Chapter 237 Unworthiness

"Don't bother. Take Sophia back to the hotel. I'l go alone to the hospital

and see grandma."

Camille refused him directly. She looked at Ayan, staring at him but with

wandering eyes.

Ayan frowned. "Camille, it's getting late. I can't let you go alone."

"There's a driver with me. What's the matter? Didn't I come here also

by myself? *

She raised her eyebrows and smiled, but there was no happiness in

her eyes.

Sophia sensed something too and asked, "Camille, are you mad at

Ayan because of me? I came to see grandpa today because my dad

asked me to. I didn't mean to disturb you. I'm sorry if I offended you. It's

not good for the baby to get mad."

"Thank you, Sophia, for your concern. The baby is in my tummy. I

certainly know what is good and what is bad. Sophia, you have never

been pregnant or a mother before. I'm probably more experienced in

this, so you don't have to worry about me, Sophia.”

Camille's face was pale and her words were too soft to show any

emotion. It was hard to tell whether she was happy or unhappy.

But Ayan knew that this was not the case when she was in a good

mood.

Ayan walked over to her, took her hand, and said, “come with me to the

hospital. I'm going to see Dr. Ellis. He called me today and wanted to

talk to us about Grandma's surgery. So, we will go together, okay?"

It was because of her grandmother that Camille backed off.

Ayan was driving, Camille was in the passenger seat and Sophia was

in the back seat.

Sophia asked, "Camille, is it too hard for you to take the competition

while pregnant? You also have to deal with the Simpson Group project

and your grandmother's case."

“No, it's not all together and still manageable.”

Camille's response was casual.

Sophia nodded and showed her understanding. “You don't have to

work that hard. Ayan can make a good living for you."

“I really appreciate Sophia's kindness, but everyone's choice is

different, right?"

No matter how good Ayan was or how stable their relationship was,

Camille felt that having her own career and her own circle was

essential as a girl.

After dropping off Sophia, Camille and Ayan went to the hospital in

silence.

Arriving at the hospital, Camille and Ayan first went to Dr. Ellis’ office.

Dr. Ellis said that her grandmother was ready for the surgery and that it

was time for her to get mentally prepared for surgery.

After that, they went back to the ward to chat with her.

It was nine o “clock in the evening when they finished talking.

They walked out of the hospital holding hands, and it wasn't until they

were in the car that Ayan asked, "Are you mad at me?"

Camille said, "did you do something to make me mad?"

"Aren't you upset because of Sophia?"

"Why is it because of Sophia? Ayan, why would you think that?"

"Because you promised Sophia to come with you to the Simpson's

Mansion? Or is it because you're too close to Sophia these days

because of work?"

Ayan wasn't sure, but he's been thinking about it all the way back, and

those were the only two things that had happened recently.

Camille smiled, "Ayan, what would you do if I were you today and

Sophia were some men?"

Ayan got silent.

Camille looked out through the window and then said, "isn't that what

couples will think?"

She didn't just tell him not to spend time with Sophia. Instead, she

shifted their position so that he could empathize with her and make the

change without her having to ask him to.

He had always known how smart she was. Sometimes she just needed

to say a word, but she didn't want to say it. Instead, she had to make

him notice on his own and take the initiative to change.

He smiled helplessly, and there was nothing he could do about her.

But he did not know, Camille acted like this because she didn't want to

feel inferior, and lose a girl's self-esteem and pride.

Sophia had been in Hance City for nearly half a month. It was no secret

that she worked with Ayan, and Eileen knew about it by accident.

Of course, she knew Sophia. She gave her a lot of bad times in the

beginning. Now she came back to get close to Ayan which made her

angry when she thought of her.

Eileen went straight to the hospital and confronted Camille. "Why are

you so useless?" she asked, "you don't care if Ayan and Sophia get so

close? Do you know that Sophia likes Ayan?"

Camille laughed.

She didn't know where Eileen got the gut to question her about this.

She shouted back, "who are you to ask me? You really like to mind

others’ business, Eileen. What's it got to do with you?"

“You...You don't deserve to be Ayan's wife, and you don't deserve Mrs.

Simpson's title. You will see!"

Camille didn't take her words seriously, and now she was very busy,

living every day to the fullest.

Eileen, however, was rather bored and went straight to Sophia after she

talked with Camille.

She had a big argument with Sophia, and she was stunned by Sophia.

She was no match for Sophia in arguing. Finally, she had to leave.

Then Sophia called Camille and asked Camille out. "Are you free? Can

we meet for afternoon tea?"

Camille agreed, and the two met at a high-end music restaurant near

Camille's workplace.

They arrived almost at the same time. After sitting down and orderings

drinks and fruits, Sophia said, "I didn't interrupt your work by asking you

suddenly, did 1?"

Camille shook her head. "No, what's it about?"

"Nothing, but Eileen came to me and said something I didn't like. *

"Do you think I told her to come to you? " Camille asked in confusion,

or she wouldn't have asked her specifically to meet.

Sophia denied. "I just want to be honest with you. I had a crush on

Ayan for years, but I have never expressed my feelings. Ayan and

Eileen used to be together, and now you're married to him, so I think

we can only be friends.”

Camille, her face going pale, asked her in a low voice, "lI was surprised

that you would confess to his wife that you've liked Ayan for so many

years."

"Because it's the truth.” Sophia wasn't shy to admit it. She looked

Camille straight in the eye and said, "but don't worry, I don't plan to

interfere with other people's marriages and relationships, and I'm sorry

if I caused you trouble recently. I'll be more careful in the future.”

Camille looked at Sophia. She didn't know this woman, but she knew

very well that Sophia was not like Eileen.

Camille confided, "I'm surprised you said this to me, but you're right.

You do need to keep your distance. If you get too close, you will be

labeled as someone who is too intimate with a married man. It doesn't

matter what you did, this label will always be with you."

“I know what you mean, thank you for reminding me that and I think we

can become friends one day too. "

Camille smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to that.”

The two of them cheered with juice and reached a tentative agreement.

After coming out from the music bar, Camille got into the car. Ayan

called the next moment. "Camille, where are you?"
