My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1130

Chapter 1130: Cooperation

Camille silently pondered, thinking that if she hadn't overheard the conversation between Mario and Sienna, she might have believed what Mario said.

Mario, to his credit, remained composed, showing no signs of emotion, and his face remained expressionless.

Camille lightly pursed her lips, maintaining a calm expression as she sat beside Ayan, who, despite conversing with Mario, continued to take care of her-serving her food and peeling shrimp-missing nothing.

Their interaction was natural and affectionate, prompting Mario to comment, "Mr. Simpson and Cami have such a good relationship. As the big brother who has watched Cami grow from a little girl to now, I genuinely feel happy!"

Ayan smiled faintly and asked, "Mr. King is older than me?"

Mario frowned slightly and nodded, "Yes, by a year."

"I can handle even children. Mr. King should be getting married soon, right? I heard Mr. King already has a fiancée. Why didn't you bring her along this time to Hance City?" Ayan asked casually, his handsome expression carrying a subtle smile, seemingly intentional yet elusive.

Their eyes met, and Mario smiled slowly. He replied, "No fiancée. That's all in the past. But there is someone I like, for many years."

"Oh, I thought a work-focused man like Mr. King wouldn't have a special liking for anyone. I didn't expect Mr. King to possess the trait of a romantic brain!" Ayan chuckled lightly, teasing in his words.

Mario didn't evade the question and looked directly at Ayan. He said with a wry smile, "Not exactly a romantic brain. It's just that I have a flaw."

"Oh, what flaw is that?"

"I pursue everything I desire with unwavering determination. After all, one should not compromise when it comes to what one wants, right?" Mario hinted, his profound gaze carrying significant implications, and all three understood the unspoken message.

Camille, feeling an urge to directly refute Mario's words, stopped herself at the last moment. She seemed to lack the right to stop Mario as they had no relationship, and she wasn't anyone to Mario. So, what right did she have?

Moreover, crucially, Mario hadn't explicitly said he intended to sabotage Sienna and Rex's relationship. He merely expressed his desire to obtain what he liked.

Camille felt a sense of discomfort, unable to voice her thoughts.

However, in the next moment, as if Ayan had seen through her feelings, his voice, calm and unhurried, resonated, "Mr. King, are you a bit obsessive? It's normal to go to great lengths to get what you like, especially if it doesn't belong to anyone. But if it already belongs to someone else, and Mr. King keeps remembering and yearning, it does seem a bit morally questionable!"

Ayan wore a smile, and his words carried a playful tone, making it difficult for anyone to feel displeased, as he seemed to be stating these words with a sense of humor.

Mario's expression flickered slightly as he looked at Ayan, his gaze deepening. After a brief pause, he spoke, "Mr. Simpson is right, but this is just how I am. I prioritize myself over morality."

"Oh, so Mr. King is a bit obsessive. For me, I don't like or covet other people's things," Ayan replied. He raised his glass to Mario, who immediately lifted his own glass to clink with Ayan. They exchanged a smile and finished their drinks.

They didn't dwell on that topic any longer but shifted the conversation to their past collaborations. Mario provided many suggestions for their upcoming partnership and handed Ayan a pre-drafted contract.
