My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 988

Chapter 988: Implication

This was something he had just promised Camille, and he intended to keep his word.

Ayan's attitude was firm, but would such determination have other consequences given the current situation?

Kian was somewhat hesitant. "Mr. Simpson, if we don't allow her to hire a lawyer, I'm concerned that if things escalate, Austin will use this as an opportunity to cooperate with Preston."

"They're just a few struggling people. Even if they want to cooperate, what can they do? They don't have any leverage over me now. If they have reasons and motives to collaborate, it's their fate," Ayan replied without a hint of emotion.

He had many people and matters to guard against, and even Old Simpson was returning to Hance. So, he didn't have the luxury of time to worry about whether Austin would partner with Preston again.

It would be better to spend the extra time with Timmy and Camille, nurture their relationship, and get back together with Camille as soon as possible.

Kian, of course, couldn't fathom Ayan's thoughts and was worried that this decision might lead to unexpected consequences. However, Ayan's determination was unwavering, so Kian had no choice but to hand over the documents for Ayan to sign.

After briefing Ayan on the work, Kian was about to leave when Ayan suddenly stopped him and asked, "Are you together with Yessica now?"

Ayan's inquiry was casual and without much emotion. Kian was taken aback for a moment, then instinctively looked at Ayan's face. Unable to discern any change, he felt uneasy, and a hint of anxiety flashed in his eyes as he replied in a low voice, "Mr. Simpson, I..."

He hesitated as if he wanted to explain but couldn't find the right words, so he hesitated and couldn't make much sense.

Ayan unconsciously furrowed his brow and said lightly, "What are you so nervous about?"

"Mr. Simpson, I'm not nervous. I just don't know how to say it." Kian replied in a low voice.

Ayan continued, "If you two are together, then that's fine. Are you afraid that I'll spread the news? Or do you have some concerns? Do you not intend to publicly acknowledge your relationship with Yessica?"

Ayan's consecutive questions left Kian struggling to explain himself. He hurriedly clarified, "Mr. Simpson, that's not what I meant. I never thought of it that way. Of course, I hope you and Mrs. Simpson know. I'm just afraid you might think it's not a big deal and a waste of your time."

After all, he had been with Ayan for a long time, and he knew Ayan well. These were trivial matters to him and hardly worth mentioning.

Ayan raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a trace of wry amusement. "So, in your mind, am I such an unfeeling person?"

Kian froze, unable to provide a clear answer.

He quickly explained, "Of course not. I never thought of it that way."

Seeing Kian's nervousness, Ayan found it amusing. He said lightly, "No other meaning. There's no need to be nervous. I just wanted to remind you that since you're together with Yessica, treat her well. Don't take her for granted just because you're together."

"All right, Mr. Simpson. You can rest assured. I know how to handle it, and I genuinely like Yessica, which is why we're together. If I didn't have feelings or any connection with her, I wouldn't waste her time."

"That's good."

"Yeah," Kian nodded and hesitated for a few seconds before speaking softly, "Mr. Simpson, the reason I could be with Yessica was all thanks to you and Mrs. Simpson's matchmaking, so I don't know if it's convenient for you and Mrs. Simpson, but I'd like to invite you both to have dinner."
