My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 883

Chapter 883: Staying Up Late

After Ayan finished speaking, Camille instantly understood.

Although Cora wasn't a stunning beauty like a celestial being, she had a mature and elegant aura. However, her actions and deeds had transformed her into a malicious and sinister person. Despite her young age and being Austin's wife, how could she allow herself to approach a man in his fifties?

Judging from Ayan's reaction, the man who did the food procurement at the psychiatric hospital was probably not just looking for a wife; he was likely attracted to Cora's youthful looks and figure.

Both of them had their own purposes, and that's why they quickly got along.

Camille looked at Ayan and asked, "After Cora came out, did she contact that man?"

Ayan shook his head, saying, "No, the reason she came back so late was that I kept an eye on the person who did the procurement and asked him to contact Cora. But Cora didn't leave anything behind, and since the location was in the outskirts, there aren't many surveillance cameras around, making it difficult to track her."

Camille nodded lightly but could see that Ayan's expression seemed troubled.

Camille asked in a low voice, "Are you... really determined to find Cora?"

He met Camille's gaze, not avoiding her eyes, and nodded, "Yes, I must find her."

"Mmm," Camille pressed her lips together, hesitated for a while, and couldn't help asking, "Are you looking for her only because you're worried she might harm our family, or is there something else?"

"I'm worried she might harm our family because she has serious mental issues. If I don't control the situation, it could be disastrous. Besides, with the situation at Austin's end, it's not a good thing for Cora to escape from me right now."

Ayan's eyes flickered with something unsaid, but he chose not to tell Camille what he was hiding in his heart.

The only thing he could assure was that he had no other intentions regarding Cora.

He kept this matter from Camille not because it was related to him and Cora, but it had nothing to do with Cora.

Thinking about that matter, Ayan's brow furrowed even more, and his expression grew more serious.

Camille didn't press him further and simply said, "It's getting late. Go wash up and rest."

Ayan lowered his gaze. "Mm, you go ahead and sleep. I'll take a shower."

He reached out and touched Camille's cheek before getting up and walking towards the bathroom.

Camille watched his retreating figure, and it took her a while to ease the slight frown on her brow. However, the emotions in her heart remained unresolved.

She had a feeling that there was something Ayan wasn't telling her about Cora's sudden disappearance. She couldn't believe that Cora was truly that important. If she was so important, why would Ayan lock her up in a psychiatric hospital in the suburbs? He could have simply sent someone to keep an eye on her after sending her abroad, which would have been a safer and more secure option.

Since Cora was being punished by being confined in the hospital, she couldn't be that important. But if she wasn't important, why did Ayan waste so much time dealing with her? A man like Ayan, who wouldn't even compromise on billion-dollar deals, wouldn't be so busy if she wasn't important to him.

So, what was really hidden behind all this?

Camille turned around, her expression complicated, but she closed her eyes before Ayan came out.

If Ayan didn't want to tell her, she would pretend not to know.

They had stayed up late that night, so they both woke up late the next day.
