Chapter 319


    Tension flickered in her eyes as she heard my question. She cast a nervous nce at me and


    hesitantly admitted, "I did ask once, but he blew up, saying it was none of my business. So I didn''t dare


    to ask again."


    "Why are you so afraid of him?" I chuckled, looking at Cami. "As his wife, isn''t it natural for you to


    ask?"


    "Well... it''s not that I''m afraid of him exactly. I just feel that he is a grown man, and he should know his


    boundaries for what he does. Too many questions could lead to disputes, and I''d be the one to suffer."

    "Has he... everid a hand on you?" I ventured to ask.


    She was quick to deny, "No, never! He may be a bit stubborn at times, but he never hit me."


    After saying this, Cami looked at me with a hint of suspicion. "Did something happen to him?"


    I hastily denied, "No, I was just asking out of curiosity."


    "Oh..." she responded with an awkwardugh. "He''s a free spirit, always doing as he pleases. No one


    can really control him, not even his own parents."


    I nodded in agreement. For a daughter-inw in the Dawson family, this was amon topic.


    "Speaking of which, Jan is no better!" I said, trying to create a bond with her.


    "But he''s much better than his older brother. He treats you well and is dutiful to his parents," Cami


    praised.


    Hearing her admiration, I couldn''t help but wonder. Considering their collusion, could she really be


    oblivious to their schemes?


    Treating me well? He was treating all women well except for me. He was always putting on airs of


    elegance and aloofness, yet easily surrendering at the sight of a woman.


    I decided to probe her a bit, "Both of them have their issues. I knew about Jan''s before I got sick, but


    now... Who knows? Did you hear about the incident that happened a while ago?"


    Cami seemed taken aback and then earnestly asked, "What? What incident? I really don''t know!"


    Afraid I might not believe her, she quickly added, "Aaliyah, you have to understand, although we''re still


    technically married, it feels like we''re only bound by thew. I bet most people outside don''t even know


    he has a wife. And certainly, nobody knows that I am his wife."


    "That can''t be true!" Iughed.


    "But it is!" she sighed. "I''m not lying. For years, he rarely takes care of me and Fidelia. Even in this very


    building, not many people know him!


    If it weren''t for his asional visits, I wouldn''t even feel connected to the Dawson family. Except for


    you, no one in the Dawson family pays any attention to us!"


    This caught her interest, and she asked, "What happened?"


    "How did you find out?"


    "I was feeling a bit better and missed Probert, so I went to pick him up from school. That''s when I saw


    it," I admitted. "So I brought Probert back home. His grandmother caused quite a scene because of


    that. I wish they would just leave us alone!"


    I shook my head, a bitter smile on my face.


    Cami was shocked by my story, "That actually happened?"
