Chapter 153


    On the balcony, Cam sat in afy chair, her eyes glued to her smartphone screen, a slight


    smile ying at the corners of her mouth as she immersed herself in her little world.


    Curiosity piqued, Erica sauntered over and, seizing the moment when Cam was distracted,


    snatched the phone from Cam’s hands. "What''s got you so happy?" Erica teased.


    "Give it back!" Cam eximed, watching helplessly as her phone slipped from her grasp.


    With her back to Cam, Erica swiftly scrolled through the messages on the phone. When she


    spotted Connor''s name, a sly grin spread across her face. "Oh, it''s because of a certain someone''s


    message, huh?" Erica drawled dramatically.


    "Keep it down!" Cam hissed through clenched teeth.


    Their yful noise caught ire''s attention in the living room, making her chuckle. She shook her


    head in mild exasperation and called out to them, "How are you two still acting like kids? You’re both


    in your twenties, time to settle down a bit."


    "It’s your fault." Cam managed to retrieve her phone, shooting Erica a nce.


    Erica clicked her tongue in surprise, "You actually confessed your feelings?"


    Cam furrowed her brow, holding the phone up to Erica, her tone resolute, "Look carefully, I didn’t."


    "Check this text," Erica pointed at the message that read, [The moon is beautiful tonight.]


    Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    "But the moon is beautiful," Cam replied, confused. How was that a confession?


    Erica took a deep breath, her face a mix of amusement and surprise, "Silly girl, don’t you know what


    those words imply?"


    Cam frowned, shaking her head.


    "Oh my, that phrase means ''I love you''." Erica chuckled mischievously.


    Cam froze, her eyes widening as she stared at Erica, her mind going nk. Her hand


    unconsciously tightened around the cellphone, and she found herself at a loss for words. "I didn’t


    know it had that meaning."


    Cam looked at her phone in despair and murmured, "Can''t take it back now..." Her heart sank,


    "What do I do..."


    Erica smiled gently, trying to calm Cam, "I think Connor might not know its meaning either."


    Cam looked at Erica, her voice trembling slightly, "Really? You’re not just saying that tofort


    me, are you?"


    Erica nodded, "Even you’re confused about it, how would he know?"


    Cam’s face was the picture of distress as she patted her chest, "You scared me half to death. I


    broke out in a cold sweat."


    "I see his photo here, and that’s not the kind of pie we make." Erica frowned.


    Cam blushed slightly and exined softly, "He doesn’t like sweets, so I made some savory ones."


    Hearing this, Erica stared at Cam in shock, "Cam, you’ve changed."


    Meanwhile, ire called from the living room, "You two,e in and have some pie!"


    Both responded in unison, "Okay."


    "These are the pies Erica and Cam made, quite tasty, take some home with youter," ire said


    to Cole and John.


    Cole picked up his cup of tea, smiling gently.


    "I’ll have to try it then." Craig took a slice of the pie, biting into it, his eyes lighting up, "Mmm, really


    delicious!"
