Chapter 337

Chloe didn't actually dislike pink.

If something was adorable or charming, she usually appreciated it too.

So when Iris grinned and proudly displayed her plush toy, Chloe smiled warmly and nodded. "Yes, it's absolutely precious."

Then she handed her carefully wrapped gift to Iris.

Iris thanked her politely before bubbling with excitement. "I also got a homemade birthday cake! It's lavender-colored and gorgeous!"

She turned eagerly to Tristan. "Uncle Tristan, will you help me open it?"

Arlo raised an eyebrow in amusement. "She didn't just bake a cake but brought presents too. Clearly went all out. What's taking you so long, Tristan?"

The fact that Camille woke at dawn to bake for Iris despite her hectic schedule spoke volumes about her affection for the little girl.

Even with Damien and Chloe present, Tristan couldn't suppress a tender smile at the mention of Camille.

Yesterday, Selene had doubted Tristan's feelings for Camille, but witnessing that soft expression now confirmed it - he was completely smitten.

No wonder he'd stopped answering her calls immediately like he had these past months.

Sometimes he wouldn't answer at all.

Selene had assumed he was simply busy.

But honestly, what did Camille have that captivated him so?

Selene pressed her lips together, unable to comprehend Tristan's attraction.

The meaning behind Tristan's unconscious smile was unmistakable, and Arlo immediately pounced on it. "Finally admitting you're into her?" he teased.

Damien, noticing Tristan's expression, mirrored the smile.

The private lounge buzzed with cheerful energy.

Soon, Iris began making her birthday wish.

After she finished, Tristan helped cut the cake.

Chloe received the first slice.

Her face brightened after the first bite. "This is amazing!"

It tasted exactly like Camille's baking.

Come to think of it, she hadn't seen Camille in weeks.

Surely Camille would bake for her birthday too, right?

Arlo wasn't fond of sweets, yet after sampling the cake he conceded, "Remarkably delicious. Your girl's got serious talent, Tristan. Lucky bastard."

Tristan's smile faltered momentarily as he shot Damien a meaningful glance.

Damien was eating the cake too.

But he merely nibbled at it silently.

Initially, Selene had refused to try the cake knowing Camille made it.

After hesitation, she finally took a small bite.

It wasn't bad, admittedly.

Hearing Arlo's praise, a bitter thought struck her - maybe Tristan liked Camille because she fit the perfect homemaker mold.

Noticing how Tristan looked at Damien, realization dawned.

Normally, Selene wouldn't have thought twice about Tristan's glances.

But now she understood their significance.

Damien and Camille were still married.

Did Tristan truly believe having a wife like Camille meant happiness?

He must envy Damien while secretly hoping for their quick divorce so he could pursue Camille properly.

The shocking truth hit Selene - Tristan's feelings ran deeper than she'd imagined.
