My Ex-husband Begs Me Back novel Chapter 1253

Chapter 1253: Vulnerability

"Well, I'm really not in a good mood, so please don't ask me anymore, okay? When I feel like talking about it, I'll let you know. Understand?" Sienna told Camille. Sienna and Camille were always like this. They didn't force each other to talk about things they didn't want to discuss. If they kept pressing, it wouldn't solve anything and might even worsen the other person's mood.

So Sienna certainly wouldn't pressure Camille. Instead, she said to her, "Okay, I won't ask you, but remember, when you want to talk, tell me right away. I'm not an insensitive person, got it?"

"Yeah, I know," Camille replied.

Camille chatted with Sienna for a while, and her mood seemed to improve a lot. Just as she put down her phone, Ayan came back to the bedroom from the study.

Seeing her lying on the couch motionless, lost in thought, Ayan walked over and kissed her forehead. He spoke softly, "Feeling a bit better now?"

Camille nodded gently, saying, "Yeah, much better."

"Do you need me to talk to Sienna?" Ayan asked.

"Of course not. I'll handle our matters. It's unnecessary," Camille reassured him.

"Okay, I won't interfere, but I don't want your mood to be affected. If you continue to look so lost, it will also make me unhappy. And when I'm unhappy, I can't guarantee what I might do." His words carried a strong implication, and it sparked a sense of weight.

Camille smiled lightly and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Guess," Ayan smiled faintly, reached out to pull her up, and gently embraced her in his arms. He said, "Let's have dinner together tomorrow night. The project is about to resume, and the Nores family will formally apologize to us. We'll have the meal at one of the Simpson Group's hotels, our own place."

"Yeah, sure," Camille agreed readily.

She agreed directly without hesitation.

Ayan was slightly taken aback, then asked softly, "Won't you feel tired? Will accompanying me to these social events bother you?"

"If I said yes, would you not invite me next time?" Camille smiled lightly, her lips wrapped in a smile.

He said, "Of course not. You're Mrs. Simpson of the Simpson family, and in the future, you'll also have your own role to play. Although I don't really want you to be involved in these social events, it's still good to participate to some extent. It's beneficial for future appearances. At least people will know who you are, and no one would dare to challenge your bottom line."

Camille didn't mind being associated with anything related to the Simpson family. It wasn't something that embarrassed her; instead, it was something she was proud of. After all, not everyone had the opportunity and luck.

Camille also rarely refuted Ayan's intentions. Instead, she smiled gently and said, "Okay, then I'll walk with confidence in public from now on. If anyone dares to say anything, I'll ask them directly, 'Do you know who I am? I have Ayan behind me, and if you dare to bully me, Ayan will take care of you.'"

Camille vividly described it as if she would say that in the next second.

Her behavior made Ayan unable to help but smile, and he said, "I'm really looking forward to your performance."

"Will you feel embarrassed if I say it like that?" Camille asked.

"Why should I feel embarrassed?" Ayan replied. "After all, I'm standing by your side. Aren't you afraid of them talking behind your back?"

He didn't hesitate at all and said, "Why should I be afraid of what others say? As long as you're happy, I support whatever you say."

Ayan's detailed explanation greatly surprised Camille. Although she knew the Simpson Group was powerful, she didn't expect it to be this strong. It was many times stronger than she had imagined.

Camille nodded gently and said, "This matter is important. Focus on handling it, and I'll be here at home!"

Although she and Ayan didn't have clearly defined roles of one person managing the household and the other handling external matters, her job was much less demanding than Ayan's. Therefore, she naturally took care of more things at home. Although there wasn't much for her to worry about at home, at least she wanted to ensure that Ayan had no concerns.

Her words were particularly earnest, and Ayan couldn't help but smile as he listened. He gently pinched Camille's chin and whispered, "Is that all?"

Camille looked at him with wide eyes, not understanding his meaning. "What else?" she asked.

"Have you never thought about accompanying me abroad for this project?" he asked seriously, his distinct black and white eyes fixed on her without wavering. He said, "Would you like to join me?"

Camille instinctively froze. In reality, she and Ayan rarely had the chance to go out together. They had only been to Flento City and Dane City once before and nothing more. So when Ayan suggested going abroad together, Camille felt a flutter in her heart. She also wanted to take a trip alone with Ayan, just the two of them, enjoying some pure leisure time. After all, they had been married for so long and hadn't really had a honeymoon, except for those few days in Dane City and Flento City. Most of their time was spent at home in Hance City.

Of course, they had their date nights, but it was still different.

However, after what happened yesterday, how could Camille leave Hance City and go abroad to have fun with Ayan without a guilty conscience? Her mind was now consumed with thoughts of what Preston was planning. On one hand, she worried about Timmy's safety and was also afraid that Preston would harm anyone in the Simpson family.

So, of course, Camille couldn't agree to go abroad with Preston. But she couldn't outright refuse either, so she pursed her lips, as if seriously contemplating, and then slowly raised her head to look at him. She said, "I think it's not a good idea. Going abroad would require at least a week, and if I were to accompany you, you would probably have to spend some time with me too. A week might not be enough. But my grandfather is currently in the hospital, and if his condition allows, he could undergo surgery at any time. My mom needs to take care of Timmy, and that would leave only my dad alone in the hospital. It would be tiring for him. My plan is, if my grandfather is scheduled for surgery, we can have Timmy come over to our place, or we can take turns with my dad to take care of my grandfather. That would make things easier. So, I won't accompany you this time. Maybe next time!"

Camille's reasons were very valid, leaving no room for doubts or suspicions from Ayan. Consequently, Ayan didn't think much about it and simply nodded in agreement.
