My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 757 Willingness

In the quiet night, the stars in the sky were shining brightly. The moonwas like a silver plate, hanging high in the sky.

In a small courtyard, there was a young man sitting cross-legged on astone bench. His eyes were closed and his breathing was steady. Helooked peaceful and serene.

This young man was named Li Qiye. He had been cultivating for manyyears and had already reached an incredible level of power. However,he knew that there was still much more to learn and experience.

As he sat there meditating, he suddenly felt something stirring withinhim. It was as if his soul had been awakened from a long slumber.

Li Qiye opened his eyes slowly and looked up at the starry sky abovehim. A smile appeared on his face as he realized what had happened.He had finally found what he had been searching for all these years -true willingness!

For so long, Li Qiye had been searching for something that would givehim purpose and direction in life. He wanted to replace something thatwould make him truly happy and fulfilled.

Now, after all these years of hard work and dedication to his craft, LiQiye finally understood what it meant to be truly willing - willing toaccept whatever life threw at him with open arms; willing to embraceevery challenge as an opportunity for growth; willing to love without fearor reservation; willing to live each day with passion and purpose.

With this newfound sense of willingness burning within him like a flame,Li Qiye knew that nothing could stop him from achieving greatness inthis world!

Kian nodded in agreement, but also had some doubts: "What if theWalker family changes their mind and allows Molly to marry Preston?""Do you think Luke doesn't know who Preston really is? If the Walkerfamily is so insistent on not allowing Molly to be with Preston, even if itmeans she has to get an abortion, then it must be because Mr. andMrs. Walker have a problem with him. Otherwise, no parent would lettheir child get hurt like that."

Ayan was a father himself and understood how much parents love andtolerate their children. If Mr. and Mrs. Walker were willing to sever tieswith Molly over this issue, then there must be something serious thatPreston did.

Ayan told Kian: "You can start reaching out to Mr. and Mrs. Walker asplanned, but do it slowly and gradually from the perspective ofsomeone who has also been hurt by Preston's actions. Only when theyfeel a connection will they believe us.”

Kian understood but knew he couldn't rush things when contacting Mr.and Mrs. Walker.

Meanwhile, as one of the parties involved in this drama, Prestonremained unaffected for now. He still went about his business at themuseum with Jensonandthe project managerdiscussing constructiontimelinesand ceremony arrangements.

The team of architects led by Camille continued working hard, andeveryone got along well except for Louise. She was treated poorlybecause she was only an assistant, and Amber didn't evenacknowledge her existence. The other architects gave her menial taskslike making tea or running errands. Louise felt extremely frustrated bythis treatment, but she couldn't afford to lose her job so she kept quiet.One morning after lunch, the team returnedto work at themuseum.Amber asked Louise to buy coffee for everyone except Camille. WhenAmber noticedthatCamille wasn't having any coffee, she asked," Whyisn't Architect Armstrong drinking any?"

Camille smiled faintly,"l don't want any, you guys go ahead."

Amber didn't insist, but once Louise left, she said,"Is ArchitectArmstrong still mad at Louise? She shouldn't bother payingattentiontoher. Louise brought all of these problems upon herself;shedeserves everything that's happening right now.”

Amber knew that the company was disappointed in Louise, so it wasnatural for her to have a bad attitude towards her. Especially afterseeing Louise's apology to Camille online and knowing that she hadoffended Camille, Amber had an even worse expression towardsLouise.

However, Camille didn't like Amber because of this. They justmaintained a normal working relationship as colleagues.

Louise bought coffee for everyone and distributed them one by one.When it was Amber's turn, she didn't reach out to take it for a long time.So Louise held it there with a stiff expression on her face and said,"Architect Torres, your coffee.”

Amber seemed not to have heard anything and raised her head todiscuss design issues with others.

