Simon furrowed his brow, but he took one glance at Camilla and didn't insist. He simply said, "Then I'll get going now.""Okay." Camilla nodded and watched Simon leave.After Simon left, Camilla turned to Kylie and asked curiously, "You seem to be hostile around Simon."Something flashed across Kylie's eyes. "I used to think he was deeply in love with you. But I had someone investigate his past. And let me tell you, it was beyond shocking. I was startled when I found out. He has had so many ex-girlfriends that they could form a line around the world. He was your typical playboy."Camilla felt indifferent toward the information. "He's not married, nor does he have a fiancée. It's natural for rich bachelors like him.""You're quite open-minded," Kylie pouted. "Enough. Let's get in the car. Are you going back to the Moore manor?" "Yes." Camilla nodded. Her hand rested on her abdomen. She didn't want to return there, but where else could she go? She was still waiting for Jayden's
Camilla's guts told her a different story. But changing the bed sheets and covers wasn't a big deal, so she didn't think much of it.Back on the bed, Jayden leaned in, But Camilla coldly said, "Don't touch me."Jayden froze, but he still embraced her. "Sweetheart, I can't sleep without holding you."Camilla's heart raced. But the thought of the unresolved matter with Tanya quickly cooled her down. She closed her eyes and turned her back to Jayden. "I'm tired. Don't disturb me.""Fine." Jayden didn't continue to bother her. He was content with just holding her. His steady breath fell on her back.Camilla had a long nap before this, so now she wasn't sleepy. She calmly gazed at the dark night sky outside the window. The sky seemed like the mouth of a beast, devouring her relentlessly.Sadness and sorrow spread through her.Camilla closed her eyes.Why wouldn't he tell her what the experiment was about? She was even willing to believe in a stupid experiment.Grief flooded her lik
Camilla smiled faintly. "I will."Nathan wanted to continue but decided not to in the end. His sister would tell him eventually. Maybe it wasn't the right timing. He would be patient.His sister was good to him. He should trust her.After lunch, Camilla left the hospital and stood by the roadside to hail a taxi. Just then, her phone suddenly rang. She took it out and looked at it. All of a sudden, despite the sunlight shining down on her, she couldn't feel the warmth. Instead, a bone-chilling coldness seeped into her and spread throughout her body.She paled instantly at the content on her phone. She stood there like a statue, motionless. The phone kept vibrating, and Kylie kept sending her messages. "That damn bastard! I hope he dies soon!"Another read: "Camilla, are you still going to endure after everything that happened? The only shit he hasn't done is take that slut home and fuck her in front of you!"Again, it read: "I'm about to explode with anger! Camilla, what should
"Move," Camilla commanded, emanating a frigid demeanor that sent chills down the butler's spine. He hesitated to make physical contact with her. But how could he sit back and watch Camilla jump off the building?"Please don't make this hard for me, Mrs. Moore. If anything happens to you, Mr. Moore will surely have my head. I have children of my own, madam. I'm just doing my job. Please don't be rash and wait for Mr. Moore to come home, okay?" the butler advised earnestly.Camilla closed her eyes. "I won't jump off the building. But I'm going to rest."The butler paused at this. "Then … then I'll go up with you."He didn't dare let Camilla go up alone.Camilla didn't reply and merely went up to her room. Of course, she wouldn't jump off the building. How could she bear to give up on her child?This was their child—the symbol of her perfect love life.But it was also just a child. As for her love fantasy, those were long gone.Half an hour later, the sound of a car engine cut t
Camilla was lost in a daze, and her eyes stared emptily into the distance. She was devastated, yet she couldn't help but agree to Jayden again and again.It had been the same when they first got together, when they got married, and even now.What should she do?Just then, her phone rang. It was a call from Cheryl, and this was a call she must answer."Hello, Mom." Camilla tried her best to recompose herself and put on her usual voice."Are you home, Camilla?" Cheryl's voice was laced with worry. "I made some soup, and I'm bringing them over now. Are you free?""I am. Thank you, Mom." Camilla lowered her eyes, and sounded like she was about to cry."Alright. I'll head over now." With that, Cheryl ended the call.Camilla remained rooted in the chair on the balcony. It wasn't until she heard the sound of a car engine that she snapped out of her daze and went downstairs.Cheryl held Camilla's hand when she saw her and gave her a once-over. "Are you okay, Camilla? I saw the news.
That evening, Camilla refused to eat before Jayden returned.Jayden only arrived home at 9 pm. He walked in hurriedly, looking like he was in a rush.When the butler saw him, he immediately approached him. "You're finally home, Mr. Moore. Mrs. Moore has been waiting to have dinner with you."Jayden furrowed his brows. "She hadn't eaten?""No. I tried to persuade her, but she insisted on waiting for you." The butler sighed helplessly."I understand. Please ask the cook to prepare food for us." Jayden nodded and went upstairs.In the study room.Camilla was reading a book in front of the bookshelf. She was reading some books on biology, but the content inside was difficult to understand.However, Camilla was a genius. She effortlessly absorbed the information without the need for contemplation, understanding it with just a cursory glance."Camilla," sounded a warm voice behind her.Camilla spun around and saw Jayden walking in. The top few buttons of his shirt were undone, and
Jayden's dark eyes appeared incredibly profound under the cover of night, making it difficult to discern his emotions. He held Camilla's hand. "I apologize for not coming home earlier."Camilla paused briefly, then a smile blossomed on her face. "And here I was, thinking you were apologizing for having dinner with someone else. It turns out I was mistaken."Jayden's fingers trembled, and he immediately pulled Camilla into a tight hug. Clutching her tightly, he held on as if he never wanted to let go, as if he yearned to merge their beings into one.In that fleeting moment, he had a feeling that Camilla was going to leave him.However, he quickly brushed off the thought. She absolutely couldn't leave him.They were already married.In his world, divorce was simply not an option. Even in death, she could only be his wife and take up his last name."Camilla, it's my fault. I shouldn't have lied to you. I'm sorry." Jayden's voice was laced with panic as he held her tightly.Cam
The next morning.Camilla woke up early and went to make breakfast herself, not letting the chef help. She was actually quite skilled in cooking. Growing up in a poor family, she had to learn all the necessary life skills at an early age. Fortunately, she had learned them well.Camilla had just taken off her apron when Jayden came down. He approached her. "Why are you cooking all of a sudden?"Camilla replied indifferently, "Nathan misses my cooking. So, I made him his favorite waffles. I'll bring them to him later."Jayden cocked an eyebrow. "What about me?"Camilla paused for a moment. "What about you? The chefs will prepare breakfast for you."Jayden's eyes flickered as he held her hand. "I also want to eat the waffles you made. I've never had a meal you cooked before."But Camilla withdrew her hand. "You should eat without me. I have to go to the hospital. This is a critical time for Nathan's recovery. I'm leaving now."With that, Camilla took the food container and lef
