Apart from that, Camille didn't want to discuss her relationship with Ayan, as she disliked others gossiping about them.
So, when Preston started accusing Ayan word by word, her reaction became so intense and agitated.
After she shouted to stop him, there was a brief pause in Preston's voice for almost half a minute.
During this time, Camille remained silent.
They both kept quiet until Preston composed himself and spoke again, saying, "Cami, I didn't mean to offend you. I'm just worried about you, and I didn't intend to badmouth Ayan. I only want to protect you from any harm."
Camille didn't reply, as she didn't want to continue the topic.
Preston didn't press on either; instead, he asked, "Actually, I don't have any specific plans. I'm in Flento right now. Do you want me to visit your Grandma?"
In a short while, it would be Flento City's annual Tomb Sweeping Day. Unlike other places, Flento City had its own customs and didn't follow specific dates for tomb sweeping.
Preston remembered this and asked casually.
However, Camille declined, saying, "No need, I'll visit Grandma when the time comes."
"I thought it might be troublesome for you to come back and forth. I'm here, so I could help you with that."
"Thank you for your kindness, but I can handle it on my own. You don't need to trouble yourself."
Camille politely declined, but she didn't want Preston's help.
Sometimes, once a relationship fades, it's hard to restore it.
Preston seemed displeased with Camille's attitude and said, "Cami, I don't mean anything else. I just want to help you. After all, aren't we friends? Friends help each other without hesitation. Why do you have to be so formal with me? Is it because you have a better relationship with Ayan now, and we can't be friends anymore?"
"Cami, I'm going to be a father soon. Can't you trust me even with this?" Preston brought up Molly's pregnancy and asked Camille how he could make her feel better, as Molly had been acting irrationally and throwing tantrums, thanks to being spoiled by the Walker family.
He sounded helpless and unsure. In the past, Camille would have comforted him or tried to help him understand Molly, but now she didn't want to say anything.
She remained indifferent.
Preston sighed lightly and asked, "Cami, were you also moody during your pregnancy? What should I do to make her feel a bit happier?"
Camille calmly replied, "It's been a long time, and I don't remember well. You can ask the doctor; they'll give you the most objective advice."
After her response, Preston's face became stiff and cold. He narrowed his eyes and spoke in a low voice, "Cami, it seems like no matter what I say, you won't talk to me properly."
"Preston, I don't know what you mean by talking properly. Am I not speaking properly now?"
"Cami, I don't know what's wrong with you. I don't know if you have misunderstood me, but I just want to tell you that I have no other intentions. I never wanted to hurt you, and my feelings for you remain unchanged."
Preston didn't continue the conversation and ended the call on his own, fearing that if they continued talking, Camille wouldn't even answer his calls next time.
After talking to Camille, the only thing Preston could be sure of was that Ayan was not with her. Otherwise, Camille wouldn't have had such a long conversation with him. If Ayan knew that it was Preston who called, he would have definitely tried to stop Camille from talking to him.
