My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1004

Chapter 1004: Lost and Found

To make it all seem more convincing, Camille even glanced over at Ayan as she spoke, as if Ayan might actually behave that way.

The old Simpson followed her gaze and cast a somewhat displeased look at Ayan, his murky eyes narrowing slightly. He spoke in a calm tone, "Alright, I'll give you face, Camille. Now that I'm back, I want to see who still dares to bully you."

The old Simpson's expression and gaze seemed to convey a clear message to Ayan: Don't even think about mistreating Camille, and there won't be any leniency.

Ayan looked somewhat helpless as he glanced at Fletcher and Talia beside him, desperately searching for the right words to explain himself.

By the time he regained his composure, everyone had already headed to the dining room. He immediately followed suit.

With everyone seated, Camille took care of the old Simpson, Talia looked after Timmy, and Fletcher engaged both Timmy and the old Simpson in conversation. That left Ayan sitting alone at the table, ignored by everyone.

In order to show his support for Camille, the old Simpson finished an entire bowl of soup and even had two pieces of meat and some vegetables. He had been able to eat this much for a long time, and his hearty appetite brought joy to the others.

Fletcher couldn't help but glance at Camille and say, "It seems like Cami has a way with him. Even Grandpa listens to you. In the future, you'll have to take care of him for all of us."

Camille smiled and nodded. "Of course, in the future, Grandpa will be like a child, just like Timmy. He'll have to behave, or else I'll have to resort to discipline!"

The old Simpson also smiled and said, "Alright, whatever you say goes. Now that I've finished the soup, let's see who dares to make fun of you."

This was directed at Ayan, and as the person in question, Ayan sat quietly, his eyes filled with grievance as he looked at Camille, as if to say, "You've really put myself in a tough spot now."

Camille covered her mouth and chuckled, and her eyes, filled with amusement, involuntarily glanced at Ayan.

The old Simpson gave a faint snort and had no intention of letting this topic end. He continued, "Be good to Cami, don't be full of yourself, and don't think that there's no one to support Cami when we're not at home."

"Grandpa, you've misunderstood me," Ayan said with a hint of grievance.

But the old Simpson wouldn't be easily convinced. He gave Ayan a sidelong glance and said in a low voice, "Misunderstood? Do you think I'm clueless? Let me warn you, if you mistreat Cami, I won't spare you, and neither will the entire Simpson family."

The stern warning from the old Simpson left Ayan feeling helpless.

He could only turn his gaze towards Camille and said, "Aren't you going to explain to Grandpa? He's put me on his blacklist for good."

Fletcher and Talia couldn't help but laugh, but they knew better than to meddle in the affairs of the young couple. After all, the old Simpson had spoken, and they genuinely wanted to see how Ayan would handle the situation, especially when he couldn't do anything to the old Simpson. It was quite amusing.

Camille lightly pressed her lips together, her eyes filled with amusement as she looked at the old Simpson, who continued to show no favor to Ayan. She spoke softly, "Grandpa, let's let it go this time. Give him a chance to mend his ways. After all, we should be giving chances for a fresh start, right?"

The old Simpson was pleased with Camille's soothing words, and he found them useful. Naturally, he nodded in agreement and looked at Ayan, saying, "This time, I'll spare you because Cami spoke up for you. But this is a one-time thing. I hope you'll behave."

"Of course, Grandpa, you can count on me. I won't let you down. Thank you for giving me a chance."

"No need to thank me; it's Cami's generosity. You should thank Cami."

"Thank you, Cami." Ayan obediently turned to Camille. However, there was a hint of a meaningful smile in his deep eyes.

Camille, feeling a bit unsettled, could only respond, "You're welcome."

The meal was very enjoyable. Everyone chatted happily, and after spending several hours on the road and having such a long conversation, the old Simpson had exhausted his energy. Fletcher helped the old Simpson and, with Kit's assistance, they all prepared to rest.

Before the old Simpson retired to his room, he said to Camille, "Whenever you have time, come over and keep me company. Of course, only if it doesn't interfere with your work. Now that we're all back, you can leave Timmy at the Simpson's mansion. You and Ayan can focus on your work."

The old Simpson hoped that Camille and Ayan could have some quality time together. With Timmy around, they couldn't fully enjoy themselves even when they went out. Leaving Timmy at the Simpson's mansion would allow him to have fun since there was plenty of space and people to keep him entertained.

Camille nodded. "Sure, Grandpa, don't worry. I can come every day as long as you don't find me annoying."

"That's what you said, so you better keep your word."

"Alright."
