Chapter 1071: Discussion

"Heh!" the old Simpson sneered, his deep voice following, "Since you're

not here to defend Cami, what's your purpose in the Simpson family? Is

it just for show, to make us think you're a good mother or to earn our

favor? We should naturally show you respect s Cami's mother, but your

actions make it impossible for us to change our opinion of you,

especially concerning Cami. You don't seem concerned about how she

fares in the Simpson family because of what you have done. What

distinguishes you from those who only seek personal gain?"

The old Simpson rarely spoke such words, and he rarely interfered in

someone else's affairs unless their actions truly bothered him, making it

hard for him to swallow. In this case, he had to say a few words.

The old Simpson's words silenced the atmosphere and made

everyone, except for Page, feel gratified.

Camille felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude in her heart. She was

genuinely grateful to have encountered the Simpson family.

Despite the cold treatment she received from the Armstrong family and

the absence of the care and love one would expect from normal

parents, she didn't feel too much loss because she had found more

love and acceptance in the Simpson family, something no material

possessions could replace.

Camille considered herself lucky for encountering the Simpsons.

Whether or not there were feelings between him and Ayan, the

Simpson family had always treated her well.

This kind of kindness was something Camille had never experienced in

the Armstrong family.

What moved Camille even more was that the old Simpson had spoken

so many words on her behalf.

She lightly bit her lip, looking at the old Simpson with eyes full of

gratitude and emotion, but the old Simpson hadn't spoken yet.

After this speech, Page naturally felt like she had been slapped across

the face, with her cheeks stinging, but this wasn't the end.

The old Simpson's voice rang out again, saying, "Don't think that Cami

is isolated and helpless without the Armstrong family's love and care.

That's not the case at all. She's neither isolated nor alone. She has a

child, a husband, and family members like us. The Armstrong family's

concern about her relationship with Ayan? For us, the Simpson family,

that's irrelevant. Marriage is just a piece of paper. The Simpson family

will provide her with what she needs, regardless of her identity and the

timing. We do it because she's Cami. We don't recognize anyone else."

Following the old Simpson's words, Fletcher added, “This is taken for

granted in the Simpson family. Whether it's us or Ayan, we only

recognize Cami."

"Yeah, so don't think Cami doesn't have family. We are all her family,

and although you may not believe that we truly treat her as family, it

doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. What we say, we can do,

and we only need to make Cami feel it, without worrying about people

who don't care about her."

Talia followed suit, and walked over to Camille. She extended her hand

and gently held Camille's hand, speaking in a very gentle voice, "You

may not care for her or love her, but we, the Simpson family, hope that

you won't disturb her. If you need money, come to us, the parents,

directly, instead of going to our children.”

The old Simpson also showed approval for Talia's words because her

words struck a chord with him.

Since the Simpson family firmly supported Camille, Page couldn't

question or accuse Camille. She also couldn't do anything to the

Simpsons. In the end, the dinner ended without further incidents.

However, it was only Page who left on her own; others continued

eating.

With Page's departure, the atmosphere became harmonious and

relaxed. The old Simpson looked at Camille and said, "In the future, if

you don't want to contact the Armstrong family, you don't have to. I

didn't want to say much before because you're family, but after all these

incidents, I've realized they don't deserve to be your family. From now

on, the Simpson family is your family, regardless of your relationship

with Ayan. The Simpson family will always be your home."

The old Simpson's words carried great weight, and though he had said

this before, hearing it again deeply moved Camille.

Camille bit her lip, and her eyes revealed clear emotions, with tears

glistening in her eyes, but she didn't let them fall because this was a

moment of happiness.

Later, Talia and Fletcher also said many heartwarming things to

Camille, and she stayed at the Simpson's mansion until around ten

o'clock.

On the way back, it was getting late, but Camille wasn't sleepy. She sat

in the backseat with Sienna, who gently patted her hand and

whispered, "Seeing the Simpson family treat you this way, I feel

relieved. Sometimes we lose a lot, but in the future, we'll gain twice or

even a hundred times more. The heavens are fair. When one door

closes, another one opens for you."

Camille nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, you're right. I feel very

lucky with them, and I'm genuinely happy. If I hadn't met them, I might

have become someone unloved.”

Sienna gently patted her head and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Don't

say you're unloved. Even if the whole world doesn't love you, I love

you, understand?"

Camille smiled and said, "I understand.”

“Next time, don't say such things. Don't ever think you're unloved. Many

people love you. Have some confidence in yourself, okay?" Sienna

encouraged.

Camille softly pursed her lips and said in a warm and faint voice, "Okay,

I understand. Don't worry.”

The journey back to Franklin Bay went smoothly, and Camille and

Sienna went to their respective mansions.

Tonight, Ayan wasn't home, so the house felt particularly empty.

Although the housekeeper lived there, it still seemed quiet, with no one

to talk to.

Camille returned to her room, took a shower, and had just prepared to

lie down when Ayan's video call came in.

She held up her phone and saw the man's face on the screen. Her

expression softened as she gazed at him. She asked, "Are you just

finished with your work?"

Ayan replied with an affirmative sound, and a hint of weariness

appeared in his eyes. His voice was a bit hoarse as he said, "I just got

back to the hotel. Have you returned home?"

"Yes, I'm back. I've taken a shower and am about to rest.”

"Did you go to the Simpson's mansion this evening?" he asked softly.

Camille instinctively bit her lip and replied in a low voice, "Yes, I went

with Sienna.”

Seeing that she didn't want to say more, he didn't press further. He

said, "You don't have to see her again in the future. Don't feel

embarrassed, and don't worry about what others might say or gossip

about, okay?"

Camille immediately understood that he knew everything.
