Chapter 84
She didn’t understand why the person just now hadn’t accepted the cake she offered.
“Is it good?” Connor asked, tilting his head to look at her as he held a glass of wine.
Camila looked up, their eyes meeting, and she instinctively shook her head, then nodded.
Connor calmly said, “If you like it, eat more. There’s plenty.”
Camila nodded.
“What are you whispering about?” Logan came over with another slice of cake and held it up to Connor. “It is my birthday, so at lesst
have a bite.”
“I don’t eat cake.” Yet as Connor spoke, he took the cake and handed it to Camila beside him. “You eat it for me.”
Logan frowned and clicked his tongue.
“Thank you” Camila whispered her thanks and took the cake. She sat down and started eating quietly.
Logan moved past Connor and sat next to Camila, lifting his wine glass. “Camila, thank you for coming to my birthday party.”
“Happy Birthday,” Camila stood up, picked up a fresh glass of red wine from in front of her, and clinked glasses with Logan. As she was about to drink, Connor grabbed her arm and took the wine glass from her hand. “She can’t drink alcohol.” Then, he downed the wine he had just taken from Camila.
Logan looked surprised. “You’re too protective. It’s just red wine.”
Camila picked up a glass of juice and stood next to Connor, smiling, “Happy Birthday, Mr. Logan. I’ll toast you with juice instead of
wine.”
Logan glanced at Connor out of the comer of his eye. Seeing Connor’s indifferent expression, Logan responded, “Thank you.”
They both finished their drinks.
Someone came over with a glass, joking, “This one’s to Ms. Camila’s golden touch, is Connor going to block this one too?”
Tara, who was good at reading the room, picked up the microphone, “Let’s not just drink, everyone. Let’s sing a song. Il embarrass myself first”
