Camille said calmly, "I'm not angry."
"Still saying you're not?" Ayan smiled helplessly. "Look at your face, have you given me a good look since last night till now? Even though you say you're not angry, I know you are because I came home late."
Ayan reached out and pulled her back into his arms, comforting her softly. Camille let him do as he pleased.
If he wanted to comfort her, then let him.
Ayan didn't go to the company in the morning. Instead, they had something light to eat at home and then went to Sienna's restaurant at around eleven.
It was still early, and there weren't many customers in the restaurant.
Sienna took Camille to the kitchen to watch the chefs cook while Ayan stayed at a table and chatted with Rex.
After the two women disappeared, Rex looked at Ayan and asked, "Where did you go last night? Why didn't you answer your phone? You didn't do anything shady out there, did you? Ayan, don't drag me into trouble. I just got married, and if you get a bad reputation, Sienna might say we are birds of a feather. She might blacklist me."
Rex was extremely anxious. He and Ayan were in the same boat now, and if Ayan messed up, he would be dragged into it as well.
Ayan lifted the teacup in front of him, gave Rex a cold glance, as if looking at a fool. After taking a sip of tea, he casually said, "If Sienna wants to blacklist you, that's your problem. Don't try to blame your issues on me."
"I'm sure it won't be a problem. After all, we just got married, and it's not as long as you've been married, so there will definitely be more conflicts. So, you should be careful not to make Camille angry."
Rex wished he could tell everyone that he was married to Sienna. His attitude was so smug that it bordered on arrogance.
However, Ayan didn't engage in a battle of words with him. He just lightly asked, "Although you say you just got married, you've been together for quite some time, right? It's different from me and Camille. We got married about a year before she got pregnant. Our child is already this big now. Time has passed quickly."
Ayan snorted, his gaze coldly sweeping over Rex. He had a grudge to settle, and Rex couldn't possibly match him in that regard.
Rex raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and said, "Ayan, you really can't lose at all."
Ayan didn't speak, and Rex continued, "So, you still haven't told me where you went last night. Can't you even tell me?"
Ayan's smile faded, and a trace of indifference appeared in his deep eyes. He glanced at the entrance not far away to make sure Camille and Sienna hadn't come back before he calmly said, "Cora is missing."
Rex immediately frowned, his eyes showing a slightly serious look. He asked, "Missing from the hospital?"
"Yes."
"She's quite capable. You should keep a close eye on the Simpson's mansion. And make sure you have someone looking out for Camille. Cora's not to be trusted; after all, you kept her locked up in a mental hospital for so long. That's probably more painful for her than if you had killed her. So, you need to be careful. She's the kind of person whose mind is twisted. What she'll do next is an unknown."
Rex's warning was something Ayan had already anticipated since the moment he decided to send Cora in.
Cora definitely hated him to the core, but his only wish was that her hatred wouldn't transfer to anyone else, except him.
However, that was just his wish. Whether Cora would do as he hoped was an unknown.
After all, Cora had a history. She was capable of taking Timmy from the Simpson's mansion, pushing down his grandpa. It was enough to show how petty Cora was. Such malice could lead to unpredictable changes, and what those changes would be was an unknown.
Ayan's face darkened slightly. His indifferent voice didn't continue to guess what Cora might be thinking in this situation. Instead, he asked coldly, "Austin isn't in Hance City. It shouldn't be easy for Cora to contact him. But if she's not looking for Austin, then who would she reach out to for help?"
This question had been lingering in his mind ever since he learned that Cora was missing. Until now, he hadn't found an answer that satisfied him.
Because he didn't believe that there was no one helping Cora. She couldn't have left the unfamiliar suburbs by herself.
