Jayden hung up the phone when he noticed Camilla entering the living room. Camilla's phone also stopped ringing."Why are you home so late?" Jayden walked up to her. There was a weird look in his gaze."I had dinner with Kylie. Were you waiting for me?" Camilla blinked and returned a calm look."I was." Jayden nodded. "I came home early today because I wanted to have dinner with you.""Well, I'm sorry," Camilla smirked, "I've already eaten. I have other things to attend to."With that, she headed towards the stairs."Camilla," Jayden's voice rang out, "Didn't you say we should discuss the wedding? Why don't you tell me your thoughts?"Camilla paused for a moment. She calmly muttered, "I don't feel like talking about it today. Let's discuss it tomorrow."Jayden stared at her retreating figure, and his breathing grew heavy. She was growing distant from him. Did she no longer like him? How could that be? In his mind, she should love him forever. Jayden took off his glasses
Jayden furrowed his brows at Camilla but didn't comment on her behavior. He merely spun on his heels and left.Camilla stopped typing, a strong sense of disappointment appearing in her gaze. She had been hoping that Jayden would say something. But why was he still refusing to talk even now? He didn't want to tell her the truth, yet he wanted to discuss their wedding. He was even entangled with Tanya.What did he want exactly?Camilla's heart ached. She took a deep breath, recollected her thoughts, and continued typing on the keyboard. A sketch of a wedding dress slowly took shape on the computer screen....The next day.When Camilla came out of her bedroom in the morning, she heard Cheryl's voice from downstairs."How are Jayden and Camilla getting along?" Cheryl asked the butler.The butler replied, "They have been acting strange. They seem to have had an argument, but they both appear calm. Mrs. Moore didn't come home yesterday, and she didn't make breakfast for Mr. Moor
Camilla went upstairs to change her clothes before leaving with Tamara and Cheryl. They were going to camp at Cherrytown, a nature park near Clacton. It was a vast area. By the time they arrived, the bodyguards had already set up the tents.Tamara took out the prepared food and turned to Camilla. "The scenery here is quite nice, and there's fresh air all around. Do you feel more relaxed being here?"Camilla hummed and nodded. She looked at the clear lake and the lush green trees in the distance, with birds occasionally flying by. Her heavy mood seemed to improve.Just then, her phone vibrated. She took it out and saw it was a message from Ronan.Ronan texted, "5 pm at West Bull restaurant. The third private room. Should I come to pick you up?"Camilla replied, "There's no need. I'll go by myself."Ronan responded, "Okay."...Cheryl handed Camilla a bottle of juice. "What's on your mind?""It's nothing." Camilla accepted the juice and smiled faintly.She felt resistance tow
Tanya looked pitiful, taking all the blame upon herself. She looked like a delicate flower.Both Cheryl and Camilla had dark looks on their faces.Jayden glanced at Tanya and spoke indifferently, "Then why did you insist on tagging along?"Tanya felt speechless.Camilla's eyes flickered towards Jayden, noticing his cold look. But when he felt her gaze on him, a smile formed on his face. With a gentle look in his eyes, he approached her. "This is indeed a nice place. It's ideal for relaxing."His gaze was gentle and affectionate, different from how he had confronted Tanya earlier.Tanya gritted her teeth. Still, she continued with her delicate act.Cheryl stared at Tanya and suddenly spoke up, "I just remembered. The Moore family had worked with the Huntsman family several times. Ms. Huntsman, may I know if you've been involved in your family matters?"Tanya smiled faintly. "That's why I came back. I want to help my parents with family matters.""That's perfect. I need you
The scenery by the lake was beautiful, with birds occasionally flying overhead. Cheryl walked ahead with an icy expression. She had been taking good care of herself and looked only to be in her thirties."Miss Huntsman, did you come back from overseas for your family? Or was it to marry into the Moore family?" Cheryl did not beat around the bush.Tanya was taken aback and quickly replied, "You've misunderstood, Mrs. Moore. I only came back to help my family.""If that's the case, why haven't you returned to the Huntsman family after being back for so long? Why do you keep following Jayden around?" Cheryl turned to look at Tanya coldly. "Don't think that by destroying Jayden's marriage, you can marry into the Moore family. I can't stop Jayden from taking you as his mistress, but you will never marry into the Moore family."Tanya looked distressed. "That's not it, Mrs. Moore. I'm only here because Jayden needed my help for his experiment.""He needs your help? How could you possib
"No." Camilla tilted her head at Tamara curiously. "Why do you ask?"Tamara's eyes flickered. "It's normal to feel discomfort during your pregnancy. But you probably won't feel much since you're only a little over a month into the pregnancy.""What about you?" That piqued Camilla's interest. "How did you feel when you were pregnant?""How did I feel ..." Tamara thought for a moment. "Nothing much. It went quite smoothly." Her three babies were very considerate and didn't cause her much trouble."I hope it will be the same for me." Camilla touched her stomach. She couldn't feel any signs of life growing inside yet.Tamara smiled gently. "Don't worry. Judging by the looks of it, you probably won't have a hard time."Camilla nodded slightly and didn't say anything else.Both of them fell silent, lost in their own thoughts.Cheryl soon returned. When she saw the two girls sitting in a daze, she couldn't help but smile. "What are you two thinking about?""I wasn't thinking abou
Tamara grew speechless. She stared at Cheryl helplessly, pondering, "Why did Cheryl look so unbothered? Camilla is her daughter-in-law.""Don't look at me like that," Cheryl said faintly, "Being worried won't change anything. It's Jayden who messed things up with his wife. Do you think I can talk his wife into staying?"Tamara remained silent. She thought that Cheryl had a point....Their camping trip ended in the afternoon. Tamara and Cheryl sent Camilla back to the Moore manor before leaving.Camilla took a quick lounge on her bed before getting up again. She checked the time. She still had some time before 5 pm rolled around. Camilla went to freshen up and changed into a different outfit. It was almost time to meet with Ronan. Camilla stared at her reflection in the mirror. A wave of nervousness suddenly washed over her.Just then, her phone rang. It was a call from Jayden. Camilla blinked before answering, "Hello?""Have you rested?" Jayden's gentle voice came through
"I haven't." Camilla turned to Jenna, who was in tears, and handed her a tissue.Jenna took the tissue with trembling hands. Her emotions overwhelmed her, and she covered her face to cry.Camilla felt a bit awkward. Jackie's eyes also reddened, but he was a man and could control his emotions well. He looked at Camilla and said cautiously, "I hope you don't mind. We have searched for you for many years and nearly lost hope. We never thought a miracle would happen, so our emotions might be a bit out of control. You ..." Jackie wanted to continue, but looking at Camilla's reserved look, he decided not to. "Please, have a seat. What would you like to eat?"He handed the menu to Camilla.Camilla muttered, "You can order. I'm fine with anything."Ronan and Noah exchanged a helpless look.Ronan chimed, "Uncle Jackie, Aunt Jenna, please calm down. You might scare Camilla away."Noah turned to Camilla. "Relax a little. Treat this like a ... meeting with friends."Camilla grew silent a
