Chapter 125

Camila’s eyes were fixed on the road ahead when the traffic light flickered from green to yellow. She slammed on the brakes immediately. The sudden stop caused Connor to lurch forward, a slight frown forming on his face.

“It’s just a yellow light, not a red one…”

“Sorry! I’m just really nervous,” Camila apologized.

“It’s fine, just relax,” Connor said, grabbing the handle.

“I am relaxed,” Camila inhaled deeply, gripping the steering wheel tightly as she focused on the road ahead once more.

Connor just smiled. He checked the GPS for a restaurant nearby. “We’ve been driving for a while. Let’s grab some food.”

Camila nodded in agreement. Following the directions, she drove them safely to their destination, albeit a bit slowly.

As they entered the parking lot near the restaurant, Camila began searching for an open spot. It was lunchtime, and spaces were mostly filled. After circling around, they finally found one.

However, the spot was quite narrow, and Camila felt unsure. “Sir, this spot is too tight. I might not be able to fit,” she said to Connor, worry evident in her voice.

Connor chuckled, “What’s there to worry about with me here?”

“Alright, I’ll give it a try, but if it doesn’t work, you’re taking over!”

Camila took a deep breath and decided to give it a shot. She carefully maneuvered the car toward the space, trying to keep it steady. But the angle was slightly off, causing her to panic a bit.

“Just adjust the steering wheel a little,” Connor instructed gently.

Camila followed Connor’s guidance and adjusted the steering wheel, but the car still wasn’t perfectly positioned. She tried to adjust again, seeming to always be just a bit off.

“No worries, just try again,” encouraged Connor.

Taking another deep breath, Camila slowly adjusted the car until it was properly parked. “Did I park it right?” she asked softly.

“You did great, see?” Connor’s smile widened.

“Really!” Camila unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the door, and looked around. “Perfectly aligned, nice job!”

She got back into the car, her eyes sparkling as she playfully raised an eyebrow to Connor. “Thanks to your expert guidance, Mr. Connor. Dinner’s on me today as a token of my appreciation.”

Connor saw the playful spark in her eyes, and his own eyes twinkled with amusement. “Are you sure?”

Camila waved her hand confidently and nodded.

However… When Camila looked at the menu in her hands, her heart began to hurt slightly.

“May we recommend the Global Summer Couples‘ Special?” the waiter said with a smile.

Camila glanced at the menu. The price tag read $900! Her mouth twitched slightly. ‘Great recommendation indeed!‘

Connor took the menu, casually flipping through it. He glanced at Camila, his smile teasing, “Or is there something else you’d prefer?”

Camila forced a smile, shaking her head stiffly.

The waiter soon brought their dishes. Though they were expensive, each was exquisitely prepared.

After a moming filled with tension, Camila was famished. When the dessert was served, her eyes locked onto the tempting mini cakes, and she couldn’t help but swallow.

She sneaked a glance at Connor. “Mr. Connor, you don’t like sweets, right?”

Connor smiled gently, pushing the cake toward her.

With a mischievous grin, Camila picked up her spoon. Then I won’t hold back!
