My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 919: Mute

Chapter 919: Mute

Ayan's deep gaze was fixed on Camille without blinking. He whispered,"Have you made up your mind?"

"Mmm, so don't ask me again, or I might change my mind," Camillechuckled lightly, her tone seemingly relaxed but Ayan knew she wasjust trying to hide her emotions.

He said calmly, "Take your time and let me know when you've decided.”This was Ayan giving Camille the time she needed to think thingsthrough.

As for Eileen and Preston's relationship, they both already knew theanswer in their hearts. So when they saw the result, there wasn't anyshock or surprise.

They didn't want to talk about it anymore either.

Only Camille and Ayan knew about it; even Kian didn't know what theresult of the test was.

After leaving the test center together, they both put this matter behindthem. As for that report, Ayan tore it up into pieces and threw it intoseveral trash cans after returning to Maple Leaves Mansion.

These past few days were quite busy for them - Ayan had to deal withMr. and Mrs. Bell's affairs while Camille had to move out of her oldplace as Timmy would be sent to them tomorrow night so that theycould move into their new villa in Franklin Bay together.

Oh yeah - there was one more thing...

After throwing away the test results, with Camille upstairs by his side,Ayan mentioned: "The museum has released its results."

"About the selected architects?"

"Mmm... The list came out this morning; Jenson messaged Kian aboutit. Do you want to know who made it?" he asked with a faint smile onhis face.

"Who? Me?"Camille raised an eyebrow slightly as a hint of a smileappeared on her lips too; honestly speaking though she wasn't verycurious because she had already told Ayan how she felt about work -even if he hadn't mentioned anything yet - if she really did make it ontothat list, then she would probably tell Jenson again. Now that Timmywas moving in with them soon, she wanted to spend some quality timewith him instead of focusing too much on work right now...

Ayan didn't keep teasing her — he said directly: “Two architects wereselected — Sophie and Summer who turned to you last time."

Camilla nodded, knowing full well what this meant... However thisalone wouldn't be enough to stop people from gossiping.

When Jenson announced the news, the Sophie and Summer weresurprised, and then came the voice of the architect who had questionedCamille before.

She asked Jenson in confusion, "Mr. Evans, why were they choseninstead of me? I don't think I'm any worse than them, and I actually feellike I have more experience.”

Jenson responded to her question by saying, "We need architects forthis project who not only have the skills but also good interpersonalrelationships. If we choose two members who don't get along wellduring work, then the rest of the project will be unhappy. While skill isimportant, sometimes other factors are just as important.”

Jenson's response was undoubtedly telling her that she was a littlepetty and even if she was selected for this project, it wouldn't lead tosuccess.

However, his answer didn't completely silence her mouth; instead shemuttered under her breath: "It's because they have a good relationshipwith Camille outside of work that they were chosen.”

This statement told everyone that Summer and Sophie joined thisproject because of their relationship with Camille.

Everyone's expression changed after hearing this. Even if they hadn'tthought about it before, now they couldn't help but entertain thesethoughts.

Sophie frowned and said: "If you have evidence then show it to us;otherwise don't make baseless accusations.”

Summer echoed Sophie's words: "You're just jealous because youweren't selected.”

"Jealous? Am I jealous that you guys got in through connections?""You..."

The three argued until Jenson interrupted them by shouting: “If youwant to argue go outside! This is a museum, not a place for fighting."After Jenson spoke up, everything became quiet again.

Then he continued saying: "We've come to an end here today on ourwork together, so let's celebrate tonight at dinner together as we moveinto the next phase of our official project launch.”

The dinner location was set at a high-end hotel.

Camille received news about the dinner earlier in the afternoon, but shehad planned on waiting until Ayan finished working before going homewith Timmy, so she wanted to decline attending.

Ayan said: "This opportunity only comes once; Timmy can come withme alone or if you're worried about him being alone, then my mothercan bring him over too. You should go have dinner with them!"

After considering his words Camille agreed and said: "Don't make Mommake this special trip; just go pick him up yourself and ask Kian or oneof your drivers to drive me there."

"Okay," he nodded in agreement.

Then Camille had dinner with the museum staff that evening. Shebrought flowers to congratulate Sophie and Summer on their selection,and also brought many high-end desserts for everyone to take homeand enjoy.

As for the arguments that occurred at the museum, they were allforgotten in the atmosphere of dinner. After all, everyone was an adultand couldn't get angry like children just because of a quarrel ordisagreement. Even if adults were dissatisfied, they would maintainsuperficial harmony.

This hypocritical state persisted until the end of this meal. Jensonsuggested another round, but Camille had to go home to look afterTimmy, so she politely declined but told everyone to have fun.

Camille came out of the private room followed by Sophie and Summerwho said: "Miss Camille, thank you for taking care of us during work."Camille tilted her head in confusion before laughing: "Did youmisunderstand? Your selection has nothing to do with me; it's your ownexcellent work."

Sophie and Summer knew that if it weren't for Camille not participating,then only one person of them might have been selected instead ofboth. So they thanked Camille repeatedly until she finally asked themback into the private room before leaving alone from hotel.

Camille stood outside waiting for the car while messaging Ayan: "HasTimmy been picked up?"

Ayan replied: "Just got back; what about you? Finished eating yet? Doyou want me to bring him along and pick you up?"

"No need; I'm heading back now."

"Okay; drive safely.”

"Mhmm."

Camille put away her phone, eagerly wanting see Timmy again soon,but still patiently waited as valet parking hadn't arrived yet. Suddenly avoice called out her name nearby:

"Camille!"

Following the direction of the sound, Camille turned her head andswept over. Eileen was carrying a bag, a long white dress, and longhair hanging over her shoulders. She walked over slowly, and sheseemed to be eating here too.

Their eyes met as Eileen smiled lightly saying: "What a coincidence!Are you having dinner with Ayan?"

Despite confronting Eileen just two days ago in Ayan's office, Camileremained indifferent as if nothing happened. She smilingly greeted herlike nothing ever happened.

If Camille didn't know Eileen so well, she might have believed all thefalse pretenses she put up. But knowing her thoughts and character,Camille couldn't help but feel that Eileen was being insincere, andnaturally didn't have any good feelings towards her.

Camille averted her gaze and didn't want to say another word to Eileen.Just because she wasn't going to do anything to Eileen for now didn'tmean she could pretend like nothing had happened.

Camille's indifference made Eileen's face stiffen slightly, but she didn'tstop there. Instead, she walked over to Camille and said: "Camille, doyou still have some misunderstanding about me? Don't worry, I don'thave any feelings for Ayan anymore. I know he doesn't like me back, soI don't need to keep bothering him."

Camille remained silent as Eileen continued talking.

Basically what she was trying to tell Camille was that since she wasn'tgoing after Ayan anymore, there was no reason for Camile not to behice towards her.

Eileen talked too much and it started getting on Camile's nerves. Thecar arrived at that moment and only then did Camile give her a coldglance before saying: "If you don't want to be annoying, just keep yourmouth shut and be a mute.”
