Chapter 1306
Lily looked around as she exited the car. It was not far from what she had imagined. With Cameron's
identity, it was not a good idea for him to live too extravagantly. Hence, he stayed in an ordinary, two-
story bungalow which looked elegant from the outside.
After entering the house, a maid served Lily some tea and desserts. "Ms. Rollins will be down soon."
Lily nodded, and the maid left to do her work. The house was spacious, and because there was not
much furniture and appliances around, it made the space look even more prominent. She could see
almost everything in the living room at one glance.
There were not many luxurious or expensive things here, and it appeared that Cameron was just as
Alexander had described. Cameron was a meticulous man in many aspects.
There were a few decorative items in the living room as well. A few pots of bonsai were in sight, and

While looking around, Lily heard slow and heavy footsteps coming from the stairs. A moment later,
Anastasia came into her sight.
Anastasia had one hand on the stairs' handle as she descended the steps slowly, coughing from time
to time. Despite her appearance, she looked like a young lady from a wealthy family.
"I must've kept you waiting for a while, Mrs. Russell,” Anastasia said softly, contrasting her aggressive
side in the cafe back then. She had her gaze lowered, looking much gentler this time.
"I just arrived." Lily stood up respectfully. "Sorry for visiting so abruptly. Did I interrupt your rest?”
Anastasia waved. "There's no such thing. I have nothing to do every day anymore. I just eat and sleep
all day long."
She sounded tired and somewhat upset. Lily knew Anastasia was unhappy and that the young lady
was just pretending to be ostentatious because that was how she protected herself.
Anastasia did that because she did not want others to look at her strangely, and she did not want to be
the talk of their gossip. Hence, she believed she had to show that she was not someone to be messed
with.
"I love the agarwood you gave me last time, but I bet it was costly," Lily expressed the intention of her
visit first, indicating that she was here to return a gift.
Although she gave her dress to Anastasia the other time, that was just because of a misunderstanding
between them. Even if she bought a dress for the young lady, it would not suffice compared to the
agarwood.
It was indeed out of Lily's expectations to receive something so costly from Anastasia. The price was
not what astounded her the most, but the fact that Anastasia knew what she wanted. Lily loved the
agarwood, and that was the most important thing.
"Oh, is that so?" Anastasia raised her brow, appearing like she did not know about it. She was not
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpretending to be a show-off, but she honestly had no idea about it. "I don't know much about those
things. My friend gave it to me before, but I don't know how to take care of these things.
"I heard you love plants and have many at home, so I thought it’d be a good idea to gift them to you.
I'm glad that you like them!"
"Of course I do!" It turned out that Anastasia had no idea how expensive her gift was, but Lily still
thanked her sincerely.
'The agarwood is something precious and costly. Won't you regret giving it to me just like that?"
"Why would I? No matter how precious it is, it's a waste for someone who knows nothing about it to
keep. It'll only be valuable in your hands. Since you like it, gifting it to you was worth it!"
Anastasia waved and lifted her legs naturally as she lay on the couch.
While looking at Lily, she asked, "You wouldn't mind me talking to you in this position, would you?"
