Chapter 246


    “What!” Erica gasped. Her voice was tinged with excitement. “What did I miss?”


    “He suddenly said yesterday that he wanted to pursue me, which was quite unexpected,” Cam


    exined.


    “Are you sure he’s sincere about you?” Erica asked, with concerncing her tone.


    “I’m not sure,” Cam admitted honestly.


    She paused for a half-second before continuing, “He mentioned he’s liked me for a while now.


    Remember when John pretended to be my boyfriend? I don’t know how to exin that to him.


    Should I tell him I was just jealous and lied?”


    Erica fell silent for a moment, then suggested, “Don’t tell him.Keep him on his toes. If you want a


    lasting rtionship with him, don’t y your cards about your feelings too soon. Some people stop


    appreciating what they have once they get it.”


    After chatting for a while longer, Cam hung up the phone.


    Connor was distracted all day, constantly thinking about Cam.


    As evening approached and work ended, he shut down hisputer, grabbed his suit jacket, and


    walked out of the office. Approaching Cam, he murmured, “Work’s over. Let me drive you home.”


    Today, Connor had not asked his driver toe.


    Thus, the two found themselves alone together in the confined space of the car once more.


    Noticing Cam seemed a bit tense, Connor yed some soft music.


    After a moment, he said, “Have I been assigning you too much work recently? You look tired.”


    “Yes, I’m tired. Partly because of work, and partly because of…” Cam trailed off.


    “What’s the other part?”


    “Family issues.”


    “Did you get it sorted?” Connor knew about the troubles at her home, but since she hadn’t brought


    them up, he pretended to be unaware.


    Cam hummed in acknowledgment.


    She thought about the lunchbox from earlier and hesitated before looking up at Connor and asking,


    “Why did you change the lunchbox?”


    Connor nced at her then back at the road, saying, “I don’t like others touching my things.”


    “What do you mean?” Cam asked, puzzled.


    Connor’s brow furrowed slightly, and his voice deepened as he said, “You gave the lunchbox to


    Haylie.”


    “I didn’t give her yours, though,” Cam quickly rified.


    “Yours... is also mine,” Connor stated firmly.


    Cam was taken aback.


    The atmosphere in the car shifted, bing subtly charged. Cam didn’t know what to say and


    just silently watched out the window.


    Connor, too, said nothing more, focusing on driving.


    As they neared her home, Connor finally spoke, “I’m serious about you.”


    Cam nodded.


    The car stopped at the entrance of Cedarhill Estate. “Thank you for the ride home,” she said as she


    unbuckled her seatbelt and prepared to get out.


    “Cam,” Connor suddenly called out.

    Turning her head, she looked at him. “What is it?”


    Connor gazed deeply at her. “Nothing, I just... wanted to call you.”


    Cam smiled, “Then I’ll head up.”


    Connor nodded.


    Back at home, Cam sat on the sofa, lost in thought for a long time. Thinking about all the


    interactions with Connor today, she realized she still really liked him. It made her uneasy, yet also


    somewhat hopeful.


    Buzz, buzz, buzz —


    Cam picked up her phone and saw “Drew” on the disy. She immediately answered the call.
