My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1055

Chapter 1055: Excellence

Page's expression suddenly changed. She likely hadn't anticipated Sienna to say such a thing. After all, this was essentially telling Page that if she kept pressuring Camille for a chance, she would be forcing her daughter. A loving mother wouldn't push her child into something they didn't want to do.

But if Page didn't continue in this way, and went along with Camille's wishes, how would she explain this to Brody?

Page was caught in a dilemma because she genuinely didn't want to do as Camille suggested. The consequences of complying would be another round of Brody's scolding, and his previous words still rang in her ears. The only way to truly benefit the Armstrong family was to make amends with Camille, but there was also a hidden agenda, something Page had kept from even Brody.

With tightly pursed lips, Page wore a grave expression. She remained silent, with her eyes reflecting her inner turmoil.

Her silence took both Camille and Sienna by surprise. Had she accepted or was she considering a different approach or an excuse?

Sienna exchanged a significant glance with Camille and then said coolly, "If you don't have anything else to say, you don't need to come to me next time."

Page's face displayed a slight hint of unease, and she looked up at Camille. Her expression remained profoundly serious, and she took a deep breath before speaking, "Cami, I know you don't trust me, and you don't believe I could change so quickly in such a short time. But even so, I have to tell you that I genuinely want to mend our relationship. I always feel that despite all the misunderstandings between us, we will eventually reconcile. After all, we're mother and daughter, and there should be no misunderstandings we can't overcome. The reason I treated you differently from Grace in the past isn't as you think. It wasn't because you aren't as dear to me as Grace. It was due to you not growing up by my side, and the pressures I faced within the Armstrong family. I couldn't control my heart. I don't know why I've become the way I am now. I've been diligently managing our home and working to maintain our relationship."

As Page spoke, she raised her hands and covered her face, her reaction causing Camille's expression to darken. Page had always given the impression that she was responsible for the family, leaving Brody carefree. She'd raised Grace very well, which had contributed to her excellent reputation in social circles. Many socialite wives even considered her a role model. Her actions had enhanced Brody's prestige. Their relationship had always appeared harmonious and loving.

But Page's words right now indicated an inner struggle, and it raised questions for Camille. Her mother's explanation made her feel like Page had been holding onto pent-up feelings.

Camille remained silent, her lips pursed as she lowered her head without offering a response.

Page's voice lowered even further as she whispered, "Cami, I haven't told anyone about how I've been living with the Armstrong family all these years. It's not that I don't love you; it's just that there are certain things I had no choice in. So, I had no way."

"Are you sure you don't know that your dad already has someone else outside?" Page smiled bitterly, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't stop speaking. She continued, "This is a stain on my life, but I can't do anything about it. I can't wash it away. It's like it's engraved on me, and I can't get rid of it. The only way is to constantly remind myself to do my best, to be perfect, so this stain won't be exposed, so it will forever remain hidden in the dark."

Because they were in a public place, Page kept her voice hushed. Even though she was telling Camille all this, she still didn't want the Armstrong family's matters to leak out. If it got out, she'd be the subject of ridicule, and at the moment, she wasn't planning to completely sever ties with Brody.

As for why she suddenly became so honest with Camille, only Page knew the reason.
