Camilla hesitated before nodding. "Sure, let me see."Jayden took out his phone and showed her the photos. Camilla looked through them, and her expression became solemn.How should she put it? They weren't just identical, it was like they were carved from the same mold. Her eyes and eyebrows were identical to Jenna's, while her nose and mouth were from Jackie's. Were they really her biological parents? Wasn't this something that only happened in web novels?Camilla asked, "Can we do a paternity test without their knowledge?""Yes." Jayden nodded. This was a piece of cake to him."What do you plan to do if the results come back positive?" Jayden asked.Camilla looked into the distance. The sun was still setting in the distance, casting a long trail of radiant light along the horizon. It was dazzling and breathtaking. She sighed. "I don't know."Jayden stared at her. "If you still yearn for parental love, you can consider reuniting with them. But if you couldn't care less about
Camilla arrived at the shop and saw Charlotte busy with work. When Charlotte saw her, a look of surprise crossed her face. "Someone came yesterday and told me you were taking a week off. Why are you already back today?"Camilla smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry. Something urgent came up yesterday. But I'm fine now and ready to work again."Charlotte smiled. "You don't have to push yourself. I can manage here myself.""I'm fine," Camilla returned a smile, "Really."Charlotte decided to let her be.Camilla went to the break room and changed into her work uniform. After she put on her hat and mask, she got down to work.Charlotte sat on a chair and sipped at her coffee. She suddenly asked, "Camilla, what's your relationship like with Jayden?"Camilla froze slightly. "It's complicated."Charlotte quirked an eyebrow. "How so?"Camilla's face reddened slightly. Because of her see-through mask, her expression was out on display.Charlotte nodded understandingly. "Oh, I see.""I env
Charlotte stood up. "Well, don't let me take up any more of your time.""Goodbye." Camilla sent Charlotte on her way. Her gaze fell on the dessert in her hand. She slowly placed it on the counter as her mind ran amok. She wanted to be with Jayden. But she also wanted to be his equal, not some damsel in distress.If she wanted to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him, she had to work harder. She may not have come from a prestigious family, but she could strive to further her knowledge. Although the wives of prestigious families have a certain education level, wasn't it better to aim for the moon?She would change herself for him and become even more outstanding.Camilla made up her mind, and the heaviness in her heart gradually disappeared....In the evening, she returned to the Moore manor. Jayden wasn't home. But the three children were playing in the living room."Ms. Camilla, you're back!" Melanie rushed over and hugged Camilla."Melly, why are you so happy today?" Camilla
Camilla went downstairs and poured herself a glass of water. The cold water managed to soothe her burning cheeks. But the thought of Jayden's confession only made her heart race. She quickly drank a few more sips of water to calm her restless emotions. After regaining her composure, Camilla began to ponder. Her injuries were almost healed, so she shouldn't stay there any longer. Moreover, if she went back to her own home, she would have time to study with Charlotte. It would be troublesome if she continued staying here. She wanted to grow herself quietly and amaze him."What are you thinking about?" Just then, Jayden's voice sounded from behind Camilla. She turned around and saw that he had come downstairs without her noticing. He smiled at her, and his glasses only further framed his gentle charm."I'm thinking that I should go home," Camilla honestly replied.Jayden paused. "So soon? But aren't you still injured?"Camilla shook her head. "I feel much better now.""You can'
Camilla's body stiffened, and her eyelashes fluttered as she stammered, "I ... I ...""Camilla." Jayden's gentle kiss trailed from her shoulder, up to her ear and cheek. His voice became slightly hoarse. "Will you be my fiancée?"Electric coursed through Camilla's vein, and she sank into the bed. Her lips unconsciously parted, and she began breathing heavily like a fish gasping for air."Promise me, okay?" Jayden continued to kiss her gently, guiding her. He was like a hunter, stealthily leading her into his trap.Camilla's consciousness began to blur under his breath and his kisses. She had been in love with this man for five years! Despite her previous resistance, all her defenses crumbled from the kisses he was giving her. She turned around to peck his lips. "Okay."Jayden shuddered before he rained down kisses on Camilla, consuming her entirely.The night was still young....The next day, Jayden accompanied Camilla to work. She had a shy expression on her face due to her
Charlotte smiled faintly. "I knew all of you would be here, so I came to keep you company. Wouldn't you feel lonely without me?"Charlotte's playful remark sent the ladies into a fit of laughter.Meanwhile, Camilla silently stood by and watched. She noticed that even the least-losing player had lost at least five hundred thousand dollars. That much loss was beyond her comprehension.One of the ladies turned to Camilla. "And who's this?"Charlotte introduced, "This is my cousin. She just arrived in Clacton, so I brought her along to have some fun.""I see. Please, have a seat. We are all friends here, so feel free to join in." A lady gestured towards the couch.Camilla nodded. "Thank you."They played poker for the entire morning. Camilla noticed that the biggest loser had accumulated a total loss of two million dollars, while the biggest winner had won seven million dollars. The numbers were astonishing.Soon, they moved to a different location. They went to one of their ho
Camilla was taken aback and turned around to have a closer look. But they were too far behind now. She couldn't make out the woman's face.Who was that woman? Why was she standing so close to Jayden?Thoughts swirled within Camilla's mind, and her expression turned cold.Charlotte noticed her mood and smiled faintly. "He has a status to uphold. It's normal for him to have social obligations and engagements. If you want to be with him, you must learn to be patient and understanding."Camilla remained silent and didn't spare a glance at Charlotte. The scene of Jayden and the other woman kept replaying in her mind.Did all women get jealous easily once they're in a relationship?She knew it was wrong, but she couldn't stop herself from thinking about it.Back at the dessert shop, Camilla immersed herself in her work. If she busied herself, she wouldn't have time for idle thoughts.Charlotte left her to it and exited the dessert shop.In the evening, after work.An expensive car
"Alright." A light blush appeared on Camilla's face, and she nodded. She was a serious person, and she would remember what he said. The uneasiness in her heart caused by that woman gradually dissipated.Jayden placed a gentle kiss on the back of her hand. …After dinner, the two of them returned to the Moore family.Camilla was surprised to find that the three children were missing."Where are the kids?" Camilla asked.Jayden hummed. "Tammy took them away. There's an event at the kindergarten that requires both parents and children to participate."Camilla nodded. It was still early. Since she won't be giving lessons to the children, she should contact Charlotte to discuss her studies instead. She took out her phone. Just as she was about to dial Charlotte's number, Jayden embraced her from behind. His pleasant scent completely enveloped her, and the servants all shared knowing smiles and left.Camilla's flushed bright red. "Jayden, what are you doing?"Jayden kissed her
