Chapter 934: Uneasy Heart

He didn't deny it; that meant he admitted it.

Camille gave a faint smile, "I don't get involved in your matters withPreston, so you don't need to tell me. Everyone's perspective anddecisions are different, so I have no right to blame or demand anythingfrom you. After all, I'm growing less and less familiar with him. I mightnot have understood him from the beginning. So, I don't really knowwhat kind of person he is now."

Camille met Ayan's dark eyes with a deeper smile, her voice warm,"Ayan, I'm really glad you can be honest with me. Thank you for caringabout my feelings."

She extended her arms for a hug, and after a moment's hesitation,Ayan reciprocated. He held her gently, his voice a soft whisper near herear, "No need to thank me, never say thank you."

"Alright, Mr. Simpson,” she playfully responded.

Ayan's slightly tense expression softened.

Although Camille had said she didn't need to be informed about what todo, Ayan still brought it up proactively, "Kian went to Flento. In thesenext few days, he'll likely stir up some things with Preston. So, he mightapproach you. No matter what he says or does, don't believe him, don'tengage, got it?"

"Got it," Camille softly replied.

Ayan tenderly stroked her hair, and his deep eyes turned dim andcontemplative. As for the matters he had been trying to obstruct, hewasn't sure if he could completely prevent them. But if they did happen,how would she react?

These questions darkened Ayan's expression further, and the depths ofhis eyes grew even darker, like ink.

Yet, now that Camille had promised him, he felt a glimmer ofconfidence. It was the worst-case scenario, but he would do his best toprevent it. Once everything settled down, he needed to confess toCamille. It was better than her hearing it from someone else's mouth.That night, both Flento and Hance seemed far from peaceful.

Some people stayed awake until dawn, like Preston, who hardly slept awink that night. His heart was restless and uneasy, burdened by amyriad of hidden concerns. Ever since the livestream last night,although Molly hadn't said anything, he could unmistakably sense hergrowing distance. It was so cold, almost as if she saw through him.Such unease left Preston with an inexplicable sense of guilt andanxiety.

Molly was already asleep on the bed in their apartment. As the skygrew brighter, he scribbled a note, grabbed his car keys, and headedout, using the excuse of buying breakfast.

In fact, the moment he left, Molly was already awake.

The closing of the door wasn't loud, and she was in a half-asleep state,but she could sense the slightest movements.

Most importantly, she hadn't fully closed the door, leaving it slightly ajar.So, Preston's departure wasn't lost on her. She sat on the bed, staringat the ceiling blankly. A faint, cold smile curved at the corner of her lips,an expression filled with calculating coolness.

In her heart, she silently thought, "Preston, this is what you owe me.This is your deception towards me. It's all your own doing. I gave youchances, but you didn't cherish them. You never kept me in your heart.So, it's not my fault, it's not on me."

Preston naturally had no idea about Molly's thoughts or the fact thatshe had woken up the moment he left.

He drove to Zoie's hotel after leaving the apartment.

Because of the video incident, Zoie had to change hotels. She hadpicked a new one after Preston left the previous hotel, following hismessage telling her to choose a new hotel herself. With the videoincident, she didn't cry, complain, or lose her temper. Her restraint onlymade Preston's heart ache more, as no man could remain indifferent toa woman who sacrificed so much for him.

So, he drove to see her using the excuse of buying breakfast, andnaturally, he knew which floor and room number she was in.

When he rang the doorbell, Zoie quickly opened the door.

Seeing Preston outside, Zoie blinked her eyes, her eyes reddeninginstantly. She bit her lip, her expression becoming pitiful and endearing.Preston entered and closed the door behind him before sweeping herinto an embrace. He murmured softly, "Don't be upset. I'm here now."Held in his arms, Zoie's face remained devoid of expression. Shesimply nodded gently, asking, “Why did you come so early?"

"Come to see you."

"What should we do if she replaces out?"

“It's alright, I'll handle it. Why did you wake up so early?"

"I couldn't sleep. I'm worried about you. I'm afraid of causing youtrouble. I think I should just go back to Hance today. Staying here willonly cause chaos for you. If I had known, I wouldn't have come. It's allmy fault, I've caused the current situation.”

As Zoie spoke, she couldn't help but want to cry. Her words were filledwith self-blame and guilt.

Preston quickly raised his hand to wipe away her tears, his eyesshowing tenderness. He said softly, “It's not your fault. It's not yourproblem. Others are intentionally targeting me. Don't worry, things aremostly resolved now. If you want to go back, wait a couple of days untilthe heat dies down, and then come back, alright?"

Zoie nodded gently, indicating her agreement, and then huggedPreston willingly.

Preston stayed with Zoie until the sky was completely bright, and it wasclose to seven o'clock. He finally said to Zoie, “I can't stay out for toolong. I'll head back now. There are still some things that require hercooperation. Rest well, don't overthink, I'm here for everything, okay?"Preston left the room. He took out the mask he always carried in hispocket and then took the elevator down and left the hotel.

On his way back in the car, he bought bread and coffee and wentstraight to his apartment.

As he entered the apartment, Molly was already sitting on the livingroom sofa.

She didn't react to the sound of the door opening, and it wasn't untilPreston walked into the living room with his things that she looked athim and softly asked, "Why did you go out so early to buy breakfast?"Preston put down the breakfast in his hands and looked at Molly with agentle gaze. "I just went out for a bit. How about you? Why aren't yousleeping a bit more?"

"Just went out for a bit?" Molly asked casually, looking down at the foodon the coffee table. She didn't pay much attention to his currentexpression and reactions. She simply opened the packaging and saidsoftly, "I'm so hungry. Let's eat breakfast!"

Molly's response and actions were completely normal, and Prestondeeply glanced at her before responding, "Sure."

As for how long he had been out, he naturally didn't mention anything,not a single word.

After breakfast, Molly proactively said to Preston, "With everything thathappened yesterday, I need to go back for a bit. Even though I've givenup my inheritance rights, I'm still worried that they'll be upset. We'regetting married, and I want to have their blessings, so..."

"Alright, go and see them."

"Okay, let's have dinner together tonight!"

"Sure."

Preston nodded, and if Molly needed to go back to the Walker family,he didn't have any objections. It was also a relief from spending thewhole day with him.

Molly changed her clothes and left. Later, she quickly returned to theWalker family. She informed Luke about the pre-booked flight and timefor her visit. Then she said, "Dad, you've never agreed to us beingtogether. As long as you and Mom go abroad for half a month, by thetime you return, our matters will be resolved. We won't get married bythen."

Luke looked at Molly, confused. Adding to what happened yesterday,he asked, "Molly, what exactly are you and him up to?"
