Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 217

After hearing what I said, Camilla was stunned for a second, and I saw a glimmer in her eyes.

So, I hurriedly continued, "Anyway, summer vacation is long ahead. My mom lives on Oldtown Avenue. There are quite a lot of kids there, but it's safe. My kids are there, too. Fidelia will love it. Let her and her cousins run wild, and it's better than being alone.”

Camilla seemed tempted, looking up at me, cautiously asking, "Wouldn’t that be too much trouble?”

“Come on, Camilla! Don’t be silly. There will be no trouble at all. The kids should be together!" I said with a laugh, "My parents adore kids. They even look after the neighborhood kids, let alone our own!

They’ll take great care of her, and you can rest assured! Ask Fidelia if she wants to go. If she does, I’ll drop her off in a few days and pick up Carl while I'm at it!”

“Carl is also there?” Camilla seemed surprised.

“Yeah! You know, with all that’s happened, I had to rush back here and couldn’t bring Carl with me.” I said with a hint of meaning, laughing carelessly, revealing my sincerity.

Regardless, I have a soft spot for Camilla. She was so down-to-earth, living in the Dawson family like an invisible woman, which was so sad. We were both daughters-in-laws, especially in the Dawson family, we could feel one another's frustration. Who wouldn't feel stifled that way?

She seemed persuaded, looking at me with a humble smile, "Then... then thank you so much! I’ll ask Fidelia’s opinion when I get home!"

"Great! Go ahead and ask! Give me a call when you’ve decided! As soon as I can get around, I’ll take her there!” I promised enthusiastically, trying to ease Camilla's worries.

“Well... I, I don’t have your number!” She cautiously smiled at me, a sight that tugged at my heartstrings.

I laughed, slapping my forehead, quickly pulling out my phone to share my contact. “Here. Please mark my number.”

She hurriedly fished out her phone from her purse, adding my contact, her face lighting up as she added me.

I nodded, quickly accepting her request. "Okay. There we go. Now we can be in touch anytime! We can keep each other updated on things!”

Looking down, I noticed her purse was quite outdated, the edges all worn. To be honest, my heart ached. Jerome, the jerk, had never treated Camilla right despite her unwavering loyalty.
