My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1340

Chapter 1340: Obstruction

Her directness left everyone present momentarily stunned, except for Ayan.

He seemed unsurprised, his expression particularly cold as he said, "There's a lot going on with the company. I have already informed Kian to convey the message to you."

After Ayan finished speaking, without waiting for Daisy's response, he turned to Kian and said, "Pull out a chair for Miss Daisy."

Kian immediately complied, then said, "Please have a seat, Miss Daisy."

At a large round table, Daisy's position was separated from Ayan by a considerable distance, enough for her nearsightedness to potentially hinder her view of his features.

As Daisy sat down, her gaze remained fixed on Ayan. However, what she saw was Ayan attentively attending to the woman beside him. The woman seemed accustomed to this behavior, showing no surprise or change in expression. With a clear complexion devoid of any makeup, her fair skin appeared exceptionally radiant under the lighting. Her features were impeccably sculpted, flawless in every aspect.

Was this Ayan's wife?

Such a thought emerged in Daisy's mind, accompanied by a mix of indescribable emotions.

The woman before her contradicted Daisy's initial imagination – she was not the kind of delicate woman who solely relied on men, nor the type who constantly catered to a man's needs.

Daisy struggled to comprehend the kind of person this woman truly was.

However, Daisy's contemplation was brief, as Ayan's voice resounded. He briefly introduced each person at the table to Daisy, emphasizing that their titles were not merely names or Ayan's friends but held significance from birth.

One was the President of Ward Group, another the General Manager of Burton Group, and the third a physician from a renowned medical family. Despite these apparent distant connections to Ayan, they were all present because of the Tillery Group's involvement.

Despite this revelation, Daisy did not completely grasp the situation, merely nodding and displaying a friendly smile, exchanging greetings with everyone.

Finally, Ayan introduced Camille. Gently grasping Camille's hand, he raised it within Daisy's sight and said, "This is my wife, Camille."

Camille responded with a polite yet distant smile, addressing Daisy, "Welcome to Hance City, Miss Daisy."

Camille proactively raised her glass towards Daisy, who made no move to reciprocate. Her expression soured slightly, prompting Camille to comment further, "Miss Daisy, have you visited Hance City before? We have many wonderful places to eat and explore. Since you are here, you should enjoy yourself to the fullest."

After delivering her message, Camille sipped her drink gracefully, her movements fluid and natural. Daisy had initially intended to embarrass Camille but found herself unable to act, resulting in a displeased expression.

Others at the table also noticed this tension, each well-versed in social dynamics and unspoken cues.

Tomas and Derek intervened, signaling the start of the meal. Despite their efforts to engage her, Daisy's mood remained sullen, leading to a night where she barely touched her food. It was only when Sienna spoke up, questioning, "Why aren't you eating, Miss Daisy? Is the cuisine not to your liking?"

Daisy's expression softened slightly, but before she could respond, Sienna continued, "I suppose the flavors of Hance City may not align with your preferences. Each person's taste and lifestyle habits differ. These are the unique characteristics of Hance City. Perhaps Mr. Simpson should arrange Western cuisine next time!"
