Chapter 46
~Cam’s POV~
I opened my eyes to be greeted by the lovely face of my husband. Is this man truly aware of how
fortunate he is to be loved by ady who will never abandon him, regardless of the circumstances? I
shifted to his side as he shifted to mine, and he instantly began kissing me, but his kiss was different in
some way. It’s intense, involving a plethora of feelings. I swear I caught a glimpse of regret in his eyes.
He looked like a man on the verge of losing everything. I brushed the thought away.
“Good morning!” I said to him. However, when I rubbed my palm across his bare chest, he continued to
stare at me. He’s different. What is wrong?
“Good morning,” he answered.
Being this close to him fills me with an overabundance of ideas. His muscr chest pressing against
my bare chest makes me crave more of him. He managed to caress my hair to the side, exposing my
neck and ear. He started to tenderly kiss my neck, which created butterflies in my tummy. Our mouths
locked each other hard. He caressed my hair once more and began kissing me on the cheek, but
something was wrong. I could feel it. I just don’t know what it is. I am no fool. Chris is different today.
“I love you. I am so fucking in love with you and I can’t hide it anymore. I really love you, wife.” He said,
looking directly into my eyes. I was certain he meant it. Sincest night, he has been telling me he
loves me and I have not acknowledged it. Finally, I had the courage to say something back.
“I’m madly in love with you, too, Chris.” I was looking directly into his eyes when I said it.
He slipped my hair behind my ear after brushing it.
“Close your eyes.” I did as I was told, and a chilly something was ced on my neck. I had the distinct
impression it was a ne.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.
“Open your eyes.” I did as I was told. When I opened my eyes, I was drawn to the jewel around my
neck. It was in the shape of a heart with the letters “CLC” written in the center.
“CLC?” I kicked my brow and looked at him with a questionable expression. He grinned and nodded.
“Yep, Christopher, Liam, and Cam, or vice versa.” I smiled and kissed him, and he continued
caressing my hair.
“Today, I have another surprise for you.” I grinned and kissed him one more time. “I will visit your
workce during lunch. I’m going to take a shower. I have an early meeting this morning.” He didn’t
look pleased when he mentioned the second surprise but hid his sadness by saying he was going to
take a shower.
I’m not sure whether it’s just my imagination, but Chris looks to be different today, or rather his behavior
is a little different. I brushed it aside and began massaging my ne. Finally, we have the
opportunity to work on our rtionship. After Chris had finished taking a shower, I followed suit and
went to work. Luke was already prepping for theunch when I arrived. I came a littlete since I
needed to get dressed at my house. The clothes at Chris’ ce were only sweatpants. I arrived at the
office and began to approve some of Luke’s suggestions for theunch. Without him, I’m not sure what
I would have done. I am confident that thisunch will be the most spectacr of them all. Today, time
flew by. It was already 1:30 p.m. when I checked the clock. Then I heard an outside ruckus. I stayed
put because I had a few things to aplish. I heard a knock at my office door.
“Pleasee in!” I yelled, and Chris and his friend Mark walked in. I smiled at them, but Chris did not
reciprocate. Mark was the only one who smiled.
“Gentlemen, please.” They all sat down once I showed them the seats. “Is there anything I can do to
help you? Are you in attendance to discuss the current project?” That was the only thing that sprang to
mind. That is, for both of them to appear.
“Hello, Cam. It’s a pleasure to see you again. As always, exquisite,” Mark remarked.
“Are you trying to flirt with me, Mr. Cooper?” I made a joke, and both of usughed. My husband hadn’t
said anything to me, and I was startled. “Mr. Grayston, you look somewhat aloof today. Is everything
okay?” He did not respond; instead, he tossed a file my way.
“Sign this,” he said in a somewhat calm tone, but cold.
When I took the document from him, the first thing I noticed was the phrase ‘Divorce agreement.’ My
world came crashing right before me and came to a halt. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. As I
struggled to take a breath, I clutched my chest.
How is this possible?
I took my gaze at my husband, Chris, and we exchanged nces. However, he avoided making eye
contact with me. Is this the surprise he alluded to? Following his deration of love for me,

Cam was shocked, the color of her face was slowly creeping away. With her hands on the divorce
papers, she had been served. She red at him, daring him to look at her, but the man didn’t. She
sank to the ground as though a storm swept in after a few days of sunny weather. She reopened the
file, stunned. Last night’s images of her and Chris poured in. Her hands were buried in the jewel Chris
had given her this morning. Nothing seemed to make sense.
What was that? What happenedst night and this morning is still a mystery to me. Why did he have to
do that? Is this what he calls love? Cam thought to herself.
She returned her gaze to the man in front of her, who was now looking at her with an expressionless
face and returned her gaze to the divorce papers. Hiding the desire to cry, however, she failed
miserably. Tears ran from her eyes to her cheeks and down to her neck. She regained herposure
in the end. She rose from the group and cast a nce toward Chris. She inhaled deeply and strode
behind her desk like a victor. She took up a pen and began signing the divorce papers. Chris handed
her a copy of the divorce papers without even looking at her, and she collected them. She suddenly
realized she had signed without reading. She promptly opened the duplicate and discovered that Liam
remained with her. She leaned back in her chair and inhaled deeply. Then she screamed,
“Get out!”
