Chapter 1270: Better

Camille found it somewhat amusing. She said, "Does Rex really care

about Mario? He clearly has the upper hand now. He should be content

and not overly concerned about Mario. If he places too much

importance on Mario, it will only make him suspicious and the

consequences would be unimaginable for him. Sienna only has him in

her heart, and if he values Mario too much, it will only make him

paranoid.”

Camille unquestionably supported Rex. Setting aside their family

backgrounds and earning capabilities, as those were evenly matched,

what she valued was how he treated Sienna. Could he sacrifice

everything for her?

But Mario couldn't. If he could, Sienna would not have become Rex's

wife today. This fact was known to those in the know.

Perhaps Rex was worried that if Mario changed and no longer only

focused on work, Sienna might turn back to him. The answer, of

course, was no.

In this world, everything can change except time. If the past is in the

past, no matter how devoted a person has become, they won't

abandon everything and turn back. Just because someone has

changed doesn't mean the other person is obligated to choose them.

If Sienna wanted to wait for Mario to change and get back together, she

wouldn't have fallen in love with Rex, let alone marry him.

Only someone who harbors fantasies and hopes will keep waiting in

place.

However, Rex's current reaction is naturally because his love runs deep

and he lacks a sense of security. This aspect needs to be adjusted by

the couple themselves.

Ayan is going on a business trip tomorrow. After taking a shower, he

had already laid down in bed when Kian called.

Kian said the plane tickets were booked, and the flight would be around

6 p. m. tomorrow. He would be back in Hance City in about a week.

Camille had prepared herself mentally, but when she really learned

about the timing of his business trip, her reluctance slowly began to

show.

She leaned against Ayan's chest and murmured softly, “So, tomorrow

morning, you're still going to the company?"

“I won't go tomorrow morning. I'll stay at home with you in the morning,

take you to have lunch with Grandpa, and then handle some work

matters. After that, we can leave,” Ayan patiently explained, but Camille

didn't show any joy while listening.

She couldn't help but sigh and say, "You'll be away for a week, so what

will I do during that week?"

She asked in a soft voice, her tone particularly low and her voice very

quiet.

The next moment, a low, hoarse voice sounded in her ear, "How about I

take you with me on the trip?"

This was something Camille hadn't thought of at all.

In fact, subconsciously, Camille probably just wanted to hear something

sweeter, but Ayan took it seriously, especially when she asked what

she should do, his first thought was to take her along on the trip.

Camille was slightly startled, then immediately said, “There's no need

for that. If I go with you, you won't be able to focus on your work.

Besides, if both of us leave Hance City, I'm sure your itinerary won't be

a secret for more than a day."

Because Camille didn't want to be like Ayan, her travel plans were kept

confidential.

Camille just told Ayan, "I'll miss you a little. Do your work and come

back quickly, okay?"

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon.”

Ayan told Camille that if she needed anything, she should contact the

assistant. The assistant has already been instructed, and the driver is

also available for Camille to use.

Since Ayan's business trip this time is relatively long, the two will be

temporarily separated for a few days. So, this day is naturally filled with

lingering affections and emotions.

It was very late at night when the two finally embraced each other to

sleep.

The next day, Camille woke up after nine o'clock.

Naturally, there was no sign of Ayan in the room. She got up from the

bed, washed up, and then changed her clothes before heading

downstairs.

Camille didn't see Ayan when she came downstairs. She frowned

subconsciously. Didn't they say last night that he would be home to

accompany her in the morning? Where is he?

Camille searched around and finally had to ask Nanny, who was busy

in the kitchen, "Nanny, have you seen Ayan?"

Nanny replied, "He went out. He made plans with Mr. Ward next door to

go for a run together. He has been gone for a while. He should be back

around this time."

Camille nodded to show that she understood, then walked from the

house to the garden.

The weather was nice today, with a gentle breeze and no sun. Camille

could sit on the swing in the garden and sway back and forth.

She sent a message to Sienna on her phone, informing her that she

wouldn't go to the office today because Ayan was leaving in the

afternoon, so she wanted to spend the morning with him.

Sienna quickly replied, "Okay, I have already arrived at the office and

started a busy day. I'm feeling very nervous right now, and I can't afford

to relax at all.”

The second round of the design competition was about to begin, and it

happened to be during Ayan's business trip. So, Camille could focus on

the competition and see if there was anything she could help with.

Shortly after finishing her conversation with Sienna, Ayan came back.

The two of them had run a large circle around the entire Franklin Bay,

including the villa area and the green spaces. It was quite big.

Even before entering the main gate, Ayan had already spotted Camille

sitting on the swing. After saying goodbye to Rex, he walked inside at a

leisurely pace. His hair had a slight sweat, and he stared at Camille and

asked, "How long have you been up?"

Camille looked up and replied, "It's been a while. Why are you in such a

good mood today? How come you were able to invite Rex to go for a

run? Doesn't he have to go to the office?"

"He has a social engagement nearby later,” he walked towards Camille.

Camille handed him the water she had just taken out from inside, and

he took the water and drank about half of the bottle. Then he said

casually, "I was a bit bored seeing that you haven't woken up yet, so I

went for a run with him. It's been a while since I exercised, feeling a bit

tired. Looks like I can't be lazy; I need to exercise more."

Ayan has been busy lately. Not to mention exercising, he basically has

a monotonous routine.

Camille smiled slightly and said, "Let's exercise together when you

come back from your business trip, okay?"

"Sure, your stamina is not good. You really need to exercise." His deep

gaze looked at Camille with a meaningful expression, instantly making

her cheeks blush.

Camille pursed her lips, not wanting to respond to that topic. She just

glanced at him calmly and said, "It's getting late. Let's have breakfast

and then go to the hospital to see Grandpa.”

Ayan knew she was changing the subject, but he wouldn't really

expose it. He just smiled lightly and agreed.

While Ayan said he didn't plan to go see Timmy at the Simpson's

mansion, his actual plan was to go there first and see Timmy, and then

go to the hospital to see the old Simpson around lunchtime.

The two of them returned to the Simpson's mansion, where Talia was

playing with Timmy in the garden.

When Talia saw Camille and Ayan coming back, both of them were

momentarily stunned. Timmy was the first to react, and before the car

even stopped, he was already jumping and clapping from a distance,

shouting, "Mommy, Mommy!"

Because Talia always emphasized to him the hardships Camille had

endured in giving birth to him, the older Timmy got, the more dependent

he became on his mother. In his heart, his mom was the best person.

All of this was thanks to Talia's efforts. After all, it's hard for Camille to

imagine her mother-in-law truly treating her like a daughter. Common

mother-in-laws usually talk about the hardships of being a father in front

of their children, rarely mentioning the hardships of being a mother.

Camille got out of the car, and Timmy was already running towards her.

He tightly hugged Camille's leg and said, "Mommy, I missed you so

much.”

Timmy's speech had become clearer and clearer, and his sweet voice

was incredibly endearing.

Camille's heart melted as she listened, and she quickly bent down to

pick up Timmy. She affectionately kissed his cheek and gently asked,

“It's been so many days since we last saw each other. Are you doing

okay?"
