Chapter 887: Style

Camille nodded, "It's okay."

"Not bad," Ayan replied casually.

Camille stared at him, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"

“I see you look very happy, and I'm happy too. Isn't it worth some bonuspoints to show concern for your work?" Ayan stared back at Camillecalmly, without any hidden meaning in his eyes, leaving Camille unsureif he had any ulterior motive.

Camille redirected her gaze, fastened her seatbelt, and then looked atAyan, saying, “Let's go back to the Simpson's mansion."

“Let's stop by and get some pastries for Grandpa first. Mom called andasked for it. Grandpa hasn't had a good appetite lately, but he's cravingthose pastries." Ayan drove while chatting with Camille.

Camille responded half-heartedly, preoccupied with her thoughts,causing her to miss several of Ayan's remarks without any response.Ayan reached out and gently pinched her chin, turning her face towardshim. He asked, "What's wrong?"

Camille looked at Ayan and blinked, asking softly, "Nothing."

"Hmm?" He narrowed his eyes slightly, clearly not believing her.

Her lips pursed lightly as she said, "I was just thinking about why yousuddenly asked about my relationship with them. Is there somethinggoing on?"

Ayan chuckled and said, "So you were just overthinking?"

Camille remained silent, her eyes coldly fixed on him.

He hurriedly explained, “I promise, there's nothing going on. I was justgenuinely asking. Maybe I made you misunderstand?"

Camille still didn't fully believe him and her gaze seemed to be asking,"Really?"

Ayan reiterated that there was really nothing to worry about. Heunderstood that Camille had been through some difficulties before,especially because of Louise's death, which had caused hergrievances. Besides, she was his wife, so naturally, others wouldn'ttreat her like an ordinary colleague. But now, seeing how well Camillegot along with everyone and how they didn't seem distant from her,Ayan asked casually to confirm his observation.

After hearing his detailed explanation, Camille finally felt a bit relieved.Otherwise, she would have started suspecting if someone among hercolleagues had done something, and Ayan had found out about it,wanting to subtly convey it to her but fearing she couldn't handle it.

All she wanted now was to focus on completing the project and nothave any more incidents like before.

After buying pastries, the two returned to the Simpson's mansion.Knowing they were back, Talia had already instructed the kitchen toprepare their favorite dishes, and Fletcher was called back early. Theywere all ready for dinner as soon as Camille and Ayan arrived.

The old Simpson hadn't been feeling well these past few days, onlytaking a few bites and refusing to eat more. He didn't look as energeticas before, causing Camille and Ayan to worry. Camille asked,"Grandpa, are you feeling unwell? Why aren't you eating much?"

The old Simpson just smiled faintly and said, "I'm fine, probably due tothe weather. I don't feel like eating much."

Nobody believed the old Simpson's words.

Today, since Camille and Ayan were back, he reluctantly ate a bit more,but his mood was still not particularly good. His responses during theconversation were absent-minded, and such a state couldn't beattributed to the weather.

After dinner, the old Simpson retired to his room to rest.

Ayan, Camille, Fletcher, and Talia sat in the living room, drinking tea.The old housekeeper accompanied the old Simpson, so theirconversation wouldn't disturb him.

Ayan was the first to speak, "How long has Grandpa been like this?"Fletcher looked at Ayan, his brows furrowing with a hint of concern. Hesaid, "It's been three days, he's been heavy-hearted and doesn't wantto talk about it. He's hiding something.”

Talia sighed helplessly, "I wonder what's going on? If there's somethingbothering him, he should tell us and we could all solve it together."Ayan asked in a serious tone, "Who has Grandpa seen lately?"

"Since returning home, he's been staying at home every day. At leastone of your mom and I usually stay back in the house. And there willalso be someone taking care of him even if we two go out together, sothere shouldn't have been any visitors," Fletcher replied.

Ayan's face darkened, his eyes showing worry. He said, "No one hascome to visit Grandpa voluntarily, but has he received any phonecalls?"

"Our butler mentioned that a few days ago, there was indeed a call forhim. We checked the number, and it was a virtual number, so wecouldn't trace who made the call.” Fletcher's expression grew heavieras he continued, "So it might be related to that call?"

Camille sat on the side, not saying anything, but her worry was evident.After Ayan finished talking with Fletcher, Camille whispered, “Ayan, doyou want to talk to Grandpa privately? Maybe he can't tell us, but hemight open up to you. Can you do that?"

Talia immediately agreed, "Cami is right. You should talk to Grandpa.”All three of them supported this suggestion, and Ayan headed towardsthe old Simpson's room.

Talia had Fletcher accompany Timmy, while she took Camille to showher some wedding dress designs.

Talia said, "I've selected a few studios. Take a look and see if you likeany particular style."

Talia brought out her iPad, showing Camille a series of wedding dressdesigns she had saved. She casually added, "These past few days, I'vehad designers measure you for the wedding dress. Ayan personallyselected a renowned designer from abroad. His wedding dresses areone of a kind, and later when you're my age, looking back at them willbring back fond memories."

Talia was a romantic person, and the designer she mentioned wasfamous for designing wedding dresses for many celebrities andHollywood actresses. Camille had seen some of those beautifuldresses, and she knew they were both exquisite and expensive.Though she knew Ayan had enough money, she still felt hesitant aboutspending so much on a wedding dress. She said, "Mom, the weddingdress is too expensive. I think the local designers are also very good."“It's not expensive. You only get married once in a lifetime, so naturally,you should have the best. While the designers here are good, I thinktheir styles are too common. The wedding dress should be unique.Don't feel pressured. This is what you deserve. As a husband, Ayannaturally considers all of this," Talia said.

Talia didn't act like a typical mother-in-law. She seemed more like aloving mother. She didn't think spending money was a waste, as she,too, was a woman who appreciated romance and dreamed of a uniqueand unforgettable wedding. Her advice and the designer shementioned made Camille feel touched. Her own mother, Page, wouldnever care about her as much as Talia did. Before meeting Talia, hergrandmother had treated her very well, so she never felt lacking inparental love. However, after marrying Ayan, Talia gave her the love ofa mother, so Camille didn't feel any deficiency. She hugged Talia andsaid, "Mom, having you is wonderful."

Talia also hugged her back, chuckling, "Silly girl, we're all family. Havingyou makes us feel wonderful too. Thank you for letting me help withyour wedding preparations. Otherwise, I'd feel useless. Now I feel veryuseful!"

The two smiled at each other, understanding each other's feelingswithout needing more words. Everything was in their hearts.

Camille then brought up Sienna's situation and asked Talia to try to replaceout what Madison thought about Sienna.

Talia immediately agreed and assured Camille that she would take careof it.

As Camille and Talia continued to choose wedding dress designs, Ayancame out of the room and walked straight to Camille, glancing at theiPad in her hand. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you like any ofthem? What style are you thinking of?"
