Chapter: 676
After thinking hard about it, Aldrin answered, "I want to eat dumplings."
Camila smiled. "Okay, then. I'll buy some for you."
She got her phone and browsed online for a highly-rated dumpling shop.
After a while, she managed to find one far away from the hospital and had the dumplings delivered.
As soon as the dumplings arrived, Aldrin took a bite. In an instant, his face Looked Like it was melting. "Hmm... It's so delicious," he praised.
Camila watched as he ate. Despite his relaxed expression, she knew that he was just pretending. So, she said, "If you want to cry, just cry."
Aldrin didn't say anything nor did he cry. He just kept stuffing his mouth with dumplings.
After a while, Camila took out the agreement she had drafted earlier and said, "Take a good look at it. If there's no problem, go ahead and sign it."
When Aldrin saw the document, his mouth fell agape. He took a closer look at the agreement and said, "This..."
"Dad originally wanted to hand over the company to you. However, the reason why he didn‘t was because at the time, you lacked experience. He was afraid that you wouldn't manage it well. But when I went to the company earlier, I learned that you're more than capable to do it. So, from now on, I'll let you manage it. Joe is still very young, and I have no time to take care of the company's affair. Besides, I'm not interested in it at all. My dream is to be a good doctor."
Her Last sentences implied to Aldrin that she wouldn't interfere in the business once she had given it to him.
When he heard this, Aldrin narrowed his eyes in suspicion. Although he had wanted to take over the company, hearing this news now didn't make him happy.
What was she trying to do by giving him the company at this time? Did she know that Isaac killed his mother? Was she just giving him the company to comfort him?
“Camila, I'm still young. Dad gave it to you, so it would be best if you remain in charge of it," Aldrin said as he continued eating his dumplings.
Camila was a bit confused. As far as she knew, getting the company was all that Aldrin wanted. Why was he refusing her now?
“Aldrin, there might be some bad blood between your mother and I, but she's already gone. Whatever quarrels we've had no longer matter. Although we don't have the same mother, we share the same father. We're connected by blood. That makes me your family.”
"I always considered you as my family," Aldrin replied.
Camila patted him on the shoulder and nudged the document closer to him. "Since you take me as your family, then go ahead and sign it.”
“Okay." Aldrin picked up the transfer agreement. But when he was about to sign it, he realized that there was no pen nearby. "I'll ask the nurse for one," Camila said as she stood up
Once she got ahold of a pen, she lent it to Aldrin. With one quick stroke, he affixed his signature on the document.
“Camila, if both your man and I are in danger at the same time, and you can only save one of us, who will you save?" Aldrin asked out of the blue. His expression looked completely serious.
The question baffled Camila. Especially when he used the words “your man". Hearing it made her blush a bit.
Camila smirked at him and answered, “Both of you won't be in danger at the same time. Besides, if you both are in danger, I don't think I'll be able to save either one of you."
Unsatisfied with this answer, Aldrin persisted and kept pushing. "It's just a hypothetical scenario. If Isaac and I are in danger at the same time and you can only save one, who will you save?"
This was truly a difficult question for Camila. On one hand, Isaac was her lover and the father of his child. There was no way she could give him up so easily. After all, she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.
