similar to the one they were in.

They stared at Eugene who got out of the car in the distance in surprise. It turned out that he did come alone with a

box in his hands. The sea breeze made him appear somewhat lonely as he strode toward them along the shore.

Cameron's pupils contracted, and he stood up suddenly as he gawked at Azalea with a puzzled expression.

"Eugene actually came to rescue you? Didn't Olivia call him?"

Azalea, on the other hand, was overjoyed. "How could she not have called? I knew Eugene has feelings for me!

See? He chose to come and save me at this critical moment. He only feels responsible for Olivia because they have

children together. He truly loves me! Our feelings over the years can't be fake, can they?"

Excited as she was, she remained oblivious to the gradually darkening expression on Cameron's face. She

continued to beckon to him, "Cameron! Hurry up and tie my hands and feet up. Make sure I look pitiful."

"Whotever you wont, Olivio." Eugene sighed indulgently.
