Chapter 293


    Cam grimaced, feeling a bit guilty as she admitted, “Sorry, it seems I really have no talent for cooking


    Connor took her hand, lifting his head to gaze into her eyes with a small smile ying at his lips


    “That''s because god knew you wouldn''t need to cook once you married me, so he didn’t waste that talent on you.”


    Cam’s face heated up, and she turned away with a shy smile, her voice as faint as a mosquito''s, “Who says I’m marrying you?"


    Connor pulled Cam into his arms, seating her on hisp, and gently pinched her nose. "You can’t marry anyone else besides me.”


    “That''s hard to say. Maybe my Mr. Right isn''t you,” Cam whispered softly.


    Connor frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure in his voice. He yfully squeezed Cam’s waist. his tone slightly domineering: “Your Mr. Right can


    only be me.


    Looking into his determined eyes, Cam felt a warmth in her heart. She patted his shoulder, smiling. “Alright, my Mr. Right, it’ste, you should head


    home.”


    Connor hugged her tighter, shaking his head, his voice carrying a trace of grievance. "I don’t want to leave...” he murmured softly.


    Cam gently stroked his hair, speaking softly, “You need to get up early for work tomorrow."


    Connor sighed reluctantly, not wanting to part with Cam for even a minute. How quickly time passed, he thought, trying to find an excuse to stay


    longer.


    Before he could think of one, Cam had already gotten off hisp and stood up, pulling him to his feet.


    He stood up, wrapping his arms around her.


    Cam gently struggled,ughing. “Hurry up. I’m sleepy. See you tomorrow.


    Reluctantly, Connor let her go, giving her a final look before slowly walking towards the door.


    Cam followed behind him, her lips pursed.


    ‘I''m really leaving now...” Connor said reluctantly.


    “Mhm,” Cam nodded


    She escorted Connor to the door, her heartbeat quickening slightly.


    As she turned to close the door, she suddenly tiptoed and quickly kissed Connor''s cheek


    Pop—a soft sound, and Cam''s cheeks instantly turned crimson.


    “Good night,” she said quickly, shutting the door.


    Connor stood frozen, feeling the


    gentle touch on his cheek, as if 2


    Cam‘s warmth still lingered thre.


    He ouched the spot she had kissed,


    a Si Wy" smile curling up at thecvorners

    A deep longing surged in his heart.


    As the night deepened and the surrounding lights gradually went out, Connor still stood there, like a statue.


    After what felt like an eternity, the light in that window finally went out. He took a deep breath, then turned and left.


    Connor got back into his car and lit a cigarette.
