Cade looked at Cameron as if she were a brainless idiot. There was contempt written on each of his features. He walked past her and went straight downstairs. When Cameron arrived downstairs, she saw that Diane had prepared two bowls of chicken noodle soup. Cade, who had a spoon in hand, was already eating. She got to her seat and sat down. Carrots, celery, and chicken floated in the broth with fresh parsley leaves sprinkled over top. It was an appetizing sight. The fragrance of the soup wafted up from the bowl.With how hot the food was, she absentmindedly stirred her soup. There was no telling what was on her mind. Her unfocused gaze swept across the dining room before finally settling on Cade."You haven't had dinner?""Mhm.""Do you like Nerissa?"The Carters had moved out of the neighborhood several years ago, which meant that the two families were no longer down the street from one another. However, there was no doubt that Nerissa was involved with Cade's coincidental a

"Late October?" Ms. Anderson's mother-in-law turned her head sharply to stare at her meek and unimpressive daughter-in-law. "You came here again? Is this the style you chose?" "No! I didn't!" The woman hurriedly tried to explain herself, but she could only deny the accusation blankly. She turned to Cameron for help, her eyes red with anxiety."The wedding is tomorrow, Ms. Yorksworth. It's too late to get it modified now. Can I exchange it for something ready-made in your store?"Cameron's response was chillingly indifferent despite the woman's pleas."Our store has policies in place for this sort of issue. If we were the ones at fault, besides refunding the cost of the custom dress, we'll also provide compensation at 100 times the cost of the dress."However, this matter affects the reputation of our store. I'm sorry, Ms. Anderson, but I don't agree that we handle the matter in such a vague fashion."Mr. Anderson and his mother's eyes lit up at the mention of the amount Cameron

Blanche spent the entirety of the afternoon closely monitoring the situation online. As expected, the family had no shame at all. After the video went viral, they started a live broadcast to tearfully accuse Cameron of behaving arrogantly and maliciously."She wore a mask and sunglasses the whole time. It was like she was refusing to acknowledge us. "The wedding is tomorrow. With the gown looking like that, we have no other choice but to postpone the wedding. "The hotel, wedding ceremony, guests' accommodations, and flight tickets amount to nearly 100 thousand dollars."We're not asking for much. We just want her to reimburse our losses as per her store's policy. But not only did she refuse, she had us forcibly removed from the premises.""My kind-hearted daughter-in-law even spoke up for them, saying how it's not easy for young women to run a shop. She suggested that we take a ready-made dress from the store instead. But that designer, Ms. Yorksworth refused," the middle-aged

Cade shot Cameron a withering look."You own a shop that can't even afford rent for a year. Can you even hire a secretary?"Cameron fell silent. She wasn't in the mood to chat after the nightmare she experienced. His harsh words only left her even more disheartened. Who would believe that she, a daughter of the Yorksworth family and wife to Cade Carter, would be penniless?She unconsciously fiddled with the watch around her wrist as her vision went out of focus. The faint fragrance coming from Cade lingered in her nostrils. There was a vague feeling that something was wrong, but for a moment, she couldn't figure it out. Fabian was then heard knocking on the door from the outside."Come in," Cade said.Cameron finally realized what was wrong when Cade stood up. Wasn't he supposed to be at his desk?"What are you doing here?" she asked.Cade's dark eyes stared down at her pale face."You were squealing like a pig in a slaughterhouse and muttering non-stop. Why would I stay wh

A nurse came in to have Cade's blood pressure taken, which cut the conversation short. While the girl took his measurements, she stole glances at Cameron. There was a slight blush tinting her cheeks pink.Cameron could feel the nurse's gaze on her, but she didn't even bother to lift her head. Instead, she offered a mild word of caution. "Don't be fooled by a man's appearance. Some people are only meant to be admired from afar. "I'm his wife. We've been married for two years. Yet, he has so many mistresses out in the wild. Three of them even came to me directly."The nurse's face turned red. She gingerly waved her hands. "There's been a misunderstanding, Miss. I'm not interested in your husband. I just think you're very beautiful. Umm… Can I add you on Facebook?" Cade and Cameron were at a loss for words.The nurse was staring at Cameron with wide, expressive eyes. All that was missing was the nurse clasping her hands together to beg. In any case, Cameron was particularly ind
