My Ex-husband Begs Me Back novel Chapter 1222

Chapter 1222: Surprise

"She added me on WeChat, do you have her too?"

"No," Camille still shook her head, but curiosity appeared in her eyes. "When did you two become so close?"

"We're not close. Didn't we meet after the competition ended? And I think she's a righteous person, plus she's pretty. You know, attractive people tend to attract other attractive people."

"Are you just setting up all this to fish for a compliment?" Camille couldn't help but see through Sienna's intentions, and she didn't deny it either. She just smiled and said, "Hey, don't say it out loud. Beautiful women can also feel embarrassed, you know."

Camille stopped teasing her and simply asked, "So when did you actually become so friendly with her?"

"It's not like we're friends. She's just more proactive. She always messages me, and I can't not reply, right? After all, I'm a considerate little fairy, I can't be cold-hearted!" Sienna said, feeling surprised herself. She continued, "I don't have any real connection with her, and I don't know why she's become so proactive. It feels like she has ulterior motives, you know that feeling? But I still can't sense anything unusual. I just can't figure her out. What do you think I should do?"

Camille fell silent for a moment. According to reason, they didn't have much interaction with Crystal. After all, when the company chose an assistant, they selected someone more suitable and rejected Crystal. They only learned about her again when they found out she participated in the competition. At that time, they were sure she was exceptional, as participating in the competition required skill, experience, and most importantly, being a professional designer.

Crystal seemed to fit the bill. Initially, Camille thought there might be some difficulties in getting along because she had rejected Crystal before. However, Crystal was extremely gracious and didn't bring up the past at all. This surprised both Camille and Sienna.

Now, hearing Sienna talk about how proactive Crystal was with her, Camille couldn't help but feel a trace of astonishment.

Camille asked Sienna, "Have your conversations with her been unrelated to work?"

"Well, we rarely talk about work. It's mostly random conversations. She sends me funny and interesting things she comes across, and we chat about that. Sometimes she asks me about good places to eat in Hance City, but you know, I'm not from Hance City. It's actually her who's studying there. Doesn't she know these things? It feels like she's intentionally trying to find things to talk about with me. You know, I used to find it a bit surprising, but I didn't think much of it. But now, after talking to you, I'm starting to feel a bit uneasy about it."

Sienna shrugged, genuinely sensing that something was off. After all, they weren't particularly close friends, so why was Crystal being so proactive? The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

The two locked eyes, and Camille asked, "Why didn't you tell me about this?"

"Well, it slipped my mind, and I didn't think much of it, to be honest. I guess I didn't delve deep enough in my thoughts, so I didn't pay much attention," Sienna replied.

Sienna was now troubled. She carefully thought it through and couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong. She squinted her eyes and softly asked, "Why is she reaching out to me and not you? Do you think she has some ulterior motive towards me? Or maybe towards someone close to me?"

"What are you trying to say?"

"Could it be that she likes Rex? Is she intentionally becoming friends with me?" Sienna blurted out an incredible idea. Of course, she didn't think Rex was irresistible, but she simply couldn't think of any other possibilities after ruling out many. She was running out of ideas.

But Camille chuckled and said, "You know what? That might actually be a possibility."

Camille was just joking, taking it lightly. She took a deep breath and continued, "Forget it, let's not speculate anymore. Maybe we're just being paranoid, thinking too much. Perhaps she genuinely wants to be friends with you, who knows?"

Sienna nodded along, but she couldn't shake off that indescribable feeling in her heart.

Sometimes things were like that. It was better to leave certain matters untouched, but once they were brought up, it was hard not to overthink.

However, the two didn't have time to dwell on it further because Yessica brought in a delicious afternoon tea.

Yessica said, "Kian sent it over. Cami, Mr. Simpson bought it for you."

Camille hadn't expected that, as they didn't mention it during their call. Nevertheless, she took a picture of the coffee and sent it to Ayan.

"Not yet. After all, we haven't been together for long, so there's no rush, right?"

"If he proposes to you, would you say yes?"

Yessica paused, feeling it was a sudden question, but she answered seriously, "Yes, we have great understanding between us. He treats me well and has never said anything hurtful to me. His parents are also very kind to me, and it's not just empty talk. They said they would upgrade to a bigger house once we get married, so it would be convenient for us to have a baby. Rex's current house will be left for them in their old age, and they will provide the money for the new house, with the property registered under my name."

"This is what his parents told me during our heart-to-heart conversation. Even if it's not true, I'm still happy because they can at least say such things. Moreover, his parents are not the type who only talk but don't act, and Kian is not a blindly filial person. He considers everything carefully. In fact, he said that it's all thanks to Mr. Simpson that he has become so good. Mr. Simpson changed him."

As Yessica spoke, her eyes were filled with gratitude as she looked at Camille. She gazed at Camille earnestly and said, "Cami, thank you."

Camille was slightly taken aback and asked, "Why would you thank me? It's not like I brought Kian here!"

"Because you connected us. You allowed me to have such a wonderful boyfriend. If you hadn't accepted him for me, I don't know who would have ended up with him. But now, looking back, I'm glad it's me, or else I would have missed out, right?"

Yessica's words made Camille couldn't help but laugh.

Camille looked at Sienna beside her and said, "In the future, don't infect Yessica with your sneaky thoughts. Look at what you've done to her."

The three of them shared a smile, and it was at that moment that Sienna's phone rang.

She picked up her phone, glanced at it, and immediately turned the screen towards Camille, raising an eyebrow, "See, you shouldn't casually mention people."
