My Ex-husband Begs Me Back novel Chapter 1469

Chapter 1469: Passive

Camille continued to smile faintly as she slowly spoke, "It's simple. I believe the Armstrong family doesn't need two sons. We only need one cousin to be adopted by my parents, change surname to Armstrong, and be included in our family tree. Then, your uncle and aunt need to sign an agreement with me. Once the cousin is part of our family tree, they will no longer have any connection with your uncle and aunt. In the future, they will be like us and call them uncle and aunt. What do you think of this condition?"

Camille looked at the people seated at the table with indifference, her eyes were very cold, showing almost no warmth or change in expression.

She looked at her uncle and aunt, who had been trying to manipulate her just moments ago, but now they were silent and stunned.

Camille's words had left everyone speechless. Although they considered the pros and cons, they also realized that this was just a superficial issue. Once the cousin inherits everything from the Armstrong family in the future, won't it be the cousin who has the final say instead of them?

So, after contemplating this point, her uncle and aunt immediately responded, "Camille, what you said makes sense. It's just that both cousins need to be treated fairly. It wouldn't hurt to have an extra son in the Armstrong family. It means there's someone to manage the company together, which can be beneficial, isn't it?"

"If our uncle insists on adopting two sons for my parents, then both my sister and I will refuse. We will only accept one. So, uncle and aunt, you can discuss whether the older cousin or the younger cousin is more suitable for adoption?"

After Camille finished speaking, she no longer mentioned a single word about this matter. Instead, she picked up her chopsticks and began serving food to Grace, whispering, "Eat, you haven't been eating and sleeping well these past few days. Eat more. It's their way of showing care."

Camille gently winked at Grace, her eyes carrying a mischievous glint, which immediately made Grace understand her intentions.

For the next half hour, Camille and Grace ate quietly, while their two uncles and aunts went from being peaceful to bickering.

The older uncle said, "Camille, this is how I see it. I am your mother's older brother, and the older cousin is also the eldest. Naturally, he should be the one to inherit everything from the Armstrong family. That's what's proper."

After the older uncle finished speaking, the younger uncle and aunt immediately intervened, "Big brother, I understand that you're the eldest, but I believe my sister can't bear to watch her parents' eldest grandchild being adopted by her. So, I suggest that the older cousin from our side is adopted by my sister. This way, she can be at peace even after she's gone, and we can justify it to our parents for generations to come."

The younger aunt chimed in, completely against the idea of giving the older cousin to the Armstrong family.

They were all saying things to benefit the other, but was that really the case in reality?

Camille watched them argue incessantly. The smile on her lips did not fade.

Grace didn't say anything either. She simply watched her uncles and aunts bicker, feeling troubled in her heart.

She couldn't help but think, "If the two brothers were really doing this for the good of their sister, she might be happy. After all, having such loving brothers is such a happy thing. But the reality is that they both won't let their sister rest in peace, and are trying to force things on her knowingly."

Grace sighed silently, her expression cold. The thought of it made her very uncomfortable.

Camille noticed her actions and reached out to hold her arm, her eyes calming her emotions.

The argument continued for a while. Camille finally spoke up, "It seems like you haven't come to a decision yet. How about this, I'll give you some time to think it over. It's getting late, and I have something to attend to. Ayan is waiting for me at home, so I'll be leaving with Grace."

This time, the uncles and aunts didn't stop them. Instead, they got up to see them off, showing concern for the two girls and trying to please Camille.
