My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1556

Chapter 1556: The Gift

Camille raised an eyebrow, and Jordan pointed to the coffee table, then asked hesitantly, "How did you know it's my birthday today?"

After saying that, he snapped back to reality and smiled. Camille didn't say much about his smile and simply replied, "Mrs. Bailey also cares about you."

Jordan nodded; he was well aware of that fact.

The two sat on the sofa around the coffee table, unsure of what to say in their solitude.

The atmosphere briefly settled into silence, and their gazes met, both of them smiling without any prior arrangement.

Jordan said, "Let's have some cake!!!"

Camille replied, "Sure, sounds good."

Jordan opened the cake box and asked Camille, "Do you want candles?"

Camille responded, "Of course! It's a birthday celebration, so candles are a must."

Having said that, Camille began placing the candles on the cake. She also had a lighter, so she lit them directly. She looked at Jordan and said, "Make a wish!!!"

Jordan replied, "I don't have any wishes left. I've achieved everything I wanted."

Camille insisted, "How can you not have a wish? Make one, like how much money you want to earn this year or the car, house, or anything else you desire."

After Camille's casual remark, Jordan changed his mind and said, "You're right. I should make a wish."

Jordan clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and started making a wish, but he couldn't voice the desire in his heart.

He remained silent, glanced at Camille, blew out the candles, and silently wondered if she would still be sitting here with him on his birthday if she knew that his wish was related to her.

Seeing this, Camille quickly handed him a knife and fork and removed the candles from the cake.

She said, "You can cut the cake now."

Jordan took the knife and fork and sliced the first piece of cake. He passed it to Camille, but she shook her head and didn't reach out her hand. She said, "The first piece is for the birthday boy. I wish you health and happiness!!!"

A simple blessing that countless people long for.

Jordan thanked her and placed the first piece of cake in front of himself before cutting another piece and handing it to Camille.

He said, "Thank you for celebrating my birthday with me. I'm very happy."

Camille replied, "You're welcome. The only regret is that I can't have dinner with you tonight because I already made plans with friends."

Jordan said, "That's alright. It already makes me happy that you can have cake with me. But can I treat you to a meal? As a thank you for celebrating my birthday with me. There's no rush, we can eat whenever you're done with everything, okay?"

Jordan sincerely looked at Camille as he made the request, leaving the decision entirely up to her. He wouldn't pressure her, nor would he decide on a dinner time and expect Camille to accommodate him.

Camille thought about his request seriously. She hadn't decided how many more days she would stay here. She had dinner with Sophia and others tonight, and tomorrow she would handle the handover of work. Tomorrow evening was free for her.

Camille said, "Tomorrow evening works. I'll have time after finishing my work."
