Chapter 986: A Real Divorce

Ayan chuckled lightly, but there was no trace of amusement on his

handsome face. He countered Camille's question, "Do you think I

should be happy?"

Camille instinctively bit her lip, finding it challenging to answer that

question.

It wasn't a situation that warranted happiness, but at the same time,

there wasn't much reason to be unhappy either. So, Camille wasn't

quite sure how to respond.

She could clearly sense that Ayan didn't want the divorce, so she

decided it might be better not to speak at this moment.

The two of them locked eyes, and just then, Camille's phone rang. It

was Yessica calling.

She picked up the call, and Yessica's voice came through, "Cami, the

university just called to let me know that you and Sienna need to

schedule an interview within the next few days. They've already

selected candidates that fit well with our company.”

"Alright, I'll go in this afternoon or tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll get back to them."

"Cami, you're not coming to the office this morning, right?" Yessica

asked in a soft tone.

Camille replied, "No, I have something to take care of. Why do you

ask?"

“No reason, just checking since you're not here at this hour. Anyway,

you take care of your matters, and I'll get to work too."

"Okay."

Camille gave a brief response and was about to hang up when

Yessica's voice suddenly spoke up again. She hesitated for a moment

but then decided to be honest, saying, "Cami, I want to tell you

something.”

"Yes, go ahead. What is it?"

"I... I'm together with Kian now," Yessica finally confessed after

hesitating for a while. "We've officially become a couple these past

couple of days."

Camille was visibly surprised, her eyes widening slightly. She blinked

and asked, "So, you're reporting this good news to me?"

“Yes, of course. After all, you were the one who introduced us, so I

thought I should tell you first."

Camille was genuinely happy for Yessica. Her face lit up with a smile as

she said, "Congratulations to both of you."

"Thank you!"

"Will I be your witness at the wedding?"

"Of course! According to my hometown customs, matchmakers are

considered the benefactors of both the bride and groom. We'll even

reserve a special table for you to show our respect!" Yessica couldn't

help but add.

Camille laughed, deciding not to tease her further. She said, "Well,

regardless, congratulations. Since you two are together now, enjoy the

feeling of being in love!"

Yessica expressed her gratitude once more before ending the call.

Camille put her phone down and glanced at Ayan, asking, "Did you

know that Yessica and Kian are together now?"

Ayan showed no change in expression, and his face remained devoid

of any emotion. He replied, “Their relationship is their business.

Whether I knew or not is not important.”

"Oh, so Kian didn't tell you, I see.” Camille glanced at him lightly before

continuing, "We're done with breakfast. Can we head out now?"

Ayan didn't respond but simply glanced at her. Then, he stood up and

left the dining room. Camille followed him, and they both headed out to

the car.

Ayan was still driving himself, while Camille sat in the passenger seat.

However, the car didn't start immediately. It remained stationary for

almost half a minute, leaving Camille puzzled. She looked at Ayan and

asked, "What's wrong?"

He didn't react immediately, his hand resting on the steering wheel, his

handsome profile displaying a subtle, almost elusive indifference. It was

as if he was contemplating something.

The atmosphere remained quiet as Ayan drove away from the villa. It

was an unusual silence, one-sidedly declared by Ayan himself, who

seemed to be in a somewhat sulky mood. Camille wasn't sure what to

say, so she chose to remain silent.

In no time, they arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau. At this hour, there

weren't many people around, just a few couples who appeared to be

there for marriage registration. The divorce window, in contrast, was

unusually quiet.

Camille and Ayan took their seats in front of the divorce window, and

the staff handed them each a sheet of paper and a pen to sign their

names. The whole process was swift, so quick that it left no room for

memories. When they came to their senses, they were holding a new

document, and the previous one had been taken away.

Camille exchanged a glance with Ayan, thanked the staff, and then

turned to Ayan, saying, "Let's go!"

Ayan appeared displeased, exuding an air that clearly warned others

not to approach. Even the staff, who were aware of their divorce,

seemed taken aback by his demeanor.

Camille had to reach out and hold Ayan's arm. She couldn't help but

ask, "What's wrong?"

He didn't provide an explanation. Instead, he turned to face Camille.

His deep gaze carried a noticeable sense of discontent, and his voice

dripped with frustration as he said, "What can I do? Right now, it's all up

to you."

Camille chuckled, "Mr. Simpson, you were the one who initiated this

decision. Haven't you forgotten?"

“But isn't this what you wanted?"

"Yes, it's what I wanted. But it was your idea. So, are you trying to shift

all the responsibility onto me now?"

"l never said that."

"But your attitude right now..."

"Fine, I'm not happy. So yes, you have to take responsibility.”

Camille sighed, "So, what do you want me to do?"

Camille was feeling a headache coming on. This man was difficult to

deal with.

As she struggled to figure out how to appease him, she asked, "So,

how do you want me to take responsibility?"

Camille felt exasperated. This man was difficult to handle.

But just when she didn't know how to placate him, she heard his

unwavering voice say, "Let's remarry. You just saw that there aren't

many people inside. We won't have to wait.”

"Remarry?" Camille was stunned, her face displaying surprise. She

asked, "Ayan, do you know what you're saying?"

They had just left the Civil Affairs Bureau less than five minutes ago,

and now he wanted to go back in for a remarriage?

Although this divorce had little to do with their feelings and was merely

a choice Ayan made to address his earlier deception, it wasn't

something to be reversed immediately, was it?
