My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1272

Chapter 1272: Relaxation

Ayan, who was called upon, raised an eyebrow and a faint smile appeared on his face. He replied, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault. Can we start eating now? Your granddaughter Cami is already hungry. As for me, your grandson-in-law, I don't really mind whether I eat or not."

"In that case, I'll punish you by not letting you eat today," the old Simpson chuckled at his words. He had originally intended to sternly tell him not to eat, but the tone of his words ended up filled with laughter.

With Camille's calming and explanation, the old Simpson's words were clearly just a joke.

The pace of this meal was somewhat slow. Recently, if Ayan wasn't in Hance City, Camille wouldn't come specially either. After all, Fletcher would be there to accompany the old Simpson every day, so Camille would likely have to shuttle between the company and the Simpson's mansion.

During the meal, Ayan received a phone call and went to the balcony to continue the conversation.

At the dining table, only Camille and the old Simpson were left. Today, the old butler and the cook Nanny had eaten earlier and were now watching TV in the living room, deliberately creating space for the three of them to talk.

Of course, the old Simpson was well aware of Ayan's upcoming business trip. Now that Ayan had gone out to take a phone call, the old Simpson lowered his voice and asked Camille, "Is he going on this business trip alone?"

Camille was slightly puzzled, not fully understanding the old Simpson's meaning, but she replied, "Kian is going with him."

"Aren't you going? He didn't ask you to go with him?" The old Simpson's tone carried a hint of anxiety and concern, and his cloudy eyes revealed some emotions. He said, "He'll be away for about a week on this business trip, right? For such a long time, you should accompany him. This foreign country is so far away, you have to keep an eye on him, watch over him, and not give him any chance to relax."

The old Simpson's words made Camille burst into laughter.

Camille looked at the old Simpson helplessly. How much did he distrust Ayan?

She served the old Simpson a bowl of soup and spoke softly, "Grandfather, I know you're concerned for my well-being, but I trust Ayan. Because of your constant guidance and teachings, I believe he won't do anything to disappoint us. And more importantly, his work keeps him busy, and I'm also quite busy now. In the future, there will likely be more situations like this, so I think it would be best to give each other maximum trust. What do you say?"

The old Simpson listened carefully to Camille's words. Hearing her speak like this, he subconsciously nodded and said, "Hmm, you're not wrong. Then, follow your own thoughts. Regardless of any situation, you can always tell me immediately. With me around, no one dares to bully you."

"Okay, I know Grandfather always treats me the best," Camille said as she watched the old Simpson finish his soup and almost finish his meal. The two of them then left the table and sat in the nearby resting area.

Although they were staying in the hospital, the old Simpson's living requirements here were not much different from those at the Simpson's mansion.

Even though it was a hospital room, it was like a fully equipped small apartment, which was enough to meet the old Simpson's needs.

Ayan's phone call lasted for about half an hour, which was understandable considering it was a matter related to his company.

After finishing the call, Ayan waited for the old Simpson to finish his meal and then played a few rounds of chess with him. Although the old Simpson was old, his mind was still sharp. Even someone like Ayan, who was good at chess, had to play seriously, as a slight oversight could lead to the old Simpson winning directly.

Camille sat by the side, accompanying them, occasionally serving tea and washing some fruits. Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the two had been at the hospital for more than three hours. Although there was still some time before Ayan's flight, after the old Simpson finished the second game, he proactively said, "I'm tired and want to take a nap. You two can go back now. Be careful on your business trip, make sure to arrange everything in Hance City, and prioritize the family. The company has a team to take care of things, so you don't need to worry too much. But Cami and Timmy are the most important, so make sure to arrange everything properly."

The old Simpson made these arrangements with a serious expression. Ayan listened attentively and nodded in agreement.
