As expected, Cameron's phone call came not long after she arrived home.

As soon as Nina picked up the phone, Cameron's accusation came to her ears, "The first thing you did when you got back to Riverside City was not to look for your husband but to catch up with your friends, and I didn't even know you were coming back. Mrs. Dauster, how brilliant."

Nina hurriedly explained, "I thought you were busy right now, so I'll tell you after you get off work and give you a surprise... Who'd have thought I'd get caught while getting a cup of coffee."

"Huh." Cameron gave her this disgruntled sneer back, showing how irritated he was.

It was ridiculous that his wife was back from out of town, and he, the husband, had learned about it from the news.

Nina knew he would be angry, so she softened her voice and coaxed, "It's all my fault; you can punish me any way you want..."

After all, the man on the other side of the phone is the one she has loved since she was a young girl, so how could Nina not know how to tame him? The softness of her tone, a bit of coaxing and teasing made him stop being angry.

The woman's soft, teasing voice made Cameron's mouth go dry for a while, and since he hadn't seen her for a long time, he couldn't help but raise his hand and tug at the tie around his neck, then solemnly declare, "No matter how busy I am, I'll be there if you call me."

God knows he had just surfed the internet in his spare time at work, and as soon as he turned on his phone, he saw that she was on the hot topic.

That coffee shop was Riverside City's, and she was back? She had come back.

Cameron didn't know what kind of mood he was in for a moment, annoyed and jubilant at the same time.

Nina nestled into the sofa and continued to soothe the man on the other end, "I know how you feel about me, but I don't want to be the Helen of Troy either; I still want you to be able to balance your work and your life."

Nina meant what she said, and Cameron knew she was thinking of him more than anything else.

So, he simply lowered his voice and said, "Wait for me at my place."
