Prosperous Marriage: Married to My Brother-in-law

Chapter 851 847

Florence Ford was also surprised by Ivan Horne's skills. A rich young master, indulging in pleasures all day, turned out to be as formidable as the young master, who had undergone special training. Ivan had only learned from school, yet he could rival the young master, which showed Ivan's brilliance.

The two fought for nearly ten minutes, without a winner. In the end, Florence was the first to withdraw.

This was the Horne Family, Ivan is the eldest young master of the Horne Family, the apple of everyone's eye. If she carelessly injured Ivan, or even without causing injury, if he claimed to be hurt on purpose, she would really be in a lot of trouble.

Not to mention that the Horne Family would be displeased; if the young master blamed her, she might even be driven away by him.

She had exhausted great effort and endured a lot of hardships to climb to the young master's side as his personal bodyguard, she did not want to leave because of Ivan, this sinister demon.

Perhaps this scoundrel deliberately provoked her, forced her to hurt him, and then used the young master to drive her away, so Camila Ruiz could have no rivals and peacefully be with the young master.

Thinking of these things, Florence's heart was filled with jealousy.

Jimmy Horne's love and protection for Camila Ruiz had reached the point where he could use deceitful tricks against others.

Seeing Florence give him a fierce glare and then turn away from the backyard, Ivan Horne habitually touched his nose and laughed quietly: "If you want to get information from me, you might as well try getting to heaven."

Getting to heaven is easier; just sit on the spaceship and ascend. Trying to ask him for things detrimental to Camila is harder than getting to heaven.

If Florence stopped him wanting to ask something, as smart as he is, how could he not know?

He deliberately provoked Florence, interrupting her ambitions.

In the side hall, Jimmy Horne pulled back the heavy curtain that he had slightly opened, a quick flash of coldness in his eyes.

"What's wrong? What did you see?"

Camila Ruiz had just finished peeling an apple, walked over holding it, handed it to him, and asked with a hint of curiosity. She had seen the fleeting coldness in his eyes.

Jimmy Horne smiled gently: "It's nothing, just looking at the scenery in the backyard. This window faces the backyard, occasionally looking out the window feels quite nice."

After saying this, he casually took the apple Camila peeled for him into his mouth, chewing it - just an ordinary apple, one he would usually never eat, but handed over by Camila, it suddenly tasted sweet, fragrant, and crisp.

When there's affection in the heart, even bitter herbs taste sweet.

The difference between affection and indifference is vast.

Hearing him say this, Camila Ruiz walked to the window curiously, gently lifted a small part of the curtain, and indeed saw the scenery in the backyard, she couldn't help but smile and said: "I've spent as much time in the Horne Family as I have at home, yet it's my first time noticing that the window in the side hall faces the backyard."

Jimmy Horne simply smiled, not saying much.

Regarding what he unintentionally saw earlier, he would handle it quietly.

He understood Florence's feelings for him, but it didn't move him at all, because he had given his heart, along with his joys and sorrows, to Camila Ruiz. When he was still abroad, Florence was an extremely competent bodyguard, following his orders without stepping over any boundaries. Upon returning to Syrena and seeing Camila, the jealousy Florence had suppressed in her heart emerged, causing her to do things inappropriate for a bodyguard.

As a promising second generation of the passionate Flame Clan, Florence made a serious mistake.

The clan rules are strict; she is pushing herself to leave, so she shouldn't blame him for being heartless when the time comes.

"Let's go for a walk later. You've been away for eighteen years; the place has changed significantly, from old to new." Camila Ruiz put down the curtain and expressed to Jimmy Horne.

"Okay."

Jimmy Horne said indulgently.

As long as he's with her, he's willing to do anything.

He would try his best to spend as much time as possible to make up for the regret of being separated for eighteen years; he wants to follow in his uncle's footsteps and pamper her to the heavens.

"Then let's go," Camila Ruiz said happily. The person she waited for eight years was now by her side, making her feel as though she were dreaming.

Jimmy Horne smiled, holding an apple with one hand while the other hand grabbed hers, leading her out of the side hall.

The main hall was empty.

The family members were scattered away, no one knew where they went, but the parking lot was crowded with various luxury cars, indicating the family hadn't left, perhaps avoiding Camila Ruiz feeling awkward, they deliberately disappeared.

Jimmy Horne's heart felt warm; having such understanding and considerate family is a blessing from his previous life.

The two walked out of the main house, and Florence Ford immediately approached quietly from outside. Seeing their fingers intertwined, Florence's eyes showed a trace of desolation, she said nothing, just lowered her eyes.

"You don't need to follow; Camila and I are going outside for a walk."

Jimmy Horne walked past Florence with Camila without sparing her a glance.

Camila did feel a bit guilty, wanting to say something, but Billy shot her a warning look, making her purse her lips and stay silent.

Florence was also considered their childhood friend; even though they grew up and their relationships changed, Camila still thought of offering a bit of hospitality by taking Florence around to familiarize herself. But Billy didn't want anyone interfering with their time and Camila didn't want to spoil Billy's heart.

This might be their official romantic relationship.

It's best not to have a third party present during a relationship.

In the car, Jimmy Horne suddenly said in a low voice to Camila Ruiz: "From now on, stay away from Florence Ford; she is no longer your Sister Florence, understand?" This girl isn't stupid; she's just a little too kind. She's unlike the take-charge kind generosity of her mother, perhaps still too young. They are the same age, but he's gone through special training, making his life experiences more abundant. She's always been protected by her parents, brother, and Ivan, never facing big storms, unable to see the darkness of human nature.

Camila Ruiz's expression turned slightly downcast, responding quietly: "I feel like we're being cruel. Florence Ford showed strong affection for you in childhood, always protected you, now deeply loves you, yet we're flaunting our love in front of her, it's a heart-wrenching pain for her."

As she finished speaking, she was pressed forcefully against the car seat by Jimmy Horne, his dark eyes narrowed with danger, his handsome face cold, hiding traces of irritation: "Don't push me towards her! Love is selfish! Even if she loves me to death, that's her problem, the only person I love is you! Now, in the future, forever, as long as I live, the only person I love is you!"

In the world of love, it can be that cruel.
