Jayden reached out and cupped her face. He gazed gently at her. "Don't you want a child of our own?"Camilla nodded. "I do."Jayden's eyes darkened. "But it's still too early," Camilla smiled. "I'm not in a hurry."Jayden fell silent. He kissed her lightly and said against her lips, "You've been naughty, Camilla."Camilla blushed. "Have I?""To make up for it, you should help with my little problem." Jayden bent down and swept Camilla off her feet. "But it's still bright outside ..." Camilla immediately resisted.Jayden tilted his head. "Don't you want it?"Camilla hesitated.Does she want it?Forget it.Happiness is the most important thing right now!...Monday. Camilla arrived at the dessert shop. After changing into her work clothes, Charlotte pushed the door open and walked in. "Camilla, you look to be in good spirits. Did something good happen?" Charlotte asked gently.Camilla nodded. "I'm doing well in my courses.""You're a clever girl. Studying should com
The hospital across the street was privately owned. It had a good environment and excellent service.A nurse approached her and asked, "How may I help you?" "I'm here to find someone," Camilla said. "His name is Jayden Moore."Something flashed across the nurse's eyes. "Alright, let me check. Is he a patient or a hospital staff member?" "I don't know." Camilla sounded defeated.The nurse smiled apologetically. "If that's the case, it might be difficult to find him. But I'll help you look it up."With that, the nurse began searching using the computer.Camilla scanned the hospital lobby. She saw Jayden entering earlier, but where did he go? Could he have gone somewhere else?"Miss, I'm sorry. But we don't have the person you're looking for," the nurse informed her."I see, thank you," Camilla said and turned to leave the hospital. She felt a sense of unease, as if something bad was about to happen. She walked out of the hospital, feeling the breeze against her skin, and sighe
"What's wrong, Camilla?" Kylie noticed how pale Camilla grew and asked anxiously, "Is your foot hurting?""I'm fine," Camilla replied dryly. She opened the car door and got out. She suddenly realized the social gap between her and Jayden. She lived in a run-down residential building and was constantly struggling for a living while he existed in a different world, a world she had forcefully entered. They were worlds apart. Even though she was diligently learning skills the rich and noble ladies possessed, she couldn't bridge the inferiority complex brought about by her background.She slowly returned to her room, which had accumulated some dust over the past few days. Camilla observed the room and began to clean it up. "You don't have to clean them. Let me do it instead. Your foot is injured." Kylie snatched the cloth from her hand."I can't do that. Give it to me," Camilla insisted. Kylie was stubborn and quickly busied herself.Camilla frowned. "How about we head over to
"Kylie, are you injured?" Brandon immediately scrutinized Kylie from head to toe when he saw her, his face filled with concern. Kylie shook her head. "I'm not the one who's injured. Camilla is. Please hurry and check on her.""Okay." Relieved that she wasn't hurt, Brandon approached Camilla and immediately furrowed his brow at her swollen ankle. "Did you fracture your ankle?"Camilla shook her head. "No, I just twisted it when I turned around."Brandon reached out and pressed her ankle, examining if the bones were injured. "The bones seem fine."After a moment, Brandon frowned. "Why is it so swollen?" There was no fracture, just a slight sprain. Brandon quickly popped the bone back into place and relief washed over Camilla instantly.Kylie, who stood nearby, asked, "Could there be other reasons for her sprained ankle?""We'll have to go to the hospital for an examination. I can't see it with my naked eye." Brandon chuckled.Camilla mumbled, "It doesn't hurt as much anymore."
Camilla took out her phone and saw that it was a call from Jayden. She paused for a moment before answering. "Hello?""Camilla, you called me just now. Have you finished work?" Jayden's low and gentle voice came through."Yes," Camilla replied with a lowered gaze.Kylie pulled Brandon up, and the two of them went to the balcony.Camilla blinked. "Where are you now?""I'm at the research institute." Jayden's tone was gentle. "Do you miss me?"Camilla felt a lump in her throat. After a while, she responded, "I won't be going back tonight.""Why?" Jayden sounded confused. "Did something happen?""I'm staying with Kylie tonight," Camilla muttered softly, struggling to control her emotions. She hastily added, "We're about to have dinner. Let's talk later." She hung up almost immediately.She stared blankly at her swollen ankle as tears welled up in her eyes. She clearly saw him at the hospital. But why did he lie to her?What was he actually doing?Her heart felt heavy, and she
Brandon stared at Kylie dumbfoundedly. He was just a little bit inexperienced. Was it really necessary to be so harsh on him? What about his feelings? …Back at the Moore manor, Camilla observed the luxurious decor and suppressed her emotions. She turned to Kylie. "Can you wait for me here?"Kylie blinked. "How long will the class be?""Two hours," Camilla muttered sheepishly."That's too long. I'll head out for a while and come back in two hours." Kylie huffed."That works too." Camilla nodded and got out of the car.Kylie watched her leave before calling up Brandon. "Did you find anything?""I did." Brandon's tone was hesitant. "And we are familiar with the person too."Kylie furrowed her brow. "Enough with the suspense. Who is it?""Tanya Huntsman," Brandon revealed. …Camilla slowly entered the manor. She saw the three children waiting for her in the living room. And Jayden was nowhere to be found. Ms. Thompson approached her. "Welcome home, Ms. Camilla. What happen
Camilla frowned. She sensed that something was off about Kylie. She glanced at the somber-faced Jayden and said, "I'll stay over at Kylie's tonight. Goodbye"Jayden furrowed his brows and said bluntly, "Don't go. Your foot is injured."Camilla was taken aback, not expecting him to notice her foot right away."That won't do. She promised to stay at my place tonight. Don't worry. I'll keep a close watch over her. In fact, she always gets the princess treatment when she's with me," Kylie interjected before pulling Camilla outside with her. All of a sudden, another hand grabbed Camilla."Camilla." Jayden's words were laced with coldness. "You're hurt. Don't go,"Camilla swallowed hard. This was a first. She had never once been between a man and a woman.Kylie's expression turned ugly. Camilla glanced at Jayden. "I'm fine."Which meant she didn't want to be there.Jayden narrowed his eyes before letting her go. "Alright, I'll pick you up tomorrow.""Okay." Camilla nodded.Kylie
Camilla gave Kylie a helpless look. "Please tell me what's on your mind, Kylie. How long do you plan on keeping me in the dark?" Kylie pursed her lips and felt extremely conflicted. After a while, she mumbled, "You know what? I can't stay silent about this any longer. And you're his girlfriend. You deserve to know."Camilla's frown deepened. So Kylie did know something. What was it?Kylie remained silent for a few seconds before she started, "Brandon found out who Jayden was visiting. It was Tanya."At the news, Camilla's eyes widened into the size of a saucer. She instinctively said, "Wasn't Tanya sent to the countryside by the Huntsman family?" Tanya had set her up before. She bought a tiramisu from the dessert shop and later claimed to have been poisoned by it. Camilla tagged along to the hospital but was caught by Kyle, who ordered his men to beat her up. Later, she was rescued by Simon. When Jayden caught wind of it, he brought Camilla to Tanya's ward. Camilla had witnessed
