My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1157

Chapter 1157: No Way

Ayan saw a hint of cunning in Camille's eyes, and a faint smile played on her thin lips. He whispered, "Am I not honest enough? I almost showed you the color of my heart."

This remark instantly changed the atmosphere. Camille couldn't help but tremble a bit and quickly said, "Your words are a bit scary. Let's talk about something positive!"

"Scared, huh?" Ayan looked at her, unable to resist asking, "Simpson Group recently invested in a movie, and it's ready to hit theaters in a few days. How about we go together to the premiere?"

Camille casually asked, "What movie is it?"

"A somewhat special one," Ayan said lightly. He then picked up his phone and opened an unreleased promotional video. "Kian sent it to me, and I haven't watched it yet. Let's watch it together!"

Ayan had a rough idea of the movie's content. It wasn't an overly emotional or comedic film. Instead, it delved into aspects of human nature based on some common occurrences in society.

The movie was somewhat oppressive, especially when the scumbag locked his wife in an iron box and pushed it into the Yangtze River. The despair portrayed made it heart-wrenching and infuriating to watch. In the end, the scumbag naturally paid the price.

However, after watching, there was a somewhat silent atmosphere. Camille's face, in particular, was filled with a stiff blankness. After a while, she looked at Ayan and asked, "Why would Simpson Group invest in such a movie?"

"It got approved by the investment department. After discussions among the company's top executives, they believed it could generate enough attention for Simpson Group in the latter half of the year."

"So, it wasn't your approval?"

"Of course not." Ayan stared at Camille, watching her seemingly relieved expression. He chuckled and asked, "Scared by the plot?"

"Of course. Seeing such a plot, I can't help but imagine myself as the protagonist." She looked at Ayan, her eyes shimmering with concern. She said, "Do you think I'm too naive?"

"Not naive. It's because everyone has empathy." He tightly held Camille's hand and said, "I never believe in vows and promises. All I can do is stick to the unchanging original intention."

The unchanging original intention eased Camille's worries. She wasn't worried about becoming the female lead in the movie, nor was she afraid that Ayan would become the male lead. She was just concerned that such scenes might happen around them or to them. Ayan's statement about the unchanging original intention made her completely clear-headed. Some things, even if worrying, seemed to be of no avail. After all, what's destined to come will come, and what's not meant to be won't be obtained through pleas.

As they spoke, time passed quickly, and they soon arrived at Sienna's restaurant.

Rex was ten minutes early, and as he watched the scene of the two holding hands entering, he suddenly felt a bit regretful. Wasn't he afraid he came here to be a third wheel? More like he was going to eat dog food?

Rex's words made Camille feel a bit embarrassed, but Ayan took it in stride. In a calm tone, he said, "You're not going to eat? If you feel like you're about to become a third wheel, why not leave now? Don't even bother hoping for a chance to eat dog food; just go sit alone at the next table!"

This was the kind of teasing that only Ayan could get away with; if it were anyone else, Rex probably wouldn't be so forgiving.

After Ayan's remark, Rex naturally couldn't actually leave. Instead, he sat in his seat and looked at Camille, asking in a low voice, "Cami, do you know who she's having dinner with tonight?"

Camille didn't immediately answer but countered with a question, "Didn't she tell you?"

Camille smiled lightly; after all, Sienna was her friend. She couldn't directly answer for Sienna, especially considering Sienna's relationship with Rex. In such a situation, as a friend, she felt it wasn't quite appropriate to say anything!

Camille's response made Rex slightly stunned. Rex subconsciously looked at Ayan, adopting a tone of complaint as he said, "Ayan, look at your wife. She won't even help me cheat. Can't you say something for me? We're the best of brothers, after all!"
