Chapter 1114: Irrelevant

“You can think of it that way!"

“I'm glad.” He lightly held Camille's hand and explained in a low voice,

“Indeed, it's not because of the Simpson Group's matters. It's for some

other things that need investigation. I sent Kian to Flento City for the

same reason. It's complex and tricky, so it resulted in a tight schedule.”

He didn't specify what the matter was, and Camille didn't ask much.

She just felt less uneasy because what she needed was honesty. As

long as he directly told her, she wouldn't have to overthink things.

Camille said calmly, "You handle your work, but I hope you can inform

me about the household, at least not making me worry."

Ayan nodded gently, "Okay, I understand."

He gently embraced Camille, feeling the warmth of the person in his

arms. His facial expression became gentle, but the emotions in his

eyes were extremely tangled and complex. There were things he

couldn't control or predict, so he didn't know how Camille would react if

she knew.

Although it wasn't clear at the moment, Camille could temporarily be

kept in the dark. However, everything would eventually be exposed.

Could she accept it?

Ayan squinted slightly, the emotions in his eyes becoming more

serious. There was a deep and low undertone in his eyes. At this

moment, Camille's voice sounded softly, "Have you eaten?"

Hearing Camille's words, Ayan was momentarily surprised, then

instinctively asked, "You haven't eaten, right?"

Camille nodded lightly, "Yeah, I wanted to wait for you to eat together.”

Ayan said, "Alright, I'll warm up the dishes. You wait here, and I'll call

you when it's ready, okay?"

"Okay." Camille didn't refuse, accepting his care willingly. After all, he

came back late, and although he was tired from working outside,

waiting at home was also quite tiring. So, in a marriage, mutual efforts

were needed, not just one-sided sacrifices.

Ayan quickly reheated the dishes and then personally brought them to

the living room. The two sat in the living room, watching TV and eating.

Although the meal was reheated, eating together with someone you

loved made even leftovers taste wonderful.

After dinner, Ayan cleaned the tableware, then sat with Camille to

watch TV for a while. They didn't go upstairs until around eleven.

He didn't continue to work, especially since it was getting late. He

wanted to spend more time with Camille. If she got upset, he would

have to coax her, and if he didn't do it well, he would suffer.

A restful night passed, and in the morning, as the two had breakfast,

Kian's call came.

At this hour, Kian naturally knew Ayan was still at home, so he called

anxiously, raising Ayan's suspicion that it might be related to the Bill

family's affairs.

As Ayan contemplated the matter in silence, he didn't immediately

answer Kian's call.

Camille also noticed his hesitation and asked somewhat puzzled,

"What are you doing? Aren't you going to answer the phone?"

After asking, Camille, Ayan responded in a low voice, "It's Kian calling;

it should be work-related.”

Having said that, he wiped his hands with a wet tissue and only then

answered the call, "Hello?"

Kian hurriedly said, "Mr. Simpson, Mario arrived in Hance City today.

His secretary sent me an invitation letter, inviting you to a reception

tonight at seven. I inquired, and many companies in Hance City

received invitations, so would you like to go?"

Hearing Kian's words, Ayan furrowed his brows slightly before

instinctively relaxing them.

Ayan asked indifferently, "Check which companies are within the

invitation range?"

"Okay, I'll compile a detailed list and send it to you later. But I estimate

that most companies in Hance City are within the invitation range. If he

wants to establish himself in Hance City, he must make some effort.

Simply inviting a few or not inviting some would obviously offend

people.”

Kian analyzed in a low voice. Naturally, Kian also knew about the

situation between Mario and Sienna, so he cautiously asked, “I don't

know if Mr. Ward received the invitation. If Mr. Ward didn't receive it,

probably everyone will know after tonight that there's a conflict between

Mario and Mr. Ward."

Ayan shared Kian's concern.

Although Mario hadn't stirred up much trouble since arriving, Ayan was

aware that Rex didn't want too much attention on Sienna’s affairs. This

would divert everyone's attention to Sienna, causing trouble for her and

leading to widespread gossip.

Ayan said indifferently, "I'll personally ask Rex about this. If there's any

new information about Mario, make sure to inform me immediately.”

"Okay, I understand," Kian responded in a low voice.

After ending the call, Ayan put down his phone.

Camille also heard the name Mario mentioned by him. She looked at

Ayan with some concern and asked, "What's wrong with Mario?"

"Didn't I tell you before that Mario would come to Hance City?" Ayan

said in a low voice while peeling an egg for Camille. "He arrived in

Hance City today and organized a reception tonight. I'm also invited.

Will you come with me tonight?"

Camille's focus wasn't on whether or not to accompany Ayan to the

reception but was filled with worry. She asked Ayan, "Are Sienna and

Rex also invited?"

“I don't know for sure yet. After going to the office, I'll call Rex to ask. As

for Sienna, I guess, given Mario's personality, he will definitely make

her go. Even if she doesn't want to, Mario has ways to make her

willingly attend.”

Ayan had dealt with Mario and had some basic understanding of him.

He was a man with strong male chauvinism, not allowing anyone to

oppose his decisions and ideas. Once he decided something, no one

could change it.

Especially because of his clear attitude toward Sienna, he had no

intention of giving up on her. Since he came to Hance City, he would

definitely want to see Sienna.

After hearing this, Camille's expression was full of worry and unease.

She looked at Ayan and asked, "What should we do then?"

Ayan instinctively squinted slightly, his tone mild. "Don't worry; Rex will

handle this. As for Mario's purpose in coming to Hance City, that's his

business and irrelevant to others."

Despite Ayan's reassurance, Camille was still very worried. She looked

at Ayan and said, "Even though you say that, I'm still very concerned

because Mario is not to be underestimated.”

"That's natural. If he didn't have the ability, he wouldn't be able to come

from Flento City to develop in Hance City. He's trying to restrain Rex in

this way."

"Do you think he will take Sienna away?"

"Sienna is an adult. If it were so easy to take her away, she probably

wouldn't have returned from Flento City with Rex to Hance City. She's a

thoughtful person; she should be able to make her own decisions."

"Mmm." Camille nodded lightly, but her worries hadn't diminished.

Seeing her like this, Ayan said calmly, “If you're really worried about

her, then spend more time with her. Your competition is about to start,

consider it a way to relax before it begins. Don't push yourself too

hard.”

"Okay, I know what to do.” Camille pursed her lips. She had lost her

appetite, even though she wasn't the main character in this situation.

However, Sienna was her best friend, and she was naturally very

worried and anxious.

After breakfast, Ayan left for the company. Originally, they would leave

together, but Camille wanted to go next door to check on Sienna. She

wanted to see how she was doing.

After Ayan left, Camille went directly to the neighboring house.

Coincidentally, she met Rex. They exchanged greetings, and Rex

seemed normal with no unusual reactions. Camille didn't know whether

he knew about the situation or not.

Camille walked into the villa, and Sienna heard her voice, coming out

from the dining room. The two locked eyes, and Sienna blinked lightly.

Camille casually asked, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"
