Going back to his room, the more Randall thought about it, the angrier he got. He covered himself with a blanket.
After finishing her skincare, Colleen asked, "What's wrong?"
Randall felt ashamed of being defeated by his son.
He came out from the blanket and said, "We should leave him alone, even if he wants to be with Nina."
He suspected that Cameron had acted weirdly just to prepare for being with Nina. However, he had no evidence, because Cameron had never mentioned Nina yet.
Colleen felt kind of nervous hearing the name Nina. "Did he tell you that he was going to be together with her?"
Colleen wanted to forget about the name. However, Nina was so popular over the years. Colleen just couldn't avoid her.
When she bought cosmetics, she found Nina endorsed her favorite brands.
When she bought jewelry, it was Nina's endorsement again.
When she watched TV, Nina was everywhere.
The same was true with movies.
Even when she went on shopping. Nina's face was all over the place. Nina was dazzlingly beautiful. Those big posters of her smile made Colleen dizzy.
Even after years, she still remembered Nina clearly.
She liked 'Princess Leilania' very much. She watched all the episodes although she was against Nina.
Yet she had to admit, Nina's role was charming.
Every time she watched an episode, she would persuade herself by saying that she liked the role Nina played, not Nina. And it was all the writer's credits.
Facing Colleen's intense questioning, Randall shook his head and said, "He didn't say anything about staying with Nina."
Colleen was puzzled, "Then why did you suddenly say that?"
Randall opened his mouth. But then he felt that his son's mind was beyond words. So, he said, "Just let him be."
He meant to say that Cameron wouldn't listen to them anyway. But he didn't want Colleen to be angry, although it was the fact.
Colleensnorted, "Do you think I want to care about his business? I'm just doing it for his own good."
Colleen said seriously, "Think about it. How can he live a peaceful life with such a woman?"
"Nina is filming outside all day. She is close with different actors each day. How could our son accept that?"
Randall replied, "You are talking as if all the people whose partner is actor are living a miserable life."
Colleen was speechless.
When she came to her senses, she slapped him angrily, "What do you mean? Are you standing with him?"
"I'm not. I was just..." Randall didn't finish his sentence.
He meant to say that it was just because he could do nothing about it.
"Just what?" Colleen asked.
He had been devoted to the girl he liked.
Joshuagot it immediately.
He glanced at Cameron, then looked ahead and said, "It is a good thing to be devoted. However, you're too young. How many people have you met? How many times have you fallen in love? How many changes have you gone through?"
"You are not devoted. You don't want to let go of something you have never had."
Cameron retorted, "I've never been a naive person, and I'll never have those special feelings for things I don't get."
Besides, it was not something he had never had.
He once had that girl. He was once madly in love with her.
They were nearly straight to the point. So Cameron said simply, "And I don't think it's necessary to fall in love for a few times more. For me, falling in love once was enough."
Joshuaraised his eyebrows. "So, you've made all this fuss just to be with Nina?"
Cameron turned his head away. "You guys all think that her family doesn't match with mine. So I made myself homeless to match with her."
She is now the most famous actress. And I am nobody. I am the one not good enough for her." Cameron's words were somewhat resentful.
He always thought that his parents were well educated and his family was reasonable. That was why he was so committed at the beginning. He thought he would be blessed by the whole family.
However, his family was deeply biased. They insisted that Nina was not good enough for him. They ruined their relationship.
He had the reason to be resentful.
