Camilla's eyes glistened. "Thank you, but there's nothing you can do to help me."Scott nodded hesitantly. "I see. But this can't go on. What if they come for you again?"Camilla blinked. "I will find a way to solve it as soon as possible.""Alright." Scott sighed.A gentle night breeze swept by, and the two fell into silence. Camilla owed Scott big time. If it weren't for him, she would have been heading into a fate worse than death. She turned to Scott. "Have you eaten? Let me treat you to a late-night snack."Scott felt a bit embarrassed. "It's late. And you've just gone through a lot. You should head back and rest first. We can have a meal another day."Camilla insisted, "You said it yourself; I've been through a lot. I'm very tense right now. I need to find a way to calm down."Scott finally agreed. "Alright. I know a great pizza place. Let's go there.""Okay." Camilla nodded.…Inside the restaurant.The air was filled with a thick aroma of pizza.Camilla handed the
After finishing their late-night snack, Scott offered, "Let me send you home, Camila. My car is not far from here."Camilla shook her head. "No, thank you. I can manage on my own.""No." Scott's expression turned serious, "It's late. What if something happens again?"Camilla was taken aback. She gave Scott a complicated look before nodding. "Alright, thank you.""There's no need for that." Scott waved her off in embarrassment. He couldn't bring himself to meet Camilla's eyes. "Let's go.""Okay." Camilla nodded, and they both got up together. Indeed, it was already very late, and there were fewer cars on the road.Camilla took out her phone and sent a message to Jayden. "I'm heading back now. There's something I want to discuss with you."She didn't receive an immediate reply after the message was sent out. Camilla waited for a while, the bright screen from her phone illuminating her disappointment."Camilla." Scott's voice echoed from nearby.Camilla collected her thoughts and
Camilla took out her phone, intending to call him. All of a sudden, her gaze fell upon a notebook placed on the desk. That notebook looked familiar. She had seen it before in the half-open drawer—a diary.Camilla's hand halted. Suddenly, Scott's words flashed through her mind. Did she really know who Jayden was? No. She didn't know him that well. She had been aware of this from the very beginning. But now, Scott's words were constantly echoing in her ears, and a strange feeling seeped into her heart. She wanted to understand Jayden. And what was the fastest way to understand a person? It was by reading their diary. But that wasn't right. She shouldn't touch his belongings without his permission. However, her desire grew stronger. Camilla slowly approached the desk, eyes fixed on the diary. After a moment, she abruptly averted her gaze. She couldn't do it. She wanted to understand him, but there were other ways to go about it. Ways that didn't involve invading his
The next day, Camilla arrived at the dessert shop and saw Charlotte flipping through a document. When she saw Camilla, she handed the document to her. "Here, take a look at this. These are the courses I used to study."Camilla carefully flipped through it before asking, "How long does it take to learn all of this?"There were many courses listed inside, including body language, posture, flower arrangement, yoga, and wine tasting ...It was a mix of various courses, and it was a bit overwhelming.Charlotte smiled gently. "It depends on your learning ability. I learned them within six months."Six months ...Camilla's brows furrowed slightly, but she soon relaxed.Six months should be enough.She would learn all the essential skills of a wealthy wife and become even more outstanding. She would finally be worthy of Jayden, then.Charlotte observed Camilla's determined eyes, and her smile deepened. "You can start learning now. But you won't be able to continue with work."After c
Camilla smiled faintly and continued busying herself with her work. Kylie left after their lunch together. After finishing work in the afternoon, Camilla locked the shop and took out the materials. She read through the contents with a resolute look. "Hello, I would like to enroll in the flower arrangement course ..." Camilla called the number on the document. After a while, she hung up the phone with a slight smile on her face. The class time was from 4 pm. to 5.30 pm, lasting for an hour and a half. By 6 pm, she would arrive at the Moore manor and could begin her class with the children. The class would end at 8 pm, giving her time to learn other things. On the bus, Camilla wasted no time filling her timetable with activities. Just then, her phone vibrated. She took out her phone and saw a message from Jayden. "I noticed the dessert shop was closed. Where are you?"Camilla was surprised. Did he come to pick her up? Camilla's eyes flicked, and she quickly typed a reply. Ky
Jayden held her hand and whispered huskily, "So what's my reward?"Camilla flushed red at this, and she sent him a light-hearted glare. "What reward do you wish to have""I can have anything I want?" Jayden cocked an eyebrow in amusement.Camilla's senses tingled with excitement. "There are lines you can't cross.""Then set some boundaries for me," Jayden compromised.Camilla pondered for a moment. "Don't cross my bottom line. And don't request anything dumb.""Then I need to think this through." Jayden fell into deep thought.Camilla couldn't help but feel anxious. What kind of reward would he request? She hoped it wouldn't be something strange or difficult to fulfill."I've thought of something," Jayden suddenly said.Camilla grew nervous. "What is it?"Jayden leaned close to her ear and whispered softly, "It's nothing difficult. Just wear a piece of clothing for me."Clothing? That's all? That should be easy enough. Camilla nodded. "Okay, I agree."Jayden's smile g
Jayden turned and went into another room. After a moment of hesitation, Camilla put on the outfit. On the surface, they seemed like normal clothes, albeit with a tighter fit. Still, it wasn't something she couldn't live with. Looking down at the stethoscope, Camilla blushed, embarrassed. Just then, the door swung open, and in walked Jayden in his crisp white lab coat. His gaze darkened when they fell on her body. Seeing him dressed up like that, Camilla was momentarily taken aback. She looked at him with a hint of wonder in her eyes. "You …" Jayden walked up to her with a faint smile. "You are now my nurse." Camilla was left speechless. It felt so embarrassing. What sort of bizarre roleplay was this? To think Jayden was the one who came up with this idea. He was usually so gentle and reserved. Who would have thought that he could cook up something like this?"Now, let's begin." Her hand that held the stethoscope trembled slightly. The sight of Camilla's flustered reaction ma
"Yay!" Kylie cheered. Charlotte glanced at Camilla, but she remained silent. That afternoon. After shutting the store, Kylie glanced at the time. "Oh, you're leaving early?" Camilla then explained the situation to her. When Kylie heard her story, she replied, "Wow, I don't know what to say." She left it at that. After all, Camilla had already made up her mind; no matter what she said, it wouldn't change anything.In the car, Kylie sighed. "I wonder what sort of spell Jayden has you under." Camilla silently buckled her seatbelt. With Kylie behind the wheel, they headed toward the cafe where the blind date would be held.Half an hour later. Camilla and Kylie entered the cafe. With the help of a picture, Kylie began scanning the crowd in search of her date. Then, she noticed a greasy, balding man sitting next to the window. Kylie's eyes grew as wide as saucers. She raised her phone to compare the man to the picture. "That's him? Are they even the same people?" Camilla glanced
