My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 921

Chapter 921: Convergence

Ayan wore a gray home outfit with the top buttons undone, revealing his fair skin. Honestly, among this group of men, he had the fairest skin, especially in hot weather when everyone went to places with water or swam in the pool. He always stood out.

Because of his fair skin, Camille felt inferior.

He sat by the edge of the bed, and after listening to Camille's question, he reached out and gently pinched her cheek, his voice gentle as he said, "Hmm, we were discussing something related to the Burtons."

"Arnold?" Camille asked instinctively.

Ayan's lips curved slightly, and he smiled faintly, "You're quite clever, aren't you?"

Camille looked at Ayan. Despite his smile, there was no mirth in his eyes. Instead, there was a trace of coldness.

Camille inquired, "So, what happened to him?"

"The Burton family is preparing to bail him out." He spoke casually, his gaze still fixed on Camille. He continued, "Tomas asked for my opinion, but I didn't agree."

"You didn't agree, but you've been thinking about it. You want to let them do what they want, right?" Camille straightforwardly revealed his thoughts. If he had really made up his mind about this, why would he be carrying such a heavy burden?

Although Camille couldn't claim to understand him completely, she had some sense of his temperament.

After all, they shared a bed every day.

Camille's words didn't prompt Ayan to deny anything. He squinted his eyes, a faint smile on his lips, and his eyes revealed a mix of emotions-hesitation and uncertainty. In a soft voice, he said, "I am indeed conflicted about this matter. I want to use Arnold to keep Eileen in check. However, Arnold is too arrogant and cunning. He's not someone easy to control. Even if he falls on hard times now, he probably won't completely restrain himself just because of the Burton family."

Ayan didn't pay as much attention to Eileen's actions. Using Arnold to keep Eileen in check seemed like the most suitable option. Eileen was wary of Arnold, and if he were released, she wouldn't be able to focus all her attention on him.

Ayan revealed his thoughts to Camille without holding back. Camille listened silently.

After all, thinking about what Arnold had done made her feel uneasy. Her expression grew more serious as she looked into Ayan's eyes. She asked, "Are you purely considering using Arnold to keep Eileen in check?"

"Of course. Arnold won't affect my relationship with Tomas. Therefore, there's no need to be held back by the Burton family. I'm just thinking about how things might develop in the future."

"But we're not even at that point yet." Camille's tone was indifferent. "Since you already have ideas in your mind, why not wait until the moment arrives and then act according to your plan? As for now, whether he's actually out of prison or not, it's not important now."

Camille's gaze revealed her calculation. If Arnold was truly as useful to Eileen as they thought, there might not be a need for him to physically appear in front of her. They could spread rumors about his release, plant the news in Eileen's ears, and create a convincing illusion. If she believed it, the effect would be achieved even without his actual presence.

Ayan was slightly taken aback by Camille's suggestion. His expression softened into a smile as he said, "You're right. Using one person to control another doesn't always require a face-to-face encounter. Eileen's fear of Arnold is probably greater than we imagine. So, hearing the news of his release might have a more significant deterrent effect on her."
