Windsor Myres, however, wouldn’t let go. After over two years without seeing him, she wanted to hug him.
Not just hug; she wanted to kiss him too.
Windsor Myres turned her head and planted a kiss on Camden River’s lip corner. Just as she noticed Camden looking a bit flustered and was about to laugh, suddenly, a surprised female voice sounded beside her, "Camden?"
Camden River hastily pushed her away from his embrace, his face flushed, saying, "Mom."
This address startled Windsor Myres, and she quickly looked up to meet a pair of scrutinizing eyes.
However—
Those eyes weren’t scrutinizing her, but Camden River.
There was a lipstick mark on Camden River’s lip corner.
After finishing their junior year, they started internships, and she mostly lingered around her family’s restaurant, naturally wearing makeup. So it was normal for a mark to be left on Camden’s lip corner after she kissed him. But she hadn’t expected to bump into Camden River’s mother under such circumstances.
Camden River was also a bit stunned.
Since childhood, he’s been the well-behaved kid in his parents’ eyes, the good student in teachers’ eyes, simply that type of kid from other families.
He started dating Windsor Myres right after entering college, and since it was still early, he hadn’t told his parents. Later, they split, and he went abroad, naturally not mentioning it. He had originally planned to bring it up during this visit home to give his parents a heads-up.
But this wasn’t the situation he expected at all.
Caught off guard and awkward beyond measure, he didn’t know what to say for the moment.
Windsor Myres regained composure and smiled, "Hello, Auntie."
After greeting, she instinctively glanced towards the girl accompanying Chloe Smith and pressed her lips without speaking.
The girl looked at her, smiling generously, "Hello, I’m Camden River’s classmate and neighbor, Rosy Harris; you can call me Rosy."
Rosy?
Windsor Myres stared at the girl without speaking.
The smile, hair, physique, and demeanor—a living replica of Blair Chester!
Camden River’s classmate and neighbor?
Isn’t that like childhood friends? How come she had never heard Camden mention her?
Absolutely intolerable!
Windsor Myres raised her gaze to Camden River, who finally snapped back to reality, introducing, "Mom, this is my girlfriend, Windsor Myres."
"Hmm."
Camden River’s mother, Chloe Smith, is a dance teacher, tall and already over fifty, maintaining a slender and graceful figure. She wore a pale beige embroidered cotton dress with ethnic design, and her dark hair was styled in a bun with a white jade hairpin, exuding an elegant, orchid-like aura.
After responding reluctantly, she addressed Camden River in a cool tone, "Rosy came over in the morning. Upon hearing you’re coming back today, she even planned to show off her cooking skills, went with me to the seafood market to buy some fish and shrimp. Why didn’t you say in advance when bringing your girlfriend home?"
Camden River softly explained, "Wanted to surprise you and Dad."
No joy, but indeed a surprise.
Chloe Smith glanced at Windsor Myres again, but no matter how she looked, she found it hard to develop a liking.
Moreover—
She never imagined that her son would be fond of this type of girl, bold in style and curvaceous.
Chloe Smith gave Rosy Harris a helpless smile.
She hadn’t known Rosy very long, only about two years. They met during morning runs, and after chatting, discovered Rosy was actually Camden’s classmate, especially as the two families ended up buying houses in the same area, becoming neighbors.
With such a deep connection, naturally, there were more interactions.
They have only Camden River as their son, and Rosy, during vacations, occasionally visits them. Chloe Smith had discreetly tested twice, knowing Rosy originally had an interest in their son, satisfied with her, thus revealing Camden River’s recent situations to her from time to time.
