Chapter 221


    When Connor got home, it was already four in the morning.


    He tiptoed into the bedroom and found Cam still sleeping peacefully.


    Moonlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, casting a gentle glow on her soft features.


    Connor sat by the bed, quietly watching her, a slight smile curling at the corners of his mouth.


    Suddenly,


    Cam''s lips puckered slightly as if she were savoring a dreamy bite of chocte cheesecake.


    Connor couldn''t help but chuckle at her adorable expression.


    At that moment,


    he felt as though the whole world had be serene and beautiful.


    Carefully, Connor reached out and gently brushed a stray lock of hair from her cheek.


    Feeling something on her face in her sleep, Cam reached up to rub her cheek.


    Connor froze, barely daring to breathe.


    Fortunately, after rubbing her face, Cam snuggled deeper into her pillow.


    Connor moved to sit on the dressing chair in order not to wake her up.


    Leaning back in the chair, legs crossed, he quietly watched Cam.


    As the night faded, the first light of dawn began to appear.


    Slowly, Connor closed his eyes.


    Having not slept all night, he, too, gradually drifted off, a content smile on his face.


    Morning light streamed through the gaps in the curtains into the bedroom.


    Cam turned over and continued to sleep.


    In the study,


    Cam’s phone began to vibrate, the rm sounding particrly jarring in the quiet space.


    However, the soundproofing in the bedroom was so effective that it didn''t reach her.


    The phone eventually ran out of battery, and the noise stopped.


    An hourter,


    suddenly, Connor’s phone began to vibrate with an iing call.


    Startled, he sat up straight in the chair, reaching for his phone, trying to silence it.


    He was too slow, and the ringing broke the tranquility of the bedroom.

    Cam woke up.


    She opened her eyes to see Connor frantically searching for his phone, aically panicked look


    on his face.


    Cam was sleepy and disoriented. She couldn’t help butugh.


    A half-secondter, her brain kicked into gear.


    The smile vanished from her face, reced by a look of panic.


    Connor finally managed to silence the phone and immediately looked at Cam.


    Their gazes met.


    Time stood still for a second, two seconds...


    Cam suddenly sat up, flustered, running her fingers through her hair and quickly checking her


    clothes.


    All buttons fastened, she breathed a sigh of relief.


    “I...I...” She looked around, realizing where she was, "You...you, why are you here!"


    “I...” Connor stumbled over his words, his hands nervously unsure where to rest, eventually running


    them through his hair as he cleared his throat.


    “You fell asleep in the studyst night. I was worried you’d catch a cold, so... I carried you back to


    the bedroom.”


    “You could have woken me up!” Cam frowned slightly.


    “Right, I should have thought of that...” Connor said with an awkward smile.


    Cam got out of bed, suddenly remembering he hadn’t answered her question.


    "Why are you in this bedroom?"


    Connor pointed to the nearby chair. “I sat down and ended up falling asleep too.”


    Cam looked at him, skeptical.


    “I’m going to go take a shower in my room,” Connor said, standing up to leave.


    Just then, Cam remembered something urgently, calling out to him, “Wait, where’s my phone?”


    Connor had just opened the bedroom door and turned back to say, “It should be in the study.”


    Cam acknowledged him and headed to the study to retrieve her phone.


    As she was about to step out of the bedroom, Connor suddenly stopped in the doorway.


    She didn’t manage to stop in time and bumped into Connor’s solid back.


    “Why did you suddenly stop?” Cam touched her nose, slightly annoyed.
