Divorced the Cheat Married the Fleet (Camilla and Lance) novel Chapter 255

Darwin’s grip tightened on his cane. When his eyes landed on Lance, the anger inside him practically boiled over. He scoffed, “You really think you’re something now, don’t you? You…” His voice caught before he could finish. For a moment, he just couldn’t get the words out.

The truth was, Darwin had already talked with Lance about all this before he ever sought out Camilla. Just remembering how stubborn Lance had been gave him a headache.

But this time, Lance finished his sentence for him. “You’re about to bring up she isn’t divorced yet, right? Please. She’s almost divorced anyway. And so what if she’s not? I’d still be the one fighting for her, even if it means being the other guy. I’d be the one willingly stepping in to raise someone else’s kid. You know how I am—I’m stubborn as hell. If she doesn’t say yes, I wait a day. If she never says yes, I’ll wait my whole life. Nobody’s going to talk me out of it. And if you really can’t stand the idea, you can just kick me out of The Charles Family. My dad can always have another son. But I’m not changing my mind.”

“Lance…” Chiwei called out softly, never expecting a conversation that started out so ordinary to get this out of hand just because Lance showed up.

She tried to calm him down, her voice barely above a whisper. Lance glanced over at Camilla. “This is family business, nothing to do with you. Where do you need to go? I’ll have someone take you.”

Camilla stepped in, trying again. “Lance, Darwin hasn’t said anything yet. You…”

“Camilla, it doesn’t matter what he thinks. I’m not giving up on you, no matter what. Don’t worry about money. Even without The Charles Family, I can give you more than Barnard ever did. Trust me, you don’t need to worry about me. Just go,” Lance said.

He grabbed her bag, slung it over her shoulder, and, before she could argue, gently nudged her out into the hallway.

Camilla stood outside for a moment, feeling like her brain was still trying to process how everything had spiraled like this.
