A Love Trap

Belinda wanted to ask him a question. She was itching to know whether Camelia had complained about them.

After all, they were all largely responsible for losing her.

At the time, the Gu Group hadn't achieved much. Martin and Belinda always remained busy. Their negligence toward their children was inevitable.

Jeremy was the one who took care of Camelia. But he too was a playful child who couldn't really be held responsible for losing her.

Belinda was worried sick after finding out about Camelia's disappearance.

"My little Camelia got lost! What if she meets some evil guy?" she said, unable to control herself.

The entire family was worried for her, trying their best to find her.

Belinda's words tensed Jeremy, but he decided to comfort her mother. "Mother, she'd be fine. I told her everything about our family, and she took it fairly well. I don't have a lot of work today. I will invite her home for dinner, okay?"

"Okay. Jeremy, you must bring Camelia back anyhow. I will ask Maria to prepare dinner. What's her favorite food? I'll have it especially done for her,"

she said in an excited tone. She seemed refreshed after listening to Jeremy's words.

What did Camelia like to eat? That was a difficult question. He didn't know much about her food preferences.

Jeremy pouted, wondering what to say.

After a while, Belinda spoke again, "Hello? Jeremy, are you there? What's Camelia's favorite food? I need to tell Maria to get to it.

You know what? I should do it myself! I'll go get all the ingredients and make her a delicious meal. Tell me, Jeremy."
