My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 880

Chapter 880: Delay

Sienna nodded, feeling slightly relieved.

Rex also gave Camille a grateful look, and the atmosphere returned to calm.

The three of them waited for Ayan for quite some time, but he still didn't show up. Camille decided to call his phone. It connected quickly, but after several rings, no one answered.

Camille thought he might be at the entrance and ignored the call, but even after waiting for a while, he didn't appear.

Her brows furrowed slightly, her expression showing a hint of concern. Ayan wasn't answering his phone.

She then dialed Kian's number directly.

Both Kian's and Ayan's phones rang, but no one answered.

Seeing this, Sienna suggested, "Let Rex try calling."

Rex immediately made the call, but received the same result-no answer from Ayan.

Ayan not picking up the phone made Camille worry.

They had just chatted at noon, and if something came up, he should have informed her in advance.

Rex said, "Maybe something urgent came up at work? Why don't we eat first and have the kitchen prepare his food for later?"

Camille nodded, and Rex got up to leave the lounge. Camille also picked up her phone and dialed another number.

The call was quickly answered.

She introduced herself and the purpose of the call, "Hello, I'm Camille. Is Mr. Simpson still at the company?"

She had directly dialed Ayan's assistant's office, and the person who answered was one of Ayan's assistants, someone Camille had met many times before.

The assistant was familiar with Camille and politely replied, "Madam, hello. Mr. Simpson and Kian left the company together. They should be on their way home now."

Camille furrowed her brows slightly and asked, "How long ago did they leave?"

"It's been about forty minutes."

"Alright, thank you."

After ending the call with Ayan's assistant, Camille's expression remained serious. She had a feeling of unease because Ayan wouldn't usually not answer his phone, unless something held him up.

He would at least send a text if he couldn't talk.

Camille remained silent for a long time, lost in her thoughts, without any response. Sienna returned to the lounge and saw Camille sitting on the couch staring at her phone in a daze. She asked, "Cami, Mr. Simpson still hasn't answered the phone?"

"Yeah, I wonder if something happened," Camille asked calmly.

Sienna quickly reassured her, "Don't worry, I'll ask Rex to find out."

Camille murmured softly, and her phone rang at that moment. It was Kian calling, and she quickly told Sienna that she didn't need to bother Rex and answered the call.

"Hello, Kian?"

"Mrs. Simpson, it's me."

"Where are you guys? Why isn't he answering his phone?"

"Mrs. Simpson, Mr. Simpson is dealing with some business, so he can't answer the phone right now. He asked me to tell you that he won't be able to have dinner with you. You can go back to Maple Leaves Mansion after dinner and he'll come straight home after finishing up."

Kian's tone didn't reveal any strange emotions, which gradually eased Camille's worries and uneasiness.

Still, she asked, "What... is he dealing with? Why can't he personally call me even once?"

"It's related to the company, so I can't say much. If you're curious, you can ask Mr. Simpson about it when he's done."

"Okay, I understand," Camille replied calmly.

Since Ayan was fine, she didn't continue to press for answers and ended the call with Kian.
