My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 831

Chapter 831: Alone

The interlude between Camille and Preston came to an end as she entered the meeting room. Since Camille would be taking a break starting tomorrow, she informed the other architects in advance and then messaged Jenson to request her time off.

Jenson undoubtedly approved her request, but the other architects were somewhat surprised and asked, "Miss Armstrong, why are you suddenly taking a break? Is something wrong?"

Camille smiled and replied, "Nothing is wrong. Don't worry. I simply feel that I've been working too much lately and want to take a good rest. Besides, I have a friend in another city, and I can visit her for a couple of days."

"Enjoy your trip. You must be going with Mr. Simpson, right?"

Camille remained silent and simply smiled, looking kindly at everyone. Her reaction naturally confirmed their assumptions.

The group smiled back and wished Camille a great time with Ayan. Some even sighed, wondering when they would find a considerate man like Ayan. Of course, they didn't expect to match his wealth and status, but someone who treated his wife well apart from appearances would be close enough.

In the current society, it felt like there were too many traps, and most girls were hesitant to fall in love.

So, except for Camille, the architects were all single. Summer sighed and said, "I'm going to work hard now and save money. When I'm older and my family starts pressuring me to get married, I'll find a younger man. Younger men are so refreshing, obedient, and they know how to make me happy."

The others agreed with Summer's statement because most men their age were either married or had girlfriends. Otherwise, they would look for slightly younger girlfriends, or there were the dislikeable men.

While discussing this topic, it was inevitable to ask Camille about Ayan.

As Ayan was far away from them, although Camille was his wife, she was friendly and approachable, so everyone didn't feel much distance. Especially after getting to know Camille and finding her gentle and easy to talk to, they became bolder.

Sophie asked softly, "Miss Armstrong, how did you meet Mr. Simpson? He seems very attached to you, picking you up to and from work. Does he behave the same way in private?"

This was the first time someone besides Sienna inquired about Camille and Ayan's relationship and how they got along with each other.

It felt like friends casually chatting about their boyfriends and husbands when they had nothing better to do.

Camille didn't reject the question and, after all, it was Ayan. So, she had no intention of refusing to answer. She smiled lightly, glanced at them warmly, and said, "We have an arranged marriage. You might have heard something about it, right? In fact, I knew him even before our marriage, but he still doesn't know, and I don't plan to tell him. So, please keep it a secret!"

The group immediately became curious and eager for gossip, hastily raising their hands to promise, "Don't worry, we won't say anything. We're on your side."

After all, they might not have a chance in their lifetime to meet Ayan alone and have a conversation.

Their reaction made Camille unable to resist laughing. She continued, "Thank you!"

Summer continued with another question, "Miss Armstrong, since you knew Mr. Simpson earlier, were you secretly in love with him?"

Camille furrowed her brows slightly, carefully considering how to answer. As a result, she remained briefly silent.

Her expression made everyone think she was unable to answer, so Summer quickly added, "Miss Armstrong, if you find it inconvenient, you don't have to tell us."
