Laura’s POV 112
I couldn’t resist her pampering, simply washed my face and followed her out the door.
I didn’t expect her to take me to the Marina amusement park.
Towering Ferris wheel, romantic carousel, exciting roller coaster, thrilling pirate ship …
There were also people selling cotton candy on the side of the road.
Willow was quite excited to get here, running around like crazy and yelling all the way.
I was infected by the happy aura on her, and my mood was much more cheerful under the blue sky and white clouds.
“Don’t you just run around!” I called to her, “Which one do you want to play? It’s my treat today!”
“I’m the one who dragged you out, so of course it has to be my treat!” She smiled.
I realized that there were surprisingly no more tourists in this huge castle-shaped playground except for me and her.
“Well … probably because it’s a weekday, the ones who work go to work, the ones who go to school, and only the two of us, who are hobos, have the leisure to come here to hang out!” Willow look somewhat docile.
And at the time I actually believed her on that.
“I’m going to get cotton candy.” She said, “Ms. Laura, wait for me here!”
“Hey, don’t buy them.” I tried to stop her, “What kind of adult eats that?”
“This is a playground!” She squeezed her eyes, “We’re here, just be a kid for a day! In fact, everyone is still a child, right?”
“You’ve got a lot of theories about that.”
Willow made a face at me and ran off like a gust of wind.
I have no idea where she went to get cotton candy. The paths in this playground are so convoluted that I can’t tell north, south, east, and west.
After standing under the sun for a while, someone finally tapped me on the shoulder from behind, and a large marshmallow was held in front of my eyes.
“Where did you run off to! I waited so long …”
The words did not fall, but behind that cotton candy, Cameron’s face actually appeared.
“You …”
“I know you like strawberry flavor.” He gave me the pink mass, “Ever since you were a little girl you loved coming to this playground, and every time you came you asked for strawberry flavored marshmallows. But I often didn’t buy them for you.”
“Stop it.” I glanced at him coldly and was just about to leave when he tugged on my arm.
“Laura, you’re patient with everyone!” He was quite disgruntled, “You used to be patient with Mom and Dad, with Carter, and now with your students, even your students’ parents! But only with me, you don’t even let me finish my sentence!”
“You let go of me!”
I flung it violently, and the marshmallow landed on the floor, tender and pink and dusty.
Willow comes running from a short distance away, looks at Cameron, then at me, and timidly apologizes. “Yes … sorry ah, today this bureau, it is my group …”
“But handsome uncle, you say something!” She pulled Cameron’s sleeve, “It was you who cleared the place, this has nothing to do with me! I don’t have that much money either …”
I glared at her, and the little girl didn’t dare to say anything more.
“That … I …” she mumbled, “I’m going to play first, it’s hard to stumble upon the clearing of the field, all kinds of facilities here are at my disposal, I want to play an I’m going to have a great time!”
After saying this, she fled again in a puff of smoke.
Cameron and I stood in the same spot, staring at each other for a long time. Suddenly, I felt that my anger had subsided a lot, and I had forgotten why I had quarreled with him, and even forgot about my relationship with him.
It was as if I had traveled back in time to when I was a child.
At that time, I was the little tail behind him, but he always cold face to me. Once came to the amusement park, he said to take me to ride the Ferris wheel, I was afraid of high, he said he would always pull my hand.
So I believed him.
However, when I was about to get on the Ferris wheel, he pushed me in and closed the door tightly. The facility started, I stayed inside in fear, the Ferris wheel a little higher, I saw him from the glass window far below, grimly smiling.
That scene is still my nightmare, and the beginning of my fear of heights.
Unconsciously coming under the Ferris wheel again, I snapped back to my senses, a cold sweat broke out on my body, and I couldn’t help but shrink back a few steps.
“No, I’m not going on this …”
“Laura,” he embraced me, “I will never let go of your hand this time.”
I looked into his eyes silently, they were deep, as if the stars were vast within them. My heart fluttered slightly, a complex emotion rushing down every vein all the way to my heart.
“I will never let go of your hand.” He hugged me gently and I pressed against his chest, hearing the pounding of my heartbeat.
The Ferris wheel rises gradually and I cower in his arms.
My hands were sweaty and he held them tightly, his other hand caressing my back.
