Chapter 362
One Night Surprise Novel
Chapter 362 Getting Spoiled by You âOh, my God! Youâre not going to cry, are you?â
Noticing that Courtney was acting strangely, Cameron poked Courtneyâs shoulder. âWhy are you getting emotional over such a trivial matter? If so, youâll have to bow down before me after I finish making the wedding dress and place it in front of you.â
âDream on!â Courtney glared at Cameron. âIâll never bow down before you.â The feelings Courtney had when she was deeply moved by Cameronâs gesture were now gone.
As Cameron touched her nose, she smiled. âAnyway, I only have one request: You have to make me the maid of honor. Then, you canât get mad at me for bullying the groom.â
âI only have two bridesmaids. If youâre the maid of honor, then Natasha will be the deputy. Whatâs the point?â
âEven so, Iâm still the maid of honor, so my bridesmaid dress has to look different. Iâll design my own dress. As for hers, you can buy it from wherever. I donât care. How else will I be able to show off my status?â Cameron stated arrogantly.
As Cameron mentioned Natasha, Courtney couldnât help but notice the bitterness in her tone. With that, Courtney chuckled and teased, âDo you hate her that much? Because of Bill?â
âBah!â Cameron rolled her eyes. âSo he accepted her as his apprentice. So what? It has nothing to do with me.â
âSo, are you bothered by her relationship with me? That weâre close like sisters?â
âRubbish!â
âThen, are you bothered by the fact that Jordan and Tina like her?â
âPfft!â Infuriated, Cameron shot daggers at Courtney. âAre you done yet? Iâm getting out of here right now!â
Hearing this, Courtney burst out with laughter. âDidnât you say you didnât mind? Did you think that things would change after your hospitalization? Is that why you suddenly cooperated with the doctor to go for treatment?â
âNo.â Cameron denied.
Seeing how Cameron was trying to cover it up, Courtney didnât refute, but she knew the truth.
Cameron was a restless person. Though she promised to cooperate and get hospitalized for treatment, she was always tight-
lipped about her past and never told the doctor the truth. Hence, after two months, Gale had no choice but to call Courtney for help.
After that, Courtney paid little attention to Cameron every time she called her. Courtney would always mention Natasha and tell Cameron how great Natasha was. Natasha had basically replaced her, and this caused her to feel threatened.
Compared to all the pain Cameron buried in her heart, she cared more about her friends and lover. Hence, she was willing to talk about her past even if it caused her agony.
Once she told the truth, she would be treated and not be troubled by it again.
In the afternoon, Gale came back. So, the three of them had a nutritious yet bland meal in the therapy centerâs ward.
Once the nurse walked away, Courtney took out the salsa dip from the first drawer. âI finally understand why you insisted on the phone that I bring some salsa dip. What kind of food is this?â
âGive it to me.â Cameronâs eyes sparkled. âHey, leave some for me. Iâll be staying here for another half a month!â
âAre you sure you can have this?â Courtney asked suspiciously.
âNo.â Just as Gale said so, he took the bottle from Courtney and kept it. Then, he went on with a straight face, âThe therapy center prepared the meals specifically to your condition. You canât have any junk food until you get discharged.â
âThis isnât junk food.â
âYou still canât have it.â With that, he wrapped his arms around the bottle and refused to take it out.
Poor Courtney barely managed to dip her spoon into the bottle. Before she could get a spoonful of the dip, he had already snatched it away. Silently, she licked the spoon and swore that she would never come back during mealtime.
âGale!â Cameron fumed. âAre you out of your mind? Courtney brought it for me!â
âShe didnât know you canât have stuff like this. Otherwise, she wouldnât have brought anything for you.â
Gale was always goofing around, so Courtney didnât expect him to be this scary when he was serious. When he mentioned her all of a sudden, it put her in a difficult position.
Moments later, glancing at Cameronâs nervous gaze, Courtney pointed to the cupboard by the bed and said to him through gritted teeth, âThereâs another bottle in there. There are also some snacks under the bed and lemon curd under the pillow. Oh, there are instant noodles in the toiletâs locker too.â
After taking a deep breath, he searched for those snacks. He then locked them in a cabinet specially prepared to keep snacks that she smuggled into the therapy center as Cameron watched.
At that moment, Cameronâs face turned dark and looked like a deflated balloon. Staring at Courtney and Gale, Cameron said, âUnfriend. Break up.â
Pushing the plate of food to Cameron, he replied, âIâll never break up with you. Not in this lifetime.â
âNo one could ever eat this,â Cameron stared at the food in front of her as if she was looking at a pile of sh*t.
Just as Cameron said so, Courtney watched as Gale held the spoon and took several mouthfuls of the food. The whole time, his face was so emotionless that no one could tell if the food tasted good or otherwise.
Soon, he had finished nearly half the plate of food. Hence, Cameron finally ate the food out of spite. She gobbled down the food as if she was competing with him.
As Courtney watched the both of them gobbling down the food, she wondered if she had lost her sense of taste. Is it possible that the food would taste nicer after having a few mouthfuls?
Hesitantly, Courtney put a spoonful into her mouth. After a long while, she swallowed it reluctantly as she watched Gale trying to coax and threaten Cameron to eat the food.
How sweet! I canât believe that a pampered young master would come all the way here just to accompany her and eat such unappetizing food with her. He must truly love her.
After eating, Courtney figured that Cameron was still mad at her and Gale; she covered her head with the comforter and ignored both of them. Smiling helplessly, Gale walked Courtney out.
âIt seems to me that youâve spoiled her. I canât believe that sheâd get so mad at you for doing things for her sake.â Even Courtney couldnât stand it.
âItâs okay.â He shrugged. âShe just likes the feeling of being tolerated without a bottom line. In fact, sheâd always make a big fuss but end up eating her food obediently.â
âYouâre hopeless.â Clicking her tongue, she eyed him and teased, âSince when did you go crazy?â
âYou seem to be in a good mood. Your divorce must be going well.â Gale laughed.
âYup. Iâm having dinner with Elijah tonight. Weâll chat, and then weâll go to the notary office to apply for divorce tomorrow.â
âThatâs great.â
Watching her beckon a taxi, he dropped his smile. Then, he stepped forward quickly and called after her. âCourtney, donât worry about Cam and I if you get into any trouble. Just remember that Alexanderâs waiting for you to go home.â
