My Ex-husband Begs Me Back novel Chapter 1291

Chapter 1291: The Answer

Sienna had a sense of belated realization. When Crystal spoke at the bar, she also just recovered in an instant. At that time, Sienna didn't think of herself as a backup plan. She simply thought Crystal might be more enthusiastic. So she couldn't help but reflect in her mind if she had been too outgoing in her usual behavior.

But the more Sienna thought about it just now, the stranger it seemed. And now that she had reacted, she asked directly.

She gazed at Camille and blinked, saying, "So, does she have a crush on you? Or does she have some other purpose?"

Never underestimate a woman's intuition and sixth sense.

Sienna now felt like a detective, with her mind full of various doubts and speculations.

She stared into Camille's eyes and asked, "Crystal definitely wants to get close to you. No wonder the first thing she asked when she brought the local specialties to the company downstairs last time was about you. At that time, I found it strange, thinking she was just asking casually. But now, I guess she wanted to meet you, right?"

"I feel like it's not just me who feels a sense of crisis now. Even Ayan should feel it too!"

"Is her concern for me just a means to an end?"

"What else could it be?"

"It could be a means to an end, but it doesn't necessarily mean she has any special intentions towards me," Camille raised an eyebrow and smiled. "So don't think too much about it. As for why she wants to be friends with us, time will provide the answer."

Although Camille told Sienna this, when she chatted with Ayan in the evening, she also mentioned the dinner with Crystal.

Upon hearing Crystal's name, Ayan naturally reacted and asked, "Did you have dinner with Crystal?"

"Yes, didn't I tell you earlier that we were having dinner tonight? It was with Crystal and Sienna. Crystal had prepared a lot of specialties and snacks from Flento City for us. We should have treated her to a meal earlier, but we never found the right opportunity. Just then, Sienna mentioned that Crystal wanted to talk to her, so we had this dinner."

Camille continued speaking on her own, with Ayan not present. He couldn't see his current expression or reaction, so she continued, "I have a question about Crystal."

Ayan's voice finally sounded, "What's your question?"

"I feel like she might have some ulterior motives towards me or Sienna. Because you know the history between us. So why would she want to be friends with us? It's a bit strange to me!"

Camille naturally had no reservations about talking to Ayan. Just now, when she was in front of Sienna, she had to consider if her words would make Sienna doubt herself or behave unusually.

But it didn't matter to be honest with Ayan, after all, he had a keen sense of judgment when it came to people.

So Camille wanted to ask Ayan how he saw it.

Naturally, Ayan didn't want to give him that chance. He wanted Preston to continue living in the darkness, completely losing any power to go against the Simpson family. Now that Eileen's wings had been broken, he couldn't afford to give Preston a new opportunity.

Perhaps Ayan's words were sincere enough, so Camille didn't think much about it. She smoothly changed the topic to something else. It was already late for Camille, but Ayan was just having dinner. Camille needed to rest, so they didn't continue their conversation.

However, after finishing the conversation with Camille, Ayan didn't immediately have his dinner. Instead, he dialed Crystal's phone number. They had exchanged contacts, and even if they hadn't, he could still find it.

Crystal quickly answered the call, surprised because she didn't expect Ayan to call her. She asked, "Mr. Simpson?"

"It's me." Ayan's voice wasn't as gentle as it was with Camille a moment ago. It was rather cold and serious. He said, "I heard you had dinner with her today."

Of course, Crystal wouldn't hide it from Ayan. Since he asked, it must be because Camille had already told him. Crystal couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems like she doesn't hide anything from you. But Mr. Simpson, until when do you plan to keep hiding it from her?"

"Weren't we clear about this?" Ayan furrowed his eyebrows, sounding somewhat displeased.

Crystal replied, "Of course, I know we made an agreement. I just want a specific time. It has been a long time since this matter started, and I don't think I've ever asked Mr. Simpson directly for an answer, have I?"

Indeed, that was the case. After all, this matter was delicate and sensitive. The fewer people who knew about it, the better. So Crystal never took the initiative to ask, and naturally, Ayan wouldn't bring it up either.
