Camille rested her chin on her hand, lips slightly pursed. She said, "Maybe he missed me too much?"
"Oh my god, do you even know what you're saying? How can you say something like that? Aren't you shy anymore?" Sienna covered her face, pretending to be overly dramatic.
Camille shook her head at her and said nonchalantly, "You've had your fun. Let's get back to work."
The two of them continued working until it was time to leave for the day.
Camille usually drove to work herself, but Ayan had instructed her to go home with Sienna after work. Rex happened to be picking Sienna up, so Camille rode with him back to Franklin Bay.
When they arrived back at Franklin Bay, it was already dinnertime, and the maid had prepared the meal. Timmy was playing happily in the garden, running around, and when he heard Camille's voice, he immediately ran over, excited.
Camille bent down to pick Timmy up and kissed his cheek, as she always did. She asked, "Was Timmy a good boy today?"
Timmy nodded, "Yes, good boy."
Camille gently pinched his cheeks, and a smile played on her lips. Her eyes were fixed on Timmy as she asked, "Were you happy at daycare today?"
Timmy replied, "Happy, flowers."
Camille didn't quite understand. "Flowers?"
"Flowers, nanny, flowers." Timmy looked at the nanny, who quickly took out a small red flower from her pocket and handed it to Camille. She explained, "This is a reward from daycare. The teacher gave Timmy a red flower, and he kept saying he wanted to give it to his mommy."
Camille took the small, unremarkable red flower into her hands. It was tiny and had no special features, but Camille could feel the warmth of the gesture. After all, it was the first gift her precious son had given her.
She felt touched and extremely happy. She gently kissed Timmy's forehead and said, "Thank you, baby."
Timmy could sense Camille's happiness, and he was very pleased himself.
That night, before bedtime, Ayan video-called again. This time, he wanted to see Timmy, but Timmy was not interested. He only greeted Ayan briefly and then insisted on watching cartoons. Lately, the daycare had been showing them educational cartoons, so he wanted to watch them every night.
Although Camille was worried about his eyes, she couldn't help it. He grew up day by day, and she couldn't deny him the opportunity to learn.
So, when Timmy ran off to watch his cartoons, it was just Camille and Ayan on the video call. Camille smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry, our son doesn't want to chat with you. So, you're stuck with me."
"That's fine," he replied without a hint of disappointment. Instead, he seemed quite content. Why was that?
Camille was momentarily surprised and asked, "Aren't you sad?"
"Not at all. I'd rather he didn't chat with me," Ayan said seriously. His deep, affectionate eyes were fixed on Camille as he added, "Honestly, I prefer chatting with you."
Camille let out a small huff, not mincing words. "But what if I don't feel like chatting with you anymore?"
"Are you really that heartless?"
"Yes."
"In that case, go rest or spend time with Timmy. I've gotten used to it. You don't have to mind me," he said casually.
