The studies are still going well. Went to Y Country as an exchange student, just got back these days, and preparing for an internship. Planning to stay in Cloud Capital for future development.
She was saving up the idea that once Camden River returned, she’d help match the two together.
Who could have thought—
Camden River returned with a girlfriend.
Chloe Smith wasn’t very pleased, neither were Windsor Myres and Camden River. They silently walked back together.
Rosy Harris walked beside Chloe Smith, then slightly fell behind a bit after a while, took out a wet wipe from her bag, and tapped Camden River’s back.
Camden River turned his head to glance at her, looking puzzled.
Rosy Harris smiled lightly and pointed to the corner of her lips. Suddenly, Camden River understood, took the wet wipe, fell a bit behind too, and lowered his head to wipe off that lipstick mark.
His face turned blue and white alternately.
Rosy Harris then whispered, "Your girlfriend’s pretty, a college classmate?"
"Mm." Camden River clutched the wet wipe, nodding.
Feeling somewhat indescribably awkward inside, Rosy Harris was his classmate, an upperclassman of school beauty level, probably graduated from college by now.
But—
He knew she became their neighbor, but how come he didn’t know she’d gotten so close with his mother?
Camden River was deep in thought.
Windsor Myres glanced sideways at him, and her mood suddenly hit rock bottom. She bit her lip and whispered, "Is she your childhood sweetheart?"
"Don’t talk nonsense." Camden River lowered his voice, even shot her a look.
It was indeed too sudden.
Ever since Windsor Myres called him earlier, everything was completely unforeseen.
Especially being witnessed by his mother, his feelings were really indescribable, unbearably awkward.
The four of them didn’t say much on the way.
After a while, they finally reached the door.
Knowing Camden River was right behind, his cousin didn’t close the door, left it ajar, Chloe Smith was at the front, pushed the door open and went in, the other three followed suit.
First floor, in the living room.
Troy River was talking with Cousin River, looked up and saw a few people walking in.
"Dad." Camden River took a couple steps to the coffee table, called Troy River, pursed his lips with a gentle smile and introduced, "This is my girlfriend, Windsor Myres."
After he spoke, he looked at Windsor Myres again and said warmly, "My dad, my cousin."
"Hello uncle, hello cousin." Windsor Myres quickly said.
"Don’t be constrained since you’re here." Troy River nodded, stood up and smiled, "Sit down and make yourself at home."
Troy River had his son in middle age, usually quite affectionate, though his demeanor was rigid and solemn, a professor with students all over the world, even with gray hair, his smile couldn’t make people feel relaxed, quite stern.
This sternness was somewhat different from Cesar Myres’ sternness.
A bit...
Windsor Myres distractedly thought, suddenly remembered that old-fashioned Professor Lee in the academy.
Camden River’s father was exactly like that old stickler.
Thinking of Professor Lee, Windsor Myres’ mood became even worse. To know, Professor Lee was the catalyst for her breakup with Camden River.
Windsor Myres nodded, pursed her lips and sat on the sofa.
The initial excitement of visiting the River Family for the first time disappeared, Camden River’s such parents made her exceedingly agitated.
Too formal, too stern.
