My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 870

Chapter 870: Tumbling

In the evening, Camille returned to Maple Leaves Mansion after having dinner with her colleagues from the museum project.

It was already 7:30 pm.

When she entered the house, it was pitch-black with no light in sight. Ayan hadn't returned yet.

Camille didn't think much about it and simply turned on the lights. Everything inside was just as it was before she left yesterday, indicating that Ayan hadn't been back.

She checked the time. Ayan would usually be back by this time, but he was nowhere to be seen today.

Without asking or dwelling on it, Camille drank a glass of water and rested for a while before heading to take a shower and wash her hair.

Unbeknownst to Camille, Ayan had actually returned earlier than her. But he didn't come back home until seeing Camille enter the building.

After all, Jenson worked for him, and he naturally knew every move Camille made.

After Camille went to take a shower, Ayan remained seated on the sofa in the living room.

At that moment, Camille's phone, which was left on the coffee table, started ringing.

Ayan casually picked up the phone and glanced at it. It was Jordan calling.

With a slight squint, Ayan hesitated for a moment before answering the call. Jordan's voice came from the other end, "Miss Armstrong, good evening. Have you had dinner?"

"It's me, Ayan. Camille is taking a shower. Do you need anything from her?" Ayan's expression remained emotionless, and his voice was cold, devoid of any warmth.

After hearing Ayan's voice, Jordan fell silent for a couple of seconds before speaking again, "Oh, Mr. Simpson, there's nothing urgent. I just arranged to have dinner with Miss Armstrong after she returns from Dane to Hance. Please let her know."

Jordan's tone and attitude remained mild, and his words were simply expressing the purpose of the call without any other intentions.

Although Ayan understood this, he still felt dissatisfied.

His face remained calm, but his expression was cold as he had no desire for Camille to have too much contact with other men, especially considering the mess behind the Bailey family. He didn't want Camille to be involved and certainly didn't want them targeting her because of her relationship with Jordan.

After hesitating for a moment, Ayan decided to speak up.

He said, "Jordan, Camille might not know what kind of people the Bailey family is, but we both do. If you truly consider her a friend and are grateful for her unintentional help to your mother, it would be best to minimize your contact with her. Although I can protect her, you know better than I do how the Bailey family are like. If they find out that Camille is close to you, they might do something. You should know, right?"

Ayan's candid words made Jordan slightly taken aback, and he immediately understood the meaning behind them. Ayan didn't want innocent people, especially Camille, to be affected by his problems. This had happened to him many times before, and he couldn't let it happen again.

Jordan responded, "Ayan, I understand what you mean. You're right, and I appreciate your concern. I'll be mindful of my interactions with Camille. If that's the case, there's no need to tell her about this call."

"Good," Ayan acknowledged.

Jordan then said, "Alright, if there's nothing else, should I hang up now?"

"Yeah," Ayan replied.

Jordan hung up the phone, and Ayan deleted the call log, not wanting Camille to know about it.

Meanwhile, Jordan stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room for a long time without moving. Mrs. Bailey saw him standing there without reacting and couldn't help but ask, "Jordan, what are you doing there?"
