"I won't give in. I want him to think I'm with you every moment and curse you in her heart."
"Oh my, why is your heart so wicked?" Sienna playfully shook her head. "With you acting like this, I might think you have ulterior motives for me."
Camille couldn't help but laugh. Sienna's acting was really on point, and it was clear she didn't mean it seriously. She said, "I'm sending her a message now, asking her to come. Would you like to join us for dinner?"
Sienna replied, "Maybe it's better if I don't. I'm afraid Mrs. Armstrong won't be able to eat with me around. And even if she manages to eat, she might get indigestion. So, don't worry about me; I can have dinner on my own. It's not necessary for you to accompany me. Go and have dinner with her. It's fine, really."
Camille knew Sienna was just teasing her, and she couldn't help but smile. She understood Sienna's desire not to interfere with Camille's dinner with Page.
It was indeed their first dinner alone. Camille had invited Page to dine several times before, but Page had always declined with various excuses, mostly urging Camille to focus on her work and avoid distractions. A smaller part of the excuses was about the quality of food at home-why go out when they had a good meal at home? Camille stopped inviting Page after a while because she didn't want to embarrass herself.
Looking back, it seemed quite ridiculous. Even for their own parents, they had to have a reason to visit. Initially, Camille didn't find this strange. Now, she couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity.
Camille sent Page a message, and she quickly received a reply. Page said, "I'm nearby right now. I'll come over. Why don't you go ahead and order something? You decide what you want to eat."
Camille had no reason to decline. She had to wait for Page.
Camille and Sienna entered the restaurant, and Camille chose a table by the window with a view of the entrance. There weren't many people in the restaurant at the moment, so Sienna didn't need to help and headed to the kitchen to find some food for herself. Then, she planned to go to the lounge to relax while Camille had dinner.
Sitting at her table, Camille placed her order, but Page hadn't arrived yet. She picked up her phone and sent a message to Talia: "Mom, can I see Timmy?"
Talia replied quickly, saying, "Of course, we'll take a video of him and send it to you right away."
Camille smiled and replied, "That sounds perfect. Just send me a video. I'm currently outside, so it's not convenient for me to take a video call."
Talia sent an OK hand gesture emoji and quickly sent a video of Timmy playing with his toy cars.
In the video, Timmy was sitting on the floor, engrossed in playing with toy cars. He had recently taken a liking to them, and Fletcher had bought him a lot of toy cars. They were overflowing from the toy box. It was as if they wanted to shower all the love they had for Ayan on Timmy, their one and only grandson. Talia didn't oppose this approach, and Camille and Ayan's protests were in vain. As Talia put it, "He's our only grandson. If we don't dote on him, who should we dote on? You two are never home anyway. If you were, you could share the affection with him. But since you're not home, we have to make up for it."
With things at this stage, Camille and Ayan could only accept the situation. Watching Timmy in the video, fully immersed in playing with his toy cars, not even paying attention to his mother, Camille couldn't help but smile. Talia kept calling him, "Timmy, say hi to mommy! Give mommy a wave."
He waved his hand indifferently and said, "Mom, I'm playing with my cars. Do you want to join me?"
Throughout the conversation, he didn't even lift his head.
Camille couldn't help but think, with his mind filled with toys, would he be the same when he grew up and got married? Would he focus on his wife, or would he remain equally devoted to her, just as Ayan was to Talia?
These thoughts brought a bittersweet smile to Camille's face. However, when she remembered how dedicated Ayan remained to his mother even after their marriage, her worries seemed less concerning. She believed that Timmy would likely be the same.
Camille pursed her lips and relaxed her expression. She chatted with Talia about Timmy for a while. After a moment, her peripheral vision caught sight of a black car parking outside. Page got out of the car. She had driven herself, and there was no driver. Camille's gaze automatically scanned the surroundings but didn't spot anyone suspicious.
