My Ex-husband Begs Me Back novel Chapter 1530

Chapter 1530: Extinguish

Camille listened as those three words repeated in her ears, her heart beating faster in response. Even though they had been together for so long and she had grown accustomed to his affection, she still couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat at the sound of his words.

Camille pursed her lips and refused to answer, only responding in a low tone, "Have you just finished your work?"

It had been two hours since she sent him a message.

Ayan replied, "I just finished a meeting. It lasted a while, and my phone has been with Kian the whole time."

If it had been a phone call, Kian would have recognized it. If it was an important call, he would have informed Ayan immediately. But since Camille had sent a message, Kian hadn't noticed.

Camille didn't continue the topic and simply responded with an "Hmm," preparing to ask him about Sienna.

But before she could speak, Ayan's voice interrupted again, "Why aren't you answering my question?"

Camille smiled, he hadn't forgotten.

Camille said, "Hmm."

"What does 'hmm' mean?"

"Guess." She really didn't want to answer because she felt embarrassed. But Ayan insisted on an answer as if he wouldn't give up until she spoke.

Ayan's voice carried a deeper meaning as he said, "Camille, tell me, do you miss me? Or should I ask again after you come home tonight? Hmm?"

There was a strong sense of threat in his words, causing Camille to freeze in surprise.

How could he say such a threatening thing so directly?

Camille remained silent, and Ayan didn't push further. The atmosphere quieted down, allowing them to hear each other's breathing.

Camille wanted to avoid answering by remaining silent. Even though it was just one word, she found it difficult to say.

But Ayan insisted on an answer.

The silence lasted for about a minute, during which neither of them made a sound. After a minute, Ayan's voice broke the silence again as he said, "Since you're not speaking, I'll take it as your consent."

Camille widened her eyes subconsciously, a hint of incredulous anger flashing in her gaze. She quickly said, "Yes, I miss you. Are you satisfied now?"

Now, saying it over the phone was enough; she didn't need to find another way to tell him when they were home at night. Her feet were still trembling.

Upon hearing her frustrated response, Ayan laughed along.

He didn't continue teasing her, afraid that she might actually get angry.

The conversation returned to the content of Camille's message. Ayan told her, "If Rex has no objections to Sienna joining this project, there shouldn't be any problem with inviting Jillian to join your company for this project. However, for safety reasons, it would be wise to sign a confidentiality agreement. It would be beneficial for both you and Jillian."

"I understand, but I haven't talked to Jillian yet, so I'm not sure if she's willing."

"Isn't she interested in Mario? This would be a great opportunity for her."

Ayan didn't know Jillian personally, but he had a keen understanding of human nature.

Since he said so, Camille naturally had no objections.

After discussing this matter, Ayan asked, "Do you want to have lunch together?"

Camille checked the time and realized that it was less than an hour until lunchtime. It would take her half an hour to get there and another hour for lunch. After considering it, she declined, "No, let's have dinner together instead. Finish your work early and come pick me up."
