Prosperous Marriage: Married to My Brother-in-law

Chapter 827 825: Deciding to Share Feelings (2)

After leaving the Ruiz Family frustrated, Joseph Colson harbored some resentment towards them. Knowing that the Colson Family was not yet a match for the Ruiz Family, he temporarily held back. He only instructed people to secretly keep an eye on Charles Colson, waiting for a chance to strike him hard, destroying or taking away anything Charles had or wanted!

Time actually passes quickly, always slipping away without us noticing.

Camila Ruiz and the little beauty had been at the base for a month now.

During this month, the two girls were as close as sisters as long as Jimmy Horne wasn't involved. But if he was, the little beauty would flip like she did in childhood, refusing to acknowledge others and protecting Jimmy, sticking up for him as much as she could.

Jimmy Horne's attitude towards the little beauty was neither warm nor cold, but towards Camila Ruiz, he was always attentive and protective. Although they still occasionally quarreled like when they were kids, they no longer fought physically. After all, Jimmy's mindset had changed, and he couldn't bring himself to hurt Camila anymore.

Kay Kennal and the others were still trying every way to assassinate Jimmy Horne. Each time, Jimmy would protect Camila, and the little beauty, being skilled in martial arts, could barely protect herself. Despite her jealousy of Jimmy's exclusive care for Camila, the little beauty remained loyal to Jimmy. She didn't dare act against Camila unless she and Jimmy had a fight, giving her a chance to bully Camila, but she would always get reprimanded by Jimmy afterwards, who forbade her from interfering between him and Camila, leaving the little beauty furious.

Those old men were set on not letting Jimmy Horne have peace. They deliberately incited the little beauty to bully Camila and taught her to scheme, showing kindness to Camila in front of Jimmy to win his favor, but turning cold and sarcastic towards Camila when they were alone, especially at night back in their room.

The little beauty was completely infatuated with Jimmy and, being young and conceited, felt that Camila wasn't worthy of her family's young master. She believed the young master's status attracted danger, and because Camila couldn't defend herself, Jimmy had to protect her, which she saw as a burden. Misled by those old men, the little beauty fell into their trap and regarded Camila as a stranger every night.

Camila wasn't stupid; she could see that the little beauty's heart was set on Jimmy. Somehow, this made her uncomfortable, as if a thorn was in her heart. The little beauty's attitude at night was distinctly different due to Billy. Sometimes, Camila would excuse herself to let the little beauty and Billy be alone, but Billy would always find her just as she left, glaring at her with frightening eyes.

Like now, she had hidden by the seaside, sitting on a large rock, gazing at the ocean so Billy and the little beauty could have a moment alone in the house. Originally, she couldn't climb the rock, but after being trained by Jimmy to climb trees for afternoon naps, she could now climb the rock by herself.

The weather was gloomy today, with no sunlight, and it seemed likely to rain soon.

It was noon, and though she had just finished lunch, she was a bit hungry because she had only taken a few bites. Seeing the little beauty push all the game and fish they had caught together towards Billy, gently urging him to eat more, made her feel stifled, so she made an excuse that she wasn't hungry and quickly left the house.

The little wolf followed her.

The two wolf dogs were already familiar with her. As soon as she stepped out, one of the wolf dogs would always follow her, as if to protect her. After living here for a month, although the lifestyle wasn't as privileged as at home and required her to do everything herself, she slowly adapted and grew attached to everything here, especially Billy's three pets.

She was no longer afraid of Finn, daring to touch its head and wrap her arms around its snake head to play with it.

Finn, like its owner, was partial, liking Camila but not the little beauty.

The little beauty was always terrified of Finn, having to hide behind Camila every time she went out, afraid Finn might eat her in one bite.

Finn was spirited and ignored the little beauty's fear.

Sometimes, when Finn, Billy, and Camila played happily together, and the little beauty wanted to join, Finn would deliberately stick out its tongue at her, scaring her pale and causing her to hide far away, not daring to intrude.

At the bottom of the rock, the little white wolf faced away from Camila, crouched on the ground, staring into the distance, with its ears perked up, quietly listening to the surroundings.

Those old men knew Billy's heart was inclined towards Camila, so they always liked to target her to test Billy's progress.

Camila hugged her knees and watched the waves relentlessly crashing towards her. The rain was approaching, the sea wind was strong, and the waves were becoming mischievous.

In truth, Camila's eyes held no ocean, for her gaze was unfocused. At this moment, she was completely lost in thought.

"Young master, have a piece of fish."

"Young master, have a chicken leg."

"Young master, here's a bird leg for you..."

The little beauty's gentle and attentive words always echoed in Camila's ears, though they were directed at Jimmy Horne. Her mind was always filled with those scenes, as the little beauty cared for Jimmy like a wife, fervently wishing to feed him, even carefully deboning fish for him.

Jimmy Horne, no matter how sullen or foul his mood, was still treated that way by the little beauty.

She felt she was redundant.

That she didn't belong in their world.

Since they were of the same sect, the little beauty had said that once she came of age, she would join the Blaze Gate and officially become a part of it, with the young master being her sky and earth.

The little beauty also said that her current goal was to become the young master's close aide.

Close aide?

These three words stabbed hard at Camila's heart.

With a low sigh, Camila murmured, "What's wrong with me?"

Suddenly, someone sat down beside her.

Camila was startled.

Turning her head, she saw the little beauty's stunning face and those eyes that were sometimes gentle and tender, sometimes clear and bright, sometimes sharp and cold.

"What's wrong?" The little beauty blinked her beautiful eyes, deliberately oblivious, and asked with concern.

"Nothing, just a bit homesick," Camila Ruiz smiled and gazed at the distant sea. "It's the first time I've been away from home for this long."

The little beauty laughed, "You young ladies have grown up cherished. Me, I was left at school to live independently since I was four or five. We all miss home, but as we grow up, we need to be independent. We can't live under our parents' protection forever."

Camila Ruiz smiled faintly and said nothing, acknowledging the truth in her words.
