Ex-husband Unmasked He’s a Billionaire?

The atmosphere in the bedroom suddenly became tense. The unexpected sound of the WhatsApp notification disrupted Dakota and Cameron's moment.

“Cameron, your phone... It just rang,” Dakota said as her face flushed. She then pushed Cameron away and buried her head in the blankets.

Cameron couldn't help but curse internally as he wondered who would be contacting him now. He was furious that the message didn't come another time.

He sighed heavily and took out his phone from his pocket. He found out it was a message from Tara!

Cameron opened WhatsApp and read the message, “Handsome, have you gotten home?”

His eye twitched, and he sent back an exclamation mark in response.

"You seem a bit resentful. I didn't mean to interrupt you and your girlfriend,” Tara joked.

Cameron sent back a laughing emoji and then asked, “What's up? Why did you contact me?”

“I've prepared the prescription you gave me. I'm wondering when you'll be able to come for my grandfather's acupuncture treatment,” Tara inquired.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Tomorrow morning,” Cameron replied, quickly shifting his mood to the matter.

He knew Tara was deeply concerned about her grandfather's illness.

"Alright, handsome. I'll wait for you in the ward tomorrow. Just let me know before you come. Love you!” Tara ended the message with a kiss emoji.

Cameron shook his head with a smile and replied, “Okay, Dr. Smith.” Then, he put away his phone. He looked toward Dakota. Seeing her now completely hidden under the blankets, he felt awkward. After a moment, he said, “Dakota, that was Dr. Tara. She was asking when I could treat her grandfather.”

“Mhm,” came Dakota's muffled reply from under the blankets.

“You might want to come out from under there. Isn't it stuffy?” Cameron asked, his tone awkward. “It's fine...” Dakota replied shyly.

She didn't know how to face Cameron now. The thought of what had almost happened made her die of embarrassment. She had said no, but when Cameron had moved in to kiss her, she had closed her eyes in anticipation. She felt that Cameron must have seen it all!

Seeing Dakota unwilling to show her face, Cameron felt even more awkward as he was unaware of her thoughts. “Dakota, I'm sorry about earlier. I got a bit carried away,” he apologized, scratching his head awkwardly.

“It's... It's okay.” Dakota paused before adding, “I'm a bit tired. I think I'll rest for a bit.”

Dakota had never been in such a situation before and was at a loss. She wanted to find an excuse to

send Cameron away for now.

“In that case... you rest well. I'll head back,” Cameron said, not knowing how to ease the awkwardness between them

“By the way, you can wash off the ointment on your face in about ten minutes,” he reminded her before leaving.

“Okay,” Dakota responded.

Cameron left awkwardly. Just as he stepped out, he ran into Jane, who was about to start cooking. “Hi, Ms. Jennings. I... I have to go now,” Cameron greeted her, his smile awkward.

“Won't you stay for dinner, Cameron?” Jane invited him warmly.

“No, something urgent came up at work. I have to go,” Cameron excused himself.

“Take care, then. Let me know in advance next time you come over. Mr. Jennings and I will plan an outing for ourselves,” Jane said as her tone implied something more.

“Uh... Okay.” Cameron's face heated up as he pretended not to catch her implication.

He knew Jane meant they wouldn't interrupt next time.

“Ms. Jennings, I'll be going, then,” he said quickly and left after putting on his shoes.

“Cameron is such a shy boy.” Jane chuckled, shaking her head as she watched his hasty retreat. Yet, she found herself liking this prospective son-in-law even more.
