Chapter 677

Sheltered behind Arnold, Camille couldn’t help but stifle a smile, despite the ache in her heart. Arnold’s tongue was as sharp as ever a rapier in court that jabbed at the guilty, and in life, a scalpel that cut to the bone.

“What are you babbling about? I’ve had no work done!” Mrs. Evert clutched her face, which was as taut as a Thanksgiving balloon, red with embarrassment and seething with guilt.

Arnold shook his head dismissively. “Getting older isn’t a crime, but giving people a fright that’s just not on.”

Mrs. Evert was inches away from a fit of apoplexy.

“And who might you be to Camille?” Eunice, propping her mother up, couldn’t help but challenge him.

“And what am I to her.”

Arnold tapped his cheek thoughtfully, turning his gaze to Camille with a look of mock seriousness. “Ms. Camille, she’s asking what I am to you.”

Camille looked at him, her heart pounding a wild rhythm.

Without her response, Arnold’s eyes crinkled with a knowing smile. “If you’re not speaking up, then I guess I’m your boyfriend by default.”

“What?” Both Mrs. Evert and daughter’s jaws dropped in disbelief.

How could this elegant and handsome gentleman, radiating such distinguished charm, possibly be the boyfriend of that girl?

A blush blossomed on Camille’s delicate features as she bashfully lowered her gaze, unable to meet his eyes.
