My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1387

Chapter 1387: Trouble

"I think so, but the final decision is up to you. If you can't bear it, then let her rest in peace."

"Cami, I feel so overwhelmed. I just need some time to think."

"Of course, you have about an hour on the way to figure things out. If you're unsure, you can ask Horace for advice, but remember to follow your heart and don't pressure yourself too much, okay?"

Camille comforted in a hushed tone, and Grace nodded in agreement.

Both of them went downstairs, and by now, everyone in the Armstrong's villa knew the news. Some cried out of obligation, and chaos ensued.

Eventually, under police escort, everyone boarded the cars and headed to the funeral parlor.

Page's family and Brody rode in a van, with Kian accompanying them. Before boarding, Ayan instructed, "No one is allowed to answer any calls, and we need to monitor their phones for any unauthorized contacts."

For safety measures, Ayan had someone control their phones; it was the only way to ensure complete security.

Camille and Ayan rode in one car, while Horace and Grace in another.

Each car had a driver.

They didn't ride together to give Grace and Horace a chance to talk privately, as Grace was still unsure of what to do.

Camille didn't want to interfere too much with Grace's thoughts and decisions, so she let her be with Horace to think clearly and find peace.

From the moment Grace got into the car, her mood was somber. Horace gently held her hand and softly asked, "Don't hold back. Let it out. What's on your mind?"

Grace didn't respond, and Horace continued, "Keeping this from you was only to spare you the pain of being alone on this journey. I worried about you, and I didn't know how to break this news to you."

Grace nodded slightly, understanding. She didn't blame Horace or Camille.

The long journey back felt daunting. If she had known about this while on the return flight, she couldn't fathom how she would cope.

This guilt weighed heavily on her; she didn't even get to see Page one last time.

Their relationship was already strained before she left, and seeing video footage of a fight between two people further damaged it. So, why go on this trip together?

The more Grace thought about it, the more distressed she felt. Finally, she couldn't hold back her words, "Horace, I don't know if my mom's situation is connected to my dad. What should I do?"

Horace's expression grew serious upon hearing her hoarse voice. He held her hand tightly and said gently, "Did Camille suggest that you decide whether to involve the authorities?"

Grace nodded, her face still grave and uneasy.

Horace asked, "What are you thinking? Are you afraid that involving the authorities might implicate your father, or is it something else that worries you?"

"I don't know. I just feel so lost. How did things come to this?" Grace's face was devoid of emotion, her eyes empty.
