Chapter 126

Camila finished off two mini cakes and said to Connor, “I’m going to the restroom.”

Connor nodded in response.

With her phone in hand, Camila walked over to the cashier. “Hi, could I get the check, please?”

The cashier paused, seemingly surprised that a woman was paying, but then smiled and printed out the receipt.

She clenched her teeth secretly, gave the cashier a polite yet awkward smile, and opened the payment app on her phone. With a soft “béep,” the payment went through. Camila felt as though her heart was being sliced open again.

She took a deep breath, trying to appear nonchalant. “Could you tell me where the restroom is?”

“Madam, turn left up ahead.”
