My Ex-husband Begs Me Back -
Chapter 1077: Wait A Moment
Chapter 1077: Wait a Moment
Ayan found himself in a deeply emotional state due to the situation withCamille. Sophia was aware of the matter and suggested that Ayan dealwith Camille's situation first. If it became too complicated, he couldhead back to Hance City.
Ayan didn't agree. Since he had come here, he knew he had to resolvethe work-related issues before leaving; otherwise, this trip would be invain.
Camille, on the other hand, had also received the news. Although shehad seen similar videos before, she never expected the situation toescalate to this level. She couldn't help but laugh, glancing at Sienna."Does she want me dead to stop, huh?" Camille asked, her questionwas accompanied by a smile. However, her eyes glistened with tears.Page's actions had truly exceeded her expectations. She hadn'tanticipated that Page would go to such extremes. Now, Page seemedto be not just crazy but perhaps even delusional.
Sienna quickly reassured her, "Don't say that. Whatever she wants todo is her personal choice. If she had the capability, would she act like aclown to seek attention?"
Sienna let out a disdainful huff and walked over to Camille, comfortingher in a low voice, "Don't overthink it, don't carry this burden. This isn'tyour fault, and it's not real. You need to believe in yourself. Only whenyou have faith in yourself can you overcome the public opinion. Youunderstand?"
Camille bit her lip and had a somber expression on her face. Heremotions weren't great, and her demeanor reflected her melancholy.After taking a deep breath and adjusting her mood, she continued, "Ibelieve in myself, and I know I'm not that kind of person. But the wayshe's pushing me... I can't help but feel like we might not share agenuine mother-daughter relationship."
Camille had entertained this thought before, but now she was moreconvinced than ever. Perhaps Page's disapproval of her was becauseshe wasn't her biological daughter. Since Brody had already betrayedher, their marital relationship had been unfaithful. She wondered if shemight be Brody's child with someone else, leading to Page'slongstanding dislike of her.
Although Brody hadn't treated her that well either, had he?
Camille's thoughts grew increasingly chaotic, and she felt like her mindwas wandering. She helplessly smiled and said, "What kind of personis she, after all? What is she thinking? What's the benefit of doing this?"Camille couldn't replace answers that satisfied her, and her mind was inturmoil. She was making an effort to control her emotions, but she wasstill somewhat agitated. Sienna had already sent everyone else away towork on different tasks, leaving only the two of them.
Sienna advised her, "If they treat you like they're not your real parents,then just consider them as not your real parents. After all, their actionsare worse than those of strangers. She likes to put on a show; let herdo it. We don't need to pay attention.”
Camille nodded lightly and said, "I know, I don't need to pay attention.It's just that seeing all this stuff annoys me."
Camille let out a deep sigh just as Sienna was about to speak. At thatmoment, her phone rang.
Glancing at the caller ID, it was Ayan calling.
Sienna also noticed and said, "You can take the call; I'll step out for adrink of water. We'll finish work early, and I'll take you out for somegood food. I recently found a hidden gem for delicious food."
Camille nodded with pursed lips, and Sienna left the meeting room.Camille pressed the answer button, and Ayan's voice came throughimmediately. He asked in his gentle tone, "What are you up to?"Camille responded with a voice so light that it seemed she wasunaware of the current situation, though how could Ayan not knowabout the online situation?
Puckering her lips, she replied, "I'm in a meeting."
Ayan uttered an agreeing sound, then casually asked, "Do you missme?"
"Not much.”
"Really?"
"Really."
Ayan let out a light hum and teased, "You heartless little thing. It alwaysfeels like I'm the one missing you more. Have you finally got mewrapped around your finger? If those boring internet friends saw ourdynamic, wouldn't they be surprised and think they're blind?"
Ayan spoke casually and with humor. Listening to his tone, Camillecouldn't help but laugh. She then continued in a light tone, "Whoknows? They probably think I have a heart of stone. I didn't even visitmy own mother in the hospital. And I even harmed my own mother forthe sake of my ex-husband's family. People like me must have beendumped by you, right?"
She self-deprecatingly laughed, causing Ayan's expression to freeze fora moment. Although his eyes displayed concern, she couldn't see it.His voice, however, remained unchanged, as he said, "So, they're justblind. They have no idea about the truth of the situation. These peopleneed to learn that speaking without understanding the facts hasconsequences. I feel that the last apology was too lenient. We shouldhave just locked them up."
"The police station probably can't accommodate so many people, canit? Besides, imprisoning them would only give them what they want,and we'd have to bear the cost of their food and lodging. It's not cost-effective, and it's giving them too much importance, isn't it?"
"Yeah, you're right. So don't take their words to heart. Don't let theirbaseless rumors affect your emotions. People who care about youknow who you are, and that's all that matters. As for those who don'tcare about you, why bother caring about them?"
After receiving a double dose of advice from Ayan and Sienna, Camillehad completely clarified her thoughts and gained a clear perspective.She pursed her lips and spoke with a cheerful tone, "Yes, yes, you'reright. I don't care about them, and it's not worth my attention."
Ayan relaxed a little when he heard her speak this way. He hatedseeing Camille upset.
Then, he said to Camille, "Do you want to come to Dane City to keepme company?"
Camille frowned slightly and replied, "Do you want me to go onvacation with you in Dane City?"
“If you'd like, I can.”
"Aren’t you busy?" After all, during the trip to Dane City, he had beenconstantly occupied, and it felt like he had no time for a vacation. Heseemed extremely busy and preoccupied.
Ayan said, "If you want a vacation, I can make time for it."
Camille responded, "No thanks. I don't have much to do, and I'm ingood spirits. At least now, I don't feel uncomfortable anymore. I'm livingmy life as it comes, and I'm taking things as they come. I don't want toforce anything, and I'm okay with that.”
Camille took a deep breath and said to Ayan, "But there's one thing youneed to clarify with me. It's not that you don't want me."
"Alright, I'll clarify it for you. It's you who doesn't want me. Is thatbetter?" Ayan's tone carried a hint of reluctance.
Camille couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this and replied, “I didn'tthink that way. I just want you to tell them that neither of us rejects theother. It's all just a bit of fun."
Ayan, hearing this, seemed to let go of any remaining displeasure.Without ending the call with Camille, he told her, "Wait for a couple ofminutes."
Camille then heard him saying a few things to Kian on the other end,but his voice was too soft for her to make out clearly.
In less than two minutes, Ayan spoke to Camille, "Check Twitter!"Camille knew that he had just posted an official statement on theircompany's Twitter account.
She opened the Simpson Group's official Twitter page, and it seemedlike they had boosted the post. Even though it had only been posted fora short while, there were already numerous replies and retweets frompopular bloggers.
The message was centered around Ayan's statement that neither henor Camille rejected the other. Even if someone were to reject theother, it would be Camille rejecting him, but he would never not wantCamille.
