My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 935

Chapter 935: Disappointment

Molly simply smiled, "Dad, you always say that I've grown up. So this time, let me handle things in an adult way, okay?"

Luke kept a serious face, unsure of what Molly was planning, but she was persistent. With Naomi's support, she added, "Luke, since Molly is willing to turn things around, let's cooperate with her. She's grown up now, and eventually, she'll have to stand on her own. We can't keep holding her back. Besides, you haven't been feeling well recently, so it's a good idea for us to go out and relax."

Naomi cautiously finished her point, and Luke, although not too pleased, eventually agreed. However, to ensure safety, trusted individuals were left behind to immediately contact him if anything seemed amiss.

Molly informed Preston about Luke and Naomi's plan to go abroad that afternoon. Faced with this unexpected news, Preston was shocked and surprised, "Why suddenly go abroad?"

"My parents said they had it planned earlier. Dad's not feeling well and wants to go abroad to relax and clear his mind."

Molly's response was natural, devoid of any hint of oddness or deception, so Preston didn't think too much about it. He didn't have the mental space to.

However, that same evening, when he messaged Zoie and received no response, his concern heightened. It was something that had never happened before. This unusual silence started making him feel anxious and restless.

For hours, Preston messaged and called Molly behind Zoie's back multiple times, but there was no response at all. He considered various reasons-maybe she was sleeping, taking a shower, watching TV, or her phone was charging-but as time passed, each possibility was debunked.

Zoie had lost contact, and Preston couldn't find peace of mind.

Meanwhile, Molly's conversation with Preston was met with a lackluster response. He appeared absent-minded, which Molly subconsciously noticed. She narrowed her eyes slightly, her voice gentle, "Brother, are you alright? You seem preoccupied. Has something happened?"

Preston looked at Molly, quickly responding, "Nothing, I was just thinking about how to behave while our parents are away. Maybe if I do well, they might agree to us being together when they come back?"

Molly managed a smile. Her eyes fixed on Preston, she said, "You're right. So, how do you plan to show them? Need any help?"

"No, this is something I should handle myself. I need to prove my abilities and reassure them about entrusting you to me." Preston's voice was soft, his expression gentle, his eyes affectionate.

In the past, Molly would have instinctively believed that Preston loved her. After all, such deep emotions wouldn't be apparent without some degree of love. But later, she gradually came to realize that in Preston's heart, even if there wasn't love, he had the ability to display those intense expressions that others might mistake for genuine affection.

She couldn't even imagine what might happen if she didn't come to this realization. What if they got married, had children, and the Walker family was completely handed over to him? What kind of situation would that lead to?

Could it be that even until death, he still wouldn't harbor even a hint of love for her?

These thoughts grew more profound, leading her to a harsh realization.

Molly took a deep, silent breath. Though she was concealing her emotions, they were still visible in her restrained struggle.

But Preston's mind was elsewhere. Even when they were having a conversation, he was preoccupied. Suddenly, he mentioned, "I need to be out for a while. Let's have dinner when I return."
