    Drew shivered under Connor’s intense gaze, feeling a chill down his spine, and could say another word. He immediately scooped up a spoonful of


    oatmeal and swallowed it down, trying his best not to show his displeasure at the nd taste.


    Cam couldn''t help but chuckle at their reactions. "Stop eating. I really didn’t cook it well.”


    “No, it''s delicious.” Connor didn’t bother with any side dishes and polished off his bowl of oatmealpletely.


    Cam was surprised to see this scene. Connor, usually so picky, had cleaned up the failed oatmeal so thoroughly, which touched her somewhat.


    ‘I''m done too!” Drew showed his empty bowl.


    Cam smiled. Her mood was instantly lifted, and she asked, “Where are you staying these days? What are your ns?”


    Drew was silent for a moment before responding. “I''ve been staying at a friend’s ce. He got me a sales job that includes amodation but not


    meals, pays six thousand a month.”


    Cam looked at Drew seriously and advised, "Make sure you learn about thepany’s background. Don’t trust people too easily and learn to


    protect yourself.”


    Drew nodded firmly, “I understand, Cam. I''ll start earning and pay you and aunt ire back.”


    He silently vowed to himself to work hard and not let Cam down.


    Connor spoke up. “Give me your phone.”


    Drew paused but obediently handed his phone to Connor.


    Connor quickly typed in his own number and handed it back to Drew. “This is my number. If you need help or if there’s anything you need, feel free to


    contact me,” Connor said earnestly.

    Drew nodded vigorously.


    Cam, observing their interaction, felt a sense of relief. Connor''s inclusive attitude warmed and moved her.


    As Cam began to clear the dishes, Drew quickly took them from her. “You get some rest, Cam. I''ll wash up.


    “Okay,” Cam nodded.


    Drew took the dishes to the kitchen, while Cam headed to the sofa to rest. She hadn''t slept well the night before and yawned


    Suddenly, she felt the sofa dip beside her. Looking up, she found Connor smiling at her, his gaze deep and affectionate.


    “What''s up?” Cam asked, masking her nervousness.


    “Just watching you,” Connor said softly. “I really like this feeling.
