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
"Tammy, there's something I want to ask you. Did you feel any discomfort when you were pregnant? Is there anything I should keep in mind?" Jayden asked.Tamara, who was watching TV, sat up abruptly. "Jayden, what are you implying? Is Camilla pregnant?""Yes." Jayden's tone grew cheerier.Tamara was pleasantly surprised. "That's great news! I wasn't expecting this so soon. In that case, I'll come over first thing tomorrow morning. It's hard to explain everything over the phone.""Okay," Jayden agreed and hung up the phone. An uncontrollable smile formed on his lips as his gaze searched the manor. He began looking for a nursery. The manor was huge and had many rooms. He needed to carefully consider the nursery's location.…The next day. Camilla woke up at 10 am. She opened her eyes in a daze, looking at the exquisite ceiling. Memories from the previous day resurfaced in her mind. Her hands rested on her abdomen. She was pregnant.She didn't know whether to be happy or sad.A
Jayden listened attentively to all the instructions and even took notes. Camilla observed him closely. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions. However, she didn't show it. Cheryl was done with the soup, and the family went to the dining room to eat. Cheryl added some more instructions."Jayden, you can research other things yourself and even hire a professional doula to take care of Camilla. But there's one thing I must remind you of. You're already married, and Camilla is now pregnant. You're soon going to have a happy family. I don't want you to ruin your own home due to some impulsive thoughts," Cheryl warned sternly.Tamara's eyes flickered, and she glanced at Camilla, who was sipping the soup, seemingly unaffected.How could she be unaffected? Even Tamara didn't understand why Jayden had acted that way when she found out. Although it was a daring guess to her, it was a huge blow to Camilla.After learning about Camilla's pregnancy, Tamara didn't know how to react. Should
Jayden's head snapped to the side. He pressed his tongue against his cheek and gave her an indifferent look. "Camilla, we should rest now." With that, he grabbed her wrist and trapped her on the bed, forcefully making her rest.Camilla struggled, but she was no match for Jayden. Exhausted from the struggle, Camilla gasped for breath. She stared at the ceiling as amusement suddenly washed over her.This was the person she had loved. He seemed gentle on the surface. But in reality, he was ruthless. He had never changed his mind about anything. He was the same when he held her hostage and demanded a million dollars. And even now, when he chose to keep her by his side and claimed to love her. It seemed that from the very beginning, she had no right to refuse.Camilla closed her eyes from the pain. She felt extremely drowsy. But tonight was bound to be a sleepless one. She watched as the night turned to day with a dull expression.The person beside her moved and wrapped his arm
