Camille dragged herself into her bedroom, shoulders heavy from the long, stressful day. The meeting with the wholesalers had drained her completely.

The demand for glass containers was turning into a logistical nightmare — overtime for the workers, new machines that weren’t fully ready, and the constant fear that one broken shipment could ruin everything she built.

She kicked off her heels, tossed her bag onto the chair, and collapsed onto the edge of the bed with a long sigh.

  • Darling Husband's Regret    Chapter 42

    Camille stepped into her bedroom, exhausted from the long day. She kicked off her heels, peeled off her dress, and let it fall to the floor. She stripped completely naked, grabbed her phone, and walked into the bathroom. She placed the phone on the stand beside the shower, turned on the water, and stepped under the warm spray.The warm water cascaded down her body, soothing her tense muscles. She closed her eyes, letting the steam fill the room. Just as she reached for the soap, her phone rang. Without bothering to check the caller ID, she answered and put it on speaker, placing it back on the stand.“Hello?”“Camille.” Roderick’s deep voice filled the bathroom. “Roderick?” Camille paused, soap in hand.“Why is there water sound?” He asked, curiosity clear in his tone. “I’m in the bathroom.” She squeezed some soap onto her sponge.“Oh,” He said, the single word carrying a hint of something darker. “Shower?” “Yes.” Camille began running the soapy sponge over her arms, then her nec

    Camille’s hand shot up instinctively, placing her palm flat against Miguel’s face, stopping him just inches from her lips. Her fingers pressed firmly against his cheek, creating a clear barrier between them.Miguel paused. Then a low, amused chuckle rumbled from his chest. He didn’t look offended, if anything, he looked more intrigued. He gently took her hand away from his face, but instead of letting go, he held it as he sat on the edge of her desk, facing her directly. His thumb brushed lightly over her knuckles.“You’re a hard nut to crack.” He said, low and teasing, a playful glint in his eyes.Camille pulled her hand back slowly, her expression guarded. She stared at him for a moment, trying to read him. “What did you mean by what you said?” She asked curiously. “When you said it should have been me and you if Roderick didn’t take me away from you?”Miguel’s smile softened. He leaned back slightly on the desk, studying her face. “You shouldn’t stress yourself thinking about it

    Adrian sat on the edge of the bed, his small hands still holding his mother’s. His voice was quiet and shaky as he finished explaining everything.“That’s what happened, Momma. I’m sorry.”Camille stared at him for a long moment, her heart still racing from the fear that had gripped her earlier. She took a deep breath, trying to keep her voice steady, but the worry and anger leaked through anyway.“Adrian,” She said, her tone firm but laced with exhaustion. “You should never have gone to the shore by yourself in the first place. What if you had drowned and we couldn’t find you? I was worried sick. Do you understand how scared I was? You’re only three years old. The ocean is dangerous. You could have been swept away, and I wouldn’t have been able to do anything to save you.”Adrian’s eyes filled with tears again. He looked down at his lap, his small shoulders slumping. “I’m sorry, Momma. I didn’t mean to make you worry. I just wanted to get Aria’s headband for her because it was her f

    Camille and Taylor ran toward the shore as fast as their legs could carry them. Roderick was already far ahead, his white shirt flapping in the wind as he sprinted down the wooden walkway bridge that stretched out into the ocean. The bridge was a narrow structure with railings on both sides — but at the far end, it dropped off into deeper water. Guests often jumped from there for fun.Camille’s heart was pounding so hard she could hear it in her ears. Her eyes scanned the area desperately.Then she saw Aria.The little girl was standing on the shore with one of the lifeguards, looking scared but safe. Camille’s legs almost gave out.“Adrian.” She muttered, her voice breaking.Roderick didn’t hesitate. He kicked off his slippers and dove straight into the water, two lifeguards following right behind him. The ocean swallowed them instantly.Camille tried to run deeper into the water, her white dress soaking instantly. A staff member grabbed her arm, pulling her back.“No! Let me go!” S

    "Taylor!" Camille yelled her name as she glared at the her with pure, unfiltered contempt.Taylor blinked innocently, tilting her head. “Did I say something wrong? I just wanted the kids to know about each other. They’re siblings, after all.” “Adrian, let’s go.”Camille didn’t waste another second. She reached down and took Adrian’s hand firmly.“But Momma—” Adrian started, looking between his parents with wide, confused eyes.“Now!” Camille said, her tone leaving no room for argument. She pulled her son away from the table, walking briskly toward the path that led back to the villa. Adrian kept glancing over his shoulder, but Camille didn’t slow down.Taylor watched them leave with a satisfied glint in her eyes. The moment they were out of sight, Roderick’s hand shot out and gripped her elbow tightly, yanking her closer.“What the hell was the meaning of that?! How did you know I was here?!” He growled, his voice was low but vibrating with barely contained rage. “Will you stop yell

    Roderick walked just a step behind Camille as they made their way down the wooden path toward the bamboo shade by the ocean. The resort was lively, families scattered across the beach, children laughing as they built sandcastles, couples walking hand in hand along the shoreline, and staff moving quietly between guests. The afternoon sun was warm but not harsh, and the sound of waves provided a constant, soothing rhythm. Camille’s white dress swayed gently with each step. She kept her gaze forward, trying to sight where Adrian was. Roderick’s eyes kept drifting to her. He wanted to say something, anything, but he held back, not wanting to push too hard too soon. Adrian was standing near the shallow edge of the ocean, barefooted, holding a small net in both hands like a determined little fisherman. His shorts were slightly wet, and his feet were covered in wet sand. “What is he doing?” Camille asked softly as they reached the shaded area. “Sit down. I’ll go get him.” Roderi
