One Night Surprise

Chapter 148 Are You Going to Tell Him?

“Don’t be so rash. Oliver hasn’t even graduated yet, and he still doesn’t remember what happened back then. Who knows? He might already have a girlfriend.”

Based on her understanding of Cameron, Courtney knew that whenever she started paying attention to a man, it most likely meant that she was interested in him.

So much about Gale being a jerk. They’re both equally bad, Courtney mused.

“Why do you sound like my mom?” Cameron scowled at her. “I only asked a question. Why are you acting like I’ve already made a move on him?”

“You were thinking about it.”

Cameron flung a pillow at her. “Don’t you have fantasies, too? What’s so wrong about being attracted to a young man?”

“Whatever. Don’t you think I don’t know you? It’s just a spur of the moment. Go and watch some Korean dramas about older women dating younger men and forget about your feelings. I think Gale treats you really well. He always listens to what you say.”

“He listens to any female person.”

At the mention of Gale, Cameron’s spirits fell, and she slowly looked away from the kitchen. “A tiger never changes its stripes.”

“What happened? Did he flirt with another woman again? Aren’t things going well these days?”

“Just because he doesn’t flirt with them doesn’t mean no one comes up to him first. He’s not like Alexander who has always been a man with integrity. Gale is infamous out there. Do you really expect him to clean up his act and be able to hold himself back? We’re all adults here. If we want to have a peaceful life, we just have to feign ignorance.”

Seeing how downhearted Cameron was made Courtney upset.

“Cameron, don’t dwell on the past. We have to live life looking ahead. You don’t have to constantly be afraid of looking forward to the future. Don’t try to bear all the burden on your own and pretend like you don’t care about anything. Besides, the things that happened in the past might never happen again.”

explained, “I’m not bothered by the past. You saw how I was back then. People’s futures are in their hands, but mine is not. It’s better not to have expectations or expect too much from others. I’m content
