Seeing so many people around, Camille bit back her anger and stormed toward the private booth, looking both humiliated and furious.
Nathan followed behind her at an unhurried pace.
The moment they entered the booth-
Camille exploded.
She grabbed a decorative pillow and hurled it straight at Nathan.
“You explain this to me right now!”
“Why did you help Elena Sterling?!”
“Do you still have feelings for that bitch?”
“Nathan Hawthorne, let me remind you-”
“I’m the one who helped you!”
“I’m the one who gave you a chance to rise again!”
“Without me, you’d already be a worthless nobody with absolutely nothing!”
She wiped her tears angrily.
But after yelling for so long-
Nathan still gave no response.
Camille slowly looked up.
The moment she met Nathan’s icy gaze-
She suddenly realized what she had just said.
Panic instantly flooded her face.
She quickly stood up and rushed toward him, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck.
“I didn’t mean that.”
“Honey, I was just angry. I didn’t mean those words.”
Nathan allowed her to cling to him.
“I’ve just been under too much stress lately.”

“You saw it yourself.”
“Richard Hart doesn’t listen to me anymore. He only listens to Elena now.”
“And your grandfather still refuses to support us. He still hasn’t allowed you back onto any major Hawthorne Group projects…”
“I was just frustrated. That’s why I said those things.”
“Please don’t be angry.”
Camille apologized pitifully, terrified Nathan might turn cold toward her.
“I love you.”
“When I almost drowned as a child and you saved me…”
“I fell in love with you from that moment.”
“Please don’t take those words seriously.”
As Nathan listened-
His thick lashes lowered slightly, concealing the emotions in his eyes.
He remained silent for several seconds.
Then he finally reached out, wrapped an arm around Camille’s waist, and pulled her onto his lap.
“Why are you so nervous?”
“I’m not angry.”
His voice was gentle and patient.
Camille immediately broke into tears of relief.
“That’s good…”
“I thought you were upset.”
“How could I be?”
Nathan’s hand slowly rested against her stomach.
“You’re already carrying my child.”
“What reason would I have to stay angry?”
A trace of panic flashed across Camille’s eyes.
At that moment-
She became more certain than ever that Nathan could never discover the truth.

He absolutely could not find out the baby wasn’t his.
Otherwise-
With Nathan’s personality-
He would eventually destroy her completely.
Afraid he might notice something wrong, Camille quickly buried her face against his chest.
“Then why did you help Elena earlier?”
“I was so angry.”
“I wanted to teach her a lesson.”
“There were too many people watching.”
Nathan answered calmly.
“If someone recorded it and the Sterling family found out…”
“It wouldn’t benefit you.”
Camille thought about it carefully.
Then she immediately believed him.
Even though the Sterling family had never truly given her anything substantial-
The title of “Sterling heiress” alone had already brought her countless advantages.
Reality was cruel.
There was an enormous gap between top–tier elite families and ordinary wealthy households.
Even just the name “Sterling” carried far more weight than the Hart family ever could.
Nathan’s explanation completely satisfied Camille.
After dinner-
The two prepared to leave.
But suddenly-
Camille’s phone vibrated.
A text message had arrived.
The moment she looked at it-
Her face turned deathly pale.

“What’s wrong?”
“Who texted you?”
Nathan leaned closer, trying to look.
Camille immediately locked her screen.
“It’s nothing.”
“Honey, I suddenly remembered I have something to deal with.”
“You head home first.”
“I’ll come back later.”
Nathan frowned.
“What’s so urgent?”
“I’ll go with you.”
“You being alone makes me uneasy.”
Normally, Camille loved sticking to Nathan at every opportunity.
But this time-
She rejected him immediately.
“No need!”
“It’s girl stuff. It’d be inconvenient if you came.”
“You go home first. I’m leaving.”
She hurriedly flagged down a taxi and left in a rush.
Her retreating figure looked almost like she was fleeing.
Nathan let out a low mocking laugh.

Only after Nathan disappeared completely from the rearview mirror did Camille finally dare unlock her phone.
The text message was from Evan Hawthorne.
“I’m waiting at the usual place.”
Camille clenched her teeth furiously.
When the taxi stopped outside the bar-

She immediately got out.
But the moment she stepped inside-
A pair of hands suddenly wrapped around her waist.
A man’s alcohol–laced voice sounded beside her ear.
“I thought you wouldn’t come.”
“I’ve been waiting forever.”
Evan’s arms held her waist suggestively, though he was careful not to use too much force.
Camille’s heart instantly jumped into her throat.
The bar was crowded.
If someone familiar saw them—
Without hesitation, she shoved Evan away and slapped him hard across the face.
She didn’t dare raise her voice.
Instead, she gritted out through clenched teeth-
“Evan Hawthorne, were my words before not clear enough?”
“I don’t want to see you anymore!”
“And yet…”
Evan slowly lifted his head after being slapped.
“You still came.”
His hair had been knocked messy.
A few loose strands fell over his forehead.
He casually brushed them aside with one hand while continuing to stare fixedly at Camille.
His gaze carried an almost obsessive madness.
“I sent you that many messages.”
“You only showed up this once.”
“Is Nathan really that important to you?”
Evan sneered coldly.
The jealousy inside him was practically consuming him alive.
