My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 816

Chapter 816: Friendliness

The friend request came from the museum project group.

It was from Preston.

Camille didn't click accept immediately. He seemed to anticipate her response and sent the request again.

Camille finally accepted. She had blocked Preston once before and even deleted his contact. They had only communicated through calls or text messages. So why did Preston proactively add her? Did he have something to tell her?

Just after accepting his request, Preston's message immediately arrived.

Preston asked, "Cami, the museum project will officially resume tomorrow. I'm sorry for the trouble caused to you and Mr. Simpson. I didn't know how to approach you until now, and I wasn't sure if I could earn your forgiveness."

Camille didn't immediately reply upon reading Preston's message. She stared at her phone in silence.

Aria came out of the restroom and saw Camille lost in thought. She asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Camille shook her head and didn't tell Aria anything. She simply remained silent, gripping her phone tighter subconsciously.

As for Preston's message, she naturally didn't respond.

Her feelings toward Preston had always been conflicting. He had indeed helped her many times and provided assistance and company when she felt most helpless and didn't know what to do. The company had also thrived with Preston's support.

So sometimes, she couldn't help but ask herself, how did they end up like this?

Camille let out a silent sigh and her lips curved into a helpless smile.

And what did Preston mean by asking for her forgiveness? Did he know from the beginning what Austin intended to do to her and didn't tell her?

If that were the case, Camille probably wouldn't forgive him.

If it had nothing to do with him, then why would he say such a thing?

Camille pursed her lips slightly and didn't dwell on it further. She put down her phone and didn't check if Preston had sent any more messages.

Since Aria was here, Camille personally cooked dinner for her. Ayan returned from the company just in time for dinner.

The three of them raised their glasses and toasted. Aria couldn't stop praising Camille, making Ayan slightly jealous. Ayan said to Camille casually, "You should keep your distance from her. Why do I feel like she's eyeing my wife?"

Camille couldn't help but laugh, "Who is your wife?"

"Don't you have an answer?"

"I have no idea."

"Really? Aria is right here. Can't you do me a favour?" Ayan smirked, a hint of grievance in his eyes, a sight that made people feel sorry for him.

Aria chimed in, "Sister-in-law, just give my brother a chance! He only has you in his heart. Besides, he belongs to you now. If you don't want him, we, the Simpson family, won't take him back either. Anyway, it's up to you!"

Camille chuckled, "So you're shifting the responsibility onto me?"

"Well, yeah, I'm pushing it on you. So, are you taking over?"

"Let's see how he behaves himself. Since you all don't want him anymore, I feel kind of sorry for him. But he has to prove himself before I give him a chance!"

Aria clapped her hands with a smile, then shot a meaningful look at Ayan. "Brother, did you hear what sister-in-law said? You need to behave well. Whether you can enter through this door depends on your abilities."

"Alright, I understand that I am unable to go back to the Simpson family now, and here I am still an outsider. So, am I the most pitiful one?" Ayan willingly served the two girls, preparing their meals and soup even though they were dining at home. Despite being indoors, he took good care of the two girls.

The three of them engaged in an open and honest conversation, without any concealment, freely discussing various topics.

After dinner, it was already dark outside.

Naturally, Aria couldn't stay for long. After drinking some tea, she bid farewell.
