"Mmm, mmm, mmm." Windsor Myres realized she misspoke earlier and didn’t argue with him anymore. She stood up and said, "I’ll listen to you."
Camden River helped her straighten her dress.
Windsor Myres looked at him, pursed her lips, and suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck.
Camden River was taken aback, then he heard her softly plead, "Don’t push me away."
He sighed inwardly and placed a hand on her lower back.
But—
Windsor Myres suddenly thought of Ali Harris.
He said he loved her,
Just like Camden River seemed to before,
She used to be quite happy, thinking he liked her, treated her well, different from other men.
Now, her thoughts had changed.
This way Camden River acted, was it because he didn’t really love her passionately?
She wanted him to possess her recklessly, not like this,
Windsor Myres, lost in her thoughts, pushed him against the wall, Camden River’s breathing became erratic as he sensed her surprise and quickly pushed her away.
Windsor Myres was stunned, "What’s wrong?"
Camden River glanced at her, then promptly stepped into the bathroom.
Really...
He was at a loss for words to describe his emotions at that moment. He turned on the faucet and splashed his face with water, then looked at Windsor Myres.
Windsor Myres gave him a little smile.
Camden River said nothing.
He stepped out of the bathroom, rummaged through the wardrobe, and changed into a shirt.
Windsor Myres stood a couple of paces away, observing him, pursed her lips, with no discernible emotion in her eyes.
Camden River raised his hand to button the shirt, pursed his lips and asked her, "You did it on purpose?"
Even though it was a question, his tone was assertive.
Windsor Myres looked at him, pursed her lips, stepped forward and hugged his waist, coyly saying, "I was just asserting ownership."
Camden River took a deep breath, "Let’s head downstairs and eat first."
"Okay." Windsor Myres nodded and smiled.
The two of them went downstairs.
During the process, Camden River changed shirts, it was naturally a bit odd.
—
At the dining room.
Everyone was eating together.
The River Family had a rule of not speaking during meals, so there was usually little conversation at the table.
Naturally, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
Chloe Smith proactively broke the silence and smiled as she said, "Rosy made this sweet and sour fish; the process was quite complicated, but it tastes good. Camden, give Little Windsor a few extra pieces."
"Okay." Camden River placed a piece of fish onto Windsor Myres’ plate with a casual smile, "Try it."
Windsor Myres glanced at him, "I’m on a diet recently, not eating meat."
Camden River: "..."
His expression didn’t change, and he picked up some garlic lettuce for her, "Then eat more vegetables."
Rosy Harris watched them and chuckled, with a slightly apologetic look, "It seems like I added too much salt to the lettuce stir-fry; my parents are used to strong flavors, so I accidentally put more. But Auntie’s egg drop soup tastes great, mild, and pairs well."
