Chapter 2457
“I don’t know how to make a marriage work, nor do I know how to tolerate. I know that tolerating doesn’t mean that I have to live according to how others want me to.
“If… If this is how marriages are supposed to be, I’d rather not-”
Waylon walked toward her and pulled her into his arms. She froze in his arms.
Waylon wrapped his arms tighter around her. He shouldn’t have forced her.
“I’m sorry, Cam.”
Cameron pressed her lips together and buried her face into his shoulder.
Waylon tilted her face upward and kissed between her brows. “I shouldn’t have kept you by my side and made you feel as though you’ve lost your freedom. I’m sorry.”
Cameron looked up at him. “Are you afraid that I will cheat on you?”
He was taken aback. “What?”
Cameron clicked her tongue and turned away. “You don’t want me to be around Nick because you’re afraid that I might cheat on you with him. If there was something between us, we would have been together already. You wouldn’t stand a chance.”
Her last sentence was but a whisper.
Waylon froze. He would be lying if he said he wasn’t worried that there was something between them. Ever since he found out that they had known each other since they were young, he lost his calm.
He didn’t want Cameron to be around Nick and didn’t want to see that one day, this friend might take his place as her husband.
She was different from other women. Maybe because she grew up dressed like a man, she had never taken gender too seriously.
Cameron had a different way of life. She was free on the East Islands and could do as she pleased. Even their marriage was a ‘trap‘ set by him. How could he be sure she wouldn’t get tired of a life like this one day?
He was afraid that she would be tired.
Waylon hugged her tightly. “Yes, I’m afraid you will get too close to him and get tired of me. I’ve done so much to make you my wife. What can I do if you run away with another man?”
Cameron was stunned, then, after a long pause, she chuckled. “Who says I’m going to run away?”
