My Ex-husband Begs Me Back novel Chapter 869

Chapter 869: Exposed

Camille immediately denied it and told Talia, "Of course not. I just don't have any fantasies about the wedding. I can't imagine what it would be like, so I think the one you picked is the best, and I'll definitely like it!"

After hearing Camille's explanation, Talia stopped pushing further and just looked at Camille with concern written on her face.

Seeing Talia's expression, Camille quickly explained in a low voice, "Mom, I'm really fine. It's just that work has been busy lately, and I'm afraid I won't be able to focus on the wedding preparations. That's why I want to leave everything to you."

Talia's doubts and worries gradually faded after hearing Camille's explanation.

Nodding gently, Talia gladly agreed to Camille's request. She said, "I'll handle everything for you, but you have to promise me that you'll make the final decision by yourself. I'll take care of all the details, but the final decision on whether you like it or not will be yours."

"Okay, I'll decide," Camille nodded, not wanting to worry Talia any further or reveal her true feelings.

During lunch, Ayan called, but Camille didn't answer as she was eating. She decided to call him back later.

After finishing the meal, the old Simpson's voice came up, and he asked, "Cami, have you thought about where to hold the wedding? Is there any place you like?"

Camille looked at the old Simpson and shook her head slightly, saying, "Grandpa, I haven't really thought about it. I think it's best to have the wedding in Hance so that it can be more convenient for everyone."

Her main considerations were Timmy, who was still so little, and the old Simpson, who was getting old. Additionally, they would need to invite many guests, so holding the wedding too far away wouldn't be very convenient.

However, the old Simpson meant, "The wedding is between you and Ayan. As long as you both like it, you don't need to consider others too much. This is a major event in your lives."

"I know, Grandpa. Don't worry, I won't compromise myself. I just feel more comfortable having the wedding in Hance. If we hold it elsewhere, everything will be unfamiliar, and it might not be as good. So, I prefer to make it in Hance," Camille explained.

"All right, since that's what you think, then go with your choice," the old Simpson nodded, and it was evident that he was in a good mood as he ate more for dinner.

After lunch, the old Simpson talked privately with Camille for a while.

The old Simpson asked with concern, "Are you agreeing to remarry Ayan out of your own free will and not because he forced you, right?"

Camille was briefly stunned by the question, but then she smiled lightly and replied, "Grandpa, did you misunderstand? Of course, I agreed willingly. If he really could force me, would we have divorced in the first place?"

Camille found it a bit funny, especially the way the old Simpson was so protective of her, which was both touching and amusing. He seemed like a mother hen protecting her chick in front of an eagle. Camille was deeply moved by what he did for her.

She wondered how many good deeds she must have done in her previous life to have such a grandfather in this life.

The old Simpson said, "I'm just worried that you're not doing this willingly. If that's the case, even if you remarry, you won't be happy. Since you're single now, I don't want you to fall into the same trap again. But if you're doing this willingly, then I'm relieved. After you remarry, take good care of each other, and if you need anything, just come to me. I'll always be on your side unconditionally."

Camille nodded, "Thank you, Grandpa."

"You're my family. Why be so polite? Rest assured, no matter when, we will always be on your side."

The reassuring look in the old Simpson's eyes made Camille feel his love for her, which was even greater than his love for Ayan.

After a brief silence, Ayan told Kian indifferently, "Since Molly insists on getting married, there's no need to inform the Walkers about Preston's other woman for now. Haven't you already established a close relationship with the Uthmans, who are also close to the Walker family? Use the Uthmans as intermediaries to make Luke demand sincerity from Preston and see if Preston is willing to give up the chance to tie himself to the Walker family."

The Uthmans and the Walker family have been close for many years, maintaining a friendly relationship. However, even in such close relationships, there can be hidden conflicts. The Uthmans envy the Walker family for having only one daughter, Molly, yet their business thrives. In contrast, the Uthmans have two sons who are engaged in a bitter power struggle over the control of their family business.

Ayan wanted to know how much capital Preston had, as he would eventually confront Preston. Therefore, he needed to be fully prepared for that day, and he wouldn't be restricted or threatened in any way.

This also included ensuring that the Simpson family wouldn't be involved. Dealing with Preston only required one person, and Preston wasn't worth the entire Simpson family's involvement.

Kian nodded and was about to arrange everything as requested, but before he could speak, Ayan's voice sounded again. He said, "Contact the people responsible for handling marriage certificates and inform them that I might bring Camille there anytime."

"Mr. Simpson, going directly to the civil affairs office might expose the plan. Why don't I ask them to come to Simpson Group to handle the paperwork for you? Or should I go with Mrs. Simpson on your behalf?" Kian suggested.

After all, they hadn't actually divorced, they were just going through the motions. If they were to go directly to the civil affairs office, even with prior arrangements, there would still be some risks.

Ayan looked serious, and so far, he hadn't come up with a completely risk-free plan, which made him unsure how to explain Camille's cold attitude toward him last night.

He understood Camille's thoughts. He had initiated the idea of remarriage several times, and after a lot of effort, he had finally convinced her to agree. However, now that she had agreed, he seemed reluctant to go through the legal proceedings. Camille must have some thoughts about it. And she must be a bit angry now, since she didn't answer his calls.

Kian's suggestion that he could handle the procedures on his behalf wasn't something Camille would agree to. She would definitely want him to be personally involved.

So, what should he do?
