Chapter 1195: Chapter 1222: All-Around Household Expert Jiang (Part 3)

Yet people possess warmth.

At the end of October, mornings at Riverside are actually a bit chilly.

Tong Tong held Camden River, only feeling the place where her face touched him was warm and cozy. She instinctively burrowed into his embrace, and as she rubbed against him, she suddenly woke up.

Her movements abruptly stopped, she lifted her head and opened her eyes, just happening to meet Camden River’s gaze.

"..."

Tong Tong was completely stunned.

Her slightly puzzled eyes stared at Camden River’s deep yet calm eyes, and she reflexively withdrew her arm.

Only after pulling back her arm did she realize that one of her legs was still draped over him, and she quickly withdrew it as well.

Tong Tong didn’t dare to look at him, feeling incredibly awkward and at a loss. She stammered, "I... I was muddled in my sleep, sorry... sorry."

"It’s okay."

Camden River sat up.

For some reason, a very subtle ripple stirred in his heart.

The Tong Tong he had just seen was slightly different from the one in her waking state.

She usually seemed weak and timid, but to his surprise, when she was asleep, she looked somewhat adorably cute. Yet now, awake, she appeared to be that cautious girl once again.

Camden River mused briefly, thinking that staying in bed might only make her tense, so he turned to get out of bed and headed to the dressing room.

As she heard him walk away, Tong Tong suddenly let out a breath of relief.

She raised a hand to touch her face, only feeling how incredibly hot it was. She never dared to look directly at Camden River, yet over the past day, the two had repeatedly made eye contact due to various circumstances.

Even if Camden River’s gaze was calm, it would make her heartbeat accelerate.

This feeling of being easily touched and ignited was completely different from what she felt from Daniel Davis.

She actually lied last night.

Facing Camden River, she could even forget herself, how could she still be thinking about Daniel Davis?

Emotions cannot deceive people.

When unable to obtain the person one yearns for, most people tend to settle for the second best, and over time may find the second choice quite nice. But if the first choice turns back for a look, many would impulsively leap like a moth to a flame, even if it means getting hurt.

See, love is truly the cruelest.

Those who are affectionate are also the most heartless.

The deeper and more entwined her love for Camden River is, the more cold and indifferent she becomes to others.

This profound experience may fool others, but it certainly cannot fool oneself.

How can there be a way to satisfy both in this world?

Tong Tong covered her pounding heart with one hand, only feeling that this fervent heart was about to leap out of her throat. She dazedly thought, perhaps it would be better to die at this moment.

To spend a night together in the same bed and yet awaken to his gaze in the morning, seemed like she could have no regrets in this lifetime.

"Are you getting up?"

A clear, crisp voice suddenly came from beside her.

She turned her head and saw Camden River standing at the bedside. He had changed into a light beige sweater, still paired with black trousers, standing with his back to the light, the faint morning glow enfolding his profile, appearing handsome and striking like a painting.

Tong Tong subconsciously sat up, looking at him, unable to utter a word for a long moment.

She thought he was really good-looking.

This was the only thought in her mind, she hadn’t even thought to answer his question.

Camden River looked down at her, seeing she was a bit dazed, only thinking that she hadn’t fully awakened yet. After a moment of thought, he suggested again, "Why don’t you sleep a bit more?"

"No need." Tong Tong finally came to her senses, feeling embarrassed as she recalled her infatuated expression earlier. She turned and got out of bed, saying, "I will go and change my clothes too."
