My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 912

Chapter 912: Letting Go

Camille nodded lightly, "Alright."

Mrs. Bell followed Camille into the car.

The two of them sat down at a nearby café near Simpson Group. After ordering, Mrs. Bell finally spoke, "Cami, about today's meeting, do you have any questions?"

Camille replied, "Yes, I'd like to know, was this decision made on the spot? Why didn't you mention it to Mr. Bell when we were having dinner together?"

Mrs. Bell sighed softly and said, "Actually, I disagree with it, but we had no choice."

"Why?"

Camille looked puzzled at Mrs. Bell.

With a touch of sadness on her face, Mrs. Bell looked out the window and spoke in a low voice, "Cami, our trip back this time was not just about handling the Modest Temple Hotel promotion. We also dealt with the distribution of our respective properties."

Camille listened with a sense of confusion, her eyes showing her bewilderment.

Some speculations began to spread within her, but she found it hard to believe. After all, some things were not just visible to her; they were witnessed by everyone.

Camille pursed her lips and looked at Mrs. Bell, asking softly, "I don't quite understand what you mean?"

Mrs. Bell smiled gently, lifted her coffee cup elegantly to her lips, took a sip, and a touch of bitterness appeared in her smile. She said, "Cami, I trust you a lot and consider you a true friend, so I'm being very honest with you, without any concealment."

Camille had a vague premonition, and Mrs. Bell's next words confirmed her thoughts.

Mrs. Bell said, "In fact, we've already divorced."

Camille's eyes widened slightly, clearly showing her shock at Mrs. Bell's words.

She frowned, not fully comprehending, "Are you joking with me? How is that possible?"

The term "Mr. and Mrs. Bell" was synonymous with a loving couple in Camille's mind. Despite their age, they maintained a youthful and affectionate interaction, like young lovers.

They were romantic and held each other in high regard. How could they possibly divorce?

Camille found it utterly unbelievable.

Mrs. Bell continued, "We've been divorced for over a year."

Camille fell silent, completely immersed in shock.

Mrs. Bell added, "Although we're divorced, we still bear the title of Mr. and Mrs. Bell. We have a common goal, and for the sake of that goal, we can't reveal our marital status. Besides, many people support us from behind the scenes. If our situation were to come to light, it would not only negate our years of effort but also implicate others. So, we decided to keep this a secret after discussing it."

Their marriage might have ended, but their years of understanding and the friendly way they interacted made it impossible for anyone to notice over all these years.

However, it was only on this trip back to the country to handle property matters that Mr. Mikkola had discovered their secret.

Mrs. Bell candidly explained this aspect to Camille as well.

She said, "We didn't want to make this decision either, but Mr. Mikkola used our divorce as leverage, so we had no choice. We're aware of how much effort you and Ayan have put into this project, so I'm truly sorry."

Mrs. Bell repeatedly apologized to Camille, who didn't respond immediately. She was still absorbing the shock of what she had just been told.

She felt so shocked, so sudden.

She hadn't been prepared for any of this.
