Cameron's words made Michelle's smile fade away.

He said he could not appreciate such high art to show he didn't like her.

Colleen glared at Cameron to warn him to mind his language.

Cameron picked up the phone and stood up, "You eat first. I'm going out for a cigarette."

"What? Cigarette?" Colleen exclaimed from behind, "You smoke?"

Colleen Donovan couldn't believe it.

In her eyes, her son was always an obedient child who had never smoked or even played video games as he grew up.

He had never developed such bad habits though a lot of other boys around him began to smoke or drink alcohol back in the school years.

But now Cameron said he would go out for a cigarette.

Cameron simply ignored what his mother said and left the room.

After he closed the door behind him, Colleen took a few deep breaths to calm down.

Michelle gave her a cup of water and said, "Don't get angry, Mrs. Dauster. It is quite normal for a man to smoke, isn't it?"

Michelle knew exactly what was in Colleen's mind.

Colleen drank a mouthful of water and sighed, "I didn't know he smokes. He has never smoked before he got back from college." Colleen could accept that her son smoked. But she just failed to accept that her son would change so fast.

Michelle continued, "He had been studying hard these years so he might have learned to smoke to relieve his pressure.

Colleen patted her hand and said, "You're so sweet. Every single word you said is what I want to hear, Michelle."

Michelle smiled timidly, "Thank you, Mrs. Dauster."

Colleen thought of Cameron's attitude toward Michelle and started to criticize her son, "Cameron has always been a quiet and introvert kid. He didn't know how to please a girl. Please be more patient with him, Michelle."

Michelle smiled, "I won't, Mrs. Dauster. But I like his personality and his firm attitude. It means he won't get seduced by other women easily."

Michelle's words had won Colleen's heart. Colleen asked her, "You really think so?"

"Of course," Michelle said sincerely, "I know he doesn't like me. But I think I will move him through persistence."

Michelle had a glimpse at Colleen and continued, "Nina Sanchez became his girlfriend in this way, didn't her?"

As she mentioned Nina, Colleen's face seemed a bit weird. She didn't want to mention Nina, especially in Michelle's presence.

"You don't have to mention her. she could not be compared with you." Colleen then changed the topic.

Michelle didn't finish her words.

Colleen didn't like Nina and Michelle knew that.

But now thinking of Cameron who had just went out and the presence of Nina in this restaurant, Michelle felt quite disgusted.

Nina had abandoned Cameron for money and now she tried to approach Cameron again? Otherwise, why she would come to this restaurant?

Other people who didn't know them much all thought it was Nina who wooed Cameron because Nina was merely beautiful but Cameron had a promising future as well as money.

People thought Nina laid her hands on Cameron for his wealth, but they didn't know Cameron was actually deep in love with Nina.

But in Michelle's eyes, Nina was nothing more than a gold-digger.

Though Nina had already become a famous actress, Michelle still thought she didn't deserve Cameron's love.

Cameron got outside the room and went to the end of the corridor. He didn't come out for a smoke. He just wanted to leave Michelle and his mother for a while. He didn't smoke much in his daily life. When he was in good mood, he would smoke, but in most of the time he didn't smoke.

He stood at the end of the corridor with one hand in his pocket and one hand holding his phone.

Before he could figure out whether he should call Nina to explain the Michelle thing or get in their room to explain directly, he received a message from Julian, which read, "Nina got out for a call."

Cameron smiled and then thanked Julian. Then he saw the door of the room opened and Nina got out in black short blouse and black sweatpants with a phone in hand.

Now it was quite popular for young girls to dress like this. Her white and slim waist and her hourglass figure would be shown clearly in this way.

The one who phoned her made her so annoyed that she didn't realize someone was standing at the end of the corridor.

Cameron saw the beauty walked toward him slowly and squinted. From her voice and attitude, he knew it was her parents that called her.

Cameron knew much about her parents. He knew they were greedy and they treated their daughter so bad. In their mind, their daughter was nothing but a tool to earn money.

Before Nina became a famous actress, they even wanted to sell her after she graduated from high school. They didn't care who she would get married with. They just wanted money from her and her husband. After Nina started her career as an actress, they treated their daughter as the piggy bank.

Luckily, Nina didn't let them do whatever they wanted. She would give them a little something they wanted, but she also knew how to decline their rude requests.

Cameron knew all these things from Viggo. He also knew what Nina had done in recent years.☐¶¶¶¶¶¶☐
