Connor was struck by a sudden rush of joy, electrifying him from head to heart.
Excitement sparkled in his eyes, and his lips curved into a broad smile as he repeatedly murmured.
"Is Camila jealous?
She saw me give a necklace to someone else, and she got mad!
So that's it... Hahaha."
Rita rolled her eyes at him, unamused.
Was this the brother she had known for over twenty years?
Right now, he seemed utterly foolish!
"Are you even listening to me?"
"Huh?" The excitement on Connor's face was unmistakable as he turned to Rita in confusion.
Rita sighed, pointing at his heart.
"I guessed she might be jealous, but cover your heart and think clearly. What are your feelings towards Camila?"
Connor clutched his racing heart, feeling his pulse quicken, a moment of clarity washing over him.
His eyes slightly reddened, and his hands clasped tightly together.
He couldn't contain his desire to see her and wanted to rush to her side immediately.
His longing was overwhelming.
Rita couldn’t help but smile at his expression, both outwardly and inwardly.
Her emotionally oblivious brother had finally recognized his special feelings for Camila.
Perhaps the two of them could soon be together.
She scoffed at herself wistfully.
Would she and Logan ever have their day?
Her spirits dampened.
"I'm going back. I can't stand to see you acting so stupid anymore."
Connor, in high spirits, didn’t take it to heart, his smile unwavering.
Rita left, and
the more Connor thought about it in his study, the more thrilled he became.
Grabbing his suit jacket, he strode out of the study, his steps quickening until he was almost running down the stairs.
He nearly bumped into Emily.
