Camila smiled and patted Erica's thigh. "What time did you get here?"

"Got here at 1 AM last night. I wanted to come straight over, but Connor wouldn't let me. He said you'd finally fallen asleep and didn't want me disturbing you."

When Erica mentioned this, a look of helplessness mixed with understanding appeared on her face.

"He is really thoughtful and caring," Camila chuckled softly. Her eyes were filled with tenderness. She thought about everything Connor had done for her, and it still moved her deeply. The two sat on the sofa, chatting happily. Time quietly passed, and before they knew it, it was noon.

Cole was about to get up and go downstairs to get some food for them, but then he saw Young walking in with two big grocery bags.

"Mrs. Emily prepared lunch for you," Young said with a smile, handing over the bags.

Camila and Erica were surprised and exchanged glances, both showing delighted expressions. They hadn't expected Connor's mother to be so considerate as to specially prepare lunch for them.

"Looks like Connor's mom really likes you, treating you like family already," Erica joked.

"She's wonderful," Camila replied with a smile, sending Emily a thank-you text.

She put away her phone and said to Cole, "Cole, join us for lunch."

"I'll just grab something downstairs," Cole shook his head.
