My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 957

Chapter 957: What to Do

Camille could sense Mrs. Bell's honesty and nodded gently in response.

She said, "It's true that we're ending our marriage. He went against our vows. We agreed to be child-free, but last year in Dane, he met a young woman and they had a child. So, he made his choice."

Mrs. Bell's words left Camille utterly shocked. She had considered, as had Ayan, that their relationship had dwindled into something akin to friendship or family due to the loss of emotional connection. However, she had never imagined that the reason for their separation was related to an illegal child.

In reality, Mr. and Mrs. Bell had quite a reputation internationally, and their loving relationship had been an envy and aspiration for many.

So, Camille found this revelation shocking and unexpected. She was surprised, and the situation hadn't crossed her mind.

Camille hesitated for a moment and then said, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Bell, I didn't know..."

"No need to apologize. Even if you did, it's not your fault. It's him who let me down," Mrs. Bell replied with a faint smile. Her eyes welled up with tears, and her voice choked as she continued, "I've endured this for the sake of our career, but lately, I've started to find it meaningless. I shouldn't be pushing myself at this age. My current assets are enough for my retirement. Why continue to force myself like this?"

Mrs. Bell shared many details about her relationship with Mr. Bell. They had been together since college, starting with nothing, but their love had been strong enough to make them do anything for each other.

Throughout their journey, Mrs. Bell had sacrificed a lot for their marriage. Her family, a wealthy and influential one abroad, had supported their charity endeavors. From the beginning, they had a mutual understanding because Mrs. Bell's mother had passed away shortly after giving birth to her, leaving her afraid that her child might grow up without a mother. So, she didn't want a child, and Mr. Bell, who wasn't initially fond of children, had agreed solely to stay with Mrs. Bell.

However, he had broken their promise and commitment. Mrs. Bell harbored significant resentment towards him, saying, "I loved him deeply, more than my own family, but he repaid me with this. So, I hate him, hate his selfishness and lack of loyalty. I'll never forgive him in my lifetime."

Camille listened intently, feeling a heavy, indescribable sensation. As a fellow woman, she felt a certain sympathy for Mrs. Bell, but this was an issue within their marriage. As an outsider, Camille couldn't offer any meaningful opinions.

After pondering for a while, Camille softly said, "Living with resentment isn't a punishment for others; it's a punishment for yourself. The best way is to forget this person and everything related to him forever."

Letting go of others was also a way to set oneself free.

Mrs. Bell smiled faintly and said, "You're right. The best way is to forget him."

Camille smiled back, "That's just my personal perspective, but no matter what, I hope you'll be fine."

"Thank you. I appreciate your kindness," Mrs. Bell nodded and continued, "Cami, I shared this with you not to burden you, but as a friend. I don't want to hide it from you, and I want to let you know that I may leave this project at any time."

Camille nodded, speaking softly, "I understand. As long as you believe leaving is best for you, then follow your heart. Don't make yourself unhappy."

Mrs. Bell and Camille chatted for quite some time, but Camille had a lingering question in her mind. She glanced at Mrs. Bell, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally decided to bring it up.

She asked, "Mrs. Bell, is this Mr. Mikkola really just using the fact that you and Mr. Bell are no longer married as a threat?"

If that's all there is to it, it seems manageable. After all, merely making threats isn't enough; there should be concrete evidence to back it up.

Mrs. Bell replied, "I don't know how much he really knows. Because he was involved right from the beginning."

"So Mr. Mikkola hasn't shown you what he has in his possession?"
