Camille's eyes were filled with annoyance, without any hint of subtlety, and there was even a touch of fear that Eileen might not perceive it.
Eileen instantly froze, her face turning pale as she stared at Camille. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but Camille didn't give her the chance. She heard Camille's indifferent voice saying, "You are like a haunting spirit that I can't get rid of. Why you follow me anywhere I go."
With that, Camille had already opened the car door, gotten in, and quickly stepped on the gas, driving away.
Eileen was left standing alone at the doorway, coldly watching Camille's departure.
Her expression grew rigid, a hint of icy resentment flashing in her eyes.
Maple Leaves Mansion.
When Camille returned, Ayan was playing with Timmy, accompanied by Timmy's nanny. Since they were still living at Maple Leaves Mansion, the nanny from the Simpson's mansion hadn't come over yet. Talia was worried they wouldn't be able to manage, so she had given Timmy a bath back at the Simpson's mansion.
With the experience from last time, putting Timmy to sleep was relatively easy this time.
Early the next morning, Ayan returned to the Simpson's mansion to see the old Simpson and Fletcher Talia off to the countryside. In the afternoon, Ayan moved with Camille and Timmy to Franklin Bay.
The nanny had also come along, along with two chefs and a maid from the Simpson's mansion.
The spacious Franklin Bay instantly became lively. Since everyone was familiar with each other, there was no awkwardness, and it felt almost no different from being at the Simpson's mansion.
For their first dinner after moving, Sienna, Rex, Derek, and Tomas were invited as well, making it a warm welcome for Camille and Ayan.
This group of friends had been busy with their own lives lately, so they hadn't gathered like this in a while.
After a few drinks, the conversation broadened, and Rex playfully teased the two single friends, saying, "Next time you two come without dates, you're not allowed to sit at the table. Go eat at the baby carriage with Timmy."
Sienna hugged Timmy and laughed, saying, "Timmy won't join them. He'll have a girlfriend soon by the time he attends kindergarten."
Timmy, not entirely sure if he understood, clapped his hands happily. It was his signature move these days.
His gesture brought laughter to the whole group.
After the meal, the men had another round of drinks and chatted in the living room, leaning back on the plush leather sofas. Camille and Sienna took Timmy for a bath. Now they were capable of handling it independently, without needing the nanny's assistance. Sienna even gave Camille a thumbs-up, saying, "I truly admire you. You're becoming more and more capable, more and more like a mother. Who would have thought the girl who used to have no interest in household chores is now a mother!"
Camille smiled faintly and dressed Timmy, then replied nonchalantly, "Don't worry, once you have a child, you'll figure it all out too."
Sienna sighed, admitting, "Honestly, I'm not sure if I want kids. I'm a bit scared."
"What are you afraid of? Afraid of having kids?"
"No, I'm afraid I won't be a good parent. What if I can't take care of a child properly? What if I can't be a good mother?"
Sienna looked troubled, feeling she lacked the patience Camille had. Camille gently tapped her cheek and said, "Why think so much? First, you have to have a child, and then everything will come naturally. Besides, I don't spend all my time with Timmy. He's grown now, and I only spend time with him occasionally. Most of the time, he's at the Simpson's mansion, and my mother-in-law takes care of him more. Rex's mother will surely help you too, and there are so many people in your and Rex's family. What's there to fear?"
Camille's reassurance eased Sienna's worries a bit, and she said, "You're right. Forget it. I don't want to overthink and make myself anxious."
"So, when are you planning to have kids?"
"After we have the wedding!"
"When are you planning to have the wedding?"
"Rex said we'll wait until you guys have yours."
