My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1007

Chapter 1007: Fire Pit

"This is difficult to choose."

"Well, who do you think is right, her or your parents?" Horace asked in a different way. He continued, "Choose the side you believe is right, and together, you'll face the one that's not."

Horace didn't really make Grace voice her answer because he knew she already had it in her heart.

Because Grace had left home without any communication, and Camille couldn't be reached, the Armstrong family was in complete chaos.

Mr. and Mrs. Wesley decided to pay a visit.

It was already eleven o'clock at night when they arrived.

Mr. Wesley and Mrs. Wesley sat in the living room, their eyes fixed on Brody and Page. Mr. Wesley inquired, "Mr. Armstrong, you're changing the plan we agreed upon. You promised we'd have dinner tonight. Why the sudden change? How can we have a good cooperation if you go back on your word?"

Brody maintained a serious expression as he looked at Mr. Wesley. "There were some unexpected developments, so we had to cancel dinner tonight. But rest assured, we won't break our promise. However, we need a bit more time."

Mrs. Wesley asked, "How much more time do you need?"

"I can't determine the exact time at the moment. Don't you need an obedient and sensible daughter-in-law? We need to handle it properly. As you've seen, our younger daughter can be quite rebellious and stubborn. We've already arranged for our elder daughter to come and talk to her, to help change her mindset."

Brody responded curtly, his expression remaining cold.

The room was filled with tension and a sense of scrutiny. Mr. Wesley narrowed his eyes as he observed Brody. With a stoic face, he asked, "Mr. Armstrong, are you saying that you haven't convinced your daughter yet?"

Brody replied, "We'll need to have a good talk. Mr. Wesley, you surely don't want a disobedient daughter-in-law, do you? Given your son's complicated situation, we need to handle this carefully."

"Mr. Armstrong, you have to give me a deadline."

"I'd like to resolve this as soon as possible. Both of you can explore Hancein the meantime."

"The Wesley family has a busy schedule. We'd like to wrap this up and head back soon. Mr. Armstrong, you understand the concerns of having your own company in someone else's hands. Are you really at ease with that?"

Mrs. Wesley's words were laced with a subtle taunt, and Brody, who cared a lot about his reputation, couldn't hide his displeasure. He felt a wave of frustration building up inside him, but he kept his composure, though his face showed his discontent clearly.

Brody remained silent, not wanting to escalate the situation further.

However, Mrs. Wesley didn't stop there. She continued, "Mr. Armstrong and Mrs. Armstrong, since we're sincerely interested in this union, and considering that your younger daughter's progress might be slower, we can consider your elder daughter as well. As you saw last night, she's obedient and polite. Both of you can easily influence her. What do you think?"

Mrs. Wesley's words caused both Brody and Page to freeze, and while Brody didn't show much reaction, Page immediately exclaimed, "No, that's not possible!"

Page flatly refused, and the atmosphere in the room grew tense. Mrs. Wesley looked at Page with confusion and asked, "Mrs. Armstrong, I don't understand what you mean."

Page took a deep, silent breath, her face still stiff. However, she felt strangely calm while trying to maintain her composure. She looked at Mr. Wesley and Mrs. Wesley with a smile that was more grimace than cry and said, "Mr. Wesley, Mrs. Wesley, we had initially agreed on our younger daughter. Let's stick to the original plan."

Mrs. Wesley looked at Page with a quizzical expression, her doubt evident in her words, "Mrs. Armstrong, do you have reservations about your eldest daughter? Do you think she's too good for the Wesley family?"

"Of course not," Page hastily denied, her gaze involuntarily seeking Brody's help. However, Brody remained deep in thought, his face showing no emotion. Page had to rely on herself and continued, "Mrs. Wesley, please don't misunderstand. Our eldest daughter already has a boyfriend, so she isn't suitable for the Wesley family. Our younger daughter is the right choice. Besides, she's already had a child, while our eldest daughter follows the DINK lifestyle."
