Chapter 926: Biased Heart

Yeah, Timmy is amazing. Even though he's young, each stage in achild's world comes with its own challenges.

If he's always sheltered under the wings of parents, he'll never grow.They must let go a bit. Let him solve his own problem and only seekadult help when necessary.

That's a different form of protection from parents.

Camille's worries eased after this little incident, and she agreed to sendTimmy to the preschool class at the kindergarten. However, the nannywould accompany him, and arrangements would be made fortransportation.

The matter of Timmy attending preschool wouldn't involve Ayan orCamille directly. Their faces weren't unfamiliar in Hance City, but theydidn't want to reveal Timmy's identity for his own good.

After Timmy's preschool sorted out, Camille began to focus on her workagain. The project at the museum was wrapped up, and she returned toher own company. She was assisting Sienna in preparing for aninternational design competition.

So, she wasn't idle. She and Sienna started discussing their work forthe design competition.

They had a serious discussion about this. Sienna said, "Apart from thetwo of us, we need an assistant.”

"Just one assistant?"

“I don't want too many people. More people means more complications,and that's just annoying," Sienna complained. "If two assistants have afalling out, it's us who will suffer. So, the fewer people, the better.”"Well, since you've decided, let's go with your idea,” Camille had noobjections. Whether it was a small or large team, it didn't matter much.Fewer people might be easier to manage if any unexpected issuesarose. However, with too many people, everyone's thoughts coulddiffer, making things more complicated if any problems occurred.Finding an assistant wasn't an easy task. They needed someonetalented, sincere, and experienced in the field.

Sienna had originally thought of Yessica, but Camille pointed out,"Yessica has to handle our company's matters. If she becomes anassistant, who will manage the company?"

Camille had delegated most of the company's tasks to Yessica, so shecouldn't abandon those responsibilities to become an assistant.

The search for an assistant had to be meticulous. Camille and Siennaplanned to visit the design department at Hance City University.However, Ayan or Rex would have to reach out to arrange this, savingthem some time.

But this favor couldn't be unpaid, even for a couple.

So that evening, Camille and Sienna invited Ayan and Rex to dinner onbehalf of the company.

As if it were planned, the two men arrived late, making Camille andSienna wait for nearly an hour.

Seated in a private room, Sienna seemed to be in a bad mood, sayingto Rex, "Tsk tsk, it's hard to see you now, right? Don't you think nowthat you've married me, you can take me for granted?"

Rex chuckled, "Sienna, you invited me for dinner on behalf of thecompany. Of course, I have to keep it professional. If you doubt it, askMr. Simpson. If you weren't my wife, you'd have to make anappointment to dine with me!"

Sienna was infuriated, pushing Rex with her hand. She seemed likeshe was about to explode.

In contrast to their heated exchange, Camille and Ayan seemed muchcalmer.

Camille didn't ask, but Ayan volunteered, “Traffic was bad, which is whywe're late.”

Camille simply nodded, not saying much.

Though it was business, it didn't necessarily mean they would strictlyadhere to it.

During dinner, the four chatted while eating. Camille explained her andSienna's thoughts, saying, "By using your connections, we can directlyapproach professors from the design department at Hance CityUniversity. It should speed things up. So, we're counting on you for thisfavor."

Rex said, "Cami, you've made the right choice. Ayan has a relative whois a professor at Hance City University. She's highly respected andaccomplished. If you're in a hurry, Ayan will be able to make it happen.”Camille subconsciously looked at Ayan. While she was sure he couldarrange it, she was surprised to learn that the Simpson family had arelative who was a professor at Hance University.

Ayan elaborated, "It's my mother's aunt. She's been a professor atHance City University for many years. Are you in a rush? If not, whenI'm done with my work at hand, I'll take you to meet her."

"No rush, no rush. We'll wait for Mr. Simpson to finish his tasks andthen accompany Cami to Hance City University,” Sienna promptlyanswered.

And so it was decided. When Ayan had some free time, he would takeCamille to Hance City University to meet his Aunt-in-law.

With everything sorted out so smoothly, they decided not to pay for thedinner. The bill naturally fell on Rex, as Sienna put it, "You haven'tcontributed anything else, so you can contribute money."

When dinner concluded, the four returned to Franklin Bay. Sienna andRex had moved there too, with the two villas next to each other. Theywere so close that they could easily cross over the fence to visit eachother.

Upon returning to their villa, the two women bid farewell. There was ahint of reluctance in their eyes, indicating their deep affection. Rexcouldn't help but laugh, “You're just next door, not a world away. Is itreally necessary to be like this?"

Sienna retorted, "You wouldn't understand.”

Camille chuckled and waved, "Alright, don't get too clingy. Otherwise,Mr. Baxter might hold a grudge against me."

"He wouldn't dare!" Sienna huffed, then blew a kiss before leaving.Camille and Ayan returned, and Timmy must have heard the door open.His short legs quickly carried him over, his voice babyishly calling out,"Mommy, mommy."

He hugged Camille's legs directly, and she bent down to lift him into herarms. She gently asked, "Did you have a good day?"

"Yes."

"Did you see lots of little friends at preschool?"

"Many."

He nodded while answering, his enunciation becoming clearer by theday. He was already capable of holding conversations with adults.Watching the mother-son interaction, Ayan was left out and visiblyupset. He snorted softly and said, "Why not ask if I had a good day atwork?"

Camille blinked, and both she and Timmy looked at Ayan, a shared lookthat seemed to say, "Are you alright?"

Camille chuckled softly, "Mr. Simpson, we just came back from dinnertogether. Is there anything else you need me to ask?"

Ayan was clearly unhappy. In his mind, Camille's behavior might beseen as ignorance of him.

Camille had no intention of placating him. Holding Timmy, she startedwalking inside, a mischievous glint dancing in her eyes. It was evidentthat she was doing it on purpose.

Ayan followed behind her, wearing a somewhat aggrieved expression.The gazes of the father and son unintentionally met, but Ayan didn'tback down. He locked eyes with Timmy, who refused to showweakness. They remained in a standoff until Camille placed Timmywithin the enclosed play area.

Timmy rode a small toy car by himself. Camille shifted her attention toAyan. Walking up to him, she reached out and linked her arm with his.Her voice was gentle, tinged with a hint of a smile. She said, "Is Mr.Simpson really upset?"

Her playful tone showed that she was fully aware of Ayan's feelings.Ayan responded coolly, "Don't ignore me next time."

“Timmy is not even two years old.” How could he be so jealous?

Ayan didn't back down, "We're equals. No inequality.”

"Okay, okay."

Camille chuckled helplessly.

Seated on the floor, surrounded by a children's carpet, the two leanedagainst each other. Their gazes were fixed on Timmy. The atmospherewas particularly harmonious, radiating warmth.

Ayan's phone rang, interrupting the moment. He picked it up, glancingat the unfamiliar number.

He answered, "Who's this?"
