My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 838

Chapter 838: Accommodating

Without changing his expression, he responded to Sienna's words and walked up to Ayan, extending his hand for a handshake. He said, "Mr. Simpson, it wouldn't be right not to welcome you to Flento. I want to thank Mr. Simpson and Camille for taking care of Sienna in Hance City."

Ayan also raised his hand and shook it with Mario, his face calm and composed. His tone remained unaffected as he said, "No need to be so polite. Sienna is Cami's good friend, and naturally, she's my friend too. Friends don't need such formalities and politeness."

Though Ayan's words were merely courteous, they served to create distance between him and Mario. Implicitly, he was telling Mario that they didn't need his gratitude for taking care of Sienna. It had nothing to do with him; their connection was solely based on their relationship with Sienna, and they didn't require the thanks of outsiders.

Mario, being an intelligent person, naturally understood the meaning behind Ayan's words.

However, he continued to smile and didn't reveal any of his emotions. He continued, "That's true, but I still want to thank Mr. Simpson and Camille for taking care of Sienna. Sienna is from the King family, and that can't be changed. If Mr. Simpson and Camille don't mind, let's have lunch together tomorrow. I'll make the arrangements, consider it a welcoming dinner."

Camille looked at Sienna's expressionless face. She didn't originally intend to respond to Mario's words. Her relationship with Mario was relatively okay, without any conflicts or unpleasant experiences. It was only because of Sienna that their relationship naturally became distant.

Upon hearing his words, Camille smiled lightly and spoke, "Mario, did you forget? I'm also half a resident of Flento, so I'm quite familiar with it. There's no need for that. This time, I came to Flento City to accompany Sienna for a couple of days. There's no need for excessive politeness. Mario shouldn't mind it, right?"

Camille's face displayed a polite smile. She looked at Mario, waiting for his response. She was polite and courteous, showing no disrespect, but she gave off a sense of deliberately keeping her distance.

Mario spoke slowly, "Of course, I wouldn't mind. It's just that you've come all this way, and you could at least call me Mario, so why refuse me? Otherwise, after you leave, Sienna might give me a hard time and blame me for not hosting you properly."

Mario insisted on inviting Camille and Ayan to dinner, wanting to extend his hospitality. However, Camille and the others didn't want to have this meal with him.

He persisted, and no one could figure out what he was up to.

Then, he turned to Sienna and said, "Sienna, Camille is your best friend, and it's her first time bringing her husband along. We should treat them to a meal, don't you agree?"

Although Mario's words didn't sound unusual or threatening, they caused Sienna to pause briefly and then reluctantly nod her head.

After Sienna nodded, Mario revealed a satisfied smile and said, "That's settled then. We'll have lunch together tomorrow. I won't disturb you now as I have other guests to attend to. See you tomorrow afternoon."

After Mario left, the three of them also left the restaurant and got into the car.

However, the atmosphere was unusually quiet. Sienna had remained silent the whole time, her expression cold and indifferent. Her mood didn't seem very good.

Ayan glanced at Sienna out of the corner of his eye and then quietly spoke to Camille, "If you feel uncomfortable, we can leave Flento City tomorrow and smoothly decline the meal. But if we leave, will it cause any trouble for you?"

He was referring to whether Mario would give her a hard time because of it.

Sienna naturally understood and quickly said, "I'm not uncomfortable. I'm just worried that you might feel uneasy. So if you don't want to go, I'll call him later to explain. You should stick to your original plans. You shouldn't cancel your schedule ahead of time because of some insignificant person, right?"

Sienna didn't want Camille and Ayan to worry, so she maintained a smile on her face to assure them that everything was fine. However, Camille might not have been able to read the underlying meaning behind her smile, but Ayan had met countless people and couldn't possibly miss any subtle emotions.

He squinted his eyes, recalling the moment Sienna agreed to Mario's request after he mentioned it was Camille's first time bringing her husband to Flento City.

This made him wonder, is Sienna's agreement related to Camille and himself?

But he and Sienna didn't have a deep connection, so Sienna wouldn't do something for his sake. Therefore, the root of it all must lie with Camille.
