Chapter 35 Eden
Eden insisted on saying a few words to Dewitt, so Camila got out of the car first and pushed open the door to the
courtyard.
As soon as Camila looked up, she saw Maxwell standing in the yard.
“You’re still up.”
“I have something to tell you.” Maxwell’s face was gloomy.
“Go ahead.”
“Grandpa is going to have surgery in Oclia next month. I want you to stay with him for about a month.”
Camila looked troubled. She was worried that if she wasn’t in the country, something might happen to her grandmother, and she wouldn’t be able to take care of her:
Maxwell saw Camila through. “If something happens during this time and your grandmother needs help, I will take care of her.”
Camila nodded. “Then I want to go home and stay with my grandmother for a few days before leaving.”
“Okay. When are you planning to go back? I’ll give you a ride.” Maxwell’s attitude was especially indifferent, even colder than when they first met.
Camila wanted to explain about the sunglasses, but seeing

Maxwell’s attitude, she felt that there was no need for explanations anymore.

Camila didn’t say anything, and Maxwell’s face grew even gloomier.
“Don’t you have anything to say to me?”
“Camila!” Eden ran in from outside and almost bumped into Maxwell.
“Maxwell?” Eden was fearless, except for Maxwell’s silence.
“Where have you been in the past few days?”
“I hung out with my friends. Is my mom still angry with me?” Eden asked cautiously.
“Why don’t you ask her by yourself?”
“Forget it. It’s late. She must have slept. Tonight, I want to spend the night with Camila. Maxwell, are you okay with it?”
Only now did Maxwell notice Eden clinging to Camila’s arm, looking even closer to her than to him.
“What’s going on between you?”
“I won’t tell you.” Eden pulled Camila back to the room. Before closing the door, Eden even made a face at Maxwell.
“Camila, you saved me today. I don’t know how to thank you.”
“It’s nothing. Don’t mention it.”
At that moment, Eden’s phone rang.

Camila felt that with Maxwell’s personality, he would make things clear tonight.
But Camila didn’t want to think about it anymore. Since Maxwell deliberately distanced himself, she could only let it
- be.
That night, Eden and Camila chatted until late into the night, mostly about Maxwell’s childhood.
From Eden, Camila learned about a girl named Svetla, who had been fostered by the Starling family since she was a child. After Maxwell’s parents had an accident, she could have gone abroad with her parents, but she chose to stay with Maxwell. Svetla gave Maxwell company and warmth during his most difficult years.
Svetla was like a beam of light in the dark night, illuminating Maxwell’s gloomy life.
Eden yawned. “Camila, I advise you not to fall for Maxwell. His heart belongs only to Svetla. No other woman can replace her in his heart.”
After Eden finished speaking, she turned her head and saw that Camila had fallen asleep.
Early the next morning, Eden was dragged away by Daisy and received a harsh scolding. Daisy threatened to send her abroad to study.
After lunch, Gideon called Camila.
He handed Camila a bank card and asked her to buy some

nice clothes and get a makeover.
Camila felt awkward. Apparently, even Gideon could tell that she was dressed shabbily.
But Camila was used to being frugal, and she had never even used a face mask that cost more than 2 dollars, let alone getting a makeover.
Camila returned the card to Gideon and said she had money. But Gideon insisted on giving the card to Camila, saying that he planned to hold a decent wedding for her and Maxwell. But due to his illness, Maxwell wanted everything to be simple.
So, Gideon felt very sorry for Camila. He said that there wasn’t much money in the card, just enough for her to buy a few clothes.
Little did Camila know that this black card was a symbol of the power of the Starling family. It was an unlimited credit card, with a single maximum limit of 8 million dollars.
So, Camila had no choice but to accept the card, but she only intended to keep it safe for Gideon and never thought about spending the money inside.
As Camila came out of Gideon’s room, Camila saw Eden coming out of Daisy’s room, with a dejected look on her face.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“Shh!” Eden pulled Camila into a room and said mysteriously, “Guess what my mom told me?”
“They want to send you abroad?”

“No, just now my mom told me that Svetla is coming back. She wants me to move in with Svetla before going abroad.”
“Don’t you want to?” Camila couldn’t understand why Eden had such a lifeless expression on her face.
“It’s not that I don’t want to, but Svetla is currently suffering from depression. If I stay with her, it’s like losing my freedom. How can I bear such a heavy responsibility?”
“Depression? Is it serious?” Camila asked worriedly.
“I’m not sure about the specifics, but I heard that Maxwell has found the best expert in this field for her. I don’t know if it will be of any help.”
“Depression is quite troublesome.”
“Aren’t you jealous?” Eden was surprised that Camila didn’t seem worried at all when she heard that Svetla was coming
back.
“Jealous? Jealous of whom?” Camila shrugged. “Don’t you think I’m not in the place to be jealous now?
“And since Maxwell and Svetla can’t let go of each other, we should bless them, shouldn’t we?”
“Camila, you’re generous. I like being with people like you.”
“I’m not as good as you say. I just have self–awareness and don’t ask for trouble.” Camila smiled, “Go shopping with me.”
After working several part–time jobs in a row, Camila saved some money. She planned to buy something for her grandmother and go back home to see her in a few days.

Eden loved shopping the most, so they spent the whole day shopping.
Camila bought a few clothes and a bunch of supplements for her grandmother, but not a single thing for herself.
Eden couldn’t bear to see it and insisted on buying Camila a dress.
To show her gratitude, Camila treated Eden to dinner outside.
Eden was lively and active, while Camila was quiet and introverted. But they got along very well.
They only returned when Daisy called to urge them to come back.
As they entered the courtyard, Raven approached them and stopped Eden. “There you are. Mr. Starling is angry now. Be careful.”
“My grandpa is angry?” Eden sensed the severity of the situation and quickly walked toward Gideon’s room.
Camila hesitated for a moment and followed behind. But she was stopped by Raven.
“You have nothing to do with the Starling family. Don’t cause any trouble.”
Just as Raven finished speaking, Gideon’s voice came from inside the house. “Is Camila outside? Come in quickly.”
