My Ex-husband Begs Me Back novel Chapter 224

Talia looked slightly pale, but responded with the same tone, " You can't always put all of your time into work, you are a member of the Simpson family. Even if you don't work, you don’t need to worry about money. Of course, it’s good for girls to have their own careers and hobbies, but you still need to relax once in a while."

Talia's words made Camille smile.

She reached for Talia's hand and whispered, "Mom, you're so sweet. Sometimes I think you adopted Ayan and gave birth to me."

"Wasn’t that true?" Talia proudly said.

Camille smiled and the atmosphere turned much more casual.

They got out of the car and walked through the door of the teahouse. The hostess recognized Talia and said, "Hello, Mrs. Simpson."

Talia said gently, "I'd like a booth in the private room. My daughter-in-law and I want to have a chat. Bring us some fruits, a cup of coffee, and water."

"Yes, Mrs. Simpson."

The hostess arranged a private room for the two of them. Each booth was separate and private. Camille was surprised to come here just for a chat.

The idea had just occurred to Camille. Then a voice came from next door.

A woman started talking with a proud tone. "Ayan, we haven't seen each other for nearly four years. I didn't expect that you are still so professional as before."

Ayan asked gently, "Isn't that good? You're the CEO of the Benson Group, so it's important to be clear about the interests of both companies."

"Well, this is the experience of Mr. Simpson, who has been managing the Simpson Group for many years. Fine, I’ll listen to you. But Ayan, I want us to be best friends outside of work. Don't forget, we were the best partners in college."

The woman was trying to get closer to Ayan, but she didn't make him feel she was saying those words on purpose.

They talked freely about work and memories of the past. From the conversation, Camille knew that Sophia and Ayan were college classmates. They also started a business together in college and no one had beaten their records yet.

After that, the Benson family moved to DaneCity, so they hadn’t gotten in touch often these years. However, when Ayan went to DaneCity for a business trip last time, the Benson family was their partner. So, Sophia came to Hance City this time to discuss cooperation with Ayan.

Camille was silent and her face turned slightly pale. Then, she asked Talia in a low voice, "Mom, did you bring me here so that I could hear this?"

Talia was the only mother-in-law in the world that could do something like this, right?

After all, they were not related by blood, but she was sincere with each other, even if it was her son on the other side, she would be on Camille's side.

Talia reached for Camille's hand with a defiant look on her face. "Camille, don't worry, I am on your side. I know this Sophia has cooperated with Simpson Group for a long time. However, Ayan is now a married man. You've got to keep an eye on the man."

Camille couldn't help laughing, but there was a bitter feeling in her heart.

She looked at Talia and felt grateful. She whispered, "Mom, thank you for being on my side unconditionally, but we can directly ask Ayan about this. It is not good to eavesdrop especially like this. What's more, Benson Group and Simpson Group are still cooperating now, and it will make Simpson Group laugh if they found out about this. Why don't we just go?"

"How can you say so? If it’s a partnership, he should bring you. You're his wife and member of the Simpson family."

Camille was really touched by Talia's response. She smiled at her gratefully.