Louise couldn't stand it anymore and put the coffee directly on the leftside of Amber's drawing paper. But when Amber reached out to grabthe paper, the coffee spilled all over the table and onto the paper.Annoyed, Amber stood up and glared at Louise asking: "Are you blind?"Louise also became angry: “I've called you several times already! Whois at fault if you didn't hear me?"

Amber sneered: "Assistant Holland, don't forget your identity. You aremy assistant now. What's wrong with buying me a cup of coffee later?"“I am an assistant but not your servant.”

"Is there any difference? Now please clean up here quickly withoutaffecting everyone else's work progress." After saying this, Amber satback down in her chair again.

All eyes were fixed on Louise who felt hot cheeks from being humiliatedbut had no choice but to do what she was told.

Nowadays Louise couldn't get in touch with any project-related things;instead she did some odd jobs which were completely opposite fromwhat an architect should be doing. So she began reflecting on whatcontinuing like this would bring herself?

The fear made her feel uncertain about future prospects; She felt thatonly one person could change this situation - herself.

She followed closely behind Camille while they went into the restroomtogether where she blocked Camille at its entrance.

Camille frowned asking: "What do you want?"

Louise pursed her lips and then bowed ninety degrees to Camille. "I'msorry, Camille. I sincerely apologize to you. My selfishness and jealousycaused you a lot of trouble before, and I'm sorry. I don't expect you toforgive me because everything is my own fault, really sorry."

Louise kept saying sorry, making Camille wonder if she was beingthreatened by Ayan again.

Camille frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Did Ayan contactyou?"

Louise was taken aback for a moment but quickly denied it. "No, Mr.Simpson didn't contact me. It's my own decision.”

Camille sneered coldly and said lightly, "So the apologies in the privateroom at the restaurant and on the internet weren't your own decision?"Louise's face turned pale as she bit her teeth hard to explain herself: "Iadmit that some of those apologies were because of Mr. Simpson'sinfluence but now I am sincerely apologizing to you from my heart. Iknow that my mistake has caused trouble for you, and fortunately yourhusband is able to solve it for you through Mr. Simpson. So pleasedon't argue with me anymore, I hope we can just let this go."

Camille's face remained indifferent as a hint of coldness appeared inher eyes. She said,"If I say no, wouldn't it be moral blackmailing?"Louise stiffened as she dared not force Camille. However, since shehad already spoken, she did not want to miss this opportunity. Shesaid,"No, I won't do that. I know everything is my fault. I shouldn't askfor your forgiveness. But there's nothing else I can do. My companyknows that Mr. Simpson doesn't value me anymore since offendingboth him and yourself. Nowadays, I'm only an assistant architect atAmber's company. I really have no other way out. You're the only onewho can help me. Please!"

As Louise spoke, she couldn't control herself any longer, and tearsstreamed down her face.

Throughout all this, Camille remained unresponsive, staring at Louiseindifferently like a stranger.

Louise had completely abandoned all her pride. She regrettedprovoking Camilla. If not, she wouldn't have ended up like this. In thebeginning, it seemed like leaving this project would be fine, but noweven if she left, Ayan could make sure that she would never get aheadin this industry. Louise talked a lot, but no matter what, she couldn'tmove Camilla emotionally;she still maintained an indifferent expressionthroughout their conversation.

Camille said, "Louise, since you know that what you did to me caused alot of hurt, isn't it contradictory for you to come and ask for my helpnow? If it were you, would you help someone who had hurt youbefore?"

Camille never thought she would speak up for Louise. What Louise didwas hurtful to her, even though she didn't suffer any direct harmbecause Ayan handled the situation well. But that doesn't mean shecan forgive Louise as if nothing happened, right?

This is exactly what Louise thinks. She believes that Camille hasn'treally been hurt, so why can't she forgive her once?

Louise emphasized how difficult and painful her current situation is, andpleaded with Camille, "All I need is for you to say a few words to helpme. I won't have to suffer like this anymore. Do you want me to diebefore you're willing to help? If you're willing to speak up for me, I'llleave this project immediately. Please, can you do it?"
