The more Nina complained, the more insisted Cameron was. "I'll remind you every day in case you have any bad thoughts."
Nina was speechless.
Cameron lifted his eyebrows seeing Nina glare at him and said, "What? Any disagreements?"
"No. Do as you wish." Nina smiled.
She thought she should change his name on her phone to "Mr. Talkative"
"What's in that smile?" Cameron had a bad feeling.
He knew too well how cunning she was.
Nina urged, "We should go. Don't let your parents wait."
Cameron narrowed his eyes and then stood up, grabbing her.
He had been prepared for whatever she was planning to do.
Leaving the hotel, they went home and got changed, then headed to the Dauster's.
Upon entering the door, Cameron explained to Colleen, "Mom, Nina has a toothache. She has trouble speaking."
Colleen didn't have any doubt. She immediately went up asking, "Are you alright, Nina? Have you seen a dentist?"
Cameron answered on Nina's behalf, "Yes, she did. And the dentist prescribed some medicines for her."
Colleen immediately said with empathy, "I know how terrible it feels when having a toothache. I suffered from it too. At that time, I almost knocked my head on the wall."
Nina covered her face with one hand and nodded, saying, "Indeed, it's painful."
As the best actress of many years, acting toothache was easy for Nina.
"Then don't speak. I'll ask them to prepare some soft food for you." Colleen then went to the kitchen. Her arm hadn't recovered yet. It was still in a bandage,
After Colleen left, Nina and Cameron exchanged a look. Cameron murmured beside her ear, "Good actress."
Nina snorted, thinking, "Of course, I am!"
During dinner, Nina was able to eat slowly. Cameron would answer Colleen's questions. To be honest, it felt great not having to speak.
After all, it wasn't easy for in-laws to get along. Speaking less meant fewer chances to make mistakes.
Colleen's arm recovered well. Randall took good care of her. She had been happy both physically and mentally. At first, Colleen planned to discuss the wedding with Nina, but Nina couldn't speak, so she gave up.
Anyway, Nina would have to stay on set for a bit longer. And Colleen also needed some time for her arm to be recovered.
Yet Cameron mentioned the wedding. "Dad, Mom. Nina and I thought about it. And we think a small private wedding would be better for us. We want to stay low-key, so we'll only invite people close to us."
"What?" Colleen had been planning for a grand wedding. She thought that Nina was a famous actress. She must give her face. The reporters must come. She wanted Nina to be proud.
Yet now Cameron proposed to have a small private wedding… Colleen wanted to say something. Randall interrupted, "Since they had decided, we'll just agree. After all, it's their wedding."