I didn’t dare to open my eyes when I reached the highest point, my legs were shaking.
Suddenly lips touched softness, followed by his warm breath … He pried open my tongue and slipped it in, gentle and lingering, silky …
“Cameron…” I pushed away hard.
His eyes rolled, bursting with intense possessiveness.
“I’ve heard a saying.” He whispered, “Kiss at the highest point of the Ferris wheel and the two will never be apart.”
Tears filled my eyes.
“Laura, I don’t want to be separated from you.”
Every word he said hammered on my heart.
“You listen to me …” he looked at me, “I’ll take you and Sunny and we’ll leave here as a family. Or wherever you like you tell me, New Avalon? Auropean? We can find a small town to live in and go incognito.”
“I … I’m giving up everything here.” He said, “I don’t want anything, I can go get a normal job and live a normal life with you guys. We may not be too rich, but we’ll never be apart!”
“Cameron,” I cried as I threw myself into his arms.
He stroked my hair one by one and said softly, “Laura, I know you can’t get past that hurdle in your heart … but if you can’t, you have to, and the truth is already here! We loved each other, and I still love you, and we have a child!”
“So give yourself a chance.” His voice was a little feeble.
I rarely heard him speak in a pleading tone.
My heart began to falter and all the past came back to me one by one. I asked myself what I should do next.
However, I didn’t hear an answer, I only felt myself holding his hand tightly.
The Ferris wheel descended to the very bottom and the staff opened the door with a rose.
“Kissing at the top will bring you good luck!” The staff member beamed, “May you two grow old together!”
Cameron took it, facing away from me, and smiled softly.
He was just about to get down on one knee and offer me that rose when I stopped him.
“I don’t like this kind of flower,” I laughed, “It’s got thorns on it that stick!”
He looked at me in disbelief.
“Get me cotton candy!” I took his arm, “Strawberry mint chocolate, one of each!”
“You’re so edible?” He snickered.
“What?” I looked at him, “You won’t take me away if I get fat, will you?”
Cameron laughed and I laughed back.
We hugged in the sun and ran around the playground.
Chasing after each other like two kids, yelling and screaming.
He took me on the merry-go-round, the roller coasters, and he held me so tightly that he was afraid I’d miss a beat.
When we ate cotton candy, he gently wiped the candy stains from the corners of my mouth and smiled gently at me.
I never dared to think that I would have a day like this with Cameron.
I decided to give us a chance, and myself a chance.
I told Cameron where I wanted to go, a small village in Auropean called Hopmeadow Downs.
It’s warm and sunny all year round, the people are simple, and it has a strong cultural flavor, with stone carvings and totems from ancient Greek mythology everywhere.
Cameron laughed at me, “It’s really worthy of being a teacher, choosing a hermitage has to be so cultured! If I had to choose, I would choose New Avalon New York! I’ll go back to Blossom Hill Rd to open a restaurant, it’s definitely enough for you mother and daughter to eat and drink in New Avalon!”
“Then you open your restaurant, I’ll just pursue my ancient Greece.” I said as if nothing had happened as I packed my bags.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“And who does Sunny go with?”
“I’ll take him, of course.”
“Don’t you dare!”
Cameron lunged at me and we got into a tussle, when suddenly he slipped on his feet and I followed his force and was yanked down, both of us falling onto the bed together.
It was like an electric current slipped between our eyes.
His hand slowly touched up, peeling off my clothes. In an instant, time and space stopped spinning, and all I could hear was the sound of my heartbeat, and the flow of blood, buzzing in my ears.
He whispers in my ear, “I will make you happy.”
I nodded. I left everything behind in that moment, all I could remember was that I was Laura and he was Cameron.
He was the man I loved.
…
Cameron brings Sunny to me.
I was at a loss for words, I didn’t expect happiness to come so suddenly.
I was stunned to look at Sunny, countless times in the dream and she met the scene, now become a reality, I do not know whether to hug her first or kiss her.
Her big watery eyes looked at me, timidly shouted “mom”, milky voice, immediately brought tears to my eyes.
I was thrilled and delighted, but also puzzled. I had been away for so long, and now she was in kindergarten, but she still remembered me as her mom?
