A One Night Stand With My Boss ( Maia Sanchez )
Chapter 281

Camila smiled and patted Erica's thigh. "What time did you get here?"

"Got here at 1 AM last night. I wanted to come straight over, but Connor wouldn't let me. He said you'd finally fallen asleep and didn't want me disturbing you."

When Erica mentioned this, a look of helplessness mixed with understanding appeared on her face.

"He is really thoughtful and caring," Camila chuckled softly. Her eyes were filled with tenderness. She thought about everything Connor had done for her, and it still moved her deeply. The two sat on the sofa, chatting happily. Time quietly passed, and before they knew it, it was noon.

Cole was about to get up and go downstairs to get some food for them, but then he saw Young walking in with two big grocery bags.

"Mrs. Emily prepared lunch for you," Young said with a smile, handing over the bags.

Camila and Erica were surprised and exchanged glances, both showing delighted expressions. They hadn't expected Connor's mother to be so considerate as to specially prepare lunch for them.

"Looks like Connor's mom really likes you, treating you like family already," Erica joked.

"She's wonderful," Camila replied with a smile, sending Emily a thank-you text.

She put away her phone and said to Cole, "Cole, join us for lunch."

"I'll just grab something downstairs," Cole shook his head.

"Come on, join us. Mrs. Emily prepared something for you too," Camila insisted, opening up the grocery bag and placing it in front of him.

Cole initially hesitated, but with Camila's enthusiasm and remembering it was Mrs. Emily's kind gesture, he nodded, "Okay, thank you then."

Camila had reheated the bagels and milk Cole had brought over that morning and placed them on the dining table.

"We've got fresh food, so no need for

these," Cole said, touched yet slightly embarrassed as his simple

offerings contrasted with the feast on the table.

"I want the milk and bagels," Camila insisted with a smile.

Cole chuckled and nodded repeatedly, "If you like them, I'll bring them for you anytime."

"Sure," Camila beamed brightly. After her mother's illness, she had truly come to see Cole as a father figure.

Just after they finished lunch,

Connor pushed the door open and walked in. Camila watched him

surprisedly. Her brow slightly

furrowed. "Why are you here sol.net

early? Couldn't you have rested a bit longer?"

"I had enough sleep," Connor replied, having gotten up and freshened up at home before rushing back, unable to wait.

He gently tousled Camila's hair. His eyes were full of love. "I got enough rest, wanted to see you earlier."

He paused, then asked, "Have you had lunch?"

"Yes, your mom brought us food, and it was delicious." Camila looked up at him. Her face was glowing with happiness.

"I didn't even know she brought you

food. Seems like she doesn't care

about her son anymore now that she has a daughter-in-law," Connor

teased.

"What are you talking about..." Camila lowered her head, murmuring softly.

Erica sighed lightly, "I feel like a third wheel here." She turned to Connor. "I'll leave you two alone. I need to catch up on some sleep."

"Sure. Go get some rest," Camila said, holding her hand.

After Erica left, the room returned to its peaceful state.
