Camille asked softly, her tone filled with anxiety, even successfully portraying a feeling of desperation, as if she had no choice but to try anything in her desperation.
After hearing Camille's words, Preston was momentarily stunned, then he said, "I'm not very familiar with Eileen, and even if I contact her, it might not be helpful."
"Preston, I have no other options now. Besides reaching out to you, I don't think I have any other way. I don't know what to do anymore."
Camille lowered her voice, showing a genuine concern and urgency about not being able to find her husband.
Her reaction successfully made Preston believe her, and he was probably anxious to confirm the situation. Thus, he reluctantly agreed to help contact Eileen, but he couldn't guarantee whether they would actually get in touch.
After thanking Preston, Camille ended the call.
Preston probably intended to call Eileen directly, or maybe he wouldn't call at all and would contact Camille after a while. He had no other options, or perhaps he would tell Camille that Eileen was currently with Ayan. At this late hour, being alone together could lead to certain activities, and as adults, they understood it without needing to be explicitly stated.
Although Camille knew that everything was somehow related to Preston, when the moment arrived, she still felt helpless.
Faced with Preston's words, she didn't have a clear response. She simply expressed her emotions as extremely low-spirited.
On the other end of the phone, Preston continued to console her, saying, "Cami, I'm a man, I understand men. If he hasn't contacted you at this hour, have you considered that he might have left the restaurant already? There are hardly any people there at this time. Do you really believe he wouldn't do anything to betray you?"
Camille remained silent, just subconsciously looking at Ayan. She stared at the man in front of her, pursing her lips and smiling faintly. "I don't know. I'll have to ask him to know the answer to that question."
"Cami!! Are you still thinking about him all the time? Can't you think about yourself for once?" Preston's voice was filled with anger. He said, "At this point, why can't you think about yourself? If Ayan truly has you in his heart, why would he go on a date with Eileen? Camille, wake up. I'm not saying this to manipulate you or to sabotage your relationship. I just don't want to see my best friend fall into this again and again!"
Preston's tone was filled with emotion, and every word he spoke was for Camille's sake.
He took a deep breath, seeming like he wanted to say more, but Camille interrupted him, speaking with a bitter smile and indifference, "Preston, at this point, do you still want to rub salt in my wounds?"
Camille's interruption silenced Preston, and she continued in a timely manner, "Preston, let's leave it at that. I don't want to say anything right now. I'm tired, and I want to go home and rest."
Without waiting for Preston to respond, she ended the call first.
Ayan took her phone from her and threw it onto the corner of the couch. His expression was cold and indifferent as he said, "Preston really cares about you, huh?"
He gritted his teeth, full of displeasure and disdain for Preston.
Camille looked at him in amusement and said, "Mr. Simpson, maybe he pities a woman who has been deceived by a man!"
Camille sighed and her eyes revealed a hint of helplessness.
Ayan cupped her face and scoffed, "He's just a bitch."
