My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1465

Chapter 1465: Sneak

Ayan replied calmly, "I hope so."

Aria has never been in a relationship, and her brother Ayan knows the reasons behind it all these years.

Almost towards the end, Aria arrived late.

She was dressed in a lady's suit, looking particularly elegant. She was well aware of who she was meeting today. So, when she entered the private room, there was no surprise or shock but a calm composure as she greeted everyone.

Eventually, she looked at Ayan and Camille, called out to her sister-in-law, and then said, "Brother."

Ayan responded with a nonchalant acknowledgment, devoid of warmth or further words.

The atmosphere was somewhat quiet, with everyone's eyes on the siblings. Camille, noticing the tension, quickly spoke up, "Aria, please sit down. We were waiting for you. Your brother just complained to me about your tardiness from a young age. If you had been here earlier, we could have both scolded him together."

Camille lightened the mood with a joke, leading to laughter from everyone.

Aria's gaze remained fixed on Ayan, sensing his aloofness and distance, understanding why he felt this way.

Grateful for Camille's support, Aria exchanged glances with her before sitting down next to her. She did not sit next to Derek, trying to maintain some distance to avoid upsetting Ayan.

However, Camille suggested, "Aria, why not go sit with Derek? I want to discuss the design competition with Sienna."

Aria immediately understood Camille's intention, as did the others present. Sienna cooperatively swapped seats with Aria to sit next to Camille.

As Aria sat beside Derek, he held her hand in front of everyone. It was evident they had been in a relationship for a while, and Aria's response suggested that it was more than just casual dating.

Camille watched their intimacy but the man beside her remained silent. Camille then turned to Ayan beside her, "Cheer up a bit, or else Aria will feel pressured."

Ayan's expression remained serious, but as he faced Camille, he softened his gaze and spoke gently, "I am not unhappy."

"But you appear too serious right now. Can you be a bit gentler?" Camille tilted her head, looking at him expectantly.

After a brief pause, Ayan nodded faintly, agreeing to her request.

With that, Camille's worries eased. She rarely involved herself in the Simpson family matters, especially those pertaining to the siblings. Mishandling such issues could strain their relationship further. However, Camille had known Aria before her marriage to Ayan, having worked together in the same industry. Their interactions had always been pleasant.

There is often a sense of camaraderie between women, especially when one admires the other's excellence. Camille and Aria's relationship fell into the latter category.

Now that Camille was with Derek, she sincerely wished happiness for them.

As for Ayan's concerns, some things are bound to happen despite worrying, so it's best not to fret unnecessarily.

Ayan eventually remained quiet for the rest of the evening, maintaining a relatively calm and normal atmosphere.

Sienna, sitting with Camille, whispered, "Is Ayan worried that his sister will disappoint Derek?"

Camille smiled, "Probably. They are all interconnected, and with such close relationships, it could be awkward if things don't work out."

They stayed at the club until the early hours before leaving.

They returned in cars driven by their chauffeurs, departing in four groups.

Camille and Ayan, Sienna and Rex, Derek and Aria, and Tomas alone.

In the car on the way back, Camille and Ayan sat quietly in the back seat.

Camille wondered what was on Ayan's mind and asked, "Why are you so quiet?"

He gently replied, "What do you want me to say?"

Camille held his hand, her voice soft and concerned, "Are you still thinking about Aria and Derek?"

Ayan shook his head lightly and said, "No, that matter is in the past. Since they have sorted it out, why should I say more?"

Camille nodded, "Exactly, so you should be happy. They will be fine."

Ayan smiled and confessed, "It's not about them. I just haven't had a drink in a long time. Maybe it's the aftereffects of alcohol?"
