Chapter 784 House Husband
“Then just accept it." Camille snorted and placed Timmy in his father'sarms. She waved at the little guy and said, "Timmy, Mommy has towork. You can play with Daddy for a while. We'll see each other later."Timmy obediently waved goodbye to Camille. He was so cute that hedidn't cry or make a fuss.
Camille returned to the museum?? s conference room, but she couldn'tfocus on her work because she was worried about Timmy and whetherAyan could handle him.
Finally, it was time to leave work. Camille quickly packed up her thingsand left the conference room with her laptop.
She also messaged Ayan. It was still ten minutes away from his arrival.Camille stood on the side of the road waiting for him.
As people left one by one, they all said goodbye as they passed byexcept for Louise.
The last person to leave was Amber who drove out of the garage in herMINI car. When she passed by where Camille stood, she stopped aswell.
Amber rolled down her window and asked Camille,"Ms. Armstrong, doyou want me to give you a ride?"
"Thank you but no thanks," replied Camille politely while knowing fullwell who Amber is.
However, Amber didn't leave just yet; instead she continued,"Ms.Armstrong, your friend might not be here so soon? If it's convenient foryou, wouldn't mind chatting with me?"
Without waiting for an answer from Camille, Amber had already pushedopen the driver's door and got out of the car. She walked around itsfront towards where Camille stood, smiling at her. "This should havebeen discussed during working hours, but there were too many peoplearound then which made it inconvenient. So I chose now. I hope youwon't mind."
Camille checked the time. Ayan still had a few minutes before arriving.Therefore, she wasn?? t busy doing anything else. She shook her headslightly and said, “If Miss Torres have something to say, then please goahead."
Amber nodded before slowly saying,"What does Ms. Armstrong thinkabout Louise?"
Camille furrowed her brows slightly. "I think how Louise is as a personis none of my business. So, I don?? t want to comment.”
"You probably doesn't like her either, right? Our company is alsodisappointed in her. We can't directly fire her because she's still undercontract, but she's really annoying on this project and it's affecting ourwork. So if Ms. Armstrong would like to, why don't we unite to get rid ofher from this project?"
Although Amber's words sounded like a question on the surface, shehad already made up her mind. She only told Camille to replace an excuseto drive Louise away together.
Camille looked at Amber coldly with no interest in what she was saying.She spoke calmly and slowly: "Miss Torres, if this is just your own ideaand you feel that you must do it, then you don't need to tell me about it.This is an internal matter for your company. Although we are workingon the same project, it is not appropriate for us to discuss this topic anyfurther.”
Camille made it clear that she did not want to be involved in their affairsor have anything more to do with Louise despite disliking her.
Amber was surprised by Camille's attitude but continued questioning:"Don't you mind what she did to you? Are you just letting go of whathappened so easily?"
“It has nothing to do with letting go of her," replied Camille coolly. "I justdon't want too much interaction with her anymore, because doing sowould mean letting go of myself as well.” Camille raised her eyebrowsand stared at Amber with increasing indifference. "Did MissTorres havea problem with her?" she asked. ?? Why do you hate her so much?You're not gonna let her go? If the Miss Torres is doing this just toplease others, it is not necessary."
Camille didn't elaborate further. There was a hint of a smile on her lipsas she caught sight of Ayan's car, so she said again, "Miss Torres,goodbye!"
Without waiting for Amber's response, Camille walked forward.
Ayan had just parked his car and Camille got into the passenger seatafter fastening her seatbelt. She turned to wave at Timmy beforelooking ahead.
The car started moving and they passed by Amber's car. Amber wasstill standing there motionless, watching them go by.
Ayan noticed her and asked, "Who is she?"
Camille replied, "She's the replacement for Louise that the companysent over. But I don't like her even more than Louise."
Although Camille didn't like Louise either, she disliked Amber evenmore because everything about her was hidden in her heart or behindpeople's backs.
Ayan took one hand off the steering wheel and held hers instead. Helooked at her gently and asked, "Do you want me to get rid of her fromthis project if you don't like her?"
Camille shook her head in refusal. "No thanks. I don't want to be a bullylike she is."
They arrived back at Maple Leaves Mansion with Timmy in tow.
Even though it was still the same house as before with nothing newadded except for Timmy today, his presence made her feel morecomplete than ever before.
Camille enjoyed this feeling very much indeed!
As soon as they entered their home again after being out all dayrunning errands etc., someone rang their doorbell once more - it turnedout that Ayan had ordered dinner delivery earlier on which includedsome porridge specially made for Timmy along with other child-friendlydishes too!
He said: "Timmy's food is specially ordered, no condiments, just salt."Camilla gave him an approving nod while raising up her thumb: “Thatdeserves a thumb up!" Ayan laughed along with her.
Since there wasn?? t any chair special for Timmy?? s use during meal,he played around nearby until they two finished eating first, which wasanother rule that Camilla insisted upon following strictly: In the casethat he is not hungry, adults must eat first; there is no need todeliberately spoil him, if he is a little older, he can sit in the dining chairand eat with everyone.
She hoped that Timmy could develop a good habit of eatingindependently, without being chased around the world to be fed duringevery meal. It would be exhausting for her otherwise.
While having dinner with Ayan, Camille suddenly thought of the sceneearlier in the afternoon when he brought Timmy over. She couldn't helpbut exclaim, "Mr. Simpson, to be honest, you're quite suited to being astay-at-home dad. Have you ever considered it?"
Ayan was eating his food when he met Camille's gaze. "If you think I'mcapable, I can give it a try," he said.
"Really?" Camille's eyes lit up.
Ayan nodded. "Yes."
"But if you become a full-time stay-at-home dad, won't it be a waste ofyour talents? What will people say when they replace out that you havegiven up everything to be a stay-at-home dad? They might even spit onme."
“It won't matter because this is my choice and our personal business. Ithas nothing to do with anyone else,” Ayan replied seriously.
Camille laughed and said, "Okay then, let's start tomorrow!"
"Yes, we can do that but I have one condition,” Ayan added.
"What condition?"
“If I become a stay-at-home dad for our family, shouldn't you providesome security for me? Who will support me while I take care of Timmyat home?" he asked confidently.
It was hard to believe these words were coming from someone worthbillions of dollars! Even if he returned home now, the Simpson Groupcould still be managed by professionals, so would he really lackmoney?
Camille smiled at him knowingly as she realized what he was doing.Ayan continued with conviction in his voice: "So are you going tosupport me then?"
Camille froze in shock and stared at him without blinking: "So you wantme to support you?"
