My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1039

Chapter 1039: Pawn

Ayan's stance and attitude were crystal clear. His words left the old Simpson, Fletcher, and Talia in silent agreement. It was like a resounding slap to Brody and Page's faces. Although Ayan's status and influence far surpassed theirs in the business world, for Brody, Ayan was still his junior, and being scolded by his junior in front of the old Simpson and his parents was humiliating.

Brody, with a stern expression, turned to Ayan and snorted, "Ayan, with your attitude, I will never allow Camille to remarry you. Since you are divorced, there is no relationship left. So today, I hope you can assure me in front of your grandfather and parents that you won't bother Camille anymore. Don't cause a scene that tarnishes our reputation."

Ayan couldn't help but laugh. He genuinely chuckled. Laughter played across his features, and his deep eyes sparkled with amusement. He calmly raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you suggesting I should stay away from Camille and hand her over to your family, the Armstrongs?"

"Naturally. After all, you're divorced now. Regarding the child, we don't want to compete, as it's a boy. We understand that you won't let go. But Camille belongs to the Armstrong family. We are her parents. Now that you are divorced, she should come back with us. Ayan, isn't it better to part on good terms? Let's not make this ugly!" Brody said righteously. His goal was clear-to take Camille back with them.

To an outsider unaware of the situation, he might even seem like a caring father, but Camille, as a party to the situation, couldn't help but wonder if she had missed something. Why were Brody and Page so insistent on taking her back?

Of course, she knew that their motivations were primarily driven by their self-interest, especially with the Wesley family still present in Hance City.

A cynical smile played at Camille's lips. She couldn't help but chuckle and then spoke calmly, "So, am I a minor child or a pet? Why do you never consider my opinion? Do you think that even though I'm an adult and a mother, I should still obediently follow your arrangements?"

Camille's expression towards Brody and Page turned icy, with a hint of clear disdain in her eyes. Her demeanor was cold and aloof.

However, Brody retorted directly, "You belong to the Armstrong family, so you should naturally follow the Armstrong family's arrangements."

"But have you ever treated me as a member of the Armstrong family?"

"Camille, can you please be sensible? The adults are talking right now. If you have something to say, wait until we get home. Tell Ayan now, in front of the old Simpson, to stop bothering you. You're already divorced, continuing to be together will only invite ridicule," Page promptly interrupted Camille, not allowing her to continue.

Ayan raised a hand to pull Camille behind him, shielding her from Brody and Page's gaze. His deep, slightly narrowed eyes radiated a chilling indifference, and he said coldly, "Is it Camille who needs to clarify things with me or do you want her to do it? Going to such lengths for the Wesley family, what are your intentions? This is the Simpson family, not your Armstrong family. Do you think today's events can replay themselves here?"

Brody, with a cold expression, retorted, "I don't know what you're talking about, Ayan. With your grandfather present, is this your attitude?" Brody knew he couldn't argue with Ayan and didn't want to continue the conversation. He quickly turned to the old Simpson, who had been silent on the side.

He said to the old Simpson, "Mr. Simpson, you saw it too. Ayan's attitude. How can I trust him with Camille when we've already divorced? Why hold on for so long? While we may not match up to the Simpson family, we won't let ourselves be bullied!"
