Chapter 1067: Slowly

Afterward, Camille spoke softly, "Alright, I understand. I'll be back now."The call ended here.

Camille remained silent, staring coldly at Page, who had no reaction forquite some time.

Page took the initiative, saying, "I didn't deceive you, did 1? Yourmother-in-law agreed to dinner at the Simpson's mansion; otherwise, Iwouldn't have come to replace you. Cami, you just don't believe me."Camille didn't respond to her words, maintaining her cold demeanor.She said, "You'd better put away those ulterior motives. If you keeppushing me too hard, I can't guarantee what I will do.”

Camille's threat carried a clear edge of coldness in her eyes.

Once she had spoken, Page's face stiffened, and she stopped talking.Camille didn't listen to any more of Page's words and walked past her.The driver was already waiting on the roadside because Camille andSienna hadn't driven here. Camille got into the car directly.

In the distance, Page followed but suggested, "Why don't you ride inmy car?"

Camille ignored her.

Seeing this, Sienna gave Page a disdainful look and commented, "Mrs.Armstrong, you've already got Cami to agree to dinner at the Simpson'smansion. Do you need to ask for more? One should be content; beingtoo greedy can make people lose what they already have."

Page didn't look too pleased, but she didn't say anything more.

The car doors were already closed, and Camille spoke to the driver,"Take me back to the Simpson's mansion."

The driver nodded, starting the car.

Camille glanced at Sienna and asked, "Do you have plans for theevening? Would it be convenient for you to have dinner with me at theSimpson's mansion?"

Sienna responded, "I'm free. Rex has a business dinner.”

"Alright," Camille said, her tone low and her mood somewhatinexplicably downcast. As a result, her overall demeanor was not verycheerful.

Seeing Camille like this, Sienna felt a pang of sympathy. She tookCamille's hand, leaned gently against her shoulder, and asked tenderly,"What are you thinking?"

Camille, her voice tinged with a hint of anger, replied, “I'm thinking whysomeone is so shameless. I know she has a great favor to me becauseshe gave birth to me, but she didn't raise me and never showed anymotherly affection. Is it really necessary to maintain such a mother-daughter relationship? She only seeks me out because she thinks I'museful now. She doesn't care about me or my feelings. That's what I'mthinking."

Camille was indignant, and her face was full of anger.

Sienna followed along with her and continued the rant, "Exactly, there'sno need to maintain this kind of mother-daughter relationship. Now sheonly thinks you're valuable and that's why she's bothering you. So, youdon't have to be bothered by her at all. Don't feel like your refusal isbeing unfilial or heartless. Just be yourself and know what you aredoing. Alright?"

Camille nodded in agreement, and she was genuinely thankful forhaving a friend like Sienna by her side. Every time she had self-doubts,Sienna could easily comfort her and keep her from overthinking orworrying too much.

Camille and Sienna's friendship was about companionship and mutualsupport when needed.

They arrived at the Simpson's mansion soon.

Camille had the driver wait at the Simpson's mansion, as he wouldneed to take her and Sienna back later in the evening.

Upon Camille's arrival at the Simpson's mansion, Page had not yetshown up. This gave Camille ample time to inquire with Talia.

Camille asked, "Mom, why did you agree to let her come over?"

Talia sighed in helplessness, but due to Page being Camille's mother,she couldn't express everything on her mind. She simply said, “It's justfor dinner. Don't worry; nothing will happen. If you replace it inappropriate, Iwon't agree in the future, okay?"

Camille looked at Talia's hesitations and asked mildly, “Mom, is theresomething you can't tell me?"

Talia replied, "It's not like that. There's nothing I can't say.”

Camille pressed further, "Then why didn't you tell me?"

With a sigh, Talia explained, "It happened at a gathering this afternoon.After returning to Hance, I hadn't met up with friends, so I had tea withRex's mother and some old friends. Unexpectedly, she found out aboutit somehow, and in front of everyone, she said she hadn't seen Timmyin a long time and that any misunderstandings between you and herwere resolved. She wanted to have dinner at our place tonight to seeTimmy. I couldn't refuse, especially since she's your mother."

Talia's tone held a touch of helplessness and embarrassment.

Given the recent altercation between Brody, Page, and the Simpsonfamily, Page should have kept her distance from Talia. But Pageintentionally came forward, and Talia didn't want to refuse her,especially considering the friends who were present at the gathering.She didn't want Camille to become the subject of gossip.

Camille immediately visualized the scene upon hearing this.

She sneered, and her eyes reflected deeper anger. She said, "Mom,please don't do this in the future just because of me. Don't feel like youcan't refuse because you think she's my mother, or because youbelieve that saying no might have an impact on me. Really, don't dothis. I've already made up my mind. As long as I have a clearconscience and you know what kind of person I am, it's enough.”Camille took a deep breath, struggling to contain her emotions, whichhad been ignited once again.

Talia quickly reassured Camille, "Just let it go this time, Camille. Iinvited her over; it's just for dinner. But next time, no matter what shesays, I won't agree anymore.”

“Mom, I'm not blaming you. I just don't want you to compromise for mysake," Camille said. She disliked Page's attempt to force them throughthese means.

They spoke openly, and Sienna couldn't help clapping her hands,saying, "Can we sit down and talk?"

Camille and Talia exchanged smiles and agreed, "Of course.”

The three of them had just taken their seats when Page arrived at theSimpson's mansion in her car.

Upon hearing the sound of the car outside and the butler's reminder,Camille's expression grew somewhat distant.

However, thanks to the gestures from Talia and Sienna, Camillerefrained from showing too much emotion.

Talia promptly rose from her seat, recognizing the need to maintainappearances.

Page entered the hall on her side, immediately waving and greetingTalia. When she saw Camille and Sienna already seated on the couch,she chuckled and said, "Cami said we should have a race to see whogets here first. I thought it should be me. Seems like I'm getting sloweras I age. My driving speed is much slower than these young folks."Talia only responded with a faint smile and didn't engage further.Camille and Sienna, seated on the sofa, remained silent.

A servant followed Page, quietly informing her, "Madam, this is broughtby Mrs. Armstrong.”

Talia looked over and immediately responded, "Well, there's no need tobring gifts.”

Page smiled and said, "How could that be? Although we're family, andwhile the Simpson family lacks nothing, we should still observe properetiquette. Besides, Timmy has grown, so I've prepared some snacks forhim, as well as a few toys and clothes. As a grandmother, I bring theseas a gesture of goodwill, so I won't accept any refusal. You must takethem.”

Talia nodded and said, "If Timmy's Grandma insists, I won't refuse.”She then instructed the servant, "Please take them and store themproperly.”

The servant nodded in understanding, but instead of taking the itemsdirectly upstairs, they were placed on a nearby cabinet. After all, beingan experienced servant in the Simpson's mansion, if Talia werecompletely satisfied, she would have them taken upstairs right away.Since she said to accept, it indicated some level of dissatisfaction.
