This time, Camilla didn't reject him outright.
It was true that before, she hadn't wanted his help.
She had wanted to avoid any further entanglement with him.
But now...
Just as he had pointed out, they had already kissed and held each other, more than once.
And she had promised to stop running away from him.
What else could she do?
She remained quiet for a few seconds before asking, "How are you planning to do it?"
"My way," Lambert replied smoothly. "One word from me, and he wouldn't dare refuse to sign the papers."
"No!" Camilla immediately vetoed the idea. "If you do that, he'll definitely start questioning our relationship..."
"Are you afraid he'll question it?" Lambert held her gaze. "We do have a relationship, don't we?"
"No, we don't..." Camilla sounded guilty. "Even if we do, it's strictly platonic."
"Platonic? You cuddle with your platonic friends? You kiss them and feel them up?"
"Stop talking!" Camilla felt like her face was going to catch fire. "How long are you going to hold that over my head?"
"For the rest of my life," Lambert stated casually. "You did it, and now I'm not allowed to talk about it? You get to kiss and touch me whenever the mood strikes, but I don't even have the right to bring it up?"
"You touch me whenever you feel like it!" Camilla snapped, thoroughly flustered. "What do you call what you're doing right now?"
Lambert, who was currently tracing lazy circles on her ankle, merely smirked. "This is different. I'm keeping you warm, not taking advantage for my own benefit. Besides, you touched my abs, and you kissed my..."
"Stop!" Camilla desperately wanted to clamp her hands over her ears. "I was wrong, okay?"
"You weren't wrong. You just couldn't help yourself," Lambert teased mercilessly. "You saw me and completely lost control. I understand."
"No, I didn't..." Camilla wanted the earth to swallow her whole. "Stop saying it like that."
He was making her sound like a total creep.
"Fine, we'll change the subject," Lambert yielded gracefully. "Regarding your divorce, can I ask a few more questions?"
Camilla finally let out a sigh of relief.
As long as they weren't talking about all the kissing and touching, she was willing to discuss anything.
"Go ahead."
Lambert leaned back slightly. "Are you absolutely certain you want a divorce?"
