Chapter 170
After hearing Laura utter those words directly at him, Cameron's heart sank to
rock bottom. He didn’t say anything more.
He admitted that she was a high and mighty woman and he was just a lowly
bodyguard in her eyes. He thought that perhaps when a princess is distressed,
she might develop a fondness for the knight who
rescued her.
But he believed such feelings tend to fade quickly with time. Once the princess
came to her senses, she would realize a knight was just a knight. Her true
destiny lay with a prince.
With that, he left amidst the laughter and humiliation from the Jones family. The
farewell letter Laura had written him was clenched tightly in his hand before it
was crumpled into a ball.
He wallowed in despair for days. Then, he decided to leave Yrando. That incident
made him realize what men truly needed—power and status.
He began to leverage his global contacts and accumulated resources over the
years. He established his own company. With his talents, he crushed all his rivals
along the way. Eventually, he reached the pinnacle of fame and fortune.
Then, he found the woman who lent him a hand in his time of desperation. He
had traced her identity through a pink butterfly hair clip. It was Madison who had
the identical hair clip.
It was something the woman had lost long ago.
Cameron chose to step back from the limelight and handed everything over to
Lord Blackheart to
manage.
However, it turned out to be a misunderstanding. The woman who had helped
him wasn’t Madison. It was Dakota instead. The hair clips came in pairs, one for
each woman. The one he found belonged to
Dakota.
It was Dakota who gave him her only piece of bread on that cold winter day. She
told him to stay strong, promising that life would eventually be great.
That single statement had motivated him for over a decade. Without her, a man
ousted from his family like him due to illness twelve years ago might have ended
up frozen on the streets.
Now, Cameron was here to repay Dakota. He wanted to give her everything he
could offer. He wouldn't let Dakota suffer any harm, including from himself. That's
why he hesitated to reveal the truth about him and Laura to Dakota. He feared
that his lies would hurt her.
He never imagined their relationship would evolve like this before seeing Laura
again. He thought he would always face Laura with a cold expression, avoiding
her at all costs. But upon their actual interaction, his heart appeared to act
independent of his intentions.
In Cameron's recent encounters with Laura, he realized that the events which
unfolded seven years ago might not have been that simple. He wondered why
Laura would ask those strange questions at

the waterfront that evening If she genuinely felt nothing for him.
Cameron also pondered why she insisted he agree to her demands, like
attending the ceremony.
