Chapter 828 826: Deciding to Confess Feelings (3)
"Camila, I want to ask you a question. Please don't avoid it; just tell me the truth, okay?" the young lady suddenly said seriously, looking at Camila Ruiz with earnest eyes.
Tilting her head, Camila Ruiz chuckled and said, "Seeing you all serious, what is it? Go ahead and ask. If I can answer, I will."
The young lady glanced around. Apart from Little White still under the rock, there was no one else in sight. She felt relieved, looked at Camila Ruiz, and earnestly asked, "What are your feelings towards the young master?"
Camila Ruiz was taken aback. Her feelings towards Jimmy Horne? They were just playmates, friends even; what other feelings could she have?
"Do you love our young master?"
Camila Ruiz was even more shocked.
Love?
The word is easy to say, but true love isn't frivolous and can't be spoken of casually. She still didn't quite understand love. If she really had to describe what love is, it would be like her father's love for her mother, as true love, or like her godfather's love for Julia, as true love, deep love indeed.
"Camila, answer me, do you love our young master?" The young lady's smile had long disappeared, replaced by an accusatory expression.
She knew the young master treated Camila well. If she wanted to stay by the young master's side, with Camila around, the young master would never notice her. But if Camila didn't love the young master, she could convey Camila's feelings to him. Considering the young master's proud nature and status as a favored one of heaven, he certainly wouldn't cling to Camila.
Camila Ruiz snapped back to her senses and laughed, "Sister Florence, don't you think this question is too abrupt? We're only fifteen. Do we even understand what love is? Yes, at our age, there is an interest and curiosity towards the opposite sex, but I don't think that's love. At most, it's just liking. I don't feel that I love your young master, but I like him, enjoy playing around with him, and that's a fact."
Camila Ruiz knew her feelings for Jimmy Horne were different from those for Ivan. But she didn't think that was love. After all, they were too young and couldn't bear the responsibility of love.
If one has to talk about love, at most, it's just a seed of love planted in the soil; she couldn't guarantee whether it would sprout.
"You like the young master? Weren't you two arch-enemies before? How can you like the young master?" The young lady felt a wave of jealousy upon hearing Camila Ruiz frankly admit she liked Jimmy Horne.
Camila glanced at her, noticing the displeasure in her eyes, but she didn't care.
The young lady's crush on Billy was her business, and her honesty was hers. She felt there was no need to explain much to the young lady.
Turning back to the sea, Camila Ruiz smiled faintly, "Sister Florence, I think that's my own business and there's no need to dissect it for you." She might not have martial arts skills, but that didn't mean she was weak.
The young lady's expression turned slightly grim, her gaze towards Camila somewhat sharp.
"You're not worthy of our young master!"
The young lady coldly spat out.
Hearing this, Camila Ruiz stood up, looking down at the young lady, laughing in anger, "Sister Florence, I know what you're thinking. Please don't push it too far. Worthy or not, like or dislike, that's between me and Jimmy Horne, not up to you to decide. If you think you're the only one worthy of Jimmy, you can go ahead and pursue him. I won't play dirty tricks behind your back. Although I, Camila Ruiz, am not like you with those great martial arts skills to help Jimmy in danger, I'm straightforward and open."
The young lady was essentially declaring war on her, jealous of how Jimmy Horne treated her.
Camila Ruiz internally smiled bitterly. Her relationship with Ivan had already earned her warnings from girls who admired him. Now, her relationship with Jimmy Horne faced the young lady's challenge. Wasn't she the most innocent? To Ivan, she was like a sister; her feelings for Billy were only of liking, not love—there's a difference between liking and loving.
The young lady's expression slightly changed, glaring at Camila Ruiz speechless for a while.
There was a friend-foe tension between them, and at this moment, neither spoke but only stared at each other.
After a long time, the young lady finally returned to her senses, embarrassedly apologizing to Camila Ruiz, "Camila, I'm sorry, my attitude wasn't good earlier. The young master has the charm to attract many girls; I hope we can compete fairly."
