Camille remained silent, looking at Preston with indifference. There was a hint of displeasure in her eyes, but Preston didn't want her to respond with silence. He said, "Camille, tell me, is this what you really think?"
Camille knew Preston well and understood his temperament. She didn't want to directly respond to him or provoke his anger. She simply said, "Mr. Walker, these questions you're asking are really boring. We're all adults here, can we be more mature?"
Preston narrowed his eyes, his face turning cold, but his tone remained calm. He said, "Camille, I don't want it to be like this either, but what can I do? It's because I care about you that I act this way. I've given you all my emotions, whether it's friendship or love. But your response shouldn't be so indifferent. You don't even consider me in your heart, Camille, you can't treat me like this."
Camille furrowed her brows, looking at Preston in disbelief. His questioning left her puzzled. How could he speak so confidently? Didn't he have any self-reflection?
It wasn't her fault at all; it was his wishful thinking.
Honestly, she remembered his kindness and it was unforgettable. She tried to tell herself not to erase all the good because of one mistake or one bad incident. But what Preston gave her wasn't just a simple mistake or something bad; each time he targeted something that could ruin her reputation. If her resilience wasn't strong enough, she wouldn't be able to stand here and talk to him so easily.
So Camille genuinely disagreed with what Preston said from the bottom of her heart, even though she knew he wouldn't be pleased if she said it out loud. But Camille couldn't help herself and said, "You think I'm cold-hearted and that all the emotions and kindness you've given me were in vain. I can only apologize. I don't expect you to forgive me because I can't even do things that I ask of myself. But Preston, I hope you can think clearly. Being a person means not only being true to yourself but also being morally upright and kind."
Camille was reminding him not to do anything excessive, regardless of his intentions. She didn't want him to hurt more people.
But Camille's words were useless, as he would never listen to her. Not only could he not listen, but he also believed that Camille said these things out of fear for him going after Ayan.
This ignited Preston's emotions, and he glared at Camille with a fierce look. His voice became sharp as he said, "Camille, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You just want to help Ayan. In your eyes, it has always been Ayan. He doesn't do anything; he just needs to beckon with his finger and you immediately go running to him. And me? No matter how much I do, you don't even see it. You're really cruel to me. Your heart can be soft towards everyone except me. How can you be like this? Aren't you afraid..."
His emotions burst out like a floodgate being opened. In that moment, no one could stop his emotional outburst.
Camille was stunned by the scene and didn't want to have any conflict with him. She looked at him with indifference and a coldness in her eyes. She didn't say anything but waited for Preston to stop speaking before fully opening the car door and preparing to get in.
