"I woke up earlier than you and went to wake up Ayan," Camille responded without hesitation.
Sienna, of course, didn't believe her. "You keep making things up. Let's see if you can come up with something believable."
Sienna let out a light snort and looked at Camille with an indifferent gaze. Camille could only tell the truth in the end and shook her head. "I didn't want you to feel guilty, but since you insisted on knowing the truth, should you be condemning yourself now?"
Sienna cleared her throat and took the initiative to link arms with Camille, smiling faintly. "Do we still need to discuss this? Of course, I know it's because of me. I was just testing if you'd tell the truth or not. Anyway, let's move on from this. Where do you want to go today?"
Sienna smoothly changed the subject, and Camille saw through her little scheme. But she didn't expose her and simply went along with it, responding to Sienna's words.
The three of them had breakfast at the hotel restaurant and planned to explore and have fun around Flento City today. It was the city where Camille had lived for many years, and even though her grandmother was no longer there, the memories she left behind in Flento City were irreplaceable.
After breakfast, they set off. Camille wanted to visit her old house, the one that the Armstrong family had planned to sell but was fortunate enough to keep because of Ayan.
As they walked, Camille kept sharing stories and reminiscing about the past with Ayan. The memories flooded her mind, bringing a hint of redness to her eyes and an indescribable heaviness in her emotions.
Ayan and Sienna noticed the change in her mood. Ayan held her hand tightly and spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, "Your grandmother must have seen you return. If she sees you feeling sad, she'll be heartbroken too. So, let's try to be happy, okay?"
Camille nodded and said, "I am happy. I just feel regretful towards my grandmother because we still haven't found out who... you know..."
Mentioning this, Ayan fell silent. This matter had caused misunderstandings between them, and despite his repeated assurances, there was no tangible evidence to dispel Camille's doubts. He didn't have the confidence to probe into what Camille truly thought.
His silence made the atmosphere even more somber.
Sensing the underlying tension between the two, Sienna immediately spoke up. "Alright, the truth is never late to arrive, and there are no secrets that can remain hidden forever. Your grandmother's spirit will guide you, but for now, you two are in my territory, and I need to ensure that you have a pleasant time. So, let's move on to the next destination!"
Sienna's effort to lighten the mood gradually brought things back to normal. They drove together to a nearby rose garden.
The rose garden featured over a hundred varieties of roses and had become a popular spot in Flento City for taking photos and posting on social media.
There were many people visiting, not just to see the roses but also to enjoy various entertainment activities. The three of them tried almost every attraction, and by the time they finished, it was already afternoon. Both girls were exhausted and could barely walk, and even the physically fit Ayan was a bit tired.
Since they had only grabbed a casual lunch at the garden, they planned to have a proper dinner in the evening.
Sienna took the lead in hosting tonight's dinner. She had made a reservation at a high-end restaurant famous for its cuisine in Flento City.
Thanks to her connections with the King Group, she managed to secure a private room without needing to wait in line like ordinary people.
