My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 887

Chapter 887: Style

Camille nodded, "It's okay."

"Not bad," Ayan replied casually.

Camille stared at him, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"I see you look very happy, and I'm happy too. Isn't it worth some bonus points to show concern for your work?" Ayan stared back at Camille calmly, without any hidden meaning in his eyes, leaving Camille unsure if he had any ulterior motive.

Camille redirected her gaze, fastened her seatbelt, and then looked at Ayan, saying, "Let's go back to the Simpson's mansion."

"Let's stop by and get some pastries for Grandpa first. Mom called and asked for it. Grandpa hasn't had a good appetite lately, but he's craving those pastries." Ayan drove while chatting with Camille.

Camille responded half-heartedly, preoccupied with her thoughts, causing her to miss several of Ayan's remarks without any response.

Ayan reached out and gently pinched her chin, turning her face towards him. He asked, "What's wrong?"

Camille looked at Ayan and blinked, asking softly, "Nothing."

"Hmm?" He narrowed his eyes slightly, clearly not believing her.

Her lips pursed lightly as she said, "I was just thinking about why you suddenly asked about my relationship with them. Is there something going on?"

Ayan chuckled and said, "So you were just overthinking?"

Camille remained silent, her eyes coldly fixed on him.

He hurriedly explained, "I promise, there's nothing going on. I was just genuinely asking. Maybe I made you misunderstand?"

Camille still didn't fully believe him and her gaze seemed to be asking, "Really?"

Ayan reiterated that there was really nothing to worry about. He understood that Camille had been through some difficulties before, especially because of Louise's death, which had caused her grievances. Besides, she was his wife, so naturally, others wouldn't treat her like an ordinary colleague. But now, seeing how well Camille got along with everyone and how they didn't seem distant from her, Ayan asked casually to confirm his observation.

After hearing his detailed explanation, Camille finally felt a bit relieved. Otherwise, she would have started suspecting if someone among her colleagues had done something, and Ayan had found out about it, wanting to subtly convey it to her but fearing she couldn't handle it.

All she wanted now was to focus on completing the project and not have any more incidents like before.

After buying pastries, the two returned to the Simpson's mansion.

Knowing they were back, Talia had already instructed the kitchen to prepare their favorite dishes, and Fletcher was called back early. They were all ready for dinner as soon as Camille and Ayan arrived.

The old Simpson hadn't been feeling well these past few days, only taking a few bites and refusing to eat more. He didn't look as energetic as before, causing Camille and Ayan to worry. Camille asked, "Grandpa, are you feeling unwell? Why aren't you eating much?"

The old Simpson just smiled faintly and said, "I'm fine, probably due to the weather. I don't feel like eating much."

Nobody believed the old Simpson's words.

Today, since Camille and Ayan were back, he reluctantly ate a bit more, but his mood was still not particularly good. His responses during the conversation were absent-minded, and such a state couldn't be attributed to the weather.
