Chapter 44
Glenda waited until they heard a door upstairs slam closed, then she hurried over to Camila.
“You don’t look well. Are you ill?”
Camila shook her head. “No.”
“You haven't had dinner yet, have you?” the housekeeper prodded. “Is there something you would like to eat?” Camila didn’t really have an appetite at the moment.
And she wasn’t sure which room Isaac had gone into, but she knew that she didn’t want to spend another second in his presence. She buried her face in the sofa and murmured, “I just want to sleep. Please get me a blanket.”
Glenda sighed and went to fetch a blanket, draping it over Camila’s frail body. “Get some rest. I'll make some food for you. You can heat it up and eat it when you wake up.”
Camila turned her head to Look at Glenda. The housekeeper was the only source of warm and comfort in this cold, dark place. “Thank you, Glenda,” she rasped.
“You're welcome.” Glenda smiled.
Camila closed her eyes as Glenda turned off the main light, leaving only two night Lights by the hallway.
Camila fell into a deep slumber. She was still fast asleep when the clock struck eleven, so Glenda retired for the night as well.
Sometime later, Isaac went downstairs to get a glass of water. He found Camila curled up on the sofa, her blanket slipping halfway down to the floor.
He walked over and watched her for a while. There was no way he was going to pick up the blanket and tuck her in. When he made to leave, however, Camila’s hand suddenly shot out and grabbed his robe.
She pulled with such strength that she managed to undo the tie, revealing his strong, muscular body.
Just like that, Isaac got mad all over again. He all but roared at her, “What are you doing?”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Camila was having a nightmare. In her dream, two massive snakes had wrapped their scaly bodies around her, squeezing the life out of her Just when she thought she would suffocate to death, a flash of Light appeared and she reached out to grab it with all her strength...
She was about to be saved...
When she opened her eyes, she found a tall, disheveled-looking man standing in front of her. Anger was written all over his face. She sobered up in an instant and sat up abruptly. “Wh-what’re you doing?” she stammered, scared and startled
Having just woken up, her voice was particularly hoarse.
And there was a slight tremble as she spoke
Isaac sneered sarcastically. She was the one who had deliberately grabbed his robe, yet she had the audacity to pretend to be startled?
“Nice try, pretending to be asleep and grabbing my robe out of the blue.”
