Chapter 222


    Connor didn’t respond, but politely greeted the person at the door, “Morning, David.”


    Upon hearing Connor’s voice, Cam quickly turned her head.


    David stood at the doorway, gaping at them with his mouth slightly open.


    “Morning...” He scanned them and then found something unusual. Connor’s clothes were slightly


    open, and there was this smallest smile on his lips. He clearly had enjoyed the juicy scene.


    Cam’s heart tightened. She knew David must be brewing some thoughts seeing her and Connor


    together in the bedroom. She nervously clutched the hem of her shirt.


    Connor remainedposed as he headed to his room. “I’m off to take a shower.”


    “Make sure to join us for breakfast after you freshen up,” David said with a teasing smile.


    “I was workingte in the studyst night and fell asleep,” Cam exined with an embarrassed


    laugh.


    David suppressed a chuckle and nodded.


    Blushing, Cam hurried to the study, rifling through the desk before finding her phone. It was dead,


    and she couldn’t find a charger on Connor’s desk.


    Sighing, she decided to ask Connor to borrow his. She knocked on Connor’s bedroom door. “Mr.


    Connor, my phone’s dead. Could I borrow your charger, please?”


    After a few seconds, the door opened. Connor stood there. His shirt was unbuttoned, revealing his


    chiseled chest and abs. He held a charger in his hand, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.


    “Looking for this?” he asked, holding up the charger.


    Cam swallowed hard and nodded.


    Connor handed her the charger. “Use this. I’m going to shower.”


    He turned, paused, and looked back at Cam. “I remember there’s some workout clothes of yours


    here. Freshen up. If you go home to change, you’ll bete for work.”


    Cam nodded.


    It was already past eight, so going home would indeed dy her. Reluctantly, she returned to the


    bedroom, fetched her workout gear and undergarments from the wardrobe.


    After showering, Cam joined Connor at the dining table, where he sat clean and refreshed.


    David smiled and waved, “Cam, I’ve made your favorite pancakes.”


    Her eyes lit up at the sight of the pancakes on the table. “Thanks, David.”


    She turned to Connor. “Mr. Connor, let me make you some coffee.”


    “No need for that. Come sit down for breakfast,” Connor said, pulling out a chair beside him.


    Cam hesitated. This wasn’t her usual seat.


    She nodded, pulled out the chair in front of her, and sat down.


    Connor, noticing she hadn’t taken the seat beside him, felt a twinge of disappointment. “Eat up,” he


    said. His voice was slightly subdued.


    They ate in silence until Connor’s phone rang.


    He set down his cutlery and checked the caller ID — a number he didn’t recognize. He frowned and


    declined the call.


    Secondster, the phone rang again, still the unknown number.

    Connor looked at the screen, declined once more, but it rang yet again.


    Cam noticed Connor’s distraction. “Mr. Connor, what’s wrong?”


    Connor shook his head. “Just a random number, keeps calling.”


    He declined again, but the phone rang once more. This time, he answered.


    “Hello?” His tone was cold.


    Cam saw his expression change dramatically as he listened to the voice on the other end.
