Chapter 785 Bet

"Um, I think that's fine. So it's settled then?" Ayan continued to go alongwith this topic without changing his expression, and then said steadily,“In order to get into the role of being a dad stay at home earlier, I'mgoing to stay over tonight. I want to adapt early to taking care of Timmyat night. Hmm?"

He spoke so righteously that if Camille hadn't started the conversationjust now, she would probably have thought that every word from himwas just a prelude for what he had just said.

After finishing his dinner, Ayan picked up a tissue and wiped his handsbefore saying, "I'll go feed Timmy. You finish eating and I'll come washthe dishes later.”

Ayan was really good at taking care of things around the house. Whatshould she do? Camille felt like picking up her phone and recording thisscene before selling it to gossip media outlets - it would definitely causequite a stir.

Who would have thought that Simpson Group's CEO who handlesbillion-dollar orders and partnerships could actually be so proficient infeeding his child and washing dishes?

Camille was stunned for several seconds before slowly recoveringherself and continuing to eat.

But she didn't need to be polite with Ayan - after all, they were still inthe stage where he was pursuing her so naturally she should enjoyherself.

Camille smiled as she watched him feed Timmy and then finishhousehold chores together.

And all she needed to do now was relaxation.

After they finished playing with Timmy for awhile once he fell asleep(which usually happened around 10 pm), only the two of themremained awake.

It wasn't early anymore even though Ayan had just mentioned stayinghere overnight - did he really need to stay here?

Although they had done everything they needed or wanted to dotogether already... staying overnight seemed kind of... well... awkward.Yes... a little awkward...

Because they hadn't lived together for such a long time, there seemedlike there were feelings between them which couldn't be expressedclearly. Therefore Camille felt particularly uneasy about everythingwhile sitting on edge next to him on sofa, scrolling through her phonescreen absentmindedly .

The TV played an indie movie which had recently been released;watching movies this late often made people feel drowsy easily. AndCamille kept yawning repeatedly instead .

Ayan also noticed this and asked in a low voice, "Are you tired?"

"Um, a little bit."

"Then go take a shower and rest, hmm?"

Camille nodded gently, but she didn't move.

He asked, "What's wrong?"

Camille glanced at him and asked, "Do you really want to stayovernight?"

"Timmy is here, and I'm afraid you'll be tired, so I stayed to take care ofhim. You wouldn't refuse my request, would you? If I really wanted totake advantage of the situation, why would I wait for Timmy to come?Think about it yourself - how many times I could ask to stay but didn't?Tonight Timmy is here and I'm worried he might have trouble sleepingat night. With me around, I can share the burden with you. Is thatokay?"

His tone was soft and his every word was filled with irresistibleseduction, which gave Camille no reason to say no.

She nodded unconsciously, which meant that she had agreed.

So when Ayan took her hand and walked towards the bedroom, shewas still in a daze and hadn't really reacted yet.

It wasn't until she was standing under the shower head, taking ashower, that she realized Ayan had brainwashed her.

This man's way of speaking was just a series of excuses, making itimpossible for her to replace any reason or excuse to refuse him.

In hindsight, it seems a bit too scary. If he were really plotting againsther, she clearly wouldn't be a match for Ayan.

On this night, with Timmy here, nothing could possibly happen. Timmyslept on the left side, Camille in the middle, and Ayan naturally slept onthe right side.

His reason was that he was worried about crushing Timmy, so he feltmore at ease with her sleeping in the middle. However, thiscontradicted what he just said about taking care of Timmy.

But they were already lying down, what else could she do?

Couldn't she just drive him away, right?

Camille was probably really tired, after all she had been busy at themuseum all day, so she fell asleep pretty quickly.

Ayan heard the steady breathing beside him, and slowed down hismovements to sit up gently, leaning against the headboard. He wasn'tparticularly tired, especially in this atmosphere and moment. It hadbeen the first time like this ever since Timmy was born - the three ofthem sleeping together in one bed.

This moment stirred up a ripple in his heart, leaving him unable to calmdown for a long time.

He reached for the phone beside him, took a picture of the woman andchild next to him, and made it his phone wallpaper.

His gaze and expression became gentle, something that had neverbeen shown to anyone before.

The satisfaction was only temporary, as the issue between him andCamille had not been resolved yet.

The night was beautiful, and Camille slept well.

Timmy didn't wake up in the middle of the night either because hismother was beside him. He slept well too. However, he woke up a littleearly the next morning. Ayan was worried that he would wake upCamille, so he took him to the living room to play.

Ayan made milk for Timmy and sat with him while he ate breakfast untilCamille woke up.

Camille saw Ayan sitting in the living room with Timmy and felt a littleembarrassed when she faced Ayan. "Did you get up early? Why didn'tyou call me?" she asked.

“Not long ago. I can handle it without calling you,” Ayan pointed tobreakfast on the table and said, "You eat first. Later I'll have my drivertake you to the museum while I wait at home for Mom to come pick upTimmy before going to work."

"Okay," Camille nodded.

After eating breakfast quickly and tidying herself a bit, Camille wentstraight to work at her company.

Around 9 o'clock, Talia arrived to pick up Timmy, so Ayan was a littlelate going to the office today. However, Kian arrived nearly an hourearly and waited downstairs at Maple Leaves Mansion.

Once Ayan got in the car, Kian drove towards Simpson Group. Duringthe ride, Kian gave a brief summary of his day's work and then thingsquieted down.

About halfway through their journey, Kian's phone suddenly rang. Theyhappened to be at a red light so he stopped the car before answering:"Hello!"

It's unclear what was said on the other end of the line but Kian's facechanged slightly: "Okay, I understand. We'll talk when Mr. Simpson getsback to the office.”

After ending the call, Kian turned his head towards Mr. Simpson in theback seat and said: "Mr. Simpson, something is wrong!"

Kian told Ayan about what he had just learned but there wasn't muchreaction from him; his face just turned slightly indifferent with a hint offurrowed brows - no other emotions were shown.

Kian asked: "Mr. Simpson, do you think it could be on us?"

Ayan narrowed his eyes without saying anything, which left Kain feelinguncertain.

At that same time...

In Hance City Museum conference room...

Everyone was working diligently with their heads down; even thoughthey weren't working in their company offices, they still had projects thatneeded completing within regular business hours - they just didn't haveto clock-in or out.

So after working for quite some time someone noticed that Louisewasn't there today, which was unusual, since people were rarely absentfor more than an hour or two during work hours.

Everyone exchanged glances while silently guessing why she might notbe here today as their eyes fell upon Amber who sat where Louiseusually did.

However, Amber didn?? t seem too concerned about it as if she didn??t care at all, which made Camille suspicious especially consideringwhat Amber had said yesterday:

Was Louise fired? Or she just retreated from this project?
