My Ex-husband Begs Me Back novel Chapter 1473

Chapter 1473 - Errand

At noon, the two of them went to have lunch at the Yinze Manor.

It was safer and more secluded here because it was a members-only establishment, so there was no chance of anyone disturbing them.

They didn't opt for a private room, as it felt too large and empty, so the manager arranged a cozy window-side table for them.

Before the food arrived, Ayan asked a couple of questions about the Armstrong family adoption.

She asked Camille, "When are you planning to make it public?"

"Tomorrow, the sooner, the better, to prevent any regrets from them." Once it's out in the open, everyone will know the purpose behind this, the uncles might think they can deceive her and Grace, but the online community sees through it, so it might lead to more criticism, this time aimed at the uncles.

But this time, it would be the two uncles facing the backlash.

Camille also had a plan in mind. When the uncles realized that their two sons had given up the Armstrong family without gaining anything, she would send Grace abroad first, and if Ayan didn't want to see them, it would be equally easy.

If they were to make this public, it would surely stir up a small wave of attention.

Ayan suggested, "Once it's public, we should change his name as soon as possible and settle everything at once."

She didn't want him to waste any more time on this matter.

Camille nodded lightly in agreement. She knew that Ayan would be prepared for any unexpected situations that might arise.

After lunch, Ayan had to return to the office, so Camille asked the driver to take her back to Franklin Bay.

However, halfway there, she asked the driver to detour to the hospital without informing the old Simpson beforehand. Her unexpected visit brought great joy to the old Simpson.

Seeing her, the old Simpson seemed much livelier and immediately waved for her to sit down, "Child, how long has it been since you last contacted me? No matter what happens, you should always keep me informed. I may be old, but I can still help ease your worries."

Despite having no blood relation, the bond between Camille and the old Simpson surpassed that of blood ties.

Camille smiled and replied, "Grandpa, I won't be coy with you. Just because I haven't said anything certain, doesn't mean everything's fine. Don't worry, put your heart at ease!"

The old Simpson peeled an apple for her. Although he was old, there was nothing he wouldn't do for Camille.

Camille didn't hesitate and accepted the apple, chatting with the old Simpson as she ate. She recalled the recent meeting between the old Simpson and Ayan and curiously asked, "Grandpa, was there something you discussed with Ayan that you didn't want me to know about?"

The old Simpson remained calm and unfazed, looking at Camille steadily before explaining, "I inquired about the Armstrong family's situation and discussed the current state of the Armstrong family. No matter how the Armstrong family is, Armstrong Corp must lend a hand. Not only for your parents but also for your grandfather's sake. Your grandfather and I have been old friends for many years. Sometimes, I think, even a century later, I might not have the courage to see him."

Looking at Camille, the old Simpson changed the subject, saying, "Seeing how well Ayan treats you, I can finally rest assured. If he ever mistreats you, just tell me, and I'll take care of him for you."

Meanwhile, Ayan walked confidently towards his vehicle with Kian, completely departing from the Simpson Group premises.

Upon seeing this, Camille instructed the driver to follow them but reminded him, "Don't let them notice me. I don't want to disturb his work."

She was merely curious about what he was up to.

Camille messaged Ayan, "Do you have a business engagement? Are you skipping dinner tonight?"

Ayan promptly responded, "Yes, there's a collaboration to discuss, so I might be late. Don't wait for me for dinner. Let's take a stroll together tonight."

Realizing he could join her for an evening walk indicated that dinner time had passed.

Camille acknowledged his message with a simple "Okay" and didn't pursue further questions.

Following Ayan's car, they eventually arrived at a high-end restaurant, but Camille didn't instruct the driver to pull in. From her vantage point, she could observe Ayan getting out of the car and heading towards the restaurant. Initially alone, he was approached by a woman as he reached the entrance. They seemed to know each other, and he responded to her conversation.

Although nothing significant occurred, Camille couldn't shake off a feeling of discomfort, fueled by possessiveness towards Ayan.

She watched the scene in silence, her eyes fixed on their interactions for several minutes before finally regaining her composure.
