    Chapter 222 International Phone Call


    Ss was observing her while standing not too far away. She was pretending to be strong, but in reality,


    she was in a vulnerable state. After the incidentst night, she has been challenged physically, and her


    mental state has been stretched to the limit. She wants to rely on someone and speak to someone. In


    fact, she wants to let go and cry, but she feels as if she doesn’t have a person to do that with. She has


    never taken me into consideration! She’d rather make an international call to find sce in that man’s


    voice than to lean against my shoulder! Ss pressed the tip of his tongue against his teeth. This is such


    a horrible feeling. I apanied her to look for South the entire night, and so I am the best person to


    understand what she has gone through. I thought that by allowing me to stay overnight, it signified her


    willingness to allow me to get closer to her. Unfortunately, that is only true in the absence ofparison.


    I don’t even have to guess to know that the man on the other end of the line must be the senior she can’t


    stop talking about This feeling is truly infuriating. I have never met him, but he is already a threat to me. I


    just figured that I should let nature take its course, and we’d end up forging a rtionship naturally.


    However, right now, I’m afraid that she might decide to up and leave to return to Mastar!


    Finally, she hung up on the call, but she sat motionlessly on the couch. Her head was bowed, and she


    most probably hadn’t recovered from her nightmare. Ss walked to her before sitting beside her. “You’d


    rather make an international call than to speak with me?” he asked in a husky voice. Cam turned to


    look at him, and she saw that he was wearing a ck silk pajama. The material hung loosely on his


    body, but a small part of his tanned sculpted abdomen was exposed. It looked firm and sexy. She looked


    away hastily while exining, “No, it’s just that I hadn’t phoned them for the longest time. You should go


    back to sleep. It’ll be daybreak if you don’t sleep soon.” With that, she stood up to leave, but Ss


    grabbed onto her. Then, he stood up gradually and made his way to her front. He stared at her fixedly


    with his deep and dark eyes that looked like the vast and endless ocean…


    “South told me that it’s not easy to pursue you, and so I’ve never thought of forcing you. I thought that I’d


    be able to make my way into your heart as long as I interact with you naturally. But today, you are not theC0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    only one affected because I am too! My heart is aching, for not only South, but for you too! I’d rather you


    lean against me and cry


    your eyes out than to see you act as if everything is fine. You are not alone; you have me. Why don’t you


    see me at all? Can’t you lean on my shoulder too?” Cam shut her eyes slightly when she spoke, “Ss,


    don’t force me. I do not want to discuss this today.” She was truly not in the mood. “No way!” Ss


    sounded domineering and forceful while grabbing onto her. Cam looked up at him.


    He met her gaze, and his dark eyes appeared deep and bottomless. “In your heart, am I not as reliable


    as that international phone call?” Cam inhaled deeply. “Ss, I’m very grateful aboutst night,”


    However, Ss cut her off before she couldplete her sentence, “Cam, you know what I want to


    hear! I have never wanted your gratitude. I just don’t understand; am | so negligible? Do you know how


    happy I was when you came looking for me today? I thought that I was your first choice. I thought that I


    was the one you shared your joys, worries and feelings with. However, I just realized that you are still the


    same, and that you still have your principles. You are neither in a hurry norgging behind; you aren’t too


    far away nor are you too close. It doesn’t matter even when I give my all to get closer to you…” Cam


    looked into his eyes, and her heart clenched painfully. She suddenly felt as if she shouldn’t be treating


    him in such a way, especially after going through tonight. She felt that she was being ungrateful. Hence,


    Cam tried to exin in a panic, “No, in all honesty, I feel grounded when you’re beside me.” Ss


    stared at her while asking her aggressively, “But you don’t feel grounded enoughpared to a phone


    call from your senior; am I right?”
