Chapter 430
Austin was stunned to see Cameron suddenly appear at the door with a cake in her hands.
His amber pupils contracted sharply. Even though he was seeing it with his own eyes, he could hardly believe it.
“Cameron?” It took Austin a moment to find his voice. “Why are you here?”
Cameron walked over to him with the cake. The room was dark, and the candlelight lit up both their faces.
Cameron said, “Didn’t you text me that today’s your birthday?”
Austin was so excited he stammered. “Y–Yes, today really is my birthday, but how did you get in? Fraser Villa has tight security.”
Cameron brushed it off. “They couldn’t stop me. Aus, the candle’s about to go out–make a wish quickly,”
Austin was still a bit dazed, but he obediently followed Cameron’s words, clasping his hands together and closing his eyes.
After making a wish, Austin opened his eyes and stared at Cameron.
Cameron said, “Blow out the candle.”
Austin blew out the candle with a smile.
Cameron turned on the lights, set the cake down, and said, “Aus, happy birthday. It’s time to cut the cake.”
Austin smiled and walked up behind Cameron. “Cameron, let’s not rush to cut the cake yet.”
“Wha?” Cameron looked confused.
Austin said, “Cameron, I’m really touched that you came all the way here in the middle of the night to celebrate my birthday. Can I hug you?”
Cameron eyed him skeptically.
Austin’s ears turned red. “I–I don’t mean anything else. I’m just… really moved.”
Cameron stared at him and said earnestly, “Sorry, Aus, I can’t.”
She disliked being too close to people, especially since Austin was a boy. Although she dressed as a boy, she was biologically female, so she wouldn’t allow Austin to hug her.
Austin froze at Cameron’s rejection, just as he had when she first appeared.
He thought, ‘We’re both guys–what’s wrong with a light hug?‘
Cameron’s cleanliness obsession had reached an extreme level.
Austin looked down at his white silk bathrobe. “Cameron, I just showered–I’m not dirty.”
After a moment of silence, Cameron pointed to the cake. “Enjoy the cake. I’ll be going now.” With that, she turned to leave.
“Wait, Cameron!” Austin called out quickly. “I was just kidding.”
Cameron turned back. “Alright, cut the cake.“/
Austin rushed to the sofa, sliced the cake, and handed the first piece to Cameron.
“Thanks,” Cameron said, taking it.
