Camille blinked, her eyes fixed on Ayan. She opened her mouth as if to ask but wasn't sure where to start.
While Camille hesitated, Ayan's voice gradually broke the silence. He said, "I never expected you to say yes immediately. I haven't prepared anything. I just thought there's been a lot going on lately. I decided to take you out for a break and see if my plans align with your expectations. But watching you so happy, I thought you might like it. If that's the case, I was ready to propose today."
When they were at the civil affairs office handling their divorce procedures, Ayan had mentioned that whatever others had, he would compensate for it in Camille's life.
This compensation naturally started with the proposal.
Camille remained silent, listening to him speak softly. He said a lot, but from beginning to end, he made it clear to Camille: "As long as you feel it's not the right time or doesn't meet your expectations completely, you can refuse. But if you refuse, you must give me another chance, and that chance can only be given to me, understand?"
If the fireworks made Camille happy and even a bit moved, Ayan's words at this moment had completely shattered Camille's inner world.
Because every word of his sucked her into his vortex. Even though she knew that falling in would lead to an irreversible catastrophe, Camille hesitated for no moment and willingly succumbed.
Camille maintained her silence, waiting for Ayan to finish every word. Then, she took the initiative to reach out, encircling the man's waist, completely burying herself in his embrace.
In a place where Ayan couldn't see, her eyes turned slightly red. His words were genuinely considerate of her.
Perhaps she had lost many things, but what she gained was much more.
So, life was fair.
Camille pressed her lips together, remaining immersed, saying nothing as she held onto Ayan.
Perhaps sensing her emotions, Ayan lifted his hand gently, stroking her hair. He lifted her face from his chest, staring into her reddened eyes. His voice was husky, and a faint smile played on his thin lips as he asked, "Why are you crying? Just from this? If I do something else later, are you going to cry endlessly?"
Camille raised her hand, lightly hitting his chest, and in a hoarse voice, she said, "I'm not crying!"
"Yes, you're not crying. I misunderstood, huh?"
Ayan was delighted. He gently embraced Camille, leaning down to kiss the corner of her lips, then held her in his arms again.
He said, "I didn't do all this to make you cry. I want you to be happy, you know?"
Camille nodded lightly, still pursing her lips, held in Ayan's embrace. The two remained silent, just quietly hugging each other.
They stayed on the mountaintop until it was nearing dawn before driving down.
Upon returning to Franklin Bay, they encountered Sienna and Rex, who were taking a stroll hand in hand. Having noticed the headlights approaching, Sienna and Rex stopped, realizing it was either Ayan and Camille or their family's car. Taking a casual walk wasn't an option, so it had to be Camille and Ayan.
The two watched as the car approached, stopping in front of them.
Camille got out of the car and looked at Sienna and Rex, asking, "Are you two still working out so late?"
Sienna snorted, rolled her eyes at Camille, and asked, "Where were you guys? I shouted for half an hour without any response. I thought you were already asleep. Turns out, you sneaked out to play. Didn't bother to let us know. Are you secretly going out to eat something delicious?"
Camille pursed her lips and smiled, "Yes, we went out for a feast, and intentionally didn't bring you along. So, don't bother asking. Do you really want to know such a cruel truth that would make you uncomfortable?"
Ayan also got out of the car, handing a cigarette to Rex. Rex subconsciously looked at Sienna, who didn't respond. Rex said, "No, I can't smoke lately. We're trying to conceive."
Rex stated it boldly, and Ayan casually put the cigarette back in the car. He rarely smoked; occasionally, when he felt agitated, he'd have one.
Camille shot a glance at Sienna, whispering, "Are you trying to conceive?"
Sienna replied, "I'm not telling you. You didn't inform me when you went out to eat, didn't bring me along. We live together, just separated by a wall. You didn't even shout, aren't you a bit heartless?"
Camille walked over and hooked her arm around Sienna's, saying, "Oh, come on. I told you we were going to eat, and you believed it?"
