My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1188

Chapter 1188: Why Bother

After asking, his distinct black and white eyes continued to gaze at Camille without any intention of looking away. He was waiting for Camille's response.

However, Camille didn't say anything more. She remained silent, and her expression wasn't very pleasant.

This silence naturally made Preston's emotions escalate. He coldly said, "Cami, are we not even allowed to have a proper conversation anymore? Do you want me to completely disappear from your world?"

Camille didn't say anything. She didn't understand why he was so sensitive, nor did she understand why he was always prone to such fantasies. So she felt a bit helpless, her expression showing distress. She sighed silently, but her face didn't change much. Calmly, she said, "I haven't said anything, so I don't quite understand the meaning behind your words just now. It's not that I don't want to talk to you; I simply don't know where to start."

Because she had no idea how to answer his inquiries. Perhaps in Preston's eyes, providing an answer was something easy that could be done just by opening her mouth. But Camille didn't see it that way. She believed that if she was going to answer, the response must truly reflect what she felt in her heart; otherwise, she would rather not answer at all.

Camille was stubborn like that. She took everything seriously, especially when it came to following her own heart.

Perhaps she could just give him a perfunctory answer, but what would happen after that? Those perfunctory words would still require accountability. After all that had happened, Camille had come to understand that Preston was a person who took things seriously. Once words were spoken, he had to follow through. That was the answer she had arrived at after experiencing so much, so she had to be cautious-cautious and even more cautious.

After Camille's words, Preston no longer had the same questioning tone. His demeanor seemed to have softened considerably, and he looked at Camille, saying, "Cami, I didn't mean anything else. You know me. I barely have any friends, and you are my best friend, my only friend. Apart from you, there is no one else. You helped me when I needed it the most. That's why you're the most important person to me, no matter when."

After he finished speaking, he let out a heavy sigh, and his expression became somewhat unpleasant.

Seeing him like this, Camille naturally asked casually, "What's wrong?"

Preston replied, "It's nothing. Didn't you ask about the progress of my investigation? Well, I found out that this gossip reporter isn't in Hance City anymore. He has gone to a historical drama set."

"A drama set?" Camille's face stiffened, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Preston nodded and said, "Yes, a drama set. I bet you can't guess who he's associated with, right?"

Camille remained silent, and at that moment, the café waiter arrived with juice and coffee, interrupting their conversation for about half a minute.

After the waiter left, Preston's voice resurfaced. He said, "Actually, I didn't expect it either. This gossip reporter is actually in a romantic relationship with Eileen. So when I found out about it, I personally went to meet Eileen. Can you guess how she responded?"

Camille was taken aback by his words. This gossip reporter was involved with Eileen? That was something she hadn't anticipated, and perhaps even Ayan hadn't expected it either.

Camille shook her head lightly, her expression and curiosity still not clearly evident. She simply waited quietly for Preston to continue.

He said, "Cami, what I'm about to tell you next might make you question it, but you have to believe me-I won't lie to you. These are the results of my investigation and the recorded conversation."

He played the recording, which featured a conversation between Preston and Eileen.

In the recording, Preston asked Eileen, "What's your relationship with this gossip reporter?"

"He's my current boyfriend," Eileen replied.