Yasmin quietly told me, “In fact, Cameron is not as heartless as you think, in this year or so, he often points to your picture and tells the child that this is mommy, she is not with you for a while, but she loves you.”
I froze for a long moment before looking at Cameron again, a melting warmth welling up in my heart.
We were three days away from opening Jerez State. We had already booked our flights, and instead of Hopmeadow Downs, our first stop was Memphis, where Sunny was said to be excited when she first learned to sit there by herself and read picture books, pointing at the pictures and waving her little hands and babbling.
The place she was pointing to was Memphis.
Given how spoiled Cameron is with his daughter, he’s going to have to take her there to see it.
I’ve had a lovely couple of days, a family of three, and it’s as if we’re really isolated from the world.
I felt more and more that this was the right step, and I told myself that as soon as we got on the airplane, no one would ever be able to separate us again, and no one would ever know about our relationship. The secret would remain hidden forever.
Only, Cameron and I would never have children again.
Because I’m still a little bit in between, Sunny is a miracle, but I can’t guarantee that the next one will be a miracle too. I can’t bring a dysfunctional child into this world to suffer.
Cameron doesn’t feel the same way, and he acts as if he doesn’t care whenever the issue is discussed. When he saw that I was getting angry, he gently calmed me down again, “One child would be nice, but let’s just go with the flow, okay?”
Before we left, we said goodbye to George and Gina.
Gina laughed, “Finally willing to take this step?”
George was a bit sad, “Laura, I really hate to let you go, the showbiz industry has lost a rising star!”
Cameron and I laughed but didn’t say anything, nothing mattered to us now, only each other, the only one in our lives.
But I never thought that God would play another joke on me.
The day before I left, Willow’s phone call came in hurriedly, “Ms. Laura, you didn’t go online, did you?”
It was six o’clock in the morning, and I was in a haze of sleep, “I’m not like you young people,” I laughed in a hoarse voice, “I don’t have that much energy to go online early in the morning.”
“You didn’t watch TV either, did you?”
My heart suddenly lifted upwards.
Why was she being so weird, calling early in the morning just for this?
“Is something wrong?” I asked.
The other end, however, began to stammer, “No… no. Ms. Laura, just pretend I never made this call, I’m begging you!”
Said she hurriedly hung up.
I was stunned for half a day did not return to God.
Later, I felt that this was very suspicious.
My heart suddenly welled up a bad feeling, this may be related to me, and not a small matter!
I poured a cup of water and drank it down, came to the computer, but delayed to press the boot button.
I hesitantly went online, but I didn’t realize that when I opened the webpage, all that popped up was news about Cameron dating Queenie!
I was shocked.
At that moment, my blood suddenly poured out of my body, my hands and feet went cold, and my soul seemed to have been drained away. I stared blankly at the screen, Cameron and Queenie’s photos were reproduced by many media, I don’t know what happened in them, but from the photos, they were moving and behaving in an intimate manner!
I violently felt the pain of a million arrows piercing my heart.
Covering the place where my heart was, I gasped for air, and cold sweat fell down my cheeks in large chunks. There was a feeling that I wanted to cry, but I couldn’t, and the whole world crumbled, all of a sudden clouded over.
How could it be Cameron?
The Cameron who told me the other day that he would never let go of my hand?
The media was going crazy with rumors of Cameron’s devotion to his ex-wife, and then it all came back to haunt him. He did three years in jail for his old man when he was The Scott family son-in-law, and now that he’s divorced, he’s still affectionate.
Heh … sentient!
I’ll keep scrolling down.
It was even revealed in the press that Queenie’s son was his at all!
My vision faded into a blur.
I don’t blame Queenie, I don’t blame Cameron, I know this is God’s retribution for me. How could I run away with my own brother and expect to be with him forever?
That’s what really defied morality.
I left Sunny in Yasmin’s care and locked myself in my room.
Cameron made countless phone calls that I didn’t want to hear.
My feelings for him were still quite complicated, and this time he cheated me, but I couldn’t do what those cheated women did and seek justice from the negative man. What am I? I’m just his sister!
I silently checked out of my plane ticket and hotel, and put Memphis, Hopmeadow Downs, the warm sunshine of the Mediterranean, all into the box of the past.
