My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1468

Chapter 1468: Concerns

Neither of them had any intention of speaking, and even Aunt couldn't hold back any longer, speaking directly and straightforwardly: "It's like this, Camille, Grace, let me just say it directly. You see, your mother didn't have a son before she passed away. Although daughters are great, a family still needs a son to carry on the family name. So, we discussed and decided to have your cousin and nephew adopted by your father, so they will be part of the Armstrong family in the future. This way, our three families can grow closer."

Camille had already had some suspicions, but hearing their words now confirmed her thoughts.

Surely shameless people are unparalleled in the world.

Camille narrowed her eyes and a faint smile appeared on her lips, a smile that made people feel uneasy.

Grace also had a serious expression, seemingly not expecting them to make such a decision.

Grace swallowed and asked incredulously, "Aunt, I don't understand what you mean?"

"Aren't my words clear enough?" Aunt looked at Grace, then at the silent Camille, and said, "Let me say it again. We want to give the Armstrong family an heir. Both of you are girls, and will eventually be married off, so a family still needs a male heir. We can't let the Armstrong family disappear like this, can we? We're also doing this for the future of the Armstrong family, so you'll have a family to rely on when you need it."

"Yes, your aunt's words reflect our intentions. Do you have any objections? If not, then it's settled. Your mother was very fond of both your cousins, so she would have agreed to this. Your cousin will be your real brother, and you can go to him for anything without hesitation."

This was said by the younger aunt, and the two uncles naturally nodded along, having already agreed on this beforehand.

Camille narrowed her eyes and looked at all of them. Ten or so people, including the two uncles' daughter, were sitting at the table, making it seem quite lively. But the atmosphere now was very quiet, especially with the two cousins not saying a word all night, their expressions also quite indifferent. It was clear that they didn't quite agree, but they did not have the right to speak.

Camille looked at them and then spoke slowly.

She asked, "Uncles, you mean you want the cousins to be adopted into the Armstrong family, right?"

"Yes, that's what we mean."

"If it's adoption, then wouldn't just one be enough? Why two?" Camille asked.

Grace wanted to stop Camille, not wanting her to agree to this, but Camille gently patted her hand under the table, unnoticed by anyone.

Grace received Camille's signal and remained silent, wanting to see what Camille would say.

The uncles and aunt heard Camille's question and immediately thought that there was hope. So, they hurriedly explained, "It's like this, Camille. Our idea is to have both cousins adopted into the Armstrong family to make it easier to manage the family's business. This will make things easier in the future, and with two brothers in the Armstrong Corp, you can rely on them. We'll all be one big happy family, and get along better."

Perhaps worried that Camille would refuse, the uncles and aunt were very enthusiastic, even eager to press Camille's head to get her to agree. But the chances of this happening were very slim, especially with the bodyguards present.

Faced with this response, Camille remained silent, just looking at the people in front of her with a cold expression.

She still didn't speak, but the uncles and aunt didn't seem to care; it was as if they assumed she had agreed.

Grace was getting anxious and a little excited. She wanted to say, "I don't agree. The Armstrong family doesn't need to do this."

The uncles and aunt's expressions immediately darkened, and the two cousins also looked at her with delight. "Why don't you agree?"

"I am part of the Armstrong family. My parents have had so many things happen, and now it's up to me and Camille to make decisions for the Armstrong family," Grace said.

"Grace, that's not right. We are older as uncles, and you have to listen to us. We are doing this for your own good!" the uncles retorted, not wanting Grace to continue speaking, and instead, they looked directly at Camille. "Camille, what do you think? Do you agree with us?"
