Chapter 1053: Suspicious

“I won't give in. I want him to think I'm with you every moment andcurse you in her heart."

"Oh my, why is your heart so wicked?" Sienna playfully shook her head."With you acting like this, I might think you have ulterior motives forme."

Camille couldn't help but laugh. Sienna’s acting was really on point, andit was clear she didn't mean it seriously. She said, "I'm sending her amessage now, asking her to come. Would you like to join us fordinner?"

Sienna replied, "Maybe it's better if I don't. I'm afraid Mrs. Armstrongwon't be able to eat with me around. And even if she manages to eat,she might get indigestion. So, don't worry about me; I can have dinneron my own. It's not necessary for you to accompany me. Go and havedinner with her. It's fine, really."

Camille knew Sienna was just teasing her, and she couldn't help butsmile. She understood Sienna's desire not to interfere with Camille'sdinner with Page.

It was indeed their first dinner alone. Camille had invited Page to dineseveral times before, but Page had always declined with variousexcuses, mostly urging Camille to focus on her work and avoiddistractions. A smaller part of the excuses was about the quality of foodat home-why go out when they had a good meal at home? Camillestopped inviting Page after a while because she didn't want toembarrass herself.

Looking back, it seemed quite ridiculous. Even for their own parents,they had to have a reason to visit. Initially, Camille didn't replace thisstrange. Now, she couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity.

Camille sent Page a message, and she quickly received a reply. Pagesaid, "I'm nearby right now. I'll come over. Why don't you go ahead andorder something? You decide what you want to eat."

Camille had no reason to decline. She had to wait for Page.

Camille and Sienna entered the restaurant, and Camille chose a tableby the window with a view of the entrance. There weren't many peoplein the restaurant at the moment, so Sienna didn't need to help andheaded to the kitchen to replace some food for herself. Then, she plannedto go to the lounge to relax while Camille had dinner.

Sitting at her table, Camille placed her order, but Page hadn't arrivedyet. She picked up her phone and sent a message to Talia: "Mom, can Isee Timmy?"

Talia replied quickly, saying, "Of course, we'll take a video of him andsend it to you right away."

Camille smiled and replied, "That sounds perfect. Just send me avideo. I'm currently outside, so it's not convenient for me to take a videocall."

Talia sent an OK hand gesture emoji and quickly sent a video of Timmyplaying with his toy cars.

In the video, Timmy was sitting on the floor, engrossed in playing withtoy cars. He had recently taken a liking to them, and Fletcher hadbought him a lot of toy cars. They were overflowing from the toy box. Itwas as if they wanted to shower all the love they had for Ayan onTimmy, their one and only grandson. Talia didn't oppose this approach,and Camille and Ayan's protests were in vain. As Talia put it, "He's ouronly grandson. If we don't dote on him, who should we dote on? Youtwo are never home anyway. If you were, you could share the affectionwith him. But since you're not home, we have to make up for it."

With things at this stage, Camille and Ayan could only accept thesituation. Watching Timmy in the video, fully immersed in playing withhis toy cars, not even paying attention to his mother, Camille couldn'thelp but smile. Talia kept calling him, "Timmy, say hi to mommy! Givemommy a wave."

He waved his hand indifferently and said, "Mom, I'm playing with mycars. Do you want to join me?"

Throughout the conversation, he didn't even lift his head.

Camille couldn't help but think, with his mind filled with toys, would hebe the same when he grew up and got married? Would he focus on hiswife, or would he remain equally devoted to her, just as Ayan was toTalia?

These thoughts brought a bittersweet smile to Camille's face. However,when she remembered how dedicated Ayan remained to his mothereven after their marriage, her worries seemed less concerning. Shebelieved that Timmy would likely be the same.

Camille pursed her lips and relaxed her expression. She chatted withTalia about Timmy for a while. After a moment, her peripheral visioncaught sight of a black car parking outside. Page got out of the car. Shehad driven herself, and there was no driver. Camille's gazeautomatically scanned the surroundings but didn't spot anyonesuspicious.

Camille narrowed her eyes slightly, and her expression becamesomewhat distant. She put her phone away, and her smile vanished.Page had entered the restaurant by now, and as their eyes met, shecould see Camille.

Page immediately walked over to Camille. She had a slight smile onher face, though it seemed somewhat forced. It wasn't because shedidn't want to be genuine; it was more about the sincerity itself, whichdidn't seem appropriate on her face. A mother shouldn't display such asmile to her daughter.

Camille, however, didn't dwell on it. She knew that the purpose of thisdinner was simply to address Page's concerns.

As she drifted off for a moment, Page had already taken a seat at thetable. Page's gaze roamed the surroundings briefly, and her smileremained. She said, "This restaurant looks pretty nice! Is it a recentopening? I haven't heard about it before.”

Camille calmly replied, “It's Sienna's restaurant.”

Page was briefly taken aback. She hadn't expected the restaurant tobelong to Sienna, which was somewhat surprising.

But that was all. After a brief moment of surprise, Page regained hercomposure and continued. She said, "Sienna is quite impressive. Therestaurant's decor is nice. I just wonder about the taste of the food.”Camille questioned her with a straightforward gaze, "Do you reallydislike Sienna that much? Is it because of me that you also dislikeher?"

Page was somewhat at a loss.

How could she answer such a direct question?

Camille didn't seem to replace it awkward at all and continued to stare ather without any signs of discomfort or emotion. She waited for Page'sresponse.

Page, however, seemed a bit embarrassed. She said quietly, "Cami,can't you give your mother a chance? I know I made mistakes in thepast. Can't we move past that? If you think I've wronged Sienna, I canapologize to her. Can we?"

Camille chuckled, "You've sacrificed a lot for me."

Page responded, "You're my daughter, no matter what. Isn't there asaying about no grudges overnight between a mother and her child?"Camille simply smiled without replying. Page couldn't quite readCamille's thoughts and was left wondering what was on her mind.

Just then, the waiter brought the dishes to the table, and theirconversation came to a temporary pause.

Camille ordered a few dishes she liked, some spicy and some not. Shelooked at the three or four dishes on the table and, with a somewhatdetached expression, said to Page, "You can add whatever you like.These are all dishes I enjoy."

Page shook her head, saying, "I don't have any particular preferences,and I'm not a picky eater. I'll eat whatever you eat."

Camille responded with a simple “suit yourself.” She didn't want topressure Page; what she ate was her own choice.

They quietly ate their meal. During the meal, Camille's phone beeped,indicating a message from Sienna. Sienna asked, "Can I go out now?I'm so bored!?"

Camille replied with a short message, "Am I locking you there?"
