Chapter 515


    Cami was looking and feeling quite different today, and I couldn''t quite put my finger on what had


    changed. I guessed that she was just thrilled to be picking up Fidelia.


    There was an unmistakable aura about her, a far cry from the ostrich with her head in the sand that I''d


    known before.


    "Cami, I''m genuinely happy to see you," I said after she finished exchanging pleasantries with the


    kids and approached her.


    "Aaliyah, you''ve been such a gem. I didn''t want to trouble you with driving Fidelia back and forth, so I


    decided toe get her myself. Needed a little break, and thought I''d pop by to visit your parents."


    Cami''s smile was so down-to-earth.


    Her words were beyond reproach.


    "I''ve never been to Silverdale City, and after seeing all the photos and videos Fidelia sent me, I just


    couldn''t resist the urge. So, I took this chance to visit. I didn''t give you a heads-up, hope I’m not


    intruding."


    She finished with an awkward grin, nervously swallowing.


    Hannah, hearing this, grabbed her things and left, clearly done with the conversation.


    I kept my smile bright, "Cami, please, you''re always wee here, though you''ve picked a bit of a


    tight time. School''s starting in just a few days, and I wish you could stay longer."


    After saying that, I gestured for her to follow, "Let''s head back, and my mom''s cooking knowing you''re


    "How could I let her go to all that trouble?" she replied, reaching out to pick up Carl.


    Carl shrugged off her hand, "No, I want Mommy to hold me."


    She paused, looking at me with a hint of embarrassment. I quickly exined, "Carl had a bit of a scare


    recently, and now he''s all clingy and doesn''t want anyone else."


    "What happened?" she asked, her face a picture of concern.


    "We can talk about itter because he understands everything," I whispered, not wanting to discuss the


    matter in front of Carl.


    Cami nodded. "OK."


    I got Carl down and took his hand, leading him gently because he was getting too heavy for me to


    carry.

    As we walked and talked, I showed Cami the sights of Oldtown Avenue.


    She looked around with envy, asking cautiously, "Is all of this yours?"


    I smiled lightly, "Not all of it, a lot of it ismunal."


    She sighed, "How did Jan just...?"


    She nced at me and didn''t finish her sentence.


    I didn''t respond, thinking to myself that even if I hadn''t divorced him, he wouldn''t have any stake in this


    ce.


    Once home, Cami eximed, "Aaliyah, I know this ce like the back of my hand. Fidelia has shown


    me photos, saying the house from the Wilburn family is grand. And it truly is, even more so than in the


    pictures."


    Her eyes sparkled with curiosity, a look of greed I had never seen in her before.


    Cami kept marveling, "Such grandeur, it must cost a pretty penny to buy a ce like this now, right?"


    She took Carl from me, "Come on, there''s lots of yummy food. I will show you."


    Carl''s drool started flowing at the mention of food. He pped his hands, "I want to eat."


    As we entered the living room, my mom hurried out of the kitchen.


    After the pleasantries, Cami was in the kitchen regardless of my mom''s protests. She had an excuse


    for everything, leaving my mom bemused and looking to me for answers. I just shrugged, letting her be.

    My mom joined her in the kitchen, and soon it was bustling more than the living room.


    Dinner was a lively affair, with Galen even inviting the Damon family over since Fidelia had grown close


    to them during her stay.


    We atete into the night, the conversation flowing freely.


    But what I didn''t expect was the unpleasant incident that unfolded in the middle of the night.
