Chapter 26


    “Ugh, I always ask you to move in, but you never agree,” Erica sighed helplessly


    The events ofst night had been terrifying, leaving Cam anxious all night. She only managed to fall asleep as the dawn barely


    broke. Cedarhill Estate


    David nced at the clock, looking toward the door now and then. When Cam didn’t show up, he decided to go wake Connor


    himself. In the pitch-dark bedroom, the man on the bed slept soundly as David pressed the automatic curtain control.


    When sunlight invaded the room, Connor furrowed his brows and shut his eyes tightly, evidently imitated, pulling the covers over


    his face with clear dissatisfaction and annoyance.


    Mr. Connor, time to get up,” David called softly.


    He didn’t respond.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    “Breakfast is ready, David said as he pulled away his nket.


    “I’m not having breakfast,” the man replied gruffly. His tone was heavy with resentment, and his expression was as dark as a


    storm cloud.


    David, resigned, felt the resurgence of Connor’s notonous morning mood that had been absent for a few days


    “It’s time for breakfast, Mr. Connor David continued softly, persisting for a full ten minutes.


    Annoyed, Connor finally threw off his covers, sitting up in bed with a scowl, roughly running his hands through his tousled hair.


    The moment Connor closed the front door behind him, he seemed like a different person. The previous imitability vanished,


    reced by a clear andposed demeanor.


    Inside, David looked at the untouched gourmet breakfast on the table and deeply sighed


    “Mr. Connor, Tucker was rushed to the hospitalst night. He’s been saved, but he’s in a bad shape. His penis might not work


    again. We’ve settled with his family for apensation of fifty million. They’ve agreed to leave the country immediately after


    discharge and there will be no further issues,” the driver reported


    “When is he being discharged?”


    “He’ll need to stay in the hospital for about two weeks”


    “idents happen all the time, right? Connor said lightly, a faint smirk ying on his lips


    The driver nodded, “Yes, getting caught in a robbery is quitemon”


    Connor thought for a moment, then said. “The area where Cam is staying has significant safety risks. Have someone clean up


    my apartment at Belleview Heights.”


    “Right away, sir,” the driver responded.


    Connor opened his contacts on his phone, chuckled softly when he saw the name [Caml and dialed.


    Cam looked at her phone, recognizing the number and answered, “Hello?”


    Connor frowned slightly. “It’s me.”


    Hearing the familiar voice, Cam bolted upright, startling Erica awake beside her. “Mr. Connor, good moming,” Cam blurted out


    nervously


    Erica leaned in closer to listen.


    “I have a small house in Belleview Heights. You can move in there,” Connor said


    “Wow, he’s spoiling you, huh!” Enca, still groggy, blurted out without thinking.


    Cam, shocked by Enca’s boldment gasped and stared wide-eyed at her. Enca quickly covered her mouth, looking


    apologetic. Connor’s lips twitched slightly, and his brow furrowed. “Don’t overthink it. It’s just that you’re my assistant, and your


    current ce isn’t safe. It’s simply a perk I provide as an employer”


    At that moment, Cam truly wanted to punch Erica. “Thank you Mr. Connor, but it’s okay. I have a ce to stay”


    Connor’s lips curved into a faint smile “Cam, don’t worry too much. My apartment is empty, and it would be convenient for work


    if you stayed there.”
