My Ex-husband Begs Me Back novel Chapter 1140

Chapter 1140: Voluntary

"Stop it, don't say more. I'm telling you, this matter is not to be mentioned again."

"Okay, I promise!"

Camille didn't say much anymore, just sighed silently and said, "Honestly, I was so embarrassed at that time. I didn't know what to do. I really wished the journalist could find a hole to hide in and never come out."

"I understand. I totally get what you were feeling. I feel sorry for you. It's all my fault. If I had been there, I could have shared the burden with you," Sienna expressed sincerely, saying, "To make it up to you, I'll treat you next time."

"Sure," Camille replied casually.

Sienna asked again, "So, how about now? Mr. Simpson isn't angry anymore, right?"

"Yeah, not angry anymore. He's in the study, probably dealing with this matter," Camille replied.

"I wonder what he plans to do."

"I have no idea."

Neither of them was sure.

In the study, Ayan dialed Kian's number the moment he entered.

Receiving Ayan's call, Kian was caught off guard. Ayan's first words were a questioning, "Your courage is getting bigger. You didn't give me any indication about such a significant matter?"

Understanding his meaning, Kian didn't offer any explanation or excuses, straightforwardly saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Simpson. It's my fault."

"How is the situation progressing now?"

Kian truthfully reported the situation, similar to what he told Camille.

Ayan calmly stated, "There's no need to respond to this matter for now. Keep an eye on it and find out who is behind this account."

Kian acknowledged each instruction. The call ended.

Ayan didn't press him further, which made Kian secretly relieved. Yessica noticed and asked, "What's going on with you?"

"The plot has been exposed," Kian answered Ayan's earlier questioning. He sighed and added, "It's really tough for me!"

Yessica laughed, "Honestly, if I were you, I would stand on Cami's side. After all, having inside information is the most useful. Mr. Simpson won't really do anything to you, will he?"

After Yessica finished speaking, Kian sighed helplessly. He looked at Yessica with a hint of indulgence and said, "I did it for you. I know you like Mrs. Simpson, and she's good to you. So, I would choose to stand by her even if there's a risk. It's just that Mr. Simpson has his bottom line, so I can't always stand by Mrs. Simpson every time. If there's a situation that's really difficult to choose, you won't be mad, right?"

"I won't. Don't worry, Cami won't make things difficult for you, and neither will I," Yessica said earnestly. Kian felt a little relieved. He was worried that Yessica might have conflicts with Camille, and if that happened, he would have to put a lot of effort into soothing the situation. Kian wasn't good at comforting people, so it would be a bit difficult for him.

The two held hands, and they didn't continue the topic. Kian asked Yessica, "When will you come home to meet my parents? They really want to see you."

Yessica's expression changed, and there was a slow nervousness and concern in her eyes. She said, "Can you give me a little time to prepare mentally? I'm a bit nervous right now, and I'm not ready yet!"

Ayan had already imagined how she would say these words. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He reached out, directly embracing her gently, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "I guess I have no choice but to agree today, right?"

Camille smiled faintly. She said, "I didn't force you. I'm not holding a knife to your neck!"

"But the way you are now clearly tells me that I must agree without hesitation, or else the consequences will be a bit serious, right?"

He imitated Camille's tone as he said this, especially when he called his own name. Camille couldn't help but laugh.

Camille said, "You're not allowed to imitate me."

He said, "Is it too domineering? You even control the way I speak?"

"Yes, I have to control. So, are you going to listen or not?"

"Do I dare not to listen?"

Camille said, "I didn't force you. All of this is voluntary on your part."

"Yes, it's all voluntary on my part. You didn't force me. You just subtly told me it's better to be sensible."

He held Camille's hand and began to act unrestrainedly, but there was no change in his expression. It wasn't until Camille sensed something was wrong and tried to push him away that Ayan, who wasn't willing to let go, said, "I've followed your instructions. Shouldn't you give me some praise?"
