Cameron had a nice time dining with his parents. Because of what happened last night, perhaps, neitherRandall nor Colleen mentioned work stuff.
At the end of the dinner, Colleen asked kind of cautiously, "Well, I mean, Cameron, I was thinking about holding a party for you tomorrow, to celebrate your return. What do you think about it?"
She then added, fearing that Cameron would refuse, "They missed you. Your grandparents, your uncle, and everyone."
Cameron didn't hesitate. "I think I'm switched to the local time. I should visit them actually."
"It's alright. They want you to rest well." Colleen then added, "So, shall I book the restaurant?"
"Okay." Cameron had nothing against the idea.
He couldn't avoid this party after going back from abroad.
But he was thinking about something else. His grandparents from his father's side were all alive. But they only had one son.
Colleen's parents had passed away when Cameron was still a kid. But Colleen had a brother, who was a famous engineer, named Joshua Donovan.
Joshua was very attentive to Colleen. Colleen listened to everything he said. And Randall listened to Colleen's order.
Cameron's grandparents never meddled with his thing. And his grandmother adored beauty. So, she would definitely like Nina.
So, the only person Cameron needed to persuade was his uncle.
As long as Cameron's uncle Joshua accepted Nina, every problem was solved.
After dinner, Cameron went back to his room. As soon as he disappeared from the kitchen, Colleen sighed. "I planned to invite Michelle to the party tomorrow. But now it looks like a bad idea."
The girl Colleen mentioned was Michelle Byrd, Uncle Byrd's daughter. The two families were colleagues and friends. They were very familiar with each other since the children were still young.
Now the children were all adults. Cameron was handsome and gentle. Michelle Byrd was beautiful and elegant. They were both outstanding among their peers. That was why their parents wanted to ship them.
Besides, Colleen also heard from Michelle's mother that the girl liked his son. So, the wish was even stronger. However, she didn't have the chance because both Michelle and Cameron were studying abroad.
Now, they have both returned. And they were both at the age of getting married. Colleen wanted them to meet. Things wouldn't be better if they could hit it off.
But after what happened last night, Colleen thought she'd better quit the idea this time.
Randall nodded, "Yup. It's not the right timing."
He then said, "He is not even having a career. That's not part of the plan. How would Michelle think about it."
Colleen felt ashamed. "Yes, right. I don't even know how to face Michelle's family."
Michelle majored in art and was now a painter. She became a teacher at university after returning abroad. And she was going to hold an exhibition of her work in a couple of days. She was a success now. And in comparison, their son had given up both the research institute and the colleges. Such a shame.
Randall got up and waved his hand with a headache, "Forget it, I don't want to mind about his business now. As long as he doesn't steal or rob, he can do whatever he wants."
Cameron had always been a model student over the years. Randall had never needed to worry about him. No one knew what made him so rebellious now.
Nina had abandoned him for money, yet he was fixing their letters. He couldn't even abandon the letters.
After flipping through the letters, he picked up the hair bands.
Nina had beautiful hair. She looked stunning with her hair down.
She had been outstanding in the crowd since a young age.
If she refused, he would do it by himself.
They were a sweet couple. Recalling the old memories made his heartache.
The phone case was a birthday gift from her. She drew the two carton figures and then customized the phone cases.
She wasn't a good drawer. But her drawing was cute in his eyes. He used that phone case until they graduated.
And all other stuff was their memories too.
At this time, he got a notification on his phone. It turned out that Nina had posted a photo in which she had short hair. The caption under said, "I've cut my hair, my past shall go with it."
Cameron turned to the hair bands in his drawer. He was reminiscence about her beautiful hair, but she had already cut it?!
