Chapter 53

Camila followed Connor’s gaze to her own stomach. She had just been sick, and the thought that he might assume she was pregnant seemed absurd to her. She couldn’t help but snicker, “Mr. Connor, you don’t actually think I’m expecting, do you?”

Connor’s eyebrows knitted together tightly, his expression turning a shade paler.

Unable to contain her curiosity, Camila asked, “If I really were pregnant, what would you do?”
