Chapter 77
“I get her a generous gift,” Connor said.
“You’re just being stubbom.” Emily replied, her tone slightly irritated.
Jonah gently squeezed her hand, his eyes filled with adoration as he smiled and said, “Let the young ones make their own luck. Don’t tet it get to you. It’s not worth your health.”
After their chat, Connor drove back to Cedarhill Estate.
At a red light, Connor tapped his fingers lightly on the steering wheel, his eyes clouded with confusion.
Why did everyone keep saying he had feelings for Camila? Camila was just a secretary he found particularly competent.
His heart had always belonged to another. Now, she was engaged…
He pressed play on the music player, and a familiar melody filled the car, as if she was there singing to him. The music continued, enveloping him in song as his thoughts swirled with complex emotions and a touch of regret.
The following morning, Camila arrived at Cedarhill Estate on time, where her treadmill was already set up.
They jogged on their respective machines. For some reason, Camila felt that Connor was unusually quiet today, more silent than usual.
When teaching Taekwondo moves, he only gave commands, no extra words.
Thinking he was in a bad mood, Camila didn’t complain of tiredness.
“That’s enough for today. Go freshen up,” Connor said, wiping his sweat with a clean white towel before leaving the gym, leaving Camila
alone.
Camila collapsed on the floor, breathing heavily after the grueling workout. She dragged herself into her room, amazed at how quickly David had transformed it. The room was refreshed with light pink bedding and new wallpaper.
There were also several large stuffed animals, typical male taste.
Drying her intimate apparel at a man’s house seemed inappropriate. Taking them home to dry wasn’t practical, so she reluctantly took them to the laundry room.
“Good morning, David.”
“Camila, do you like the room? Let me know if you need anything.”
“It’s wonderful. You’ve been very thoughtful. Is the house always this spotless? Do you clean every day?”
