Camilla immediately shook her head. "I have been eating properly, Dad. I'm just naturally slim.""Nonsense!" Jackie's frown deepened. "Neither your mom nor I are slim. How could you possibly be naturally slim? You must not have been eating properly. From now on, you'll come home for meals. Even if you don't, I'll have someone deliver food to you. That's final!"Camilla wanted to refuse, but Jackie had already made up his mind. He wasn't going to allow her to decline.Jayden held her hand. "Just listen to Dad. It's for your own good."Camilla could only nod in agreement. "Fine. I'll message you whenever I have a craving for something."Jackie nodded in satisfaction. "That's the spirit. Let's eat!"The family sat around the dining table and began to enjoy their meal.Jackie's culinary skills were exceptional. Every dish he made was perfect. They were so delicious that one would want to savor every last bite.Camilla had a good appetite today. She even asked for extras. Jenna and
"I'm fine," Nathan replied calmly, his gaze fixed on the outside.It was pitch-black outside, whereas the inside of the car was dimly lit. As such, it was difficult to discern Nathan's expression.Camilla was about to say something, but Jayden stopped her.Camilla saw him shaking his head, indicating that she shouldn't speak right now.Camilla bit back her words and glanced at Nathan with concern.Nathan was sensitive. She wondered what he was thinking at the moment. As a boy, having such sensitive thoughts wasn't necessarily a good thing.The car continued its way back to the hospital. After Camilla escorted the two back to their room, she planned to talk to Nathan.However, Jayden stopped her once again. "Don't talk to him about it now.""Why?" Camilla looked puzzled.Jayden spoke gently, "He's caught in a loop of negative thoughts. If you try to persuade him now, he might feel that you've sided with me."Camilla paused. "That can't be, right?"Jayden replied, "I'm a man
"Okay," Kylie whimpered.After ending the call, Camilla instructed the maids to prepare some snacks and fruits. She knew Kylie would probably want to have some.About half an hour later, the sound of a car engine roared at the villa's entrance. Before the car's engine even stopped, Kylie's wailing cries reached her ears.Camilla's brows twitched, and she hurried out to meet her. As soon as she stepped outside, Kylie rushed into her arms."Camilla, Simon is such a scumbag! I knew he was a playboy all along! But I thought he'd change after meeting you! It turns out I was too naive!" Kylie cried, painting Simon as a villain with her words.Camilla patiently listened to Kylie as she guided her into the living room. She led Kylie to the couch and allowed her to continue her rant. After a while, Kylie's tears gradually subsided."Do you want some ice cream?" Camilla picked up an ice cream cone and offered it to her."Yes, please," Kylie sniffled. She took the ice cream and took a big
Kylie pouted and continued, "I really like Simon. But he's a stupid player. I've decided not to like him anymore."Camilla nodded indifferently. "I agree."Kylie suddenly turned to her. "Camilla, do you think Simon still likes you?"Camilla paused. She observed Kylie closely before admitting, "I don't know, and I don't care."Kylie squished the pillow she was holding, looking utterly disappointed. She didn't speak again after that. Instead, she only hugged the pillow closer and wept to herself.Camilla sighed. She knew how Kylie felt. Falling out of love wasn't that easy.Just then, Camilla's phone buzzed. Brandon had arrived. She got up and brought Brandon inside.When he saw the dazed Kylie on the couch, Brandon scolded her irritably, "Get a grip!"Camilla muttered, "Kylie is very emotional right now. Don't take anything she says to heart.""I know." Brandon kept his eyes on Kylie. He gently nudged her. "Kylie, do you want to play some games together?"Kylie's eyes flicke
Brandon's expression darkened. He turned around and started taking off his shirt. He seized her up with a hungry gaze."You're asking for it!" he growled.Kylie challenged him, "You wouldn't dare!"With that, Brandon pounced.Clothes were thrown, and their breaths were mixed together.Brandon kissed her almost frantically, igniting a fire within her."Remember this well, Kylie. You asked for it! Don't think you can get rid of me so soon!" Brandon panted.Kylie's breath quickened. "Enough talking!"She couldn't quite explain the feeling inside her. It was a mixture of bitterness and sadness, yet it wasn't as bad as she thought it would be.Suddenly, the moments she shared with Brandon flashed across her mind.He had always been with her. Maybe she had grown accustomed to him. That was why she had never paid much attention to him. But today, she finally gave him a good look, and her heart fluttered.She never felt this way when she was with Simon.So, how did she feel about S
Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of the manor. Simon opened the car door and got out. He said to Camilla, "Wait for me here."Camilla nodded hesitantly. "Alright."She watched as Simon entered the manor before taking out her phone. She sent a message to Jayden. "The antidote will be ready soon. It looks like you can step down now!"Jayden replied, "Alright, you can be the director from now on."Camilla smiled and sent back a grinning emoji.She put away her phone and looked at the sky outside. She noticed how nice it was and decided to get out of the car.The manor was located in the suburbs and was surrounded by dense forests. The trees swayed, and light seeped through the gaps in the leaves, creating patterns on the ground.Camilla squinted her eyes and enjoyed the moment. She started to fantasize about the day when Jayden would be cured. They could live a good life together then. Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind her. Thinking it was Simon, Camilla didn't feel alert
Scott's tone was incredibly calm. It was as if he were discussing something trivial.Camilla's expression darkened as her suspicions were confirmed. But why? What had Jayden done to make Scott hate him so much?She didn't understand.Scott glanced at her and smiled. "You're quite remarkable, Camilla. If you didn't like Jayden, I wouldn't have used you. Yet, you've gone so far as to hurt and torture yourself for his sake. You're a foolish woman."Camilla didn't say anything.She couldn't say anything. Even if she could, she didn't know what to say.Scott led her up the mountain path. The branches cut her skin, leaving shallow and deep wounds all over her face and arms.The pain woke Camilla up.After what felt like a long time, Scott stopped.Camilla saw that they were surrounded by dense bushes ahead, with hardly any gaps to crawl through. If they tried to pass through, they would undoubtedly end up with all sorts of wounds on their body.Scott hummed. "Alright, let's wait
Camilla immediately shook her head, signaling for Jayden not to come any closer. Simon also piped up, "I can smell gasoline."Jayden's footsteps halted, but his gaze remained fixed on Camilla. Seeing that she only had some minor injuries, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Scott. "I'm the one you're after. Let her go."Scott played with the lighter in his hand. His eyes were filled with resentment as he looked at Jayden. "What do you think is a fate worse than death? I've been asking myself the same question over and over again. "Finally, it struck me. Watching your lover burn to death right before you ought to hurt more than the flame licking at your skin."Simon furrowed his brows. "Have you gone mad?""You're right!" Scott roared. "I'm mad! I went insane the day you sent me my mother's corpse!"Jayden gave him an indifferent look. "I don't know who your mother is.""Haha ... Of course, as the second son of the Moore family, you wouldn't remember such an ins
