Chapter 527
As soon as the words left my mouth, I could feel Cami''s quizzical gaze burning into me.
I rushed to rify, "Cami, what I mean is simple. Right now, I can''t give in to her request, at least not
this time!"
Cami''s eyes were brimming with confusion as she asked, "Why not?"
After a moment, I carefully replied. I knew all too well the kind of person Cami was and her emotional
resilience. If I didn''t exin myself clearly, she might misconstrue my words as a sign of disrespect or
rejection. On the other hand, much like the Dawson family''s way of thinking, she might perceive me as
doling out charity from on high.
Especially since I had just firmly denied her proposal.
So, I adjusted my tone and earnestly said to Cami, "Fidelia has a bit of a stubborn streak. We need
to work on that and make her see that her approach is wrong. Besides, we should help her understand
how much you mean to her, so that she can cherish you!"
I tried to appeal to both her emotions and her reason as we discussed the matter, hoping to convince
her to see the sense in my words. Only then could we avoid future issues.
Sometimes, I even doubted myself. Was I being too charitable as Catherine had suggested?
Why did I even bother doing this ''good'' deed that wasn''t necessary? If I hadn''t been so quick to offer
my kindness, I wouldn''t have ended up with these headaches.
Now, more than ever, I felt that anything to do with the Dawsons, big or small, required careful
consideration before taking action.
Continuing with resolve, I said, "Fidelia''s staying for her studies is simple enough. Our door is always
open for you, and Fidelia is wee anytime. But don''t give in to her this time."
I emphasized ''this time,'' admitting to myself that I was perhaps making a bigger deal out of this than
necessary.
But as I saw Cami seem to take in my words, I decided to seize the moment and pressed on, "Later
on, I''ll exin the whole thing to her. If she wants toe back, I''ll make the arrangements. She can
attend the same school as Monique!"
I thought my point was clear enough.
I watched Cami until she nodded, though I wasn''t sure if she truly understood.
But I quickly added, "If you want toe, after thinking twice, you''re wee too. It would save you
from being apart!"
This was me subtly applying pressure. I suspected that Cami wouldn''t easily leave her life in
Goldenvale Town for Silverdale City.
This time Cami nodded in earnest, "All right! Let her go back and adjust. I''ll weigh the options
carefully. That sounds good!"
I nodded, "Exactly! We don''t want her making a rash decision she''ll regretter."
Iter repeated my thoughts to Fidelia alone, discussing the consequences and dangers of her running
away.
I also asked her what she truly wanted. She said she wanted to hide until Cami left Silverdale City.
It made me both annoyed and amused. What a child!
Yet, I felt she was carrying some sort of burden, not revealing the true reason she wanted to stay.
I reiterated that she could share her deepest thoughts with me, but she shook her head, iming there
was nothing more to be near Monique and Probert with a better studying environment.
I couldn''t deny this, even my father''s lectures hooked me in my spare time.
When I suggested taking Cami on a tour around Silverdale City, she refused. She''d rather explore
Oldtown Avenue next time and was keen to revisit the Wood Manor. Cami was curious about how
she managed to sneak in and where she had hidden.

So, I took them both to the Wood Manor.
As soon as we entered, Cami couldn''t stop praising the ce, examining every nook and cranny with
great interest.
I had the impression she was quite taken with the Wood Manor!
After another day, Cami took Fidelia back to Goldenvale Town.
But I restrained myself. In matters concerning her and her mother, I had to tread carefully. Content of

They were, after all, on the fringes of the Dawson family, and not to be taken lightly.
And that was the real reason behind my refusal.
