"Heh!" the old Simpson sneered, his deep voice following, "Since you're not here to defend Cami, what's your purpose in the Simpson family? Is it just for show, to make us think you're a good mother or to earn our favor? We should naturally show you respect s Cami's mother, but your actions make it impossible for us to change our opinion of you, especially concerning Cami. You don't seem concerned about how she fares in the Simpson family because of what you have done. What distinguishes you from those who only seek personal gain?"
The old Simpson rarely spoke such words, and he rarely interfered in someone else's affairs unless their actions truly bothered him, making it hard for him to swallow. In this case, he had to say a few words.
The old Simpson's words silenced the atmosphere and made everyone, except for Page, feel gratified.
Camille felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude in her heart. She was genuinely grateful to have encountered the Simpson family.
Despite the cold treatment she received from the Armstrong family and the absence of the care and love one would expect from normal parents, she didn't feel too much loss because she had found more love and acceptance in the Simpson family, something no material possessions could replace.
Camille considered herself lucky for encountering the Simpsons.
Whether or not there were feelings between him and Ayan, the Simpson family had always treated her well.
This kind of kindness was something Camille had never experienced in the Armstrong family.
What moved Camille even more was that the old Simpson had spoken so many words on her behalf.
She lightly bit her lip, looking at the old Simpson with eyes full of gratitude and emotion, but the old Simpson hadn't spoken yet.
After this speech, Page naturally felt like she had been slapped across the face, with her cheeks stinging, but this wasn't the end.
The old Simpson's voice rang out again, saying, "Don't think that Cami is isolated and helpless without the Armstrong family's love and care. That's not the case at all. She's neither isolated nor alone. She has a child, a husband, and family members like us. The Armstrong family's concern about her relationship with Ayan? For us, the Simpson family, that's irrelevant. Marriage is just a piece of paper. The Simpson family will provide her with what she needs, regardless of her identity and the timing. We do it because she's Cami. We don't recognize anyone else."
Following the old Simpson's words, Fletcher added, "This is taken for granted in the Simpson family. Whether it's us or Ayan, we only recognize Cami."
"Yeah, so don't think Cami doesn't have family. We are all her family, and although you may not believe that we truly treat her as family, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. What we say, we can do, and we only need to make Cami feel it, without worrying about people who don't care about her."
Talia followed suit, and walked over to Camille. She extended her hand and gently held Camille's hand, speaking in a very gentle voice, "You may not care for her or love her, but we, the Simpson family, hope that you won't disturb her. If you need money, come to us, the parents, directly, instead of going to our children."
The old Simpson also showed approval for Talia's words because her words struck a chord with him.
Since the Simpson family firmly supported Camille, Page couldn't question or accuse Camille. She also couldn't do anything to the Simpsons. In the end, the dinner ended without further incidents.
However, it was only Page who left on her own; others continued eating.
With Page's departure, the atmosphere became harmonious and relaxed. The old Simpson looked at Camille and said, "In the future, if you don't want to contact the Armstrong family, you don't have to. I didn't want to say much before because you're family, but after all these incidents, I've realized they don't deserve to be your family. From now on, the Simpson family is your family, regardless of your relationship with Ayan. The Simpson family will always be your home."
