By admin Plot Twist: I’m Dating Your Best Friend Ch 84
Cameron let out a heavy sigh. “Thanks, Ryan. I owe you for this.”
Ryan’s expression turned amused and a little sarcastic. “Don’t thank me just yet. You might end up hating me.”
“Hate you?” Cameron chuckled. “At most, you two will just bicker a little. I know your
character. No matter what happens, you’d never actually hurt her.”
Hurt her? What even counted as too far? Did liking her in silence for 15 years count? Or was it only “too far” once it turned physical?
The dogs barked.
A grilled sausage cart rolled by nearby, and the three big boys couldn’t resist the smell of meat. They started going wild, dragging their leashes like their lives depended on it.
Cassandra was barely holding them back. “Ryan! Get over here—your dogs have gone insane!”
For some reason, every time he saw Cassandra playing with them, Ryan felt something tickling right at the center of his chest.
He ended the call without another word and ran over. “Coming!”
Cameron frowned at the abrupt end of the call. “That was quick…”
Still, it was Ryan, his best friend. He didn’t think much of it.
Besides, he thought he’d heard a woman’s voice shouting Ryan’s name in the background. It was probably Ryan’s girlfriend.
With everything that had happened lately, he had taken up too much of Ryan’s time.
And now that Ryan had finally won the heart of the woman he’d waited so many years for, Cameron genuinely felt a little guilty.
“Cameron, are you calling Cassandra again?”
Grace had found Cameron on the stairwell of the hospital, secretly making a phone call behind her back.
Ever since Simon had been detained, Grace’s dislike for Cassandra had only grown.
She gritted her teeth and snapped, “If you keep seeing that woman, don’t bother seeing me and your father anymore!”
Lately, Cameron had been pushed to his limits. He hated being threatened more than anything. He immediately snapped back, “Are you threatening me?”
Chapter 84
“I’m trying to make you come to your senses! Look at yourself, son. There’s a perfectly good lady right here carrying your baby, and you’re off calling another woman. What are you thinking?”
The mention of the baby only made Cameron more agitated.
The baby. Everything was because of the baby.
If it weren’t for the baby, he didn’t believe Cassie would have insisted on the divorce or left for Stokelle to avoid him entirely.
Even if she had run, he could’ve gone after her. Maybe he could have stayed with her in Stokelle until she calmed down.
But now, because of the baby, he was trapped like a dog on a leash or a kite tied to a string. He couldn’t leave, nor could he run.
“Mrs. Dorsey…”
Annabelle’s soft voice interrupted them.
Grace panicked. “Why are you out of bed? The doctor said you’re at risk of miscarriage. You need to stay in bed and rest!”
Annabelle’s eyes were reddened. She looked pitiful. “Cam, can you come with me for a second? I want to talk.“.
Cameron frowned deeply. “There’s nothing left for us to say.”
Ever since he found out Annabelle had been behind the things that hurt Cassandra, his attitude toward her had turned cold.
No–it was worse than cold. He viewed her with disgust.
Grace had dragged him to the hospital, but he refused to stay in the room with Annabelle. He’d been wandering the halls this whole time.
Annabelle gave a bitter smile. “So you are disappointed in me.”
“Annabelle, I could’ve given you a comfortable life. But you went after Cassie, and that crossed a line. The only reason I haven’t retaliated is because of the baby. Don’t think I don’t want to.”
