“Don’t bother packing everything. You might be moving back soon,” Connor muttered.
Camila didn’t respond, silently taking a painting from the wardrobe.
“This is Peter’s painting. I’m not comfortable having such a valuable item in the new house. Keep it at your place.”
Connor stared at the painting titled “Legacy,” and his mind suddenly sparked an idea. There was a sly smile playing on his lips. This could definitely earn him some brownie points!
“Alright, I’ll keep it in my bedroom for now.”
“You better take good care of it!” Camila instructed.
“Absolutely! This painting means a lot. I’ll take great care of it,” Connor promised earnestly, with a mischievous glint in his eyes. “I’ll come over tomorrow to help you move.”
Camila shook her head gently, smiling as she declined. “I’ve already called a moving company, and Erica will be helping too. It’s not a lot of stuff, and the two of us can handle it, so don’t bother coming over.”
When he heared this, Connor’s brow furrowed slightly, and his tone carried an almost imperceptible hint of displeasure. “Why is Erica always involved?”
Camila chuckled, finding Connor’s somewhat childish demeanor both adorable and amusing.
Connor knew he shouldn’t be so petty, but every time he saw Erica around her, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy.
The next morning.
At the hotel.
“I’m leaving soon. I’m going to see my bestie,” Erica said casually while applying makeup.
