Because it was too late, Nina and Cameron went to bed after getting back to the hotel. Nina had to work the next day, so they didn't have any time to make out.
At breakfast, Nina asked Cameron, "How is your mother now?"
"She's fine. My father takes good care of her." Cameron said, "They don't need me at all. My mom asked me to leave before I could spend a little time with her. She complained that I'm not good at peeling the apple and that the water I poured her was too hot. I thought I did a good job, but she just didn't like it." Cameron sighed.
Cameron believed that he did everything perfectly since he was young. However, Colleen was dissatisfied with whatever he did in the hospital.
Nina said, "Actually, she wants your father to do those for her. The one she relies on the most is your father, so she made this excuse to chase you away."
Nina could completely understand Colleen's feelings, especially since Colleen had spent most of her life with Randall. She was not satisfied with whatever Cameron did until Randall took his turn.
Cameron sighed and said in an aggrieved tone, "That's why I'm here to take care of you."
Nina fell into his arms with a smile and comforted him, "I super need you here."
Nina had sat opposite Cameron at first, but somehow, she sat close to him. Thus, she subconsciously fell into his arms. Nina thought she was even more clinging than when they were dating.
Nina is getting older, but she became more clinging. What a shame!
"After you go to work, I'll go hunting a house," Cameron said.
Nina was shocked. "What are you hunting the house for?"
Cameron replied seriously, "There's still a long time before you finish filming. After the false alarm, I don't want to live apart from you anymore. Thus, I'm planning to buy a house and make it better. I'll stay here with you for a while."
"But the house here isn't worth anything. It's not worth buying." Nina cared about nothing but money.
Jamelaton wasn't a big city, so the house here didn't have much room for appreciation.
Cameron laughed, "You only care about money."
Then, he continued, "I'm not buying the house for financing. I'll buy it so that we can live together and I can take good care of you."
Nina's stomach always had a problem. Cameron thought she must have a balanced diet. After buying a house, he would hire a food therapist to help her recuperate.
Moreover, this way, they could stay together. Cameron could work from home. He wouldn't leave here unless there was a must.
"But..." From where Nina stood, buying a house was tremendously important. She bought houses because she wanted them to appreciate, and the houses she bought all had that kind of potential. Otherwise, she wouldn't have spent such a big deal of money.
Cameron gently explained, "We make money to get what we want, to lead a better life. I buy a house here so that we could live together. This is much more beneficial to me than money itself."
Nina couldn't refute it because she felt that what Cameron said made sense.
Nina remembered what she made money for.
She just wanted to have a better and more comfortable life.
