My Ex-husband Begs Me Back -
Chapter 236 Like A Stranger
Camille narrowed her eyes slightly.
There was Sophia's voice explaining, “my father sent someone to getsome good tea and asked me to visit your grandfather on his behalf. Itdoesn't seem appropriate for me to go alone. Can I come with you so itwon't be awkward, ok?"
Ayan was silent. His face was indifferent and there was a slight frownon his brow as if he was thinking about something.
Camille also remained silent. The phone was still on the line.
Sophia quickly asked, “is it inconvenient? If so, it doesn't matter, I willbring it to grandpa some other time. I just thought that you and Camillehappen to go there and I have time too. But it doesn't matter, I will replaceanother time!"
"We can go together,” he said in a low voice.
Sophia's face didn't change much, and she asked, "that won't interruptyour family's dinner, will it?"
"No."
Ayan said casually.
Sophia was relieved.
After hearing their conversation, Camille hung up without saying a wordand texted Aya, "Since Sophia is coming, I'll go first and let them know.You and Sophia can go there directly from the office. No need to cometo pick me up.”
She didn't want to go to meet them in the office.
Camille put her phone away, but never took it out again, so she didn'tknow if Ayan had returned any of her messages.
She asked the driver to take her back to the Simpson's Manson. Shebought some fruit and had nothing to lose.
Talia, who had not seen her for several days, was still caring and veryfond of her. Fletcher was also kind and gentle. As for Grandpa, ofcourse, he loved her most.
After chatting with them, she said, "Mom, please ask them to preparetwo more dishes. Sophia will come with Ayan later, saying she iscoming to visit Grandpa.”
Talia was stunned. She stared at Camille but didn't see anything wrong.She said, "Sophia is coming too? Why is she coming with Ayan?"Fletcher knew Sophia and responded, "Camille told you, she's here tosee dad."
The old Simpson asked, "Who's Sophia?"
"She's from the Benson family in Dane City. She went to school withAyan."
The old Simpson nodded his head to show that he understood, thensaid lightly,” as I am old, I'll try not to meet guests at home in the future.It was many years ago that we were close to the Benson family. Allthese years, we have been living our own lives."
Camille laughed after hearing what the old Simpson said.
By saying this, the old Simpson was defending her and telling her thatno one was more important than her.
Then talking about Camille's baby, Talia says, "Camille, there are only afew months left before the baby will come. You don't need anything toprepare for the baby. I have everything ready for the baby, both for youand the baby. Then you have to start thinking about the name."
Camille smiled, unconsciously put her hand over her stomach, andwhispered, “Let grandpa and dad decide."
The old Simpson and Fletcher both laughed. "Okay, we will think aboutit and you'll pick.”
Camille nodded. Talia then asked, "would you like to schedule a testwhen the baby is older?"
"No, let nature decides, what do you think, Grandpa?"
"I listen to you. Either boy or girl will be the Simpson family's first childand the Simpson family's treasure.”
The old Simpson said firmly.
Talia said, "I just thought it would be easier to buy clothes if I knew thegender, but it wouldn't matter if I didn't know. I'll prepare for a boy and agirl. I don’t need to save money for that.
They were chatting, and the maid reminded them, "Mr. Simpson cameback."
Just then, Ayan and Sophia came in through the door. Sophia washolding an exquisite and high-end tea gift box in her hand. She greetedpolitely and modestly to the old Simpson, Fletcher, and Talia, "Grandpa,uncle and aunt, how are you? I'm really sorry to bother you suddenly."After that, she apologized for disturbing their family dinner.
Grandpa looked pale and said, "you're welcome. I hope you don't mindjoining us for a casual meal.”
Seeing her friendly attitude, they were naturally polite to her.
Later, Sophia talked with Fletcher and grandpa about the cooperationbetween the Benson Group and the Simpson Group. Although she wasa girl, she had a boy's spirit. She was the only girl in her family, so shewould naturally take over the company in the future.
Sophia took the initiative to talk, "My father is especially worried thatthe husband I will replace can’t manage the company well, so now I haveto work hard.”
"In today's society, men and women are equal. Every couple needs tocomplete each other," the old Simpson said, "if both husband and wifefocus on the company, it will no longer look like a family. Ayan's parentswere like that, and so were Ayan and Camille.”
Sophia's face twitched and she smiled. "Grandpa's right and my dadmeant it too. If I can meet a man who can take care of me and theBenson Group, I think I'd be willing to step back and be a good wifeand mother."
The old Simpson just smiled and didn’t reply to her.
There was a short silence. Then, Talia said, "Camille, how's Grandma?""She's stable for now. She'll be ready for surgery when she feelsbetter.”
"Well, that's good. Make sure to let us know about the surgery. You'repregnant and you can't be too tired. Let Ayan take care of her or I canalso bring meals to her. "
"Yes, I know, Mother, " she said.
Camille and Talia were like mother and daughter. Sophia couldn't helpbut exclaimed, "aunt, you are so nice to Camille. My mother passedaway so early. God bless me to have a mother-in-law like you."
Talia smiled faintly. "You will."
They knew that Sophia's mother passed away early. As a mother and awoman, Talia felt sad for her.
During the meal, Sophia talked about her school days and mentionedthat Talia used to prepare food for them. As she was talking, she said, "Ireally appreciate what you did, aunt.”
"That was in the past, and I'm embarrassed that Sophia stillremembers.”
"Aunt, you still call me Sophia, you have been keeping calling meSophia, I feel like a stranger to you."
Talia smiled and didn't say anything, but she didn't know if she said yesor no.
Camille had not spoken much since Sophia and Ayan came. If she did,she was answering Talia or the old Armstrong. She did not look at Ayanthe whole time, deliberately ignoring him.
After dinner, it was getting late. Since Sophia was here, Talia askedthem to go home early without keeping them to have a chat.
As the three of them went out of the Simpson's Manson, Camille said,“I have to go to the hospital to see my grandmother, so I won't besharing the same car with you."
Camille came here with the driver separately and she would ask thedriver to take her back.
As soon as she finished talking, Ayan looked at her with dark eyes.“Let's get in the same car. After we send Sophia back to the hotel, I'll gowith you to the hospital to see grandma, ok?"
