My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 941: The Lunatic

Chapter 941: The Lunatic

Camille felt an indescribable emotion towards Preston. Previously, shehad only thought that he might be a bit irrational in certain matters, buthis recent words had made her see through him completely.

He wasn't irrational; he was dealing with an irreparable mental issue.Camille felt like she had never truly understood this person. Everythinghe was showing now was something she had never witnessed before.Camille took a silent deep breath, her expression growing colder.Without waiting for Preston to speak, she said, "If you think all of this isbecause of me, then why did you get involved? When you did all of this,did you ever ask if I was willing? And now that things have gone wrong,you're pushing the blame onto me. Isn't that unreasonable?"

As Camille spoke, her anger and frustration grew, and she didn't reallywant to make their relationship so tense. Even if they stoppedcontacting each other, there was no need for them to become enemies.But Preston clearly seemed determined to completely tear apart theirfacades before giving up.

Since he wanted it that way, she would comply.

After so many events had happened, Camille had gained clarity.Sometimes, thinking for others could be unfair to herself and the peoplearound. Since she couldn't have it both ways, she decided to be a bitselfish and protect herself and the people she cared about.

In response to Camille's words, Preston's emotions couldn't bedescribed as excited anymore; he felt like he was about to explode.Preston let out a cold laugh and said, "You've wanted to say thesethings for a while now, haven't you? In your heart, you look down on mejust like you do with Ayan, don't you? You think I'm the adopted son ofthe Walker family, relying on Molly and her parents. So, you've alwayslooked down on me, right? Why are you treating me this way? I've beenso good to you, why can't you see that? Is it that in your eyes, you canonly see Ayan?"

“If you want to say it that way, I can't do anything about it. If there'snothing else, then let's leave it at that!"

"Camille!" Preston shouted in excitement, "Do you really think that mycurrent suffering has nothing to do with Ayan?"

Camille remained silent, her lips pressed together. She had neverconsidered that Preston's situation had nothing to do with Ayan.However, she had made it clear to herself and to Ayan that shewouldn't get too involved in Preston's matters, and she certainlywouldn't meddle further.

Since it was a matter between them, she believed they should handle itthemselves.

So, when Preston posed the question this way, her reaction wassubdued. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and her voice turned cold anddistant as she responded, "And yet, dare you say that you haven't doneanything that has hurt Ayan?"

Camille's voice remained calm, "Then you dare say you haven't doneanything to wrong Ayan?"

“I haven't. From the very beginning, it's the Simpson family thatwronged me. Ayan owes me. The Simpson family owes me."

"What does the Simpson family owe you? What does Ayan owe you?"Camille asked, but Preston fell silent.

He didn't answer this question, and he sounded like a deflated balloonwhen he finally spoke, “Cami, I've said it before. Some things are betterleft unknown. I never wanted to hurt you, so stop being with Ayan,okay?"

Preston was only trying to get Camille away from Ayan, away from theSimpson family. If Camille left, he would consider her child with Ayan ashis own. He was using this opportunity to finally reveal all his hiddenthoughts to her.

However, his words were off-putting to Camille. She found themunreasonable. Her expression grew stiffer, and she spoke in a cooltone, "Enough. Stop talking about these impossible things. If you everconsidered me a friend, then please stop. I really don't want to continuelistening."

"Cami, you're avoiding the issue. Why did you divorce and still stay withhim? For his sake, are you willing to discard basic principles andintegrity?"

Preston roared like a madman.

Camille's face paled at his last words. Her voice turned indifferent, "It'snone of your business. It has nothing to do with you. It's my affair, and Idon't need you to judge.”

"Cami! I'm doing this for your own good."

“I said, I don't need it."

"Fine, you don't need it. You don't need the good I've given you. Do youreally want Ayan to hurt you? Is that what you want? Ayan is using younow. He sent Cora to a mental hospital, and now that she's out, he'sbeen searching for her. Do you know why? Is it just because he'sworried Cora might go crazy and harm the Simpson family?"

Preston gave a bitter smile. His hand was on his waist, his face etchedwith gravity, his brows furrowed tightly. He said, "Cora knowssomething that Ayan fears. Did he tell you about it? No, right? Whydoesn't he dare to bring it up? What is he afraid of? Cora knows aboutthe conflicts between me and Ayan. She knows that I didn't get alongwith Ayan at first. So, she came to me and wanted to cooperate usingwhat she knew. But Ayan watches her too closely. She can't leaveHance. If Ayan really had nothing to worry about, why would he keepsuch a tight watch over Cora?"

Preston spoke a lot, and every word he said was telling Camille not tofully trust Ayan. But Camille didn't offer much of a response, just sayingcoldly, "Even if what you said is true, it's his matter. If he wants to tellme, he will. If he doesn't want to, he must have his reasons. So, I don'twant to know."

Camille didn't want to hear Preston's nagging anymore. Afterexpressing her thoughts, she hung up the call without waiting for hisresponse.

During the call, Preston did most of the talking, and his words were notwell-received, so they were almost in one ear and out the other forCamille.

After the call, Preston was infuriated. He felt like smashing his phoneinto pieces.

But he didn't have the luxury of time to be angry now. Camille couldn'tprovide any help from her side, so he had to think of another way. Hecouldn't replace Cora for now, so he had to deal with Louise during thisperiod. Only by doing that could he evade the pursuit of the police.

He took a deep breath. What happened during the last couple of dayshad caught him off guard, and he had become visibly worn out in sucha short time. His beard had grown, but he had no intention of groominghimself.

This kind of destitution had happened to him before, sneaking aroundlike a rat. He was tired of it.

But for his ultimate goal, he would endure until the end. Ayan, just wait.The day he tore everything apart would be the day Ayan and theSimpson family would experience his current situation.

Preston didn't have much time left to waste. After midnight, he leftPatrik's apartment.

Before leaving, Preston told Patrik, "Continue with your normal routine,and don't go out of your way to defend me if anyone brings up myname. Maintain a consistent stance with others. I'll replace you after I'mdone with this.”

Patrik nodded in agreement, but with concern, he asked, "Mr. Walker,the Walker Group is being managed by a professional team now. WillMiss Walker and her parents permanently stay abroad?"
