Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 1296: Chapter 1167: The Stranger Woman Chapter 1296: Chapter 1167: The Stranger Woman “I’m not coming home today.”

Camille Victoria rarely contradicted Lincoln like this.

“Do your parents know you’re not going back tonight?” Lincoln asked.

The girl’s voice suddenly became much quieter, “I left them a note.”

After saying that, she added, “Besides, I’m already of age.

They said that once I’m an adult, they won’t restrict when I come home.”

Lincoln smiled silently, sat on the bed, and held her in his arms, “I’m meeting your parents tomorrow.

If you sleep here tonight, will they kick me out tomorrow?”

“If the first impression is poor, they won’t be happy when I ask for their blessing, right?”

Who knew the Little Princess would shake her head confidently and say, “No!”

“I can handle it!

They will definitely like you!

I guarantee it!”

Clearly, she was very confident in dealing with her parents and expressly willing to share any pressure Lincoln might face from them.

—Even more than share, she outright said “solve,” and it was a “guaranteed solution”!

Although Lincoln didn’t believe there would be much of an obstacle with her parents, her determination and thoughts still made him very happy.

Lincoln didn’t refuse anymore, but instead asked her, “Do you have sleepwear prepared here?”

The Little Princess became shy again and whispered softly, “Yes.”

Of course, she had everything, not just sleepwear, but underwear too.

She had long been prepared, ready to move in anytime with just a bag, or even without a bag—like today.

She went to her bedroom to change into her sleepwear, patted her warm cheeks, and then tiptoed back to the master bedroom.

Lincoln didn’t pull any tricks, turned off the bedside lamp, and lay down holding the little girl.

At first, Camille Victoria felt a bit panicky, but gradually she calmed down—they had shared a bed before, but only for naps or in the virtual world.

This was the first time late at night.

But lying in the warm and familiar embrace, she only felt a sense of security, and soon she was no longer nervous.

However, after waiting for a while and realizing Lincoln was still behaving, Camille Victoria became puzzled: Could it be that her boyfriend wasn’t attracted to her at all?

This suddenly made her feel a bit insecure.

The Little Princess mustered her courage once more, moved close to Lincoln’s ear, and said softly, “Mavis told me before that you wanted to see me in pretty underwear.

I’ve worn it today, do you want to take a look?”

Lincoln’s throat moved, and he couldn’t help but slap her bottom with his hand, pulling her in a bit tighter.

“Don’t cause trouble, you’ve got a bunch of things to do tomorrow.”

The princess certainly wasn’t lacking in appeal, and although Camille Victoria dressed conservatively, her body was quite attractive.

Just holding her was a test of Lincoln’s willpower, let alone her fanning the flames like this.

After being hugged tightly, the Little Princess also felt the change in Lincoln’s body, and she finally set her mind at ease.

But as soon as she relaxed, a sense of embarrassment surged up again, making her very bashful, and she subconsciously pushed Lincoln.

But such a soft and weak force, naturally, couldn’t push Lincoln away.

He stroked her head and soothed her emotions.

“Go to sleep early, you have to wake up early tomorrow.”

“Mm,” the Little Princess said in a low voice, “Good night.”

“Good night.”

…

…

That night, Lincoln slept quite restlessly.

On the other hand, Camille Victoria slept soundly after her nervousness subsided, and woke up earlier than Lincoln the next day—of course, that might also be because she has always been more disciplined than Lincoln.

Looking at her sleeping lover in the faint light of dawn, the Little Princess felt a sincere happiness and satisfaction, like a warm flow starting from her heart, slowly spreading through her veins throughout her body.

She watched quietly for a while, then gently lifted Lincoln’s hand from her stomach, carefully left the thin blanket, and turned to look at the bedside table.

That was Lincoln’s mobile phone, yet a message for her popped up —

[“Time to get up, Uncle Jordan has been waiting outside for a long time already.”]

The Little Princess thus knew that it was Mavis talking to her.

Only then did she remember: She had been too nervous yesterday and had completely forgotten about Mavis’s existence — there was a camera in the bedroom to facilitate Mavis!

Fortunately, she hadn’t done anything yesterday.

The Little Princess got a big scare.

But she didn’t actually need to worry about this, as when they lay down on the same bed, Mavis would disable all video and audio input equipment in the room.

And Lincoln would check.

This intelligence was what Mavis told her after she tiptoed out of the bedroom.

And the purpose Mavis brought it up on her own was — “So, you can rest assured and make little babies!”

Mavis had always been keen on them having a baby sooner, but each time she brought it up, Lincoln would pinch her face or flick her head in disapproval, and there was nothing she could do but to hint around with the Little Princess…

The Little Princess rubbed her own face and said nothing.

After washing up and changing clothes, she left home, climbed into the car amidst Jordan’s hesitant and unfinished words, and headed back to prepare for the busy day ahead.

The morning’s affairs had nothing to do with Lincoln, so he continued his usual biological clock.

Waking up, he felt a bit lost at the sight of the empty bed, but he soon came to his senses, sat up, and donned his headband.

And Mavis immediately popped up, kissing him on the right cheek.

“?” Lincoln was a bit puzzled.

“Princess Sister kissed the other side before she left!” Mavis was as usual, full of joy and vigor.

Lincoln rubbed her pink head and got out of bed.

He still had a new trick to pull off.

The brooch was just an extra, the real birthday gift — the Realistic Robot — had yet to be given.

He planned to use this gift to pull off a grand show.

— What would happen if two Princesses appeared at the coming-of-age ceremony dinner?

Would anyone notice the ruse before the second Princess showed up?

Just thinking about it was wickedly fun!

Today was Wednesday, but all of Cloud Dream was taking the day off.

Some were invited to the Princess’s coming-of-age celebration dinner, and Lincoln, for fairness’s sake, decided to give everyone a day off to choose between resting or sharing the excitement.

This festivity wasn’t just about the Princess’s coming-of-age celebration.

The event coinciding with the Grain Full day, Camille’s first task was to participate in traditional and folk events like Heaven Worship, Ancestral Worship, Water Snatching, and Car God Worship, under the guidance of her parents and alongside her sister, to celebrate the arrival of the Grain Full day.

Similar large folk events would take place in various provinces and cities across the country, almost in a universal festivity, and naturally, Xiajing City was no exception.

Camille would be busy from the morning well into the afternoon, moving through various locations and events.

Once these activities were over, it would be time for her coming-of-age ceremony.

There was almost no gap for rest.

Meanwhile, Lincoln had it much easier.

He joined Mavis for a short time during the Car God Worship festivities before staying put, then at 4 o’clock in the afternoon, he showed up early outside the hotel where Camille’s coming-of-age ceremony was being held.

— And he was accompanied by a woman who seemed utterly unfamiliar to the media.

And this immediately caused quite a stir.
