Simon frowned. "That's probably just a myth. There's no way that actually happened.""Oh, it happened." Charlotte nodded.Kylie waved her hand and said, "Stop talking about it. It's so gross. Good thing it's not a true story, because if it was, I'd be worse off for it."Charlotte smiled. "Aren't you usually the brave one?"Kylie shook her head. "Oh, no, I'm a coward through and through.""So you're aware of that?" Simon insulted her mercilessly.Kylie glared at him. "What is it to you? Why do you keep sticking your nose in everyone's business?"Simon narrowed his eyes and shot Kylie a dirty look.Upon seeing that, Camilla said, "Alright, let's change the subject before you two get in a fight. It sucks being the mediator, you know?"Kylie scoffed and turned away from Simon, who snorted with a hint of mockery. Charlotte said in a resigned tone, "Mr. Dashner has been very forgiving with you so far. If you're rude to him again and he decides to punish you, I won't be able to sav
It was a medical report.Tanya's name was on it.Camilla furrowed her brows. Why did Tanya send her her medical report?Ms. Reed noticed the name on the report and immediately looked worried. "Mrs. Moore, I don't think you should look through it. Let's wait for Mr. Moore to come home first."Camilla had a bad feeling about it. She nodded. "Alright."Ms. Reed didn't expect Camilla to agree so readily and couldn't help but sigh in relief.Camilla took the medical report and went upstairs. She sat on a chair and stared at the name on the paper. Was Tanya sick? What kind of illness did she have? Why did she send the report to Camilla?A series of questions flooded Camilla's mind. Camilla was hesitant to go through the report. But when she thought about Jayden, she decided to wait for him so they could go through it together.Camilla got up and changed her clothes. She took a few steps and couldn't resist texting Simon. "Mr. Dashner, can you help me check something?"Simon
Camilla clenched her fists tightly. It took a moment before she said, "Since he's busy, let's have a video call instead. I want to see what he's up to."With that, Camilla hung up the phone.While Tanya was still in a daze, the video call request came through. Tanya froze at the request, her lips tightly pursed together."What are you doing?" a cold voice suddenly sounded.Tanya's hand trembled, and she almost dropped the phone.Jayden strode over and took the phone from her. He glanced at the screen and swiftly answered the call."Camilla, it's not what you think ..." Jayden hurriedly explained.Camilla chuckled. "I know."Seeing her calm demeanor, Jayden couldn't help but relax. His sharp glare snapped towards Tanya.Tanya stood in place and felt like a clown.Camilla spoke slowly, "She answered my call and said you were busy. I got curious about what you were doing. After all, why would she be using your phone? So, I started a video call. Who knew she was too cowardly to
"Stop pacing around. It's not dinner time yet." Jackie came out of the kitchen, having already prepared dinner. He saw how anxious Jenna was and was quick to comfort her.Jenna mumbled, "I'll go pick Camilla up. Do you think it's safe for her to come here alone?"Jackie immediately clicked his tongue. "Don't jinx it."Jenna slapped a hand over her mouth. "Yes, you're right. I need to stop.""Sir, madam, Ms. Camilla has arrived," the butler announced.Jackie and Jenna immediately headed for the door. They saw a car parked outside the gate. A man and a woman got out of the car and walked towards them."Who is that man?" Jackie furrowed his brows."He might be Camilla's boyfriend. Don't just stand there. Let's go welcome them." Jenna ignored Jackie and stepped forward."Mom," Camilla greeted Jenna."You're just in time. Your dad has just finished preparing dinner." Jenna smiled.Camilla pointed to Jayden. "Mom, this is my husband, Jayden."Jayden immediately greeted, "Hello,
The family sat together at the dining table. The food placed on the table was all Camilla's favorites. Jenna smiled at Camilla. "You should have told us you were bringing Mr. Moore over. We would have prepared him his favorites."Jackie argued, "Do you know what he likes?"Jenna paused.Jayden smiled gently. "Uncle Jackie, Aunt Jenna, I like whatever Camilla likes. You don't need to go through the trouble."He had previously dropped the formalities with the older couple. But sensing Jackie's hostility towards him, Jayden immediately changed his approach. He had to get closer to the older couple before acting friendly with them."Let's eat." Jenna noticed the dark look on Jackie and decided to change the subject.Camilla turned to Jayden and saw that he appeared calm and unaffected. A hint of amusement flashed across her eyes. She was still getting to know her biological parents. Jackie's behavior left her puzzled. She did not know what had gone wrong.After an awkward dinn
Jenna nodded. "It seems the both of you have a good relationship. If he willingly did this for you, I can rest assured."Camilla smiled. "He treats me very well."Jenna observed Camilla's smile and decided to let them be.Meanwhile, in the living room. Jayden sat across from Jackie. Seeing Jackie's cold demeanor, Jayden's lips curved into a faint smile."I understand that you are worried I might mistreat Camilla. But how can you judge me based on just one meeting? Your relationship with Camilla is also still at an awkward stage. I can help you get closer to her. I hope you'll give me a chance to prove my love for Camilla and ease your worry," Jayden spoke calmly. His words were neither offensive nor was he demeaning himself. He stared silently at Jackie.Jackie glanced at him. "Young people nowadays like to use sweet words to deceive girls. I don't know how you and my daughter met and got married. But now that we have reunited as father and daughter, I absolutely won't allow her
Jackie and Jenna had already prepared the room. Once Camilla reentered the manor, they led her to the second floor. Jackie opened the door to the room and smiled. "Camilla, do you like this room?"Camilla looked inside, and her jaw dropped. The room was entirely pink. From the walls and curtains to the bed canopy, bedsheets, carpets, and dolls … Everything was in various shades of pink!Jackie grinned in embarrassment. "Actually, this room has been prepared long before you were born. But things happened. Every year on your birthday, we would add something to this room. Before we knew it, it filled to the brim."Jenna nodded. "That's right. We thought that since girls like pink, we should decorate the room in various shades of it. Camilla, do you like it?"Camilla was still stunned. "I like it. Thank you, Mom, Dad."Jackie and Jenna sighed with relief. Jenna said, "Go inside and see if you need anything else.""Okay." Camilla nodded and entered the room.The room was quit
Jayden smirked. "Sweetheart, we're married. Why are you still so shy?"Camilla paused. "There should still be some mystique surrounding our relationship. What if I get bored of you?""Will you?" Jayden stared at her. His slender fingers slowly undid his shirt buttons. One by one, his flawless skin slowly came into view.Camilla fell silent.Jayden's body wasn't porcelain white. Although it was fair, it looked toned. All his muscles were hidden under his clothing, giving him a lean look.Camilla hummed.It seemed like she would never get bored of this.Seeing Camilla's gaze, Jayden's smile widened. He leaned in and whispered, "I don't think I'll ever get tired of you."Camilla gritted her teeth.She promptly shut her phone. She was done with the conversation!How did she never realize how flirtatious Jayden was?Camilla's face was bright red as she dried her hair. But she quickly got back to her senses. Why should she back down?She turned on her phone again and was greeted
