Chapter 977 Loss

Camille had just returned and was frowning as she looked at the peopleoutside. Her expression held a hint of surprise. Faced with Sienna’senthusiasm, she couldn't ignore her, so she whispered, "If I say no, willyou not come in?"

Sienna laughed heartily, "Of course not."

"So why are you asking me?" Camille replied coolly, then walked overto open the door. Her expression remained somewhat indifferent, andthere was a hint of awkwardness between them.

Sienna raised her hand and offered Camille the fruit she was holding. "Iwashed this fruit for you. Would you like to try it?"

Camille glanced at it but didn't take it from Sienna’s hand. Her voicewas low as she said, "I can't eat it."

Sienna visibly deflated, her hand drooping. She sounded somewhatdisheartened as she asked, "Cami, so you still won't forgive me?"Camille met her gaze and asked, "Is eating your fruit a sign offorgiveness?"

She sighed helplessly, unsure of what to do in front of Sienna. Siennahad indeed kept a secret from her along with Ayan, but this secrecyhadn't caused any harm. It just made Camille feel uncomfortableinternally. Apart from that, there didn't seem to be any other losses, didthere?

Though she had been furious initially, because Sienna was her bestfriend, Camille believed that best friends should share everything witheach other, whether good or bad, rather than keeping secrets forothers, even if it was intended for her own good.

But now, seeing Sienna standing at the door with fruits in her hands,not even daring to come in herself, she exuded a sense of caution. Itmade Camille uncomfortable. They shouldn't be like this, and theycouldn't be like this.

Camille pressed her lips together, concealing her emotions deep down.She took a silent deep breath, then said calmly, "I'm feeling unwell. Ihad a fever last night and went to the hospital. The doctor said I can'teat fruits while taking medication. You can bring them in and put themin the fridge. I'll have them after I finish my medicine.”

With that, she didn't linger and turned to walk inside the house.

Sienna stood still for a few seconds, visibly stunned. Watching Camillenot about to close the door, she finally reacted. A smile appeared onher face, and she said, “Alright, I'll keep them for you in the fridge."Sienna was delighted and hurriedly entered the house, closing the doorbehind her.

Camille sat on the living room couch, and the TV was playing the latestTV drama, so it wasn't entirely quiet, erasing the previousawkwardness.

Sienna put the fruits in the fridge herself, not needing any help from themaid. Then, she sat obediently beside Camille in the living room, hergaze fixed on Camille without blinking, making it quite direct andunsettling.

Camille furrowed her brows slightly and asked, "Why are you staring atme like that?"

Sienna whispered, “I'm afraid I won't get to see you again in amoment."

"See me again? Am I going to die in a moment?" Camille replied in anexasperated tone.

Sienna hurriedly explained, "No, that's not what I meant. I just worrythat I won't be able to stay for too long, so I want to look at you a bitlonger."

Camille let out a soft hum and a faint, almost imperceptible smileplayed on her lips. Her voice remained calm, "Do you want to record avideo then? It will save you the trouble of looking at me."

"Well, I actually have another solution."

"What's the solution?"

"You could invite me for dinner and then let me stay overnight. Thatway, you won't have to bother with recording videos."

She said it seriously, as if it were a genuinely good idea.

Sienna shook her head. "But I can only see the real you when I'm byyour side. I like the lively you."

As she spoke, she gradually moved closer to Camille. Closer andcloser until she leaned her head on Camille's shoulder. She spokesoftly, "Cami, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I was wrong, so can you forgiveme? Please, give me a chance, I promise I'll change.”

She said it sincerely and earnestly, with a hint of coquettishness, butCamille could sense her genuineness.

Camille didn't push her away; she let Sienna stay close. A small smileplayed on her lips, hidden from Sienna's view. Her voice remainedsteady as she asked, "Are your promises sincere? Can you really doit?"

"Absolutely, I truly can. Will you believe me? Do you trust me?" Siennasat up straight and instinctively raised her hand to make a swearinggesture. She said, "I swear, if what I say isn't true, I..."

"Stop talking," Camille interrupted her, her expression turning slightlydispleased. She said, "If you keep talking, I might really not want tospeak to you."

"Alright, I won't say anything," Sienna immediately fell silent. She evenmade a zipper gesture with her hand, sealing her lips tightly.

Camille pursed her lips, and her voice softened. She said, "I didn'tmean to make things difficult for you or ask for any promises. I justcouldn't convince myself. From this moment on, the past is behind us.Please don't keep things from me in the future, okay?"

Sienna nodded and said, "I understand. I know. I won't keep anythingfrom you. Whatever happens, I'll be honest with you."

“I will do the same," Camille replied, then flashed a faint smile. The twoof them shared a smile, and all the unpleasantness vanished in thatmoment.

They talked openly and candidly, understanding each other'sperspectives. Sienna also told Camille about everything that happenedat the club and the things she had said to Ayan. Sienna said,"Whatever choice you make, I'll support you. If you feel that hedeceived you and it's making you uncomfortable, I understand.Deception like that makes one feel insecure.”

Camille nodded thoughtfully, her expression slightly solemn, but shedidn't say much more. She simply hummed softly in acknowledgment.In the evening, Sienna stayed for dinner and even personally prepareda fruit salad, struggling a bit with the preparation and nearly cutting herhand.

As she put it, "I want to show you my sincerity and let you know that I'mnot just saying it. I truly know I was wrong. So, this is my apology toyou, and I hope you can finish it."

Camille thanked her.

"You're welcome. It's like we're family!"

“Your attitude wasn't like this when you first arrived," Camille teased,recalling how cautious Sienna had been earlier. But now, it seemed likeshe had completely transformed back into her usual self.

Camille may have pretended to replace it annoying, but deep down, shewas very happy. This was how real friends should be, unafraid ofupsetting each other and able to express their thoughts and feelingshonestly.

The two of them chatted for a long time until they finished dinner.Sienna even tried to stay overnight, saying, "Can I stay with youtonight?"

"Thank you, but it's not necessary. I sleep well on my own," Camilledeclined firmly, without any hesitation. Her expression remainedindifferent as she said, "You should go home now. I don't want to bewoken up by a phone call in the middle of the night, and I don't want tolisten to your affectionate call with Rex."

Sienna exclaimed, "How could you think like that? In my heart, you'rethe most important person. It doesn't matter who calls, it's useless.You're the only one in my heart. I swear to God!"

"Alright, I already know your heart. Now, it's time for you to go home,"Camille said, taking Sienna’s hand and walking her towards the door,showing no intention of keeping her.
