Chapter 117
Camila smiled gently, nodding in agreement.
“But that’s a bit too far–fetched. At least most fortune–tellers make some sense,” Erica joked with a laugh. “The funniest part is that your true love supposedly appeared at 17, when you were still in your senior year of high school, right? Let me think, who could that possibly be?”
She pondered for a half–minute, then shook her head.m“I can’t think of anyone.”
“I never really believed in fortune–telling to begin with. I just wanted to give the old man some compensation,” Camila said with a smile.
They strolled leisurely to the fabric store..
“Come help me pick out some fabrics,” Camila suggested:
What do you need the fabric for?” Erica asked, puzzled.
“I want to make a shawl for Mr. Connor’s mother,” Camila explained with a smile.
When they entered the fabric store, Erica was dazzled by the variety of fabrics. Camila headed straight for the cashmere section, expertly picking out her choices.
“A camel–colored shawl would suit Mr. Connor’s mother perfectly,” Camila explained. “She has such a refined air about her, and this color is both classy and versatile.”
Erica nodded in agreement, always impressed by Camila’s unique taste. “It’s a pity. You could have gone to fashion school, but you got sick right during your finals. If that hadn’t happened, you might have become a brilliant–fashion designer by now,” Erica said with a hint of regret.
Camila laughed, self–deprecatingly. “It’s just my luck.”
They laughed together.
After returning home, Camila took a shower and changed into her pajamas. She took out her precious sewing machine from the box, gently caressing it, her eyes gleaming with détermination.
She had saved up to buy this sewing machine while working part–time in college. Though it wasn’t the most professional model, it was sufficient for her needs.
She spread out the high–quality cashmere fabric she bought from the fabric store, carefully measuring and calculating. She held a ruler In her hands, making light marks on the fabric with chalk.
The gift she was making for Connor’s mother had to be perfect. After much thought, she decided to hand–make a shawl. She believed that such a gift would not only show sincerity but also match Erica’s elegant demeanor
ing a deep breath, Camila began meticulously cutting the fabric.
