Chapter 149 Just For Her
Bradley brought Cameron to a shopping mall filled with high–end brands and polished storefronts. He confidently led the way in his sporty clothes, looking energetic.
Cameron followed in her school uniform. Her small frame and delicate features made her look even younger than usual–like a high school freshman. Together, they looked more like brothers than friends.
The sales associate beamed as they walked in. “Welcome, you two look great. Looking for anything in particular? Who is it for?”
“For me,” Bradley replied.
Cameron dropped into a plush seat in the lounge area. “I’ll wait here, Brad.”
“Alright.” Bradley nodded.
Cameron expected to wait a few minutes, maybe fifteen tops. Instead, an hour crawled by.
She used to go shopping with Milena and their mom all the time. They’d always take their sweet time, and spending two to three hours in a store was totally normal.
But she never expected Bradley to spend a whole hour picking out clothes, and it honestly took her by surprise.
When Bradley finally returned with both hands full of at least ten shopping bags, Cameron was stunned again, thinking, ‘Did he really need to buy that much all at once? Was Brad really that short on clothes?‘
Bradley gave her a soft smile. “Thanks for waiting. Let’s go home.”
Back at Noble Vista, Bradley dropped the shopping bags onto the table in a chaotic pile. There were so many that they nearly buried the surface completely.
He casually opened a bag, pulled out a white hoodie, looked it over, and suddenly frowned. “Crap.”
“What’s wrong?” Cameron asked.
“The sales associate gave me the wrong size,” he muttered, holding up the hoodie.
Cameron glanced at the label, and it was an XL. Bradley was six–foot–two, and no way that was going to fit him.
Bradley rummaged through a few more bags, frowning. “They’re all XL. Seriously?”
“Just go exchange them,” Cameron said.
Bradley shrugged. “Too lazy to both

He stared at Cameron. “You’re so skinny, these should fit you, right? I really don’t want to go back and return them. How about you just wear them for me?”
Cameron wasn’t clueless. She casually flipped through the shopping bags, and there

were about eight sets of clothes for spring and three for summer. He’d even bought socks and men’s boxers, all in the wrong sizes.
“Brad, you bought these for me from the start, didn’t you?” Cameron asked.
Bradley grinned. “How’s my taste? Do you like them? If not, we can go exchange them.”
The truth was, Bradley had bought all these clothes just for Cameron. That morning, he’d noticed she was still wearing her school uniform, despite it being the holidays.
He remembered she’d just cut ties with the Wallace family. She was still just a student and probably didn’t have much money. So, he figured he’d buy her a few sets of clothes.
Cameron looked at Bradley’s handsome, smiling face and, for a moment, didn’t know what to say. Her heart felt so, so warm.
Brad treated her too well that she didn’t exactly know how to put his kindness into words.
Seeing Cameron just staring at him in a daze, Bradley patted her on the shoulder. “Go try them on. If they don’t fit, we can exchange them, or just return them and get something else.”
Cameron took a step back. “Brad, thank you, but I really can’t accept this.”
Bradley sighed helplessly. “Cameron, it’s not like these are anything expensive. It’s just a few clothes, so there’s no need to make a fuss.”
Cameron said nothing.
Bradley looked even more exasperated now. “How about this? Next time, you buy me a few? I promise I’ll accept them with an open heart.”
“Brad.” For a moment, Cameron didn’t know what to say. She owed Bradley way too many favors, and she wondered, ‘How am I ever going to pay him back in the future?‘
