Chapter 185

The next day, at 8:15 AM, Camila arrived at Connor’s front door. She adjusted her mood, took a deep breath, and for a moment, she felt incredibly calm.

When the door opened and she saw Connor, her breathing faltered for a few seconds.

He was sitting on the sofa and stood up when he saw her. His eyes fixed on her intently, sensing a faint sadness about her that made him slightly concerned.
