The next morning, when Colleen and Randall were having breakfast, Cameron called. Colleen picked up the phone with trembling hands and almost lost hold of it.
Randall said helplessly, "Calm down!"
Colleen's heart was racing. "I hope he won't tell us that he didn't marry Nina."
Randall took a sip of the porridge, and said on purpose, "What harm would it make? You don't like Nina anyway."
"I didn't like her but I do now." Colleen corrected him.
The more she thought about Nina, the more she liked her.
Colleen didn't start to like Nina because Michelle broke her heart. Nina was a good girl. She was better than many in Jamelaton.
Randall reminded, "Don't think about it too much, answer the call."
Only then did Colleen realize the phone was still ringing. She took a deep breath and picked it up. "Hello?" she said as usual.
"Have you slept well last night?" Cameron was testing Colleen's attitude.
"Yes, I did."
"I'm sorry for what Michelle has done. It must have brought you troubles." Cameron then said.
Don't be sorry. You revealed her true face. This is a good thing." Colleen meant it. If the thing didn't happen last night, she would still be fooled by Michelle.
As she spoke, Colleen suddenly had an idea. "I was about to ask you for Nina's number. Can you give it to me?"
Colleen explained, "Since she wouldn't come back in a short while, I might better contact her through the phone."
Colleen wanted to apologize to Nina, but there was also something else.
She thought that if Cameron gave her Nina's number, he and Nina must be fine. And the person she married must be Nina.
She couldn't ask directly. Therefore, she chose this way.
Smart as Cameron, he immediately knew what Colleen was thinking. And he could tell that Colleen and Randall approved of his marriage.
So, he agreed. "I'll send it to you later."
Colleen was relieved. "Alright."
Without saying much, they each knew the other person's attitude. So, Cameron didn't speak more about this topic.
He asked instead, "Are you and my dad free this morning? I'd like to take you to a press conference."
"We do have the time." Said Colleen in confusion. "But what press conference is it?"
