Chapter 864: Takeout
Once the idea occurred to Camille, she couldn't shake it off. Even when
Ayan explained to the old Simpson and Fletcher Talia why they should
prioritize having the wedding first in order to combine it with the
remarriage proceedings, Camille didn't pay much attention.
After Ayan finished speaking, he reached out and gently held Camille's
hand. However, Camille didn't respond and kept her head down, her
expression somewhat distant.
The old Simpson also looked at the two of them and asked in a gentle
voice, "Cami, what do you think about what Ayan said? From my
perspective, it would be better to handle the remarriage proceedings
first and then prepare for the wedding separately. After all, it takes time,
sometimes up to six months or a year. We can collaborate with several
wedding planners to speed up the preparations, but it will still take a
few months. So, what are your thoughts?"
Camille didn't show much emotional reaction. With a calm expression,
she looked at the old Simpson and said, âLet's go with Ayan's
suggestion. Since he has already made up his mind, we should follow
his lead."
Since Camille had spoken like this, the old Simpson and the others
naturally had no objections.
However, preparations for the wedding did need to begin, and naturally,
that task was entrusted to Talia.
Talia said, "You should take some time to choose your wedding dress
soon. Wedding preparations take time, so it would be good to take your
wedding photos first. It will also give us the opportunity to take a family
portrait.â
Talia's idea was unanimously approved. However, Camille's mood
remained somewhat low. The others might not have noticed, but Ayan
could sense it.
After dinner, the old Simpson insisted that they stay at the Simpson's
mansion.
It worked out perfectly since Camille hadn't spent much time with
Timmy lately. Naturally, she agreed.
She played with Timmy in the nursery, then with the help of a nanny,
she bathed him. Around ten o'clock, Timmy fell asleep.
Camille stayed in the room and didn't go out until Ayan pushed open
the door and entered.
Seeing her sitting by the bed, watching Timmy sleep, Ayan spoke softly,
"What are you doing sitting here?"
"Nothing," she replied calmly, without even lifting her head.
After she spoke, Ayan became even more certain that she was truly
upset.
He walked over, stood next to Camille, and looked down at her. Neither
of them spoke, and she didn't even make eye contact.
Ayan squatted down, holding her hand and gazing into her eyes. "Are
you angry?"
"No."
"Are you upset because I suggested planning the wedding first?"
He asked softly, his expression tense and serious.
Camille gave a faint smile and said, "I'm not upset. Besides, I didn't say
anything about when to handle the procedures, did 1?"
Ayan frowned tightly. Her tone was different from her usual calm voice,
and he could clearly sense it.
He glanced at Timmy on the bed and said in a low voice, "Can we talk
outside? Timmy is asleep, and we might wake him up."
âI don't want to talk anymore. Let's just do as you suggested.â
"Cami..."
"Alright, if you don't want to wake Timmy, let's drop the subject, okay? I
didn't say anything, so why bother overthinking it?"
Camille's tone was already very displeased, and her indifference in her
words was clear.
She didn't want to continue this topic. She didn't know if they would
argue if they kept talking.
As for Ayan's real intention to combine the remarriage proceedings with
the wedding, or if he had other plans, she didn't want to think about it
anymore.
From the beginning, he was the one who brought up the idea of
divorce. Now that she agreed, he had this kind of attitude. Camille
couldn't understand what he was thinking.
Camille was firm in her attitude, and Ayan couldn't do anything about it.
In the end, they could only leave Timmy's room.
Camille took a deep breath, pursed her lips tightly, and her face
became stiff and cold.
She sat quietly for a while, unable to dispel the suppressed emotions in
her heart. After a moment, she took out her phone, intending to send a
message to Sienna and chat with her.
But as soon as she typed a few words, she deleted them. Rex had
gone to Flento, and she didn't know if he had seen Sienna yet.
The answer was that he had.
Rex arrived in Flento in the afternoon and didn't immediately go to
Sienna. Instead, he contacted Ayan's people first and learned from
them that Mario was still in the hospital, and Sienna hadn't visited since
the second day of his hospitalization. She hadn't even been to King
Group.
Sienna hadn't left her apartment and had been ordering takeout every
day.
That was the most information they had so far.
After Rex received this information, he immediately drove to her
apartment building. He waited downstairs until the takeout arrived and
then rang her doorbell, taking the opportunity to deliver the food to her.
As she opened the door, she thought it was just the delivery person, so
she reached out to take the food and said, âThank you" out of habit. But
when she saw the person standing at the door, she froze.
She stared at the man in front of her with wide eyes, filled with disbelief.
Her initial reaction was to think that she was mistaken.
Because this man shouldn't be here in front of her. He should be in
Hance. Why did he suddenly appear here?
Sienna was completely stunned.
She stood there, completely frozen and unresponsive for a while, until
she realized that her hair was a mess. She quickly closed the door.
The loud sound echoed in Rex's ears and throughout the hallway.
With just a door separating them, Sienna's heart raced as if it was
about to jump out of her chest. She couldn't hold back her feelings.
She quickly tidied her hair and then nervously opened the door again.
Their eyes met, and she looked at Rex and asked, "How... how did you
come here?"
Rex held up the takeout in his hand and said, "I came to deliver your
food."
Sienna reached out and took it, knowing very well that he didn't come
just to deliver food.
She bit her lip lightly, her voice low as she asked, "Why... why did you
come to deliver food?"
She didn't know what to say.
Rex, on the other hand, remained calm and smiled lightly. âIsn't it what
you ordered? You've been eating takeout for so many days. Aren't you
tired of it?"
"So many days..."
After those words spread, she instantly understood.
She stared into Rex's eyes, feeling a bit embarrassed by what he said.
She looked down slightly and said softly, "Because I don't know how to
cook, so I can only eat takeout. I can't starve, can 1?"
âI'm not saying you can't eat. It's just that eating too much takeout isn't
good for you. So, I'll cook for you tomorrow, alright?"
Rex didn't know how to cook before, but later, seeing that Ayan could
cook, he even enrolled in a cooking class. During the time Sienna was
away from Hance, he spent his time learning to cook. Now, he can cook
some dishes.
Sienna didn't know about this, so when he mentioned cooking for her,
she couldn't help but smile and ask, "Can you cook? Mr. Baxter, are
you joking with me?"
Rex didn't respond to that topic. After all, they were still standing at the
doorway. He lightly asked, "Can we go inside and talk? I've been
driving all day, waiting downstairs for the whole afternoon. I'm a bit tired
now. Can I sit down while we talk?"
He asked softly, his voice carrying a hint of helplessness, making
Sienna instantly stunned.
But she quickly recovered and hurriedly said, "Come in!"
She stepped back, making room for Rex to enter, and then closed the
door. Since there were no men's shoes in the house, she proactively
said, "No need to change shoes."
But Rex still insisted, "I'd better change my shoes."
