’ve suffered, I’ve finally gotten something good in my life now in the form of Mr. Price.”
“Then I really must congratulate you,” Dakota said.
“By the way, Dakota, do you still remember the pink hair bow each of us bought when we were kids?”
“Of course I do. Why?” Dakota asked.
“I just felt nostalgic when I saw mine while cleaning things up today. It’s a token of our friendship after all!”
“That it is. I’ve kept that bow all this time too!” Dakota said with a hint of guilt.
Dakota had lost her bow when she was a child. She just never told Madison because she was worried Madison would be angry with her.
Madison’s worries disappeared upon hearing Dakota’s answer. Looks like Cameron didn’t cheat on her with her best friend.
Madison trusted Dakota after all.
Plus, no way would Dakota have eyes for someone like Cameron!
“That’s all I wanted to talk to you about, Dakota. I won’t bother you further.”
“Alright, Maddy. Don’t be sad, okay? I’ll always be by your side,” Dakota said encouragingly.
“Okay.” Madison then hung up the call.
Cameron’s heart dipped in his chest. They had mentioned the hair bow during the call!
Sure enough, Dakota Jennings was the young girl Cameron met 15 years ago!
Cameron was trembling with emotion.
