My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 982: Sappy

Chapter 982: Sappy

A handsome face was filled with deep hesitation, and a slight frownappeared between his brows. His profound eyes revealed a touch ofwarmth despite his inner conflict. He maintained this state for a whilebefore reluctantly unlocking his phone and typing in the familiarnumbers. His clean fingertips held a hint of contradiction as he finallypressed the call button.

After a few beeps, the call was quickly answered, and after two or threerings, the other end connected.

A woman's warm voice came through, "Hello?"

"Cami, it's me," he spoke softly.

Camille furrowed her brows slightly and pressed her lips together. "Yes,I know."

Since he called from his own phone, of course, she knew it was him.After Camille's response, Ayan fell silent.

The atmosphere quieted down, as if they could hear each other'sheartbeats. Camille asked softly, "Why are you calling me at this time?"Ayan squinted his eyes slightly and his voice lowered, "What are youdoing now?"

"Getting ready to go to the Simpson's mansion to see Timmy," Camillereplied.

He continued, "Last night was quite late, so I didn't go back toaccompany him. When he grows up a bit more, he'll probably holdgrudges, won't he?"

His voice carried a low chuckle, and a clear sense of amusementflashed in his brow.

Thinking about Timmy, a small smile tugged at Camille's lips. Her voiceremained warm and gentle as she said, "Probably."

Ayan sensed her hesitance in her tone. His deep gaze revealed a touchof seriousness as he asked in a slightly husky voice, "How abouthaving dinner together tonight? There's a new French restaurant. Let'stry it."

Camille also hesitated for a moment. She understood that his invitationwas not just about having dinner because he had mentioned beforewhen she visited Simpson Group that they should talk seriously aboutthis matter once it was resolved. They couldn't keep avoiding it.Camille bit her lip and her voice sounded a bit stiff as she agreed,"Sure, okay."

“I'll pick you up tonight."

“I can go by myself; just send me the address.”

He insisted, his tone gentle but unwavering, “I'll pick you up.”

While his tone was gentle, there was no room for refusal.

Camille squinted her eyes for two or three seconds, and instead ofrefusing outright, she said calmly, "Alright."

With that, the phone call ended. Camille sat on the sofa but remainedmotionless and unresponsive. She had known since the day she foundout that Ayan hadn't divorced her that they would have to have aserious conversation about this matter. However, despite the passingdays, she still wasn't mentally prepared for it. Instead, she felt nervous.Camille bit her lip, feeling extremely anxious. So, she put on a jacketand went next door to replace Sienna.

Due to the recent incidents, both of them hadn't been going to thecompany for the past couple of days. Yessica was there, and she wouldhandle things well.

After meeting with Sienna, Camille immediately shared her thoughtsand feelings. Sienna listened and only asked one question, "Are youstill angry about this?"

"Of course," there was no doubt about her emotions regarding thismatter. She didn't doubt her feelings about it at all. Even now, when shethought about it, she found it hard to accept the concealment.

Camille bit her lip, her expression slightly cold, and her eyes revealed atouch of warmth. She opened her mouth and said softly, "I'm not afraidto face him; I just don't know how to face him. I even replace it difficult tointeract with him now."

"Cami, what you're saying is making me worried," Sienna's expressionturned serious. "Do you still love him?"

"Of course," Camille answered without hesitation. She continued, "Butisn't that a separate issue?"

Loving him was true, but not being able to accept what he had donewas also true.

Camille pressed her lips tightly, and her expression grew colder. Siennaquickly responded, "I understand what you mean. Love doesn't meantolerating everything, right or wrong. That's not an equal relationship,nor is it an equal marriage. If it's equal, then you have the right toexpress what you don't like and can't accept.”

Camille finally smiled and said, "Well, you know me better thananyone."

"Of course, we're practically inseparable, like closer than half-sistersfrom different mothers!" Sienna's cheerful words improved Camille'smood. The pressure in her heart gradually eased. Sienna continued,"Since we're going to talk, let's be open and honest about it. Startingthe conversation earlier will benefit both of you. Delaying it can affectthe relationship.”

Camille nodded lightly, agreeing, "You're right.”

"So, how do you plan to approach this conversation?"

“I don't know, I'll take it step by step and see how he responds.”

"Have you thought about it?" Sienna asked.

Camille didn't hide her feelings and replied, "Yes, I have."

In her heart, she had a clear idea of what Ayan needed to do to makeher feel better. While others might view their situation as having all thepieces for reconciliation, she believed that certain issues needed to beresolved clearly. Otherwise, this would linger in her heart, and her trustin Ayan would forever remain in doubt.

Camille bit her lip, her voice tinged with stiffness, and she asked, "Doyou think Ayan will understand me?"

Sienna affectionately pinched her cheek and smiled, "You're stillconcerned about his feelings."

"So, I'm a very contradictory person. On one hand, I care a lot abouthim, but on the other hand, I have to make sure this issue is resolved.Being so conflicted, I must be annoying, right?"

Camille was feeling anxious about this matter, especially with Fletcher,Talia, and Old Simpson planning to return to Hance soon. She wantedto resolve this before their return so they wouldn't have to worry aboutit.

Camille pressed her lips slightly, and the expression on her face was alittle aggrieved, which made Sienna smile: "Annoying? I love you toomuch, how can I replace you annoying? You mustn't think of yourself likethat. No one will think you're annoying, especially Ayan, who will loveyou until his death.”

Sienna has been watching Ayan's love for Camille until now, and shecan clearly feel that Ayan really loves Camille. There are some thingsthat onlookers can clearly see and feel. Of course, this does not onlyrefer to what they can see with their eyes. There are feelings that wordscan't express.

Camille pressed her lips tightly, her expression slightly dejected. Shelooked at Sienna and said, "Don't be so cheesy.”

Sienna laughed, "Embarrassed?"

Camille fell silent, but her earlier anxiety had diminished.

She stayed for lunch at Sienna's place, and they watched two movieson the couch. They were so immersed in the films that they felt a bitdrowsy. Camille ended up falling asleep on the couch.

Her nap was deep, and she didn't hear the alarm ringing. Even thehousekeeper didn't dare to disturb the two of them. They thought theyneeded the rest after watching movies for so long.

However, by the time it was past six o'clock, Ayan had arrived inFranklin Bay, and he still hadn't seen Camille. She wasn't answering hiscalls or replying to messages.

Ayan's face was pale, and he sat on the couch in the villa. He askedthe maid standing nearby with a low voice, "Has she been out sincemorning?"

"Yes, she went out early, just said she was going for a walk and calledbefore lunch to say she wouldn't be coming back for the meal.” Thehousekeeper mentioned that Camille had left wearing casual homeattire, but she hadn't specified where she was going. This made Ayan'sexpression even worse.

Seeing his displeasure, the housekeeper cautiously asked, "Would youlike to check next door at Mrs. Ward's house? Maybe she went out withMrs. Ward."

It was then that Ayan remembered Sienna.

With that thought, he immediately got up and walked briskly towardsSienna and Rex's villa.

When Ayan arrived at Sienna and Rex's villa, he rang the doorbell. Thehousekeeper answered and recognized Ayan, politely greeting him.Ayan merely nodded lightly and asked in a low voice, "Is my wifehere?"
