My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1274

Chapter 1274: Admiration

"Mmm, of course," Camille replied.

"If you don't miss me, then why don't you even plan to have dinner? Are you hiding in your room alone, secretly trying to adjust your mood?" The man's low and husky voice carried a clear hint of amusement. His tone echoed in Camille's ears, making her feel like he could see her every word and action. That feeling instantly made her sit up straight, and she became tense.

She said, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm not doing that. I just ate too much with my grandfather at lunch, and I want to lose weight in the evening."

"Is that really the case?"

"Yes."

"Well, then I'll be very sad. I thought that while I'm away on this business trip, you would miss me even just a little bit. It seems I was just being delusional, right?" Ayan's tone sounded deeply hurt, as if he was truly feeling miserable.

Camille, of course, didn't believe what he said. She suppressed her laughter and quickly changed the subject, asking, "Are you ready to go to the airport?"

Ayan replied, "Yes, I'm ready."

"Have a safe trip, and give me a call when you arrive abroad."

"Sure, I will."

"Did Horace go with you?" Yesterday, Horace agreed to go, but Camille didn't know if he actually went today. She suddenly remembered and asked Ayan.

Ayan said, "Yes, he's already at the airport."

"It seems he's quite prompt. He really has a problem with his mouth. Deep down, he must miss Grace, but he denies it by focusing on work." Camille couldn't help but find it funny, her eyes filled with a pink bubble of shipper's delight.

Ayan also sensed Camille's amusement and said, "Why are you so concerned about their affairs?"

"How can they be just 'their affairs'? Grace is my sister. Although I'm not very close to the Armstrong family, my relationship with Grace is acceptable. We won't become enemies, especially after the incident with Armstrong Corp, she has been quite good to me."

Perhaps because they hadn't spent time together before, and they hadn't truly understood each other, they felt unfamiliar and uneasy. It was far from being a clean slate.

More importantly, Grace always felt that she and Ayan were not suitable because she held a kind of admiration for him. However, unlike those who knew Ayan was married but still couldn't help themselves, she didn't make any immoral moves. Grace simply kept this admiration hidden in her heart.

Once she truly understood Camille, she completely let go of this admiration. In fact, most of her admiration stemmed from the influence Brody Page had on her since childhood.

Parents are a child's best teachers, and daily instillations of certain ideas take root in a child's heart. Then, the child truly develops such thoughts.

This was probably one of the main reasons for Grace's previous attitude toward Camille.

The two of them were truly innocent. All decisions were made by their parents, and they couldn't change them nor were they able to change them.

Ayan didn't try to guess Camille's thoughts or consider her words from her perspective, because after hearing Camille's words, other thoughts emerged in his mind.

His face instantly became heavy, and his deep eyes followed suit, growing solemn. He looked out the window with a serious expression, his gaze revealing a hint of restraint. In a low and hoarse voice, he said, "Hmm, you're right. She is your sister, so it's only natural to care about her."

Ayan agreed with Camille's words, but he didn't want to continue the topic. So, before Camille could respond, he changed the subject.

Ayan said, "I called you to let you know that you'll receive messages on your phone even after I board the plane. If you miss me, you can send me a message. But no staying up late. If you can't sleep alone, let Sienna accompany you. Otherwise, you can ask Mom to bring Timmy along, okay?"

"No need for Sienna to accompany me. She's coming to keep me company. Rex must hate me now, right?"

"No, I've already talked to him about it. He's willing to make this sacrifice." Ayan's voice was gentle, filled with indulgence towards Camille.
