Chapter 1199: Chapter 1226: Thank You for Inviting Jiang (2)

"You and Roy should come over tomorrow afternoon." Mina flushed at Chloe’s teasing, and said softly, "I’ll share the address with you soon. I still need to cook, so let’s not talk too much now."

"Go on, go on." Mina laughed heartily.

After hanging up, Chloe let out a sigh of relief and turned to see Camden busy at work.

In the kitchen, the warm yellow light cast a glow on his profile. He stood with a tall and relaxed posture, slightly bowing his head, and she could even see his eyelashes.

Camden was handsome, even just standing there chopping vegetables, his appearance was like a painting.

What did she do to deserve to be his wife?

Chloe hurried over, pretending to take the knife from his hand, "Let me do it."

"It’ll be done soon," Camden didn’t give it to her, only turned his head slightly to ask, "Are you making garlic lettuce? The garlic hasn’t been peeled yet, why don’t you peel some?"

Watching his skilled movements, Chloe could only remind him, "Be careful with your hands."

"I know."

Hearing the concern in her voice, Camden couldn’t help but laugh softly.

As he laughed, Chloe suddenly fell silent.

Camden turned his head to look and found himself meeting her clear, unwavering eyes. They were so close that he could see his own reflection in them, and for a moment, he was taken aback.

"I’ll go peel the garlic."

Chloe snapped out of it, quickly turning away with a blush to find something.

Camden pressed his thin lips together and shifted his gaze, slicing downwards with the knife so that the blade just barely missed his fingertips.

Facing away, Chloe let out a long breath of relief.

She was hopelessly in love with Camden, a deep infatuation etched into her bones. Whenever she saw him, she found it hard to return to her senses. The closer she was to him, the more her gaze would remain fixed on him, unable to pull away when he smiled, as if spellbound.

What to do?

She was determined to leave him eventually, but for now, just thinking about it felt torturous.

Both of them were lost in their own thoughts as time slipped by unnoticed.

Nearing nine o’clock.

Chloe finished washing the dishes and came out of the kitchen, only to be stopped by Camden who was waiting on the sofa.

"What’s up?"

She stood in front of him, feeling awkward like a small housemaid.

Camden slightly furrowed his brow, speaking gently, "Sit down and let’s talk."

Chloe dared not speak loudly in front of him. Feeling somewhat helpless, he also never spoke loudly, afraid to make her nervous. Over time, even his voice took on a reassuring softness.

Though—

Both of them were completely unaware of it.

Chloe sat on the sofa at hand, looking at him in confusion.

Camden smiled and picked up the ring box from the table, opening it with a slight air of apology, "Time was a bit rushed. The ring my mom bought might not fit. That day you only wore it for a moment. Try it on, and if it doesn’t fit, we can adjust the size tomorrow."

The diamond in the ring box glimmered brilliantly.

Chloe pressed her lips together and took a glance.

Seeing her hesitate, Camden simply took out the ring, handed it to her, and said, "Try it on."

"Okay."

Chloe finally responded, taking the ring and slipping it onto her ring finger.

All the arrangements, including the betrothal gifts, were prepared by Chloe, and in fact, she had measured Chloe’s finger circumference with a piece of thread. But since she hadn’t gone in person, the size of the diamond ring bought was a bit loose, easily sliding over the knuckle.

Chloe showed no sign of grievance on her face, but Camden felt a sense of guilt.

Looking at her, he spoke earnestly, "There’s still two days before work starts. I have nothing to do tomorrow, so I can go with you in the morning to adjust the size."
