Chapter 917: Opinion

Camille asked bluntly, and the old Simpson was slightly taken abackbut quickly responded in a calm tone, "No, don't think too much orguess randomly. I'm fine. It's just that I'm getting old and my mind isslowing down. Don't worry about me." The old Simpson clearly didn'twant to talk about this matter any further, so he briefly answeredCamille's question and had no intention of continuing the conversation.This made Camille feel helpless because she was convinced that theold Simpson must be hiding something from them. He didn't stay in thehall for too long before he got up to rest in his room.

When Ayan came downstairs, only Camille was sitting on the couchalone. Ayan walked over and sat next to her, asking softly,"Why are yousitting here alone?"

"Grandpa is resting now. What about you? How did your conversationwith Dad go?" Camille asked worriedly.

Ayan instinctively frowned with a hint of gloom on his handsome faceas he replied hoarsely,"Grandpa refused to tell us what's going onexactly. Dad has been thinking it over these days and plans to takeGrandpa back to where he grew up for a while - somewhere rural butconvenient enough - Mom might go with them too; we'll have to takecare of Timmy ourselves.”

Camille nodded, "Okay, as long as it's good for Grandpa.”

Ayan smiled faintly,"But it will be hard work for you."

“Timmy is our responsibility anyway, isn't it? It wouldn't be fair if werelied solely on the forever, isn't it?" replied Camille thoughtfully.

She understood that they couldn't rely entirely on their family members’help forever; they needed independence eventually.

The Simpson family had given her all their support when she neededhelp most; this fact remained etched deeply into her heart until now.Ayan was moved by what she said and gently hugged her whilewhispering,” know you have no other thoughts than being consideratetowards others. I just don't want him disturbing our private timetogether. If he moves in with us, then all of your attention willundoubtedly shift towards him instead of me. Although I know he's ourchild, I'm still a bit jealous. But don't worry, I won't make things difficultfor you. I'll adjust my own feelings. Just don't ignore me," Ayan said toCamille in a long string of words that left her confused and staring athim for a while before she regained her composure.

Shaking her head helplessly, Camille said, "Why are you acting like achild? You're not as mature as Timmy psychologically. He's not just myson but also yours. How can you be jealous of your own child?"

"If he were a girl, I would hold him in the palm of my hand,” Ayanreplied with deep eyes that seemed to have some ambiguous emotionsfloating around them and his voice becoming hoarse. "He fights withme for my wife, can I still be nice to him?"

Camille felt tired already and could predict what the future held for themif Timmy grew older; Ayan would probably treat him in ways he usuallyused towards an adult.

Sighing silently, Camille whispered softly, “Don’t bully him."

Ayan smiled slyly and said teasingly, "You're already protecting himeven before he moves in together officially? If you keep treating him sowell like this, then I might replace an excuse to send him away!"

"Ayan!!!" Camille was furious because Timmy was only one year oldwhile Ayan acted like he was younger than six months old.

But when she shouted at Ayan sternly, he hugged her tighter and cooedgently into her ear saying: "I just want you to care about me more."Camille didn't want to talk anymore or bother with his nonsense butknew that it was all talk anyway; there was no way he would actually doanything harmful towards their son since Timmy is his child too.

As they chatted on about nothing important, Talia walked out from thedining room holding onto Timmy's little hand after feeding him earlier.The scene caught Talia's attention immediately as she saw how lovingthey were towards each other despite their arguments earlier on.

Talia leaned over and hugged Timmy, and said with a big smile,“Timmy, look at how loving Mom and Dad are!"

Timmy clapped his hands and called Mom and Dad in a childish voice,so cute.

Camille was still in Ayan's arms, and her mother-in-law and son sawsuch a scene again. She froze, her face was even redder and hotter,and she lowered her face, not daring to look at Talia and Timmy.Compared to her shyness, Ayan was fearless and not even slightlyembarrassed. He even raised his hand and gently covered Camille'shead, whispering to Talia, "Mom, if you keep going, I'll have to kneel onthe keyboard when we get back."

Talia laughed even harder. "I'd love to see you kneel on the keyboard."Ayan was helpless but Camille slowly sat up from his embrace. Shedidn't look at Talia and just whispered, "Mom."

Talia couldn't stop laughing and said softly in response, "Oh well." Shewalked over with Timmy in her arms and sat in another empty seat. Shecontinued speaking softly saying,"After your Dad and I accompany yourGrandpa back to the countryside, Ayan will be responsible for thewedding photos. We'll be gone for at most half a month until yourGrandpa feels better then we'll come back.”

Talia sighed as she spoke, The reason why we decided to go downsouth temporarily is because your Dad is worried about your Grandpa'shealth. He's afraid that he will always miss his old home so he decidedit would be best if he could be travel more while he still has goodhealth.”

Camille nodded along with Ayan as Talia gave them detailedinstructions about Timmy's care including everything from food tolodging.

After giving all the instructions, Talia suggested,"Since Timmy will movein with you guys along with his nanny, it might not feel very spaciousliving near Maple Leaves Mansion. There are so many clothes andtoys. So how about moving back into Hanyama Mansion for a while?"Her tone was gentle enough that it didn't make Camille uncomfortable.Camille looked at Ayan before responding,”"Mom, don't worry about us,Ayan will take care of everything.” This made Ayan visibly happy as hehad always hoped that Camille would rely on him completely.

Ayan responded by saying,"I'm already working on replaceing a house. Weshould be able to move soon.”

Talia listened without asking too many questions since they were alladults who could handle things themselves. It wouldn't do any goodasking too much anyway.

The two of them stayed at the Simpson's mansion until around nineo'clock at night, but they didn't bring Timmy with them. Talia andFletcher were going to leave with the old Simpson in a couple of days,so they would pick up Timmy after settling into their new place.

After leaving the Simpson's mansion, they drove back to Maple LeavesMansion. On the way, Camille couldn't help but ask Ayan: "Did you justtell Mom that we can move into the house soon?"

"Yeah, I told you before that it was already furnished. We just need toadjust some minor details.”

"Will there be formaldehyde if we move in too quickly?"

"No, don't worry. I'll have a professional team test it."

"Mm-hmm."

Camille nodded and couldn't help but say: “I'm really looking forward toliving with Timmy. It's not too busy lately so I can spend more time withhim."

Camille was happy and her lips curved into a faint smile at the thought.Ayan glanced over calmly and asked in a gentle voice: "You're thishappy just because Timmy is coming?"
