She lied about not worrying about her family at home. Although she wanted to escape the oppressive environment, she still cared about her parents deeply.
Ayan said, "No, it's her who wants to care about you."
Grace finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. "Of course, that's good. I'll contact her using my own phone. This number belongs to Horace's sister, so it's reliable."
Ayan nodded in agreement and gave Grace the separate space outside before heading inside.
Grace dialed Camille's number. They had always stayed in touch, albeit through messaging apps, due to their different time zones. Although they maintained contact, it was not frequent. They only knew about each other's recent updates.
Especially Grace, she had a habit of telling Camille everything that had happened to her in great detail. She didn't necessarily need a response from Camille; she just wanted to let her know what she had been up to recently.
The call connected quickly because it was already afternoon on Camille's side, although Grace hadn't even had lunch yet.
As soon as the call connected, Grace took the initiative to speak, "Cami, it's me."
Camille recognized her voice and said, somewhat surprised, "Did Ayan ask you to call?"
Camille laughed.
Grace confirmed and then brought up her situation with Horace. She naturally mentioned how Horace asked her if she would come back to the country, and she truthfully told Camille that she refused.
Camille was taken aback by Grace's words and asked, "You don't want to come back?"
Camille was worried that Grace didn't want to return because of the Armstrong family, so without waiting for Grace to speak, she said, "If you're worried about the Armstrong family, you don't have to come back to Hance City. You can stay in Flento City and do what you love. That way, you can meet Horace anytime. Otherwise, this long-distance relationship of yours will be quite time-consuming!"
Grace's nose tingled, and she pursed her lips. "Cami, thank you for thinking about me. Don't worry, I won't stay here for anyone else's sake. I simply want to stay and accomplish what I want to do. Once I'm done, I will go back."
"Not because of anyone or anything?"
"No, of course not!"
"That's good. As long as it's for yourself, follow your heart and make your decisions according to your own instincts!"
