Chapter 591 Oath
Camille's eyes fluttered, and for a long time she could not speak.
A voice in the back of her mind also asked, repeating Sienna's words.
âHave you been moved?"
'Is there any wavering?"
She didn't know.
She was a little confused because so much had happened between
them, it couldn't be that all of it could be written off because of his one
defense, could it?
But it was impossible to say that there was no emotion naturally, after
all, people had feelings.
Camille didn't really want to continue talking about it, so she also
answered Sienna directly, "Sienna, I don't want to talk about it for now."
Sienna nodded: "Okay, then don't say anything, tell me when you want
to say and share, so you don't let what I ask affect what's in your heart
and the answer, and you don't need to have any pressure, after all, you
didn't force him to do it, he did it voluntarily."
Camille nodded without saying another word.
Camille took Sienna back to the villa and then drove back to Maple
Leaves Mansion herself.
Since Ayan sent her back last night, they hadn't contacted each other
since, so Camille was really confused about what Ayan meant.
Playing hard-to-get?
He did not hesitate to deal with a few businesses in front of so many
people to seek justice for her, and moreover, he told everyone that she
was his wife and to stop breaking his bottom line, which was
undoubtedly the same as burning his bridges behind him.
Didn't he think about how it would end when their divorce became
public?
Because they both knew exactly where they stood today, why would he
make such a huge sacrifice?
The more Camille thought about it, the more confused she became.
She wondered what was going on with Ayan.
The two met again at a project meeting the following afternoon.
The meeting was called on short notice because Horace wanted to
discuss the interior design with everyone, and he selected a few
designers who were famous and had their own style, and wanted to
show the work of these designers to the rest for some advice.
At about 2 p. m., everyone arrived at the Simpson Group meeting room
one after another.
Cora was still absent from today's meeting, and Mrs. Bell asked, "How
is Cora? I thought we could meet her today!"
Austin smiled slightly: âThank you Mrs. Bell for your concern. Cora has
been discharged from the hospital these past two days. Because my
mother-in-law also came back to Hance City, she took Cora around for
a walk, and then for today's meeting, I took the liberty not to tell her.â
Mrs. Bell said she understood: âIt's good for her to relax and unwind."
While the two were talking, Kian also knocked on the conference room
door and came in.
Kian explained in a low voice: "Master Simpson has a temporary
emergency that needs to be dealt with. It will be over in about ten
minutes, so let's have some fruit and snacks and chat.â
Kian ordered tea and coffee to be served, and prepared some exquisite
snacks and fruits.
They understood that Ayan had something to do at the moment. After
all, Ayan was the president of Simpson Group. There were numerous
projects going on for Simpson Group, not only this charity project.
While waiting for Ayan, Grace also briefly introduced Horace's ideas to
everyone, and then gave everyone the organized designer's work for
reference.
[At the same time, the Simpson Group president's office]
Ayan sat in the chair in front of his desk, his gaze falling emotionlessly
on the woman in front of him.
The woman arrived twenty minutes ago.
She looked at Ayan and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I can only see
you this way. I know you don't want to see me, but Ayan, I really want to
see you once."
Ayan looked at her indifferently, "Mrs. Norman, what exactly do you
have in mind when you meet me in the name of looking for Austin?"
Since she couldn't contact Ayan, she had to call Kian and told him, "I
have to resume my work and I have a lot of work to check, so I want to
ask Mr. Reid for help!"
Kian naturally did not say yes immediately, but told Ayan all of Cora's
original words, because she was already downstairs at the Simpson
Group, and Ayan had no intention of saying yes at first, but then for
some reason he said yes again.
And he directly asked Kian to take her to the office.
At this moment after her words, Ayan had no reaction, not to mention
the slightest emotion, just like the calm sea without any ripples.
Faced with Ayan, Cora felt more and more uncertain in her heart. She
pursed her lips and whispered: "Ayan, I want to start over, I want to
start over with you, can you give me a chance? I swear, I will treat
Timmy like my own child. I am the only one who understands you the
most. I know that you and Camille are only united by your grandfathersâ
wish. You don't have any feelings for her, but you still have me in your
heart, right?"
Ayan stared at her expressionlessly and silently, his eyes as cold as
ice, as if the words he heard were just insignificant and could not make
him respond at all.
His reaction left Cora with no confidence, but because he did not stop
or contradict her, it gave her hopes.
She even felt that what she said touched Ayan's heart, which is why he
was silent.
She stared at the handsome man, pursed her lips, and said faintly,
"Ayan, why don't you say something?"
Ayan's deep voice was his trademark slow drawl, which made it
impossible to gauge his emotions, but it also made people feel cold.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, the darkness under his eyes were
extraordinarily cold under the sunlight, and he spoke indifferently,
"What do you expect me to say?"
The look on his face exuded a coolness that was brought out of his
bones without the slightest warmth, as if she had just said so many
things that had nothing to do with him.
Cora's face was pale and she clenched her teeth as if something was
about coming out of her mouth.
But without waiting for her to continue, Ayan spoke again slowly with
the indifference in his eyes: "Mrs. Norman, you met me here in the
name of work just to tell me this? Even if I'm married with a wife and
kids, and you still have no regard for morality?"
âI don't mind. I would like to treat Timmy as my own child, and you don't
need to worry that I will be cold to Timmy when we have our own
children in the future. I may not be able to have children in this life due
to my health condition, so you don't need to have any worries at all, we
just have one child, Timmy, in this life, can we? "
Ayan laughed softly, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
But what emanated from his bones was a coolness without any
temperature, which made Cora at a loss for words, and her heart was
silently asking, "What does he think about on earth?"
Cora kept her composure and asked, "Ayan, will you give me an
answer? What do you really think? Do you want to be together with
me?"
Ayan did not make a sound, but picked up his phone and sent a
message to Kian without moving: "Open the office security camera.â
