My Ex-husband Begs Me Back novel Chapter 1337

Chapter 1337: Regrets

Ayan's inquiry left Kian silent as well. Ayan spoke again, "So whether it's Elijah or Preston, all we need to do is ignore them. Give them the opportunity and time to meet or interact privately, as long as we have people secretly watching them. Time will present us with an opportunity."

As soon as the time is right, everything will fall into place. Ayan's goal is to make Preston believe that he is being kept in the dark, even to the point where Preston thinks he knows everything and is the most cunning and intelligent. This is Preston's vanity and his biggest flaw.

Only when Preston believes this, will he let his guard down and reveal his true intentions. Ayan has waited too long, but Preston has never shown his true intentions. Moreover, there is always someone to take the blame, which makes Ayan wonder how many people he can still manipulate.

After speaking with Kian, Camille happened to come down from upstairs. Ayan looked at Camille and then casually said to Kian, "Go and arrange what I just mentioned. I want certainty that Preston won't suspect anything, but also that we gather useful information. We can't afford to lose not only time but also money."

Kian nodded lightly, and Ayan got up and walked towards Camille. Standing next to her, he gently asked, "Did you sleep well?"

Camille nodded slightly and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

"Not yet. I was waiting for you. Let's go, I'll join you for breakfast."

After saying this, Ayan took her hand, and Camille followed suit. As they were about to leave, Camille turned to Kian who was still busy jotting down notes and asked, "Does Mr. Reid want to join us for breakfast?"

Upon being addressed, Kian promptly replied, "Thank you for your kind offer, Madam. I've already eaten. You and Mr. Simpson go ahead; I have some work to take care of."

Camille didn't insist, just softly said, "Thank you, Mr. Reid."

With that settled, the two of them walked to the dining room and sat facing each other. Camille picked up the glass of milk next to her and took a sip. Her gaze fell on Ayan, and she casually asked, "Aren't we supposed to pick up Daisy from the airport today? Why did Kian come so early? Are you going with him?"

Camille's eyes held a hint of inquiry, and Ayan met her gaze directly. He replied, "Of course not. He came early because he had work to attend to. Besides, it's still early for the airport, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Camille pursed her lips lightly and murmured, "Okay."

Ayan noticed Camille's thoughts but continued, "Why the questioning? Do you think I would secretly go to the airport to pick up someone irrelevant?"

Camille blinked and paused, even the fork she was using to eat stopped. She said, "I didn't think that way."

She lacked certainty in her voice, and deep down, she didn't really believe he would hide something from her. She was just thinking that Daisy represented the Tillery Group, and Ayan personally going to pick her up seemed reasonable. She couldn't help but have such thoughts.

Camille was someone who would always ask if she had any thoughts because otherwise, those thoughts would continue to linger and unsettle her. Ayan's intense gaze captured all this, and he casually said, "Why ask that? Do you think I would sneak off to the airport to pick up someone unimportant?"

At exactly 10 o'clock in the morning, Kian arrived at the airport half an hour early. When the clock struck ten, Daisy's flight landed, and Kian appeared on time at the arrival hall, accompanied by a female assistant from the company, all part of Ayan's team.

Twenty minutes later, Daisy emerged, and Kian, along with the assistant, went forward to greet her, conversing in English throughout.

Seeing Kian again, Daisy warmly greeted him. They left the airport together.

Not seeing Ayan, Daisy's visible disappointment was evident. She asked, slightly annoyed, "Where's Ayan? Why didn't he come?"

Kian smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Daisy. Mr. Simpson is caught up with work and couldn't make it to the airport to receive you. Let me take you to the hotel first for some rest. Mr. Simpson will then treat you to dinner tonight."

Upon hearing that Ayan would take her out for dinner, Daisy couldn't hide her joy. It was a big regret and disappointment for her when she was abroad, trying to arrange to meet Ayan but being rejected. Now, the opportunity was finally here.

Daisy smiled and said, "That's wonderful news. I also have brought a gift for Ayan. I didn't have the chance to give it to him before he left in a hurry. Now that I'm here in his city, it's only fitting that I take the initiative. Mr. Reid, please take me directly to the Simpson Group. I want to see where Ayan works and get familiar with it."

Even though Daisy's intentions were quite transparent, Kian, being Ayan's secretary, could discern them. Not to mention Ayan, the CEO of Simpson Group.
