Wanting to stand by Jayden's side was a foolish and unrealistic fantasy, and Camilla had her pride. The car fell into a long silence at her words. After a while, Jayden sighed softly and reached out to caress her face. "Camilla, you surprised me." He seemed to have met a new version of her that day.Camilla greedily enjoyed the warmth in his palm but forced herself to remain composed. "Can you take me home?" Jayden glanced at her attire. He had torn off the swimwear disapprovingly at the height of his arousal. At the moment, Camilla was wearing his shirt. She was straddling him, leaving her bare thigh for the world to see."How are you going to go home like this?" Jayden smiled, his voice regaining some warmth.Camilla immediately realized her current predicament and quickly tried to get up and sit beside him, but her legs trembled uncontrollably. She flushed even brighter after that. Jayden chuckled softly and held her waist, helping her move aside. The two of them sile
Camilla observed his face and didn't say anything more. She nestled on the couch and closed her eyes. However, she didn't sleep for long. She got up a while later to buy breakfast. When she returned, Jayden was already awake but with bloodshot eyes."Go back to rest after you eat," Camilla said.Jayden hummed in agreement and picked up the spoon with his left hand. But he was not skilled at using his left hand and couldn't pick up anything.Seeing this, Camilla immediately sat down in front of him. She took the spoon from his hand and fed him the food.Seeing her serious expression, Jayden suddenly smiled. "Is this how the older folks feel?"Camilla said seriously, "Who knows? You might not even be able to hold a spoon where you're old."Jayden's jaws fell. "You're right."Then he started eating with her help.The atmosphere in the ward was lighthearted. Camilla's heart softened as she looked at Jayden's handsome and gentle face. Her gaze revealed a sense of greed.Jayden se
Simon walked up to Camilla, still adorning a laid-back smile on his face. "You lost your phone. Aren't you going to look for it?" In his hand were her phone and her clothes.Camilla looked at him coldly and reached out to take her phone and clothes. "I want to resign."Simon chuckled. "You're resigning over this?"Camilla paused, taking a moment to observe the man wearing a wicked smile on his face. In that instant, she realized that she didn't have a deep enough connection with him to express her emotions. With this realization, all her grievances and anger dissipated entirely. He was just her creditor. And she was just a dispensable assistant in his eyes. Everything seemed to click in Camilla's mind. She regarded him= with seriousness and coldness, saying, "Yes, I am. Mr. Dashner, you have power and influence. Perhaps you graciously allowed me to become your assistant to settle the debt. At first, I was grateful to you. But after last night, I realized that your sudden a
Camilla observed his fluctuating emotions and said, "There's nothing between us. As I said, it doesn't matter anymore."Simon looked at her cold face and suddenly realized something.Despite his anger, she had remained calm. The truth was, she simply didn't care about him. Because of that, she could ignore all his emotions. Regarding what happened yesterday, she didn't have much of a reaction. Even if there were, it wasn't enough to provoke a strong response from her.Simon chuckled self-deprecatingly. "So that's how it is."He closed his eyes and suddenly leaned forward, about to kiss Camilla's lips.Camilla furrowed her brows and slapped him across the face. The crisp sound echoed through the air cruelly.Simon's face snapped towards the side with lowered eyes. Camilla didn't know what he was thinking.Camilla frowned. "What are you doing?"A bitter smile flashed across Simon's face, but it was gone just as quickly. "I just wanted to see if there's a place for me in your he
"Hey, sweetie. What's wrong?" Tamara cooed, noticing Caleb's solemn expression.Caleb told Tamara about what just happened.Tamara paused and smiled helplessly. "I understand. Don't worry about this. Just focus on your studies."Thomas immediately snatched the phone and asked seriously, "Mommy, are you really not going to intervene?""And how do you plan to handle it?" Tamara smiled at him. "You are caught in the middle. One is my brother, while the other is Daddy's brother. Whose side are you on?"Thomas froze. After a while, he asked, "Then, who does Mommy support?""Of course, I naturally support my brother," Tamara said without hesitation. "But, I won't interfere in this anymore. I've done everything I could. It's up to Jayden to win your tutor over."Thomas sighed. "What a mess." "Alright, let's not worry about this anymore. Focus on your studies. It's almost the weekend. I'll come to check your homework then," Tamara said.Thomas pouted and grumbled inwardly, "Fine."…
A gentle breeze brushed against Camilla's face, scattering her thoughts. Her heart quickened its pace as her gaze fell upon Jayden's handsome and tender countenance. At that moment, she found herself at a loss for words, unsure of how to react.He had never been like this before.She was both surprised and startled by his sudden change. She was even tempted to give him a chance."It's alright. Take your time," Jayden said as he looked at her dazed expression, a slight smile playing on his lips. He didn't show any sign of anger. Instead, he tried to soothe her emotions.Camilla pursed her lips and remained silent.The two of them took a walk in the park for a while. But soon, the sun became scorching, and they returned to the ward. Camilla sat on the couch, looking through the job applications on her phone.Now that she was no longer Simon's assistant, she had to find a new job. At the very least, she wanted to start working immediately after Jayden was discharged from the hos
"I'm going out for a bit to see my brother," Camilla informed Jayden."Sure, go ahead." Jayden nodded.Something flashed across Jayden's eyes. He took note of Camilla's unusual emotions but didn't comment on it. He realized he had no place in her affairs now.Camilla said, "Call me if you need anything.""Okay." Jayden hummed in agreement. Jayden watched her leave the ward before he took out his phone. He called a number. "I need all the information on Camilla, including her recent activities and contacts. And by everything, I mean everything."… In Nathan's ward.The frail boy lay on the bed. His face lit up with an innocent smile when he saw Camilla approaching. "You're here, Camilla.""Yes." Camilla nodded. She glanced briefly at the nurse, who promptly stepped away, giving them privacy. She pulled up a chair and sat by the bedside."Did something happen? You seem unhappy," Nathan keenly sensed something was off about Camilla and spoke in a tender voice tinted with con
Jayden's eyes darkened as he watched her face turn crimson. "Is it too much to ask? I just want you to put me to bed. I swear I won't do anything else," Jayden teased her mischievously. "Stop that," Camilla said shyly. Jayden's gaze turned greedy because it was rare for her to act like this. Nonetheless, he suppressed his emotions and smiled. "Alright, I'll stop."Camilla heaved a sigh of relief. The next second, she heard him say, "I'm wide awake now because of you. How are you going to make it up to me?"She was speechless. She couldn't help but think to herself, "Seriously? Is he not going to let this go?" Camilla felt her cheeks burning as she met Jayden's gaze, finding it hard to maintain eye contact. "Just bear with it. You can simply go back to sleep," she stuttered."You're cruel," Jayden chuckled in a low voice. His response rendered her completely speechless. In any case, it was impossible for her to put him to bed. She ignored him and sat on the sofa.Jayden stared a
