Chapter 829: Business Trip

After thinking it over, Camille said seriously, “I'l decide on the day in thenext two days. Ayan is preparing for a business trip to Dane, so we cango to Flento first and spend a few days with you before heading toDane."

"So, you're bringing him along to torture me? Can't we have our ownalone time without him?" Sienna complained, feeling displeased withCamille's behavior. It seemed like she had completely forgotten abouttheir friendship now that she had a man in her life, and the thoughtmade Sienna unhappy.

Camille sensed it in Sienna’s tone and understood that she was justventing without truly meaning it. Camille knew that Sienna didn'tactually think that way or get angry because of it.

However, Camille also recognized Sienna’s current state and knew thatshe must be feeling down. She had returned to Flento City alonebecause of certain reasons, and there were many pressures weighingon her that she couldn't share directly with others.

There were probably a lot of things they needed to talk about, soCamille suggested, "I'll probably be going to Flento with him, but I canassure you that I'll give you all of my time. As for him, well, he canentertain himself!"

"Can you really do that?"

"Hmm, I believe I can. So, can you trust me?"

"Alright, I can trust you, but if you can't keep your promise, I'll beangry!" Sienna said lightly.

"Okay, I won't let you down.”

The topic circled back to when she could truly start going to Flento City.Camille sighed silently and asked in a low voice, "Should I ask Ayantomorrow? It's late now, and after what just happened, I don't really feellike talking to him."

"That's fine. If he doesn't agree, then you can use your charms!"Sienna suggested.

"I see that you're in a better mood now. So, let's leave it at that." Aftersaying that, Camille hung up the phone without any hesitation.

She tossed her phone aside and felt like it was a hot potato. Especiallywhen Sienna mentioned using charms, the image that came to mind...tsk tsk tsk, it was something she definitely couldn't do.

But then she suddenly thought of something. Did Ayan also think shewas using her charms earlier?

Camille spent the whole night with that thought in her mind, whichresulted in her waking up the next day with dark circles under her eyeswhen she had breakfast with Ayan.

Seeing her tired appearance, Ayan asked, "What's wrong? Are youfeeling unwell?"

Camille shook her head, "Just a bit sleepy.”

Ayan peeled a boiled egg for her and handed it to her, a gentle smile onhis lips. "Is it because I'm not by your side, so you didn't sleep well?"Camille hesitated for a moment but quickly denied, "No, it's notbecause of that. You're overthinking."

"Are you sure?"

“Yes, I'm sure. I didn't... You're thinking too much. I'm not a child. I'mjust thinking about some things."

Her seemingly genuine response made Ayan sigh with a hint ofdisappointment in his voice. "Well, that's a shame. I'm a little sad now. Ithurts when you're so indifferent and won't even comfort me. It reallymakes me feel sad.”

Camille had gotten used to his playful side when he was in front of her,so she didn't take it too seriously. Without changing her expression, shesmoothly shifted the topic to the next one, asking, "When are you goingon your business trip to Dane City?"

"Me? Aren't we going together?"

"So, when are you leaving then?"

Ayan glanced at her, slightly puzzled, and asked, "Why are you askingthis all of a sudden?"

"Because I want to visit Flento before we go to Dane. I want to seeSienna. I feel like her mood hasn't been great lately, and she's been inFlento City for a while now. I've never visited her, so I'm a bit worriedabout her," Camille explained honestly, her face and eyes showing herconcer.

Ayan nodded slightly, not stopping or refusing Camille's request. Heresponded in a casual tone, "We'll leave for Dane after Kian returns. Ifyou want to accompany Sienna for two days before that, we can leavein these two days. We can meet Kian directly in Dane City then.""These two days?" Camille's eyes flickered, and she continued, "Thenlet's go tomorrow. Today, I'll go to the museum to coordinate somework. I need to submit the design drawings. Also, because of theprevious incident, even though everyone has resumed work, we're stillin a slow-paced state. After we come back from Dane City, we'llprobably be really busy. I'll call my mom tonight to let her know, and I'llask her to take care of Timmy."

Camille hadn't seen Timmy in a while. After he went on vacation, hehad been having a blast there. During their video calls, he would mostlybe sleeping as their schedules didn't align. So, she hadn't seen much ofhim on video.

Talia had told Camille in their video calls that Timmy, despite his youngage, was already well-behaved. He had learned many words and wouldinsist on taking walks with Old Simpson every day. Even when OldSimpson went fishing, Timmy would sit quietly by his side for a longtime without getting fussy.

It was not easy for such a young child to be able to calm down like that.Talia had sent Camille many videos, some privately and some in theirgroup chat. They were so heartwarming and adorable to watch.

The responsible and mature side of this little boy made Camille feelimmensely relieved and proud.

So, whenever she thought of Timmy, Camille couldn't help but feel atwinge of guilt and self-blame.

Her face drooped, and her voice sounded a bit down as she askedAyan, "Am I not fit to be a mother at all? Since I started working, it feelslike I've had less and less contact with Timmy. I haven't been giving himenough care and companionship. When I think about it, I'm reallyirresponsible.”

Ayan's brow immediately furrowed, and his handsome facemomentarily stiffened. His voice deepened as he said, "Of course not.You're doing great. Even though Timmy is our child, we can't give upour work and everything else just to be with him every day. Your jobnow is to provide him with a better life, right? And you haven't beencompletely absent either. You stay in touch with him every day, andyou're fully involved in his growth. So, you're responsible, and youshouldn't have any guilt or self-blame. You're doing great.”

Ayan earnestly tried to reassure Camille with every word, particularlynot wanting her to feel any guilt or self-blame when it came to Timmy.

If there was anyone who should feel guilty, it would probably be him,right?

After all, it was his obstruction and firm threats that prevented Camillefrom leaving the Simpson family with Timmy. When he thought about it,he was the real culprit, wasn't he?

Ayan looked at Camille with a deep gaze, and a hint of worry emergedin his heart. Would Camille blame him?

Even if he could go back in time, he would probably make the samedecision again.

If she had really left with Timmy back then, would their relationship bedifferent from what it is now?

The thought of her never returning to his side made Ayan’s expressionturn solemn and uneasy.

He reached out and held Camille's hand on the table, squeezing it inhis palm. His voice became somewhat hoarse as he said, "Don't havesuch thoughts anymore. Timmy has you as a mother, and we trust youto take care of him. He can play around and have fun everywhere. Afterhe starts school, we can pick him up and be with him outside. Alright?"Camille nodded slightly and explained, “I'm not complaining. I justthought about it suddenly, so I wanted to talk about it."

"l understand."

Ayan stared at her intently, his eyes filled with tenderness.

After having breakfast, Camille and Ayan set off together. Camille wentto the museum, and Ayan headed to the Simpson Group.

During the drive, Camille suddenly asked, “Where did Kian go?"
