My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1054

Chapter 1054: Argument

Her message had just been sent, and Sienna emerged from the lounge seconds later, considering Camille's words as her green light to come out.

Sienna walked directly to the dining table and took Camille's seat. She waved at Page, her expression friendly, "Welcome, Mrs. Armstrong. Is the food to your liking?"

Sienna intentionally addressed her as Mrs. Armstrong. She had previously tried calling her Aunt many times, but Page never responded positively. Instead, she openly discouraged Camille from associating with Sienna. Page believed that Sienna was just an ordinary person and had no connection to the King family in Flento . She couldn't even fathom the idea that Sienna might marry Rex.

Sienna was well aware of Page's coldness. All of this had stemmed from Page's shallow nature and her distaste for Camille. Therefore, Sienna didn't feel inclined to be polite and made no effort to greet Page when they met. Each encounter ended with Page offering no greeting, and Sienna had no intention of changing that. It wasn't worth the effort to initiate contact.

Sienna took a seat beside Camille, propped her chin on her hand, and stared at Page with a faint smile. The way she examined Page made her expression slightly uncomfortable, although Page didn't outwardly react. She kept her gaze on Sienna and replied with a gentle tone, "Sienna, you don't need to be so polite. You can call me Aunt. I didn't expect you to be so capable. The restaurant is well-maintained, and the food is delicious. It's really nice. Next time, I'll bring some friends to dine at your restaurant."

"That's nice of you, Mrs. Armstrong." Sienna deliberately emphasized Mrs. Armstrong, and then she added, "It's better if you keep calling me Mrs. Armstrong. Calling me Aunt would be too familiar. After all, we aren't that close, don't you think?"

Page's expression stiffened briefly, but she quickly managed a smile. She commented, "Sienna, you're as playful as ever."

Sienna blinked playfully, and her expression became warmer. She said, "I'm not joking, you know. Everything I said is true. Mrs. Armstrong, your visit to my restaurant today is an honor. I heard you're treating Camille today, right? So, I have to give Mrs. Armstrong a discount later."

Sienna, as always, didn't consider Page's feelings. She freely expressed herself and acted without regard for Page's emotions.

Page was left unsure of how to respond to this situation.

The atmosphere gradually quieted down, but Camille continued to eat in silence, her head down, showing no signs of trying to defuse the tension.

Page, seeing this, forced a smile and tried to ease the awkwardness. After nearly half a minute of silence, Page finally spoke in a calm tone, "Sienna, it's your restaurant, and you're such good friends with Cami. Whether you offer a discount or not doesn't really matter. After all, we're all family, and it doesn't matter whether we make more or less money. What matters is that we're all happy."

Page's words left no room for argument. On one hand, she emphasized the strong friendship between Camille and Sienna, implying that it would be unreasonable for Sienna not to offer a discount or charge them. On the other hand, she made it clear that Camille could afford to pay full price. This comparison made it clear that Sienna should be considerate of their relationship.

However, it was also a message to Sienna that she didn't need to offer a discount; she had the means to pay the full amount. In this contrast, Sienna would appear unreasonable if she didn't make the gesture of goodwill.

Sienna loved engaging in conversations where words were chosen carefully. She raised an eyebrow, looking as though she couldn't understand. She continued, "Thank you for your support, Mrs. Armstrong. I'll be honest with you. I never offer discounts when Camille dines here. But today, just for the words you just said, I'll make sure to give you a discount."
