Chapter 850: Forever
Ayan glanced at Sophia, who was about to get into the car, andcasually said, "Nothing, just if you go for a stroll with her, it won't enduntil ten in the evening."
Sophia was a typical Aries, always full of energy and enthusiasm.
She never seemed to get tired, but since they had taken a flight andhadn't rested well in Flento City, Ayan decided to take Camille back tothe hotel to rest properly. Tomorrow, he could accompany her for a dayof fun. He didn't want anyone else to interrupt their time together.
Of course, Ayan wouldn't say this directly in front of Sophia. With hertemper, she would definitely go out of her way to disturb them.However, Ayan knew very well that Sophia no longer had any interest inhim. Still, he didn't want anyone to disturb the time he would spend withCamille. He didn't want any interference, whether from men or women.Their opportunities to be together were already scarce, so he wanted tocherish every moment of their private world.
Sophia drove them back to the hotel. After they got out of the car,Camille waved goodbye to Sophia. Sophia glanced at Ayan and said toCamille, "Let's make plans to meet alone another day. You can call meanytime."
Camille nodded in agreement and expressed her gratitude once againfor today's ride and lunch.
Then Sophia looked at Ayan and asked, "Ayan, there's a cocktail partyat the opening ceremony tonight. Would you like to come with me?""No, you handle it. I'm fine,” Ayan replied with an indifferent tone.Sophia had already anticipated his answer, so she simply nodded anddidn't say much.
She waved goodbye and prepared to drive away, but at that moment,Ayan took the initiative to speak again, "If you have anything, just callKian directly. He's already in Dane."
If someone needed to reach him, his phone might not be turned on, orhe might not be able to hear it.
He had decided to spend time with Camille, so naturally, his phonewould be on silent or turned off.
Sophia nodded and left.
Camille and Ayan turned and walked into the hotel. Their hands wereintertwined, and they walked slowly towards the entrance. Camillesoftly asked Ayan, "Are you in a bad mood today?"
Ayan lowered his gaze and stared at her. "Why do you ask that?""Because during the meal, you kept arguing with Sophia. Are you reallyokay?"
She looked at him with concern, which made Ayan smile.
He said, "Are you really worried about me?"
Camille furrowed her brows. “I don't care about you. Maybe youshouldn't tell me anything anymore."
Ayan looked at her serious expression and suddenly leaned closer toher, his warm breath brushing against her cheek as he spoke in a lowand hoarse voice, "I see that your whole body is soft, except for thismouth of yours, which is stubborn.”
Camille's cheeks turned slightly red, and she averted her gaze,unwilling to look at him for too long.
The two of them entered the elevator and arrived at their room floor.Only then did Ayan speak softly, “I'm fine. Talking with Sophia hasalways been like this. If there's something that has made me unhappy,it's probably running into Jordan at the airport!"
His voice was low and carried a hint of subtle grievance, as ifsomething had truly hurt him.
Camille pursed her lips and stood at the door of the room. She took outthe room key from her bag, opened the door, and walked in. Ayanfollowed behind her and closed the door behind them.
The room had a huge floor-to-ceiling window, offering a nice view. Aftersetting down her bag, Camille sat on the sofa.
Ayan stood in front of her, looking down at her. "Don't you haveanything to say to me?"
Camille raised her gaze. "Do you want to ask me how I know Jordan?"Ayan sat down beside her, facing her. Unable to resist any longer, heasked the question he had refrained from asking at the airport. "So, youdon't plan on telling me, and you purposely want to make me feel hurt,is that it?"
Camille smiled lightly, raising an eyebrow. "Yeah!"
Ayan was helpless, but he couldn't do anything about her.
Camille didn't continue to beat around the bush. She said, "Do youremember when we went to a restaurant in a resort? That was the firsttime I met Jordan. It was just a chance encounter, and we didn't haveany interaction. Not long after we returned, I ran into his mother at thehospital. She almost fainted, and I helped her replace a doctor. You couldsay I did her a small favor!"
"So, you didn't tell him about our relationship?"
"Mr. Simpson, are you stupid?" Camille furrowed her brows and staredat him with some amusement. "Wouldn't I be considered crazy andlocked up in a hospital if I met someone and shouted, 'l have arelationship with Ayan'? We're a divorced couple, and now we'replanning to remarry. If I did that, I'd probably be considered insane."The more Camille thought about it, the more she found it amusing. Onthe other hand, Ayan was slightly displeased, his expressionparticularly indifferent. He said, "Why didn't you tell me about this?"“It's not an important matter, is it?" Camille didn't think she needed tospecifically inform him about such a thing. She didn't see any issue withit.
Ayan didn't say anything further upon hearing her response. He waspleased by her remark that it wasn't an important matter.
Later, Camille returned to the room for an afternoon nap, while Ayancontinued his work outside.
Kian had arrived in Dane the night before and had worked for the wholemorning. He had come to Dane primarily for the project'sgroundbreaking ceremony. The project was significant, so the openingceremony was made to be quite grand. Ayan's personal attendancerepresented his seriousness towards the project.
In the morning, Kian had greeted many company chairpersons andgeneral managers, all invited to participate in the opening ceremony.Additionally, he had inspected the site to ensure everything was inperfect order, leaving no room for accidents or loopholes.
After finishing these tasks, Kian finally arrived at the hotel.
He handed over a detailed report on the work and progress to Ayan forreview. Ayan had a sharp eye for things, especially when it came towork. Even though Kian had done an excellent job, Ayan pointed out afew minor issues that needed further improvement.
After discussing the matters related to the opening ceremony, Ayanfinally spoke up. "Any news from Campole?"
Kian replied, "Norman Group has been taken over by Mr. Davalos andMr. Moya. It was decided by a vote among the company employees.Although the Norman family has the largest share, none of them hadthe courage to take over the mess during such a critical period. As forAustin, he has been removed from the board of directors. His secretarymentioned that after being taken home, he hasn't been seen since. Thesurveillance around his mansion has also been broken, so the policehave no leads.”
"Alright, let's not bother with him. This matter has nothing to do withus," Ayan said indifferently.
He had considered the possibility of Austin becoming desperate andmaking irrational moves, but at present, it seemed unlikely. Austin wasalready wanted by the authorities and wouldn't risk exposing himself.His situation was far more serious than Preston's. While Preston wassuspected of intentional harm and obstruction of normal businessoperations, as long as Ayan didn't pursue it, it wouldn't cause significantproblems. However, no matter what identity Austin assumed, there wasno way to resolve his situation.
Ayan found Preston useful, but as for Austin, he had no valuewhatsoever. It was best to leave him to the police.
Kian nodded. After briefly discussing Austin's matter, he informed Ayanof the information he had received earlier that morning. He said, "Mr.Simpson, Sean has been in contact with Austin. Someone saw himhaving a meal with Austin's driver in Hance City. Based on theirinteraction, it seems it wasn't their first time meeting. Our people alsodiscovered that Preston is also looking for Sean."
"Of course, he would look for him. If Sean's whereabouts were beyondhis control, Preston probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night."Although Preston had shifted all the blame for Louise's death ontoSean, did Sean really do it?
But why did Preston go to such lengths to harm Louise? Ayan stillhadn't figured out the reason behind it.
There hadn't been much interaction between Louise and Preston, sothere must be a reason and motive behind Preston's actions.
So what was the reason?
Was it also related to the Simpson family?
