“What a relief. That annoying guy finally left!” Dakota watched as Willie left, feeling relieved.
“Alright, Dakota, why don’t you accompany Cam to watch some TV? I will call you both when dinner is ready,” Jane said to her daughter.
“Okay, Mom,” said Dakota. She then led Cameron to sit on the sofa.
Florence quickly followed them. She said warmly, “Young man, your name is Cameron, right? From now on, I shall call you Cam as well. After you marry Dakota, we will be a family.”
“Okay,” Cameron responded with a nonchalant attitude.
He had noticed Florence’s attitude toward Dakota just now.
Dakota herself had been looking upset as well.
But Florence didn’t seem to mind at all, and her smile became even more flattering. “Cam, what happened earlier was just a misunderstanding. I hope you won’t take it to heart. After all, we will be a family in the future.
“Dakota, please accompany Cameron. I will not disturb you both anymore. I’m going to go to the balcony to get some sun.”
After saying that, she left with Charlie to the balcony, leaving Cameron and Dakota alone.
As for this time of day, the sun had already set. What sun was she talking about?
Dakota heaved a sigh helplessly and said, “Cameron, that’s just how my aunt is. She’s a typical snob. Just ignore her.”
“I know,” Cameron smiled. He turned to look at Dakota and asked, “How about you? Are you feeling better?”
Being taken aback by Cameron’s sudden show of affection, Dakota suddenly became shy. But she quickly composed herself, saying, “Thank you, I’m not feeling sad anymore.”
“That’s good,” Cameron replied with a gentle smile.
Dakota’s heart fluttered once again. In order to stop herself from overthinking, she quickly took out the remote control and switched on the TV, selecting a comedy variety show to watch.
“Haha!” Cameron laughed heartily as he watched.
However, Dakota was clearly absent–minded.
Time passed quickly as they watched TV.
“Cam, Dakota, Charlie, Florence, Leo, it’s time to eat!” Jane called everyone once dinner was ready.
“Coming!” Everyone rushed over when they heard Jane’s call.
Chapter 72
On the dining table was a variety of delicious dishes. Leonard looked at all the dishes excitedly.
“Cam, let’s have this big piece of drumstick first!” Jane enthusiastically picked up a large drumstick
for Cameron.
“Thank you, Jane!” said Cameron.
“Don’t be so polite with me, Cam,” Jane smiled, liking Cameron more and more.
“Cam, can you drink? How about having a few drinks with me?” Leonard asked as he laughed heartily,
“I can!” Cameron said without hesitation.
“Haha, great! Come, let me pour you some!” said Leonard.
“Don’t pour too much for Cam. I won’t spare you if you make him drunk!” reminded Jane.
“Haha, alright, Dear,” replied Leonard.
The atmosphere during dinner was joyful and harmonious.
Halfway through dinner, Leonard and Jane asked Cameron some questions about his relationship with Dakota, such as how they met. Cameron answered with the responses he prepared beforehand.
When asked about his relationship with Mr. Kane, Cameron said that Mr. Kane was his business
partner. He used to do business, but recently the market has been bad, so he temporarily closed the
business and rested at home.
Those two hundred million dollars were what Mr. Kane owed him.
Upon hearing this, the Jennings praised him, marveling at his achievements at such a young age and the fact that Mr. Kane was his business partner. It was truly impressive!
Charlie and Florence listened attentively to their conversation. After hearing everything, they made up their minds to curry favor with Cameron in the future.
Cameron was like a god of wealth for the Jennings family!
Sitting beside Cameron, Dakota watched her parents keep praising Cameron, feeling exhilarated.
After dinner, Charlie and Florence didn’t want to continue to be the third wheels, so they politely said their goodbyes and left.
Leonard hadn’t been this happy in a long time. He drank until he was drunk and fell asleep right away after going back to his room.
“Cam, how did you come here today?” Jane asked Cameron with a smile after everyone had left.
“Dakota drove me here,” Cameron replied.
