The housekeeper quickly nodded and said, "Yes, Mrs. Simpson and Mrs. Ward watched a movie together and fell asleep."
Ayan furrowed his brow slightly, his expression somewhat stiff, and his voice became hoarse as he asked, "They fell asleep while watching a movie?"
"Yes, indeed. Mrs. Ward came over in the morning, and after lunch, they watched a movie and have been sleeping for over an hour now. We didn't want to disturb them," the housekeeper explained. She then allowed Ayan to enter the house and escorted him to the living room.
Inside the spacious living room, both women were nestled in separate corners of the large and comfortable sofa, so there was no discomfort at all. They had relaxed and rested well after watching the movie for an extended period. Ayan sighed with relief upon seeing this scene.
Initially, he had thought that Camille had intentionally stood him up and had no intention of talking to him. But finding out it wasn't the case made him very happy.
He watched Camille for a while, then the housekeeper discreetly asked, "Mr. Simpson, would you like me to wake them up?"
"No need, go about your business," Ayan replied.
Both women were covered with blankets, so there was no risk of catching a cold.
Ayan approached the spot where Camille was sleeping, and he looked down at her on the couch. Her face was flushed and cute, making him unable to resist reaching out and gently touching her. A warm smile appeared in his eyes, and a clear curve formed on his thin lips. He then bent down, took the blanket, and lifted her up, holding her in his arms.
Camille almost immediately woke up when she felt herself being lifted. As she saw Ayan, her eyes widened with surprise and a hint of panic. She instinctively tried to break free from his hold, but Ayan gently restrained her. His gaze was filled with warmth, and his voice was gentle as he said, "Shh, Sienna is also asleep. Do you want to wake her up?"
Camille blinked, then quickly ceased her struggle when she realized the situation. However, the stiffness in her face remained.
Seeing that she wasn't resisting anymore, Ayan said, "Don't worry, I'll take you back home. Sienna is still asleep, and we don't want to disturb her, right?"
Camille gave a slight nod, and Ayan proceeded to carry her out of Sienna's place. Their residential area had good security and privacy, so they wouldn't encounter anyone else along the way. It was an area where only their two families lived.
However, even though there were no other residents around, the servants in both houses had sharp eyes.
By the time Camille fully regained her senses, she was already being carried back to their own bedroom by Ayan. He gently placed her on the bed, then crouched down in front of her. He raised his deep gaze to meet her eyes, his voice low and gentle as he said, "Are you awake now? If not, you can sleep a bit longer, alright?"
Camille pressed her lips together, her gaze somewhat vacant as she looked at Ayan. Her reaction was a bit sluggish, and it took several seconds before she responded, "I'm awake."
"Do you still want to go out for dinner?"
"Yes."
"Alright, I'll wait for you to change your clothes. Once you're ready, we can go out. Okay?"
"Okay," Camille replied with a gentle nod.
Ayan raised his hand and brushed away a few loose strands of hair from Camille's face. Then he stood up and left the bedroom. Camille sat quietly on the bed, and after a few minutes, she got up and walked to the dressing room.
Camille didn't intend to put on makeup since it was getting late. She quickly chose a light-colored long dress and paired it with a matching coat. Opting for comfortable flat shoes instead of heels, she left her long black hair cascading down her shoulders. The overall look gave her a gentle and elegant appearance.
This took only about ten minutes. Camille then picked up her phone and walked downstairs.
