Divorce Him, Then Dazzle novel Chapter 175

Before the dinner, Catheleen had said that because of the bar incident, Lambert was unhappy, and they needed to say nice things to appease him.

Camilla hadn't done that.

She didn't know how to appease people, nor did she have any intention of trying to placate a man who was a virtual stranger to her.

Not only did she fail to appease him, she seemed to have made him even more upset.

When Catheleen came out of the restroom, she keenly sensed that the atmosphere at the table was off.

In her mind, Lambert was powerful, stern, and indomitable.

Her only worry was that Camilla might have been bullied.

"Cammie, are you okay?" she asked, sitting down next to Camilla with a concerned tone. "Why did you stop eating?"

Camilla said, "I'm full."

Now Catheleen was even more certain that Lambert must have said something unpleasant to make Camilla angry.

But it felt too awkward to ask.

The meal, which had started with a fairly good atmosphere, ended on a somewhat sour note.

When it was time to pay the bill, Lambert spoke up. "Just put it on my account."

"There's no need, thank you, Mr. White." Camilla insisted on paying herself. "I said it was my treat."

Her tone was firm, her small, fair face devoid of any smile.

Irritation welled up inside Lambert. His face became a dark mask, and he didn't say anything more.

While Camilla went to pay, Catheleen took the opportunity to ask, "Lambert, what's wrong?"

Lambert's face remained taut. He wiped his hands with a hot towel, stood up, and put on his coat.

He didn't say a single word.

Once outside the restaurant, he finally spoke. "Get in the car. I'll take you home."

Just as Catheleen was about to move, Camilla held her back.

Camilla said, "We won't trouble you, Mr. White. Catheleen and I need to buy something nearby."

Lambert glanced at her. His gaze was deep, but it no longer held its previous heat.

This time, Camilla didn't look away. She even gave him a small smile. "Drive safely, Mr. White."

"Catheleen, I'm sorry," Camilla said, stopping in her tracks. "I'm moving."

Catheleen was stunned. "What?"

She thought maybe the wind had carried the words away and she'd misheard.

Camilla repeated, "I'm moving out."

"Cammie!" Catheleen became frantic. "What do you mean? Didn't we agree you'd stay with me?"

"Yes, I'm breaking my promise. I'm so sorry..."

"Please don't move, Cammie!" Catheleen begged, shaking her arm. "It's so nice living together! We have so much fun, and we can look out for each other. If you leave, what am I going to do all by myself in that huge apartment?"

Camilla didn't say anything.

Catheleen let go of her and stomped her foot. "Cammie! I'm really getting angry now!"

Camilla suddenly pulled her into a hug. "I'm sorry..."

"Don't be like this." Catheleen was both angry and heartbroken. "Why are you moving out? We had an agreement..."

"Catheleen," Camilla said, adjusting Catheleen's collar. "You know that after my divorce, I plan to go back to school. I'll have to live on campus then anyway."
