My Ex-husband Begs Me Back novel Chapter 1327

Chapter 1327: The Price

"I know the flight was delayed, otherwise I would have arrived earlier in the morning. I didn't tell you because I wanted to surprise you," he whispered softly, gently holding Camille's hand.

Camille pursed her lips and hummed lightly, "You came back on your own this time?"

Ayan nodded, "Of course."

"What about Daisy? Isn't she supposed to come to Hance City?"

"She should be here in a couple of days. My return was a last-minute notification to them, so they didn't have time to prepare."

Camille nodded, saying, "Since we've chosen to cooperate, are you prepared to face her?"

In truth, this question seemed more like she was asking herself. Ayan had asked for her opinion, and she had agreed, so was she mentally prepared to face Daisy?

Ayan also sensed the underlying meaning in her words. He gently lifted her chin and murmured softly, "There's no need to prepare for anything. Whether it's Daisy or the Tillery Group, they are just business partners for us. The Simpson Group has dealt with partners before, so why should we prepare? Besides, this is Hance City, our territory. We don't need to bow to anyone."

Ayan embraced Camille gently, his tender voice still continuing, "But you need to make some time for me. After Daisy arrives in Hance City, the Simpson Group will host a dinner for her as the host."

"Is it appropriate for me to go?" Camille asked with a smile.

"Of course, you're Mrs. Simpson of the Simpson Group, a shareholder. Don't forget, you have shares in the Simpson Group, so it's completely legitimate."

Camille nestled in his arms, a hint of a smile playing on her lips as she softly said, "So, what kind of person is Daisy?"

Because she had never encountered such a woman before. Even Eileen, who had always stayed by Ayan's side for her own purposes, knew that Ayan was married and felt fearful in his presence. If Eileen looked up to Ayan out of necessity, then Alicia, from the Nores family, also a prominent family, an only child raised with love and affection, must be a confident young lady. However, even Alicia dared not openly demand to marry him.

Is it because of different backgrounds and ideologies that Daisy's thoughts are different?

Camille pursed her lips, feeling a bit displeased at these thoughts. She casually told Ayan, "Let's not let my parents know about Daisy for now. Otherwise, my parents and grandfather won't let you off the hook."

If it was simply for business cooperation, Camille felt there was nothing substantial to worry about. After all, who doesn't want to make money? Moreover, this project could open up foreign markets for the Simpson Group, a guaranteed profit. So, as long as Ayan didn't respond in any way, Camille wouldn't overly concern herself with Daisy's intentions.

She still believed in Ayan for that much.

With Ayan back, dinner was naturally lively.

Although it was just one extra person, the atmosphere of dinner with Camille alone was much better than eating by herself.

Ayan served her food and soup, taking care of her throughout. The feeling of being pampered made Camille sigh, "When you're not home, I don't even feel like eating."

Sitting alone at the table made her feel incredibly lonely and killed her appetite.

Kian informed Ayan, "Mr. Simpson, Preston has left the welfare home. The police couldn't find him during their investigation yesterday, but he left with the welfare home director at night. Our men are currently following him; he's staying at a hotel for now."

Due to identity reasons, Preston was unable to provide his documents, and the welfare home director's confirmation was for his stay.

After acknowledging the update, Ayan asked, "Keep an eye out for any news online about Elijah and his son; see if there are any movements."

Kian was surprised and asked, "Are you concerned that Elijah might contact Preston and assist him? If that's the case, it means Elijah is using our resources to help Preston. If Preston finds out, wouldn't he be thrilled?"

Ayan narrowed his eyes and spoke in a cold tone, "Although Elijah is Preston's uncle, Sean is his son. Shouldn't his son hold a higher position in his heart than a nephew? If that's the case, Elijah will have to bear the consequences of his wrong choices."

Despite Sean spending time with Preston, his understanding of him was limited. Otherwise, when Preston accused him and pinned a lot of charges on him, Sean would have revealed Preston's intentions for self-preservation. Even in such a scenario, Sean had indeed exposed Preston, but he still didn't fully comprehend Preston's true motives.

There was another issue - Elijah was Preston's uncle, but Elijah did not have a sister or brother. Elijah's background was also a mystery, making him quite unpredictable.

Ayan instructed Kian, "Is there any activity from Elijah lately?"

"None. His son is living with him, though he asked to meet you, I declined citing your busy schedule. However, Elijah is already planning for a future meeting. He definitely doesn't want to go back to prison, and his current identity still carries the burden of guilt. If he leaves your supervision, he might struggle to even feed himself."

As essentially an undocumented resident, finding work would be impossible, and he might even end up back in prison.
