Carl said that coldly and then pulled his hand away. Of course, Carl knew that Camilla hadn't asked that.
Unfortunately, Carl did not know that these actions were not very effective. Camilla's hand did not leave Carl's wrist, and she pulled him close with an almost brutal force.
Camilla had been observing Carl for a long time and knew quite a bit about him.
If Carl really didn't care about Camilla, he wouldn't have reacted like this. He would have acted coldly, as if cold steel were flowing instead of warm blood, or, on the contrary, he would have held her in his arms and whispered sweet words of love.
