My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 778 Negligence

Grace said, "I don't know, Mom just asked you to come back andmaybe she feels like our family hasn't been together for a long time, soplease don't refuse, okay?"

Camille fell silent for a moment and did not say anything more torefuse.

So she was going back.

Camille immediately messaged Ayan to tell him not to come and pickher up from work tonight as she had something else to do.

Less than half a minute after the message was sent, Ayan's called herdirectly.

She answered the call and heard Ayan's gentle voice on the other end,"Where are you going tonight? Do you need me to accompany you?"Camille smiled and said, "There's something going on, but I don't planon telling you, so don't bother asking, okay?"

"Are you not going to say where you're going?"

“Um, I don't want to say. Is that okay?"

Ayan was not speaking anymore, obviously he was a little unhappy.Camille's smile deepened at the corners of her mouth as she askedsoftly, "What's wrong? You're not upset, are you?"

"Who am I to be unhappy? What more can I ask of you now that I amno one but your suitor? When you are happy, you will give me a smile,and when you are not happy, you will be cold to me. Of course, I darenot say anything, and naturally I can not have any dissatisfaction, wholet me just a suitor!"

He really knew how to play pitiful.

Camille couldn't help but laugh more and more as she listened,especially when he spoke of his pursuit in such a serious manner. Itwas simply hilarious.

Camille continued to tease him, "So are you complaining to me? Doyou feel unsatisfied being my pursuer and don't want to pursue meanymore?"

"I didn't say that.”

"But I feel like you're a little emotional. Are you upset because I didn'ttell you where I'm going tonight?"

Ayan said lightly, "No."

“That's good, so shall we see each other again tomorrow?"

She didn't forget to say "bye" before ending the call.

Camille laughed uncontrollably. It was rare for her to see Ayan lose anargument and be left speechless, so she was very happy about it.However, she still sent him a message telling him that she would go tothe Armstrong family tonight.

Ayan didn?? t reply, probably because he was very angry.

Camille put down her phone and continued to work. The atmosphere inthe meeting room had been particularly harmonious and friendlyrecently.

Amber continued to boss Louise around to do the work as usual, andLouise cooperated well and just occasionally argued back a few times.Apart from that, she still finished what Amber arranged to her.

This is the work mode that Camille wants, where everyone gets alongpeacefully. Since today's workload wasn't too heavy, she finished workearly. Ayan had sent her to the museum, so she didn't drive herselfhere. Seeing that it was still early, she planned to go to Simpson Groupfor Ayan. They could have dinner together before going to theArmstrong family later.

Camille stood on the side of the road, waiting for her scheduled car toarrive while glancing at her phone's location tracker. The car was only aminute away when a white sedan pulled up beside her.

Camille tilted her head slightly and looked through the window into theback seat of the car. The window rolled down just then and as soon asshe saw who was inside, a hint of coldness flashed across her face.The man in the car smiled slightly with laughter in his voice: "Mrs.Simpson, don't you recognize me?"

"What do you want?" Camille asked icily.

"Want to have some coffee together?" he replied.

“No need for that. If you have something to say, then say it," Camillesaid coldly.

The man's expression turned chilly too as he spoke indifferently: “Mrs.Simpson isn't cooperating much, so I don't know how else I should putthis.”

"Mr. Norman, if you have nothing else left unsaid then I'll be leavingnow," Camille said coolly without any warmth on her face whatsoever;never did she expect Austin would show up here but since he managedit obviously meant he had done some research beforehand aboutwhere she would be located at this time.

Camille didn?? t care about what was going on with Austin, nor did sheknow what happened in Campole either, let alone when Austin arrivedin Hance City himself.

Austin noticed how indifferent Camilla was towards him and his smilefaded completely from his face as he spoke with an icy tone: "DoesMrs. Simpson know where Cora is?"

Camilla met Austin?? s gaze with an equally cold expression on hersbefore replying: "Mr. Norman shouldn?? t be asking me such questionsbut rather ask yourself instead! Mrs. Norman is your wife not mine, sowhy would I possibly know where she is?"

"Is that so?" Austin sneered sarcastically while speaking lightly: "SinceCora is my wife after all, then why has Mr. Simpson been keeping holdof my wife until now? What does Mr Simpson mean by doing this? Is heplanning on turning my wife into his own?"

A chill ran down Camilla?? s spine while anger surged within causingsharpness within eyes, which were filled with icy fury before retortingback sharply: "What evidence does Mr. Norman possess proving Mrs.Norman being held captive by him?"

"Do we still need proof? Since the Simpson family?? s incident anduntil now, Cora has disappeared and I haven't been able to replace her,"Mr. Norman said.

"Can't replace her? Isn't that your own fault, Mr. Norman?" Camillesneered, but she felt a hint of unease in her heart.

In truth, Camille didn't pay too much attention to Cora’s situationbecause Ayan had promised to handle it and since Cora had mentalhealth issues, she left everything up to Ayan.

So is Ayan still holding onto Cora now?

Camille frowned slightly and Austin could see the change in herexpression clearly. He was certain that Camille probably didn't knowwhere Cora was at the moment.

Austin went for broke again as he said: "Mrs. Simpson, if you think I'mat fault then what about you? Mr. Simpson is your husband and yourchild's father. Why does he keep holding onto his ex-girlfriend like this?What is he thinking or does he have other intentions with her?"

Austin asked each question slowly with a smile on his face which madeCamille's expression turn cold.

The two locked eyes for a moment when suddenly Camille's phonerang - it was the driver calling about their appointment time.

Austin noticed that she wasn't going to answer it, so he smiled faintlyagain: "Mrs. Simpson, if you can?? t tolerate your husband?? slingering feelings for someone else, then ask Mr. Simpson where theyare hiding this person from us and send her back to me. I miss my wife,OK?"

“If Mrs. Simpson wants to help him out, then just forget what I've saidtoday as being an adult means understanding one another, right?"

“I won?? t bother Mrs. Simpson anymore." Austin finished speakingbefore instructing his driver to leave immediately without waiting anylonger.

Camille stood there silently with a cold look on her face while the phonekept ringing non-stop inside of it; after nearly ten seconds passed byslowly, she finally came back around before taking a deep breath andanswering the call.

She got into the reserved car, and the driver asked, "Simpson Group,right?"

Camille did not speak, still looking as cold as ice. The driver pressedthe gas pedal and drove forward. Camille said, "Forget Simpson Group.Take me to Maple Leaves Mansion."

There are also passengers who change their address temporarily, sothe driver did not ask questions, just nodded in response.

Camille went back to Maple Leaves Mansion, not looking well all theway.

When she got back, she lay down on the sofa, unspeakably upset.

All she had on her mind was, does Ayan still keep Cora now?

Camille gave it a lot of thought, but eventually stopped thinking about itbecause it was Austin's side of the story and she wanted to hear Ayan'sanswer anyway.

But she was not calm enough to ask Ayan right away.

Camille didn't even eat dinner because she didn't have any appetite.Grace called her and offered to pick her up. She refused and droveover.

It was not too late, only about 7 p. m..

When Grace heard her car, she ran out to meet her. “I thought youwere coming over for dinner,” she said.

"I already had it." Camille got out of the car, her face pale and her voiceweak.

Grace sensed she was in a bad mood and asked, "What's wrong? Doyou feel uncomfortable?"
