A One Night Stand With My Boss (by Ela Osaretin) novel Chapter 355

After a long day at work, it was finally time to head home.

At the dinner table, Connor was serving Camila some roasted veggies while gently saying, "I've had the house you rented renovated. Let's find a time to move your things back."

Camila pouted and muttered, "My security deposit..."

"Still worried about that? If you had just told me, why would you need to move?" Connor grumbled, a hint of frustration in his voice.

Camila blinked, a bit taken aback. "What? How is this suddenly my fault? What right did I have to ask you anything back then? What was I to you?"

Connor was left speechless, guilt washing over him. After a moment of silence, he gently held her hand, his face full of regret. "My fault, all my fault. I’ve been as dense as a brick, not realizing I’d fallen for you sooner. I'm sorry for any hurt caused. Can you forgive me?"

Then, with a pained addition, he said, "Hit me if it makes you feel better."

He turned his face toward Camila, presenting his cheek to her like a sacrificial lamb. Camila fought back a smile and pinched his cheek.

"Hmph! I won't stoop to arguing." A smile played at the corners of her mouth as she continued eating.

Connor kissed the back of her hand and playfully whined, "I'm all yours now, you have to take care of me. I don’t want to live alone in an apartment anymore, can we cancel the lease?"

Camila’s cheeks flushed, and retracting her hand, she said softly, "Okay, I'll call the landlord tomorrow."

Connor’s face lit up with joy. "Great, tomorrow we’ll move everything back to our place!"

Our place... Camila paused slightly. That was Connor’s home, not hers. Sensing her emotional shift, Connor quickly added, "I’ll transfer the Cedarhill Estate property into your name."

Camila looked up, blinking rapidly. Connor continued, "I know you feel insecure. I’ll have the papers ready, and I’ll arrange the transfer tomorrow."
