Chapter 183 Keep Him Guessing
Upon hearing Camila’s scolding, Kate cried even louder as she understood her bestie’s pure intention. She tearfully forced a
smile and said, “If I really hit Melanie, Landon would definitely come after me and give me a piece of his mind for getting physical
on her girlfriend. After all, she is a woman who’s mild-mannered and clever with words while I just look like a woman who has
nothing better to do than seeking trouble. I’m scared that he’d treat me that way.”
“If Landon cuts ties with you because of Melanie,” Camila said with a pair of glacial eyes, “then I’ll do the same to him and never
hang around with him again!” After hearing Camila’s touching words, her tears began to roll down her cheeks once more as she
wrapped her arms around her best friend. “Camila... Actually, I can’t help but feel upset every time Landon puts me down with
his harsh comments. After all, I’m a woman too. I wanted to believe that having a big mouth was just his personality, but it pained
me to witness his gentle and meek interaction with Melanie, especially when they whispered to each other. Maybe Landon is not
the problem, but I am! I can never be like Melanie!”
Letting out a sigh, Camila patted her back. “What’s so good about being like her? I like who you are right now. Stop crying, Katie.
Be yourself and change for no one else. Those who like you will accept your shortcomings, and the same goes for your haters.
No matter how you change, you’ll never be able to please them. Everyone is unique in his own way, and Landon will never find
someone else just like you. Like it or not, you shouldn’t cramp your style for him because he doesn’t know to appreciate you.
There will always be someone in this world who knows how to treasure you.”
While Kate began to sob again, Camila quickly wiped her tears off. “Come on, stop crying. Melanie would be gleeful to see you
crying. You should act as if Landon was someone that you have just dumped to show her how foolish she was to gloat. The more
vulnerable you look, the happier she gets, and you never know when she’ll come looking for trouble again. What you should do
now is to get yourself a boyfriend and show him to Landon to make him regret! That dude seriously needs to have a checkup on
his eyes for picking a lady like Melanie who dares to mess with us. The next time she ever comes back, you should give her a
piece of your mind and never back down! Let me know if Landon really comes after you, and we’ll deal with him together!”
Tearfully, Kate replied, “But I don’t want to find another man!” Camila was rendered speechless when she heard what Kate said,
but she soon poked her friend’s forehead and said, “You really like to be tortured by Landon, don’t you? You’ve treated him like
your first love, haven’t you?”
Kate wiped her tears while chuckling. “I’m just worried that this woman isn’t serious in dating him. Since Landon likes her so
much, he’d be heartbroken if he realizes she’s
just playing on his feelings the whole time.” “Well, that’d teach him a lesson for choosing that b*tch over you! So, he would have
no one else to blame but himself in that case,” Camila replied. Kate stopped crying. “Am I really ugly right now?” Camila took a
glimpse at her while wiping her tears, saying in a disgusted manner, “Yup, I feel like puking now, in fact. A man like Landon is
beneath him. Come on, wash your face and fix your makeup. Don’t let anyone see how pitiful you are right now because I don’t
want to get embarrassed.” Kate nodded in response as she seemingly didn’t mind Camila’s insults, whereupon she proceeded to
wash her face. Meanwhile, Camila leaned on the wall and looked at her in a casual manner while pondering. “I think you’ve been
by Landon’s side for so long that he’s taken you for granted. So, from now on, you should ignore him, and by that, I mean you
shouldn’t even look at him. If he ever asks you what’s wrong, just tell him you’re afraid that his girlfriend would misunderstand.
Say nothing more and make him guess what’s going on. If he becomes desperate, just tell him that his girlfriend has warned you
to stay away from him. Since she is trying to play dumb, it’s time for you to return the favor. Try to be terse in your words to keep
him guessing. I doubt Landon will stand by and watch you being bullied. After all, I don’t believe your years of friendship with
Landon can’t match that b*tch’s relationship that has only begun a few days ago.”
