Sienna leaned against Camille's shoulder, repeatedly cursing Mario under her breath. "He's really a piece of work. When I wanted to start a relationship with him before, he told me it wasn't possible. And now that I've accepted reality and realized that it truly isn't possible between us, he comes back to provoke me. Not only does he provoke me, but he also tries to morally manipulate me. What a bad man! He only knows how to threaten and force me, thinking I'll just comply? Not a chance!"
Sienna was visibly displeased, her face full of resentment. She had been in Flento City for a long time now, so long that she was starting to forget what Hance City was like.
This forgetfulness made her feel extremely uneasy and insecure.
Every word she spoke expressed her dissatisfaction and anger towards Mario. Camille listened quietly and chimed in, "Exactly! He's not worth it. Why should you be treated this way? I think he's just unhappy with his own life and doesn't want to see you doing well. Selfish and self-centered."
"He's just jealous and envious of me, but I won't bend to his will. Even if he forces me to the brink, I won't agree. I'd rather be single forever than give in to him."
The passionate conversation between the two made Ayan rub his temples. Dealing with one drunk person was manageable, but now both of them were intoxicated, and he was starting to get a headache.
He still held his phone, the camera focused on Sienna. He glanced at the man on the screen, his expression calm and gentle. He calmly asked, "What do you plan to do?"
The man's expression didn't look too good either, and his voice sounded indifferent as he replied, "What can I do?"
He seemed to be asking Ayan, but in reality, he was questioning himself.
His response was as good as no response, causing Ayan to snort lightly with a cold and mocking tone, "If you really do nothing, Mario won't be like this. Given enough time, are you sure she can truly prevent herself loving someone else?"
Ayan didn't believe in long-distance relationships or the ability to remain unchanged when separated by other circumstances. That's why he preferred to keep Camille close, even if it meant forcing her not to take Timmy away. Especially after confirming his own feelings, he shamelessly found various excuses to interact and meet with Camille, because he was afraid that given enough time, Camille would truly forget about him.
He could trust his own heart, but he didn't have the assurance that the other person's heart would remain unchanged.
So now he voiced the questions he used to have in his heart to Rex, word for word.
He told Rex, "If you think you can bear this risk, then let things take its course naturally and continue as usual. But if you can't handle it, I suggest you start planning early. Mario has no intention of letting her go; it's obvious he's prepared for a long battle. Do you think, given enough time, you have any chance of winning against him?"
Ayan didn't speak directly, afraid that Rex couldn't handle it.
In fact, what he wanted to say was that the reason Mario hadn't done anything outrageous yet was that he was preparing for a protracted battle with Sienna. Once Mario sensed danger, who knows what he would do. After all, Sienna was right in front of him, and it would be easy for him to do whatever he wanted.
However, Ayan didn't say those words, but Rex probably understood them anyway.
After all, these were all facts laid out in the open, and it would be hard for Rex not to know even if he pretended otherwise.
Rex remained silent for a long time without any response. His gaze was fixed on the woman in the camera, and his eyes revealed a struggle and hesitation. In a low and hoarse voice, he finally spoke, "Ayan, after you're done with your affairs, do me a favor."
Ayan glanced at him with lowered eyes and replied in a cool tone, "Hmm."
With just one syllable, there was no need for any promises or explanations.
They understood each other's thoughts.
Then Rex continued, "Take her back to the apartment for me, or directly to the hotel where you're staying."
"Hmm."
"Thank you."
"No need."
