Chapter 345
Cameron paused for a second before asking, "Are you... asking me to stay?"
"Yeah." Dakota nodded, fluttering her long lashes. She didn't want Cameron to leave just yet and would like to spend more time with him.
"Sure," he agreed.
In all honesty, he wanted to stay by her side and take care of her. However, it was so awkward earlier that he came up with an excuse to leave.
Dakota's eyes lit up. "That's great!"
"Silly lass." Looking at her beautiful face, Cameron smiled warmly.
"You're the silly one. You didn't drink despite being thirsty." She snorted softly, looking incredibly adorable.
"That's because I was focused," Cameron answered with a laugh.
"Here, drink from mine," she offered, passing the glass to him.
Cameron chuckled. "Okay."
Without delving deeper, he took the glass from her and dranks gulps of water while Dakota watched the rolling movement of his throat. Then, her
gaze shifted to the cup rim where his lips were touching.
That was the spot where she had drank from earlier. Was this an indirect kiss between them? While her thoughts were running wild, blood rushed to
her cheeks.
Just then, Jane knocked on the door. "Dakota, Cameron! Get ready for dinner. Your dad is coming home soon."
Dakota jumped and took a few breaths to calm herself before saying, "Okay, Mom. I got it." Still blushing, she turned to Cameron. "Let's go, Cameron
Let's get out of the room.”
"Sure." Cameron set down the glass and didn't notice the embarrassment on her face, assuming that she was flushed because the room was a littleNôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
warm.
After dinner, the friendly Jane invited Cameron to stay for the night. This time, he agreed readily. As Dakota was injured, he could take better care of
her if he stayed.
Jane smiled when he agreed without hesitation. It seemed to her that this couple was about to take the next step in their relationship soon.
"Dakota, the breeze today is cool. Why don't you go for a walk with Cameron?" Jane suggested.

"Okay, Mom." Although Dakota had no idea about any of that, she did want to have a stroll alone with Cameron.

Next to her, Cameron was equally nervous. "Dakota... it's really a little cold today...”
In order to lessen the awkwardness in the air, Cameron initiated a conversation. However, the topic he had chosen was very forced, as he didn't have
any experience in this aspect.
"Yes... Itis a little cold," Dakota replied, her eyes wavering.
"Should we go that way? It looks like something is happening there."
"Alright."
Chatting casually, they walked toward the corner of the park where most of the people were.
