“Do you not remember?” Camila asked, furrowing her brows.
Drew shook his head.
Camila sighed, “You got drunk last night at a bar, called me, and Craig and I had to carry you back here.”
“Sorry, Camila…” Drew hung his head low, murmuring, “I’ve caused you trouble again.”
Connor, overhearing their conversation, gradually pieced together what had happened.
A slight smile formed on his lips. Her boyfriend didn’t stay the night.
“What about you?” Camila turned and glared at Connor.
Connor, caught off guard, found himself at a loss for words. He strained to recall last night’s events.
He only remembered seeing her boyfriend here, drinking heavily at his place, but why he ended up here was beyond him. He shook his head blankly, and his eyes were filled with innocence and confusion.
Camila suppressed the anger bubbling inside her. Her mind was buzzing. She cursed inwardly, “This jerk, completely forgetting the mess he has made!”
“Is that your boyfriend?” Drew whispered quietly.
Connor couldn’t help but smile more broadly, thinking Drew was really quite endearing.
“Not yet,” he whispered back.
“So, he’s your future boyfriend?” Drew asked again.
Connor’s eyes brightened, and his lips curved up slightly, secretly pleased.
Drew gave a meaningful “oh,” as if he figured something out.
Camila glared at them, visibly annoyed. “Disgusting! Go take a shower!” she ordered.
“There are new toiletries in the bathroom. Come out and have breakfast after you’re done,” Camila told Drew.
Drew nodded and quickly headed for the bathroom.
“You, come with me.” Camila glanced at Connor. Her tone was harsh as she issued the command.
Connor immediately got out of bed and followed her.
Camila led him to her bedroom and closed the door. She turned to face Connor taking a deep breath. She guessed that he must have seen John last night and misunderstood, drowning his sorrows in drink.
“How did you end up here?” Camila asked. Ads by PubFuture
“I don’t know… I blacked out… can’t remember,” Connor said. His voice was timid, intimidated by Camila’s anger.
Camila sighed, massaging her temples.
This guy!
Even though Cedarhill Estate wasn’t far, it was still dangerous to walk here drunk late at night!
She couldn’t help but worry. She didn’t want him to get into any trouble.
She took a deep breath. “Did you see John yesterday?”
At that name, Connor’s brow furrowed immediately.
He was sensitive about this topic, and a flicker of displeasure crossed his eyes.
He didn’t answer, just stared silently at Camila. Ads by PubFuture
“He’s not my boyfriend,” Camila stated flatly.
Connor’s heart skipped a beat,
nearly leaping out of his chest. He
stared intensely at Camila. Hic Heel
pupils trembled slightly, as if he
couldn’t believe his ears. S
Camila continued, “He was just helping me get rid of Howard.”
Her words were like a fresh set
instantly clearing the clouds in
Connor’s mind. He felt his facial muscles relax involuntarily, and his lips curved into a smile. Content
His mood exploded like fireworks, which were colorful and bright, illuminating his entire world.
Connor rushed forward and embraced Camila. He blurted out, “You, you… you don’t have a boyfriend!”
The joy in his eyes and brows became even more evident. He was almost unable to control his excitement. “Now I can pursue you openly!” Camila struggled in his embrace, muttering, “Yeah, whatever.”
