Chapter 676:

“Your best friend told me someone was jealous, claiming her brothers treated her like a treasure. I couldn’t let my little princess be treated with less respect, so I came to bring you home myself.”

Before she could respond…

Melvin’s voice dropped, his tone quieter and more serious. “You’ve been out long enough. Are you ready to come home now?”

Previously, Camille had managed to somewhat mend her relationship with Melvin, maintaining contact even though she rarely returned home.

However, her recent relationship with Albin, known for his dubious reputation, made her wary of Melvin’s reaction, prompting her to start keeping her distance from him as well.

Clutching Melvin’s arm and pouting playfully, Camille said, “Melvin, I’ve missed you, but I just can’t face going back home. I’d rather stay at Carrie’s place.”

Melvin paused with a sigh and responded, “Why do you insist on crashing at other people’s places?” He then added, “Listen, there’s a small three-bedroom flat near your office that I own. It’s been empty; I haven’t even rented it out yet. You could live there by yourself.”

Camille flattered him. “You know, having you as a brother is like finding a treasure. You’re even better than Carrie’s cousins.”

With a more serious expression, Melvin said, “It’s fine to compliment me, but let’s not put others down. We shouldn’t offend the Morrisons. After all, they were kind enough to arrange a private jet to fly us back to Orkset. It’s wrong to bite the hand that feeds us.”

Camille pouted. “Oh, come on, Melvin, I was only teasing. You’re so young; why do you have to act so old all the time?”

Melvin laughed lightly, finding humor in her words. “One second you call me the best brother, and the next, you’re calling me old-fashioned. Your opinions change quicker than the weather.”

“I haven’t changed my stance!” Camille quickly countered. “Being old-fashioned isn’t bad. Nowadays, every girl wants a boyfriend who’s mature, right?”

Melvin replied with a hint of irony, “And you think Albin fits that bill?”

“That was just one mistake! Why do you always have to dwell on the past?” Camille exclaimed, half-joking as she waved her fist.

Pausing to think, she said earnestly, “If we’re talking about maturity, Reece and Daxton really should come to mind. Their approach is always meticulous…”

Before she could finish, Melvin abruptly gave her a cold look and said firmly, “You better stay away from Daxton, and avoid being alone with him in the future.”

Camille brushed off his concern with a laugh, waving her hand. “Melvin, what’s gotten into you? Why would Daxton be interested in me? I’m merely commenting on their personalities, nothing more. There’s no romantic interest on my part towards Reece or Daxton!”

Melvin tightened his grip on her wrist, saying, “Listen to me, stay away from him.”

Puzzled, Camille asked, “But why?”

“Just trust me on this. As your brother, I have your best interests at heart,” Melvin responded sternly.
