Charlotte widened her eyes at Camilla in disbelief before she smiled understandingly. "Sure. As long as you've made up your mind." Camilla returned the smile and began working.Charlotte smiled faintly at how happy Camilla looked. Her eyes darkened, and she said off-handedly, "Camilla, I'm truly envious of your relationship with Mr. Moore." Camilla smiled faintly as a blush painted her face. "I was surprised by it too.""You were?" Charlotte raised an eyebrow. "Did he plan an elaborate proposal?"Camilla shook her head. "No."Charlotte's brow furrowed slightly. "The Moore family is different from us ordinary people. Considering the significant difference in your social status, I feel it's unfair to you if he didn't make a grand gesture during his proposal. He didn't even make any guarantees to you. Isn't it too hasty for you to get married to him?" Camilla looked at Charlotte. She knew where the older woman was coming from. But she wasn't like the other girls. She didn't care
Camilla picked up a charm and showed it to Jayden. "Should we put up some of these in the room?"Jayden smiled dotingly at her. "We can if you want to. Do whatever you like with the house."Camilla felt delighted, and a smile appeared on her usually cold face. She looked like a happy yet shy maiden.Camilla bought whatever she liked throughout their trip, and Jayden never turned her down. After they had purchased everything they wanted, an hour and a half had passed. Camilla stared at the filled trunk and couldn't help but smile at how nice all the decorations would look in their home.Jayden opened the passenger seat for her. "Let's go home and start decorating.""Okay." Camilla got into the car, her heart filled with anticipation for the future. After decorating the manor, the entire place gave off new energy. By the time they finished tidying up, it was already 8 pm. Camilla sank down on the couch, tired beyond words. Jayden leaned down and pecked her cheeks. "Will that be
While Camilla was lost in thought, a pair of strong arms suddenly wrapped around her waist, straddling her. She looked up and saw it was Jayden embracing her from behind. He rested his chin on her shoulder. "You're unhappy." Camilla paused. "No, I'm not.""You are," Jayden argued.Camilla sighed. She had never seen this side of Jayden before. He was acting spoiled, but her heart softened at him nevertheless.Jayden held her and slowly led her to the balcony. The cool breeze blew past them, bringing the heat off of them. "Sweetheart, we're married now. We should share everything. It doesn't matter if it's your happiness or sorrows, I want to know everything about you. Likewise, I will share my day with you," Jayden spoke softly and calmly as if reciting a poem. Camilla's eyelashes fluttered, and her heart thumped uncontrollably. She bit her lips before saying, "I just suddenly realized that I might have been deceived by you." "What?" Jayden cocked an eyebrow. "What do you mea
Camilla didn't feel any sense of ease at her words. Instead, heaviness weighed her chest. So a child wasn't enough to win a person's heart. And the poor woman was even cast aside.Camilla lowered her gaze gloomily.Charlotte sighed at Camilla's reaction. "If I had known you were sentimental, I wouldn't have told you this. Don't overthink it. Mr. Moore is different. Besides, the Moore family is different from the other families in Clacton. The Moore family has always been very accepting of their children and didn't care about social status. They just want their children to be happy." Camilla remained silent, but her eyes trembled slightly. Charlotte continued, "Speaking of which, I envy the Moore family's daughter, Tamara. Her story with her husband is quite touching. They were a perfect match, even back in Londsville. And now, they have become the heirs of two of Clacton's big four. It seems like they were destined to be together." "Yes, they are very happy." Camilla nodded.T
"What's wrong?" With a perplexed look on her face, Camilla looked at him and asked quizzically.Scott, grappling with unspoken words, cast a contemplative glance at his phone and then at her. Inevitably, he approached her with a nuanced countenance and uttered, "Camilla, I believe you and Mr. Moore are a perfect match. However, he has betrayed you." As he spoke, he handed his phone over to Camilla.Camilla's gaze landed on the phone, revealing a glimpse of a social media post in her peripheral vision. It was a friend's post, authored by none other than Tanya.The text read, "Thank you, dear Mr. Moore." accompanied by an image that unveiled a grand bouquet of roses and a hand with distinct joints grasping a delicate, lovely hand.The image did not reveal a frontal view, yet Camilla was intimately familiar with that hand.Just last night, that very hand had left tenderly and meticulously traces over her entire body.Camilla's face paled in an instant. She stared at the social med
"Camilla, my dear, we're friends. It's only natural for us to support each other. Wait for me, okay? I'll be there soon," Kylie hurriedly consoled her after hearing the slight quiver in Camilla's voice.Camilla hummed in response before promptly ending the call. She went into the restroom and splashed cold water on her face, trying to make herself more alert. She couldn't afford to break down; she had to find out the truth.Half an hour later, Kylie showed up at the dessert shop. By this time, Camilla had composed herself, though her complexion remained somewhat pale. Nevertheless, she looked much better than before."Camilla, carry on with what you wanted to do. We'll talk once you're done." Kylie didn't immediately question what had happened. Instead, she allowed Camilla to attend to her personal matter first. After all, something serious must have happened for someone as dedicated and diligent as Camilla to abruptly stop working."Okay." Camilla nodded and walked away.The dess
Camilla suddenly found it hard to breathe. It felt like there were daggers down her throat, and every breath seemed excruciatingly painful to her. She closed her eyes and rolled down the window, letting in some fresh air. She was trying to relieve her emotions. Why did it hurt so much?Simon frowned as he looked at her pale face. "Camilla, are you alright?"However, Camilla couldn't hear anything outside of her bubble anymore. The only things on her mind now were that post with the photo and what Jayden had said to her.Was he with Tanya now? Didn't he promise her he wouldn't have anything to do with Tanya anymore?It was only because he had given Camilla his word that she didn't continue interrogating him about this. However, that post felt like a rude slap to her face. It brought her back to reality."Camilla? Camilla!"Simon grabbed Camilla's hands and got her to face him. He kept calling out her name and said, "Camilla, calm down, alright? What's on your mind now? Tell me, and I'l
"Thank you," Camilla thanked Brandon with a lowered gaze before heading toward the lift.Brandon furrowed his brows worriedly. "Are you sure you're okay, Camilla?""I'm fine." Camilla sounded calm. Aside from her pale face, it was hard to discern any other emotions from her. Brandon was still worried and decided to follow after her.The lift brought them to the 12th floor. Once Camilla stepped out from the ride, she sucked in a deep breath and headed for Tanya's ward. Every step felt like she was walking on razor blades. Her fingers curled slightly, and she had to remind herself to stay calm. She couldn't afford to be rash and have a breakdown right now.Soon, she arrived at the dreaded location. Because it was a private hospital, there wasn't any window on the door. She couldn't see what was happening inside.Camilla slowly raised her hand to knock. Right before her fist made contact, Brandon stopped her."Allow me," Brandon said as he gently pushed Camilla aside.Camilla bli
