Chapter 493
Elijah walked faster and faster, eventually breaking into a fun. He ran until he was gasping for breath, finally stopping to catch his breath.
When he looked up, he was in an unfamiliar area. Sweat poured down his forehead as he turned around Cameron was nowhere in sight yet his heart kept pounding wildly in his chest.
Clutching his chest, Elijah wondered, ‘What’s wrong with me?‘
He hadn’t even been able to meet Cameron’s eyes earlier. Why was he acting so oddly? He couldn’t understand his own behavior.
He hailed a taxi and returned to Moore Manor.
Though the main family wasn’t home, Jack and the servants stayed faithfully at their posts. Hearing Elijah arrive, they greeted him with warm smiles
“Mr. Moore.”
“Good evening, Mr. Moore.”
“Welcome back, Mr. Moore.” Jack was especially glad to see him.
Elijah had said he wouldn’t be home for a while, but he’d returned after just one night.
Elijah nodded in response.
“You don’t look well, Mr. Moore,” Jack said with concern, signaling for a servant to bring a warm towel.
Wiping the sweat from his face, Elijah said, “I’m just tired.”
Jack quickly helped him sit down. “Is your job too tiring? If it is, you can always find another one.”

They were close, and there were things Elijah would share with Jack that he’d never tell Thomas or Beverly.
Jack discreetly signaled for the servants in the living room to leave.
Then he handed Elijah a glass of ice water and asked with a warm smile, “Yes, Mr. Moore? What would you like to ask?”
Elijah said, “Jack, suppose someone can’t bring themselves to look another person in the eye. What does that mean?”
Jack was caught off guard by the question and hesitated for a moment.
Then he quickly smiled knowingly, “Mr. Moore, could you have a crush on someone?”
At these words, Elijah’s eyes widened in shock. He could hardly believe what he was hearing
He thought, ‘A crush? Does avoiding eye contact really mean I like someone? But that’s Cameron! Cameron! How could that be?‘
Noticing Elijah’s silence, Jack chuckled, ” must be right. Mr. Moore, this is great news! Now that you’ve graduated high school and are heading to
