Chapter 1063: Love Dearly

Horace knew what Ayan was referring to, didn't he?

He remained silent for a moment and then replied in a hushed tone, "Iunderstand what you're saying. I'm just worried that her thoughts mightnot be as complicated. She might just feel a simple, direct sense ofdisrespect toward the Armstrong family or think I'm too cold-hearted inmy dealings with her parents. If our relationship were better and therewere no misunderstandings, she would probably listen to what I say.But if we have conflicts and arguments, I'm afraid she mightmisunderstand me."

Horace had always worried about this, as he knew the depth of Grace'sfeelings for her parents and how she had always relied on them in theArmstrong family. Her parents were incredibly important to her. Even ifhe disagreed with what her parents were doing or felt that it was wrong,and even though people around him, like Camille or Horace, were morecritical of her parents’ actions, her dislike was only temporary. Shehadn't really experienced any unfairness or unkindness from herparents, so Horace was concerned that she might be influenced.Horace's concerns left Ayan silent, as he had never had such thoughtsabout Camille.

As he contemplated this, his deep eyes squinted slightly, and theemotions welling up in his gaze grew even heavier.

Because Camille didn't have deep feelings for the Armstrongs or herparents and her parents hadn't been particularly good to her, shecouldn't be influenced by them. She wouldn't think of anything goodabout her parents when she had conflicts or arguments with thembecause her parents hadn't treated her well.

Since her parents’ goodness to her had been virtually non-existent, nomatter how hard she thought, she couldn't come up with somethingtruly praiseworthy about them. This made Ayan suddenly feelheartache for Camille. He gazed deeply at the woman on the videoscreen, who sat there silently watching Grace. Although her facialexpression didn't reveal any emotion, Ayan felt that she wasn't happy atthis moment.

Camille hadn't received affection from her parents, yet she had toconsole her older sister, who had grown up in the care of her parents’hands. Of course, Ayan knew that it wasn't Grace's fault. His thin lipsturned even colder, and the chill in his eyes became more apparent. Heheld his breath, maintaining silence for a long time without making asound.

It wasn't until Camille's voice came through the monitor again that hefinally broke his silence.

She asked Grace, "Have you made a decision? Do you want to leaveHance and go on a journey for a while to clear your mind? You've neverleft Hance City by yourself, right? To be honest, the outside world isn'tas chaotic as you might imagine. It's actually quite beautiful, and you'llonly realize it once you've seen it with your own eyes."

Camille couldn't help but laugh as she continued, "I must seem like ahuman trafficker to you right now, don't I? I feel like I've been pushingyou to leave Hance City and the Armstrong family. If it weren't for mynot having their favor, I'd doubt if I'm trying to get rid of you to takeeverything from the Armstrong family while you're away from HanceCity."

After expressing these thoughts, Camille felt her self-doubt intensify.She smiled helplessly. "I want to make it clear that I genuinely have noulterior motives. I don't need you to agree, and if you don't, it won'tchange our relationship. So, you must decide willingly and rationally,okay?"

Grace also smiled and said, "Cami, don't be like this, okay? I don't haveany doubts about you. I know you're not interested in anything relatedto the Armstrong family. After all, you already have more than theArmstrong family can offer. I understand that you're doing this becauseyou care about me, so don't feel any pressure, okay?"

Camille nodded, "Good, if that's how you put it, then I won't be polite.I'm doing this for your own good, but it comes with no pressure. So,relax, okay?"

Grace responded, "Okay, I get it. If leaving Hance is the best, whenwould it be?"

"Right now. Leaving immediately is the best option. The sooner, thebetter."

Camille used various words to emphasize acting quickly, ultimatelyconcluding that leaving now was the best choice.

Grace nodded slightly, not saying anything, but rather seemed deep inthought.

The silence continued for nearly half a minute before Grace finallylooked at Camille and said, "Can they come out now? Since everyoneis here, my decision isn't a secret, and they should be able to hear it,right?”

"Of course!" Camille raised her hand and gestured toward thesurveillance camera, making a series of movements that left Gracebewildered. Just moments ago, they had been discussing Horace infront of the camera, and Grace immediately felt embarrassed.

She hurriedly asked, "Cami, did they hear our conversation just now?"Camille didn't hide it and replied candidly, "They probably heard it all.”Grace gasped and her expression exploded with embarrassment.Seeing her reaction, Camille couldn't help but laugh.

The two men in the study also walked out. Horace returned to his seatin the same place and sat next to Grace. He reached out and heldGrace's hand, an intimate gesture that made Grace feel uncomfortable,especially in front of her sister, Camille.

Grace instinctively wanted to pull her hand away, but Horaceaddressed the situation directly, saying, "They already know about us,so you can't even acknowledge this much?"

Grace stopped trying to free her hand, but she couldn't bring herself tolook at Camille.

This awkwardness weighed on her.

Camille noticed and couldn't help but smile. However, Ayan raised hishand to cover her eyes and blocked her sight. He whispered, "Do weneed to keep watching? Let's focus on the matter at hand, okay?"Camille grunted softly, knowing that her somewhat jealous partnerdidn't want her looking at other men.

However, she didn't make an issue of it and followed his prompt. Shesaid, "So, what's your answer? Now that everyone is here, just tell usdirectly, okay?"

Grace adjusted her emotions and, after a few seconds, her voice begansoftly, "I've decided to leave Hance because I believe you won't harmme, and I trust that you have your reasons for doing this. I admit thatmy emotions have influenced my thinking, and I know that if I stay inHance City for too long, I'll eventually worry and willingly return to theArmstrong family because of my parents. I can't imagine theconsequences of going back, and I don't dare to think about it. So, Ithink leaving Hance City is probably the best option for me."

Grace nodded as she finished, as if making this decision was quitechallenging for her.

Watching her, Camille couldn't help but say, "It's just temporary, you'regoing out for a while, which is actually good for you. If you replace it toouncomfortable out there, you can always come back.”

Grace responded, "Yes, I understand. People have to learn to grow upand face many things. So, I believe I'll handle this."

"Okay, now that you've made your decision, don't hesitate any longer.Mr. Burris, can you arrange a suitable time for her to leave?"

"Tonight!" Horace said in a casual tone.

Grace was surprised, and Camille was also taken aback. "Tonight?""Yes, tonight," he repeated, nodding.

Grace asked, "Is it so urgent?"

She had just made the decision and expected it to be at least tomorrow.But Horace explained, "You'll go to Dane first. Mr. Simpson will arrangea place for you to stay, and early tomorrow morning, Mr. Simpson willbe going to Dane City for business. At that time, I'll replace an excuse to goalong, and then I'll escort you out of the country.”

This was something Horace had just discussed with Ayan in the study,and Ayan informed him about his business trip tomorrow, which ledHorace to make this decision immediately.
