Camille asked, "I just want to know, as a man, what do you think of Horace?"
Ayan lowered his gaze, meeting Camille's eyes with a tender look as he seriously considered her question before responding, "If you're asking about his character from a professional standpoint, I think he's okay. But as just a man, I don't know much about him, so I can't give you a definitive answer."
He didn't stop there, though. Ayan followed up, "What are you worried about? Is it about Horace possibly hurting Grace?"
Ayan hit the nail on the head, revealing Camille's concerns.
Camille didn't deny it; she openly admitted that was what she was worried about.
She said, "Grace and I aren't incredibly close as sisters, but no matter what, we are still sisters. So, I don't want her to get hurt."
Ayan reached up and gently fixed the stray strands of hair on her cheek, his voice carrying a hint of a smile, "So, what do you want me to do?"
"Help me investigate Horace?" she said without hesitation, stating her thoughts and intentions plainly. She then stared at Ayan, as if she wouldn't relent until he gave her a satisfying answer.
Ayan couldn't help but chuckle at her persistence. He said, "Alright, but I have a request."
"What request?"
"I'm helping you out. Don't you think I deserve a reward?"
Camille furrowed her brows, observing his playful demeanor. She decided not to continue the conversation.
Her silence brought a wide grin to Ayan's face. He added, "I'll take your silence as a yes."
At that moment, the elevator doors opened, and Ayan took Camille's hand, leading her out and heading home.
Sienna had returned, and Camille's life returned to its usual rhythm. Sienna's restaurant business was booming, keeping her busy every day. So, after work, Camille would go there to help out and have dinner before heading home.
Camille's life became more fulfilling, while Ayan's days became monotonous since he couldn't spend all the time with his wife after work.
This routine continued for several days. Ayan had protested, but Camille had rejected his complaints every time. Eventually, he would her him to the restaurant.
One evening, Camille arrived at the restaurant before Ayan did. Sienna informed her that they had prepared new dishes for the night and wanted her to taste the flavors. She also invited Rex, asking him to join Ayan for a drink.
But Camille refused, "He has a weak stomach, so he shouldn't drink."
"Tsk! You really care about Mr. Simpson, huh? Your relationship with him makes me suspect if you guys are already secretly remarried," Sienna teased.
Camille's eyes instantly dimmed, and she shook her head, looking down at the ground absentmindedly.
Sienna immediately sensed Camille's worry and couldn't help but think if Camille had found out something.
Quickly, Sienna asked, "What's wrong?"
Camille revealed her thoughts to Sienna, saying, "I feel like he doesn't want to remarry. We've been getting along well recently, but there seems to be something he's hiding. I'm bothered by his attitude, and maybe he hopes that I won't clash with him over remarriage."
Sienna firmly rejected Camille's thoughts, saying, "That's not possible."
"What's impossible?"
