My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1068

Chapter 1068: Too Fierce

Then Talia quickly invited Page to take a seat and engaged in polite conversation with her. In reality, there wasn't much to discuss, but given Talia's position, she was skilled in handling such topics and diffusing tension.

Camille remained silent, seated on the side, until the servant reminded them it was time for dinner.

Talia invited Page to the dining room, and Camille and Sienna followed suit.

Once seated, there were only the four women present.

Unable to hold back her curiosity, Page asked, "Where are Mr. Simpson and the old Mr. Simpson?"

Talia replied in a warm tone, "They've gone out. Besides, today is a gathering for us ladies, and it's not convenient for them to be here."

Page's face slightly stiffened. It was evident that this wasn't a welcoming gesture to her as a family member but rather an intentional separation.

However, Page refrained from commenting. Instead, Sienna continued the conversation, saying, "Aunt, this is quite nice. Having men around makes our conversations less comfortable."

"Yes, I think so too. They have their own dinner, and this works out perfectly," Talia added with a smile. She then turned her gaze to Page and said, "I'm not sure what your preferences are, so we've prepared a variety of dishes. If any of them don't suit your taste, please don't hesitate to let us know. Since it's your first time dining at the Simpson's mansion, there might be some areas where our preparations fall short. We appreciate your understanding."

Talia's words were filled with courtesy and politeness, but Page sensed the underlying message.

This was her first visit to the Simpson's mansion after such a long time. Clearly, the somewhat distant relationship with Camille was the reason behind this treatment. In a close-knit mother-daughter relationship, such measures wouldn't be necessary.

Page couldn't say anything, so she replied with a smile, "This is more than suitable. You're being too kind. We're just four people, and you've prepared such an abundant feast. It's really not necessary."

"Don't mention it," Talia said with a soft smile.

Camille remained mostly silent and, at one point, picked up a soup bowl, ladling a bowl of soup for Talia and then for Sienna, and finally for herself.

After serving three bowls of soup, she set down the ladle and picked up a spoon to sip her own soup. This scene made Page's face turn stiff. Still, since Talia hadn't requested that Camille serve her, Page couldn't directly accuse Camille. She quickly tried to cover the situation by saying, "I'm not a fan of soup. I didn't expect Cami to remember."

Talia looked at Camille with a doting expression and said, "Cami is very considerate."

"Indeed, she's very considerate," Page echoed, though her expression remained icy.

With no further incidents, everyone continued to eat in silence. When the meal was almost over, Page inquired, "Where's Timmy? Why haven't I seen him?"

Talia explained, "This time is Timmy's naptime, and he's currently asleep."

Page suggested, "I haven't seen him at all. Isn't it time for him to wake up? Why don't we wake him? I haven't seen him in a while and would like to play with him today."

As soon as Page made this request, Camille's voice chimed in.
