Chapter 215


    Cam closed the door behind her, leaning against it while catching her breath.


    Her recent encounter with Connor had caught her off guard, leaving a delicate sensation rippling


    through her heart.


    A blush crept up her ears as she could hear the thumping of her heart echoing around her.


    Connor set down the ice pack.


    He reached out and gently held the fingers she had touched earlier as if feeling her warmth and


    essence.


    That night, the two tossed and turned, struggling to find sleep.


    The next morning,


    Cam’s rm clock went off.


    She turned it off, rolled over, and continued lying in bed, staring nkly at the ceiling.


    She blinked slowly before forcing herself to get up.


    In the bathroom, all her toiletries were still in ce. She looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes


    slightly weary.


    After freshening up, she jogged back to her ce, changed into her work clothes, and then returned


    to Cedarhill Estate.


    At the door, she took a deep breath topose herself before entering. There, s


    he saw David arranging breakfast on the dining table.


    He smiled and nodded in greeting.


    "Good morning, Cam." David’s voice slightly eased her mood.


    "Good morning, David. I’m going to make Mr. Connor some coffee," Cam replied with a smile.


    David nodded.


    Cam took the freshly made coffee to the dining table.


    At that moment, Connor came out of the bedroom.


    "Good morning, Mr. Connor," Cam said with a polite smile.


    Connor responded.


    Their eyes met, creating a slightly awkward atmosphere.


    David looked up, his eyebrows knitting together in concern. "Mr. Connor, your face...were you in a


    fight?"


    Connor sat down and shook his head. "No, just boxing."


    "Goodness, how did you manage to hurt yourself while boxing?" David expressed his concern. "I


    should call a doctor."


    "It’s alright. I’ve already applied some ointment," Connor said, ncing at Cam.


    Following his gaze, David looked at Cam and uttered a meaningful "Oh."


    Connor’s eyes still lingered on Cam as he softly said, "Come have breakfast."

    Cam shook her head slightly. "Mr. Connor, I’ve already eaten."


    Connor raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "You left here at 7:40 this morning to change clothes, and


    now it’s just 8:10. How did you manage to find time for breakfast?"


    David paused with his utensils for a half-second, his ears perking up before he continued his meal.


    Cam was momentarily stunned.


    She forced a stiff smile and said nonchntly, "Yes, I grabbed something from a convenience


    store."


    "You must be tired afterst night. Convenience store food isn’t very nutritious. Have something


    more substantial to build your strength," Connor continued, his expression turning sly as his lips


    curved slightly.


    Hearing this, David immediately shifted his gaze to Cam, his pupils narrowing slightly.


    Cam’s cheeks flushed, and she red at Connor.


    Internally, she cursed, "What are you thinking? Such a random remark could lead David to all sorts


    of assumptions!"


    "Last night, Mr. Connor was boxingte, and n and I helped him get back home," she quickly


    turned to David to rify, emphasizing the name ''n.''


    "Is that so?" David looked slightly disappointed but smiled. "Cam, are you sure you won’t have


    some more food?"


    Cam shook her head slightly.


    Connor sipped his coffee, dropping the mischievous smile to adopt a more serious demeanor.
