Jayden lifted her and went straight to the bathroom, where he carefully washed her body.Camilla remained expressionless throughout the process. After Jayden wrapped her in a towel, she suddenly called, "Jayden.""Yes?" Jayden looked at her.After the shower, the blush was still evident on her face. Yet her eyes were icy cold."Let's get a divorce," she blurted. It had just been a week into their marriage, and she was already asking for a divorce.Jayden's brow furrowed. "Stop joking around."Camilla calmly looked at him. "Do I look like I'm joking?"Jayden placed her by the edge of the bed and looked at her slightly hunched shoulders. His voice remained warm and gentle. "Camilla, don't you like me? I like you too. It's only natural that we get married. Don't ask for a divorce just because of some insignificant matters, alright?"Insignificant matters?But she had already met Tanya.Camilla's fingers trembled slightly, but she still maintained a calm tone. "But I don't like t
Camilla blinked and hesitated only for a moment before she got into the car.Simon drove away. Although Camilla didn't look back, she still felt a heaviness weighing down her heart.After a while, the car stopped at a restaurant, and Simon turned to her. "I haven't eaten yet. Mind if we talk over a meal?""Not at all." Camilla shook her head.Simon led her into the restaurant, and they were brought to a private lounge. The flowing sound from a purifier nearby felt like it could wash away their worries. Simon took the menu and ordered some food. He glanced at her. "Do you want anything?""I've already eaten. Don't worry about me," Camilla muttered calmly.Simon stared at her deeply before he said to the waiter, "She'll have what I'm having.""Got it." The waiter took the menu and left the private lounge.Simon ran a hand through his hair and smirked. "Did you follow him?"Camilla was taken aback. "How did you know?" She was basically admitting it by saying that. Camilla purse
Simon chuckled lightly. "What if there was more dirt on Jayden? I can just swoop in and steal you away after you completely lose hope in him, right?"Camilla pursed her lips.Simon observed her serene face. There wasn't a trace of emotions on it. It seemed his words failed to evoke any emotional response from her. Simon suddenly felt defeated. It was like punching a bed of cotton. He could have fully sunk in, but the cotton remained unbothered."Forget it. It's hopeless to think I could win you over like this. Instead, I should just let you owe me a favor. In the future, you must agree to whatever I ask of you." Simon changed the subject.Camilla paused. "As long as the request doesn't cross the line."Simon cocked an eyebrow. "Why didn't you react before? Are you confident in him or yourself?"She believed there couldn't be any dirt on Jayden, and she wouldn't ever be disappointed in him.What a joke.She was truly a romantic.Camilla lowered her gaze and stared at the food i
In the following days, Jayden continued to leave home early and return late at night. At first, Camilla followed him to see what he was up to. But she later discovered he frequently visited Tanya in the hospital, so she stopped following him. She didn't want to feel the heartache anymore.Before she knew it, the day of Nathan's surgery arrived. Camilla spent several days at the hospital with Nathan. His mood had improved significantly, which was beneficial for the surgery.Just before entering the operating room, Camilla held Nathan's hand and reassured him softly, "Don't be afraid. I'll be waiting for you outside."Nathan nodded firmly. "Don't worry. I'm a grown man. This is nothing."Camilla couldn't help but smile at his remark. She had intended to comfort him but ended up being comforted by the little rascal instead."Okay! Give it your best!" Camilla cheered him on.Nathan was wheeled into the operating room.Camilla sat in the waiting area, surrounded by many people who
When Camilla left the hospital, it was already evening. The setting sun disappeared amidst the high-rise buildings. After three busy days, her relaxed heart only brought in waves of pain.She had spent three days in the hospital, and Jayden never showed up. Was he still busy taking care of Tanya? Camilla laughed at herself. Was this what she wanted? Did she feel satisfaction from this?She closed her eyes briefly before she hailed a taxi, and soon, she returned to the Moore manor. The maids were bustling about. When the butler saw her return, he immediately approached her and asked, "Welcome back, Mrs. Moore. Have you eaten?""Not yet," Camilla replied. "Just cook up something light for me.""Very well." The butler nodded and hurried to the kitchen to instruct the chef.Camilla went upstairs and took a shower. She changed into fresh clothes and settled on the couch. Staring at the television, she found herself unable to concentrate.Just then, the sound of a car engine came f
Jayden's brow furrowed at her dismal smile. "No, I never asked her. I just saw this necklace and thought it suited you.""Do you think I'd believe that?" Camilla looked at the necklace in her hand. The diamond was beautiful, shining so brightly under the light that she couldn't bear to look directly at it. Just like her marriage, she couldn't bear to look at it. She couldn't bear to think about the secrets that were kept from her. Yet today, Jayden brought Tanya back with him. What was he doing? Was he planning to take Tanya as his mistress?What's next? Was he going to divorce her? Camilla squeezed the necklace in her hand and took a deep breath. "Jayden, if you don't like me, let's get a divorce."She seemed to have used up all her strength just to say this. Her face instantly turned pale when the words came out. A divorce meant being separated from him. It was no different than forcibly tearing a piece of flesh from her heart. The pain sent ripples through her entire body
Downstairs. Tanya saw Jayden coming down and immediately spoke gently, "Jayden, I hope Ms. West didn't misunderstand our relationship."Jayden had regained his calm and distant demeanor. He replied indifferently, "You should address her as Mrs. Moore."Tanya's expression froze for a moment, but she quickly put on a smile. "Yes, I forgot. She is already your wife." Her words pierced her like a sharp knife, reminding her to stay rational. But when she learned that Jayden and Camilla had gotten married, she felt like she was going crazy!Everything was going as planned. But why did they still get married? They're married ... It meant she was even further from getting married to Jayden. Fortunately, she would soon cross the distance. Something sinister flashed across Tanya's eyes, but it disappeared just as quickly."Jayden, it's my fault. If I hadn't insisted on coming back with you, Mrs. Moore wouldn't have misunderstood. Let me go and explain things to her. We are just normal
They soon arrived at the hospital and went through a series of examinations. Jayden stayed by Camilla's side the whole time. He looked calm, showing no signs of nervousness. Camilla's fingers curled, and her lashes trembled uncontrollably. She dared not think about the result. What if it's true? What should she do if she gets pregnant now? Should she give birth to a child in this dysfunctional family? That child was destined to have an unhappy childhood, just like her. An unhappy childhood takes a lifetime to heal. But what about the other option? But the child was theirs. How could she bear to abort it?Pain flickered in Camilla's eyes. But she forced down her emotions, not allowing her thoughts to stray. "It's okay." Jayden sensed the change in her mood and held her hand. His warm palm enveloped her cold ones as if trying to provide some warmth for her. But Camilla only felt colder. She didn't speak or struggle, merely waiting quietly.After some time, a nurse app
