Chapter 1566: Control
"No need to be polite."
"Sorry!!!" Jordan whispered, "I caused you trouble because of me."
"It's okay, I don't mind at all. Besides, it's already resolved, right? It's no big deal!" Camille responded cheerfully, her voice tinged with a hint of joy. She continued, "Don't worry, I'm really fine."
Jordan just smiled and murmured, "Thank you for understanding. Ayan also helped resolve the matter."
"It's all the same. As long as the outcome is what we both want, it's good!" Camille continued.
Jordan nodded in agreement.
Just as the two finished talking, Ayan finished paying the bill and returned.
It was getting late, and the three of them left the restaurant.
Their cars were waiting outside, and after saying their goodbyes at the door, they got into their respective vehicles.
Jordan's car left first, and Ayan didn't rush Kian to drive while sitting in the car. After a brief wait of two or three minutes, Kian turned around and said, "Mr. Simpson, the photos have been sent. Would you like to take a look?"
Ayan reached out his hand to indicate that he wanted to see, and Kian immediately handed him the phone.
Ayan glanced at the few photos on the phone and returned it to Kian. His warm voice resounded, "Hmm, let them send it out!"
Kian nodded in agreement, and only then did he start the car.
Throughout the entire conversation, Camille had no idea what they were talking about.
After the car left the restaurant entrance and officially entered the road, Camille finally asked in a low voice, "What photos are they talking about?"
Ayan replied, "You'll know once we get back to the hotel."
It would take some time to post them online, and they would be almost ready by the time they returned to the hotel.
Ayan's estimation was accurate. As soon as the two returned to the hotel room, Camille couldn't wait any longer and asked eagerly, "What photos are they? Now that we're back at the hotel, can't you show me?"
Only then did Ayan let her open her phone and log in to Weibo to see. Camille saw the photos of the three of them having a lively conversation at dinner tonight, and the atmosphere seemed incredibly harmonious and comfortable.
There was also a scene of Ayan chatting with Jordan while Camille went to the restroom. Their relationship seemed very familiar, and their conversation flowed naturally without any awkwardness. These photos were released to counter the random speculations of netizens, so naturally, there wouldn't be much to say now.
Of course, even if everything was done perfectly, there would still be nitpickers. However, Ayan had explained what needed to be explained, and he didn't want to bother with other people's thoughts. They had booked a flight back to Hance City tomorrow morning, and there were still many unresolved issues between them that needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.
On the way back to Dane City, Ayan had already asked Kian to investigate Camille's recent situation during this week. However, Kian's investigation didn't reveal anything unusual, so Ayan still didn't have a clear idea of what had happened to Camille.
The first thing they did when they returned to Hance City wasn't to go home, but to head straight to the hospital.
The news about Camille and Jordan had spread online, and although they had both called the old Simpson and briefly explained that nothing was wrong, the old Simpson still sensed that there seemed to be some conflict between them.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Although he didn't express his emotions and thoughts directly to them, he shared his worries and speculations with Fletcher and Talia.
To alleviate the old Simpson's concerns, the two of them went directly to the hospital from the airport.
When they saw the old Simpson, they were both in their usual state, making it difficult for the old Simpson to determine if they really had any conflicts.
The old Simpson stared at the two
of them for a while, but in the end, he couldn't figure anything out. He could only say, "I don't want to meddle in your young people's affairs anymore. Whatever you have to deal with, do it yourselves only have one request: don't hurt your relationship, especially Ayan, don't let Cami down."
The phrase "don't let Cami down" stirred up Camille's emotions. She tightly pursed her lips and looked at the old Simpson, but in her mind, she couldn't help but think about the photos her aunt brought back that night.
She took a deep breath and told
herself that maybe it wasn't real, but she couldn't find a way to ask. There were things she genuinely didn't know how to bring up, and she didn't want to confront Ayan directly about
it. swhovel.net
It wasn't a lack of trust in him, but rather her own insecurity, which made her feel extremely lacking in confidence.
Camille suppressed her inner emotions and thoughts and spoke gently to the old Simpson, "Grandfather, don't worry. If he has done something that upsets me, I will definitely tell you, and you'll have my back." Camille didn't want to use the word "let down," so she substituted it with "something that upsets me."
The old Simpson was delighted by Camille's thoughts, and he genuinely hoped she would act accordingly. His only concern was that Camille refused to speak up, as she seemed to bear everything alone. He felt deep sympathy for Camille in his heart, and his words were filled with love and care for her.
Ayan had grown accustomed to the conversations between Camille and the old Simpson, so he wasn't surprised.
However, he did notice Camille's unusual mood, and his profound gaze revealed a hint of curiosity. Due to the inappropriate setting, he had to temporarily set aside his curiosity.
After spending a considerable amount of time with the old Simpson at the hospital, Camille and Ayan finally left. They were tired from their recent trip from Dane City, so they headed straight back to Franklin Bay.
On the way home, Camille leaned her head on Ayan's shoulder, but her gaze remained fixed on the window, lost in thought.
Ayan gently grasped her hand and asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Only then did Camille show a slight reaction and spoke softly, "I was just thinking about how my grandfather would deal with you if you truly upset me!"
After Camille's words, Ayan didn't respond because his intuition told him that Camille's answer wasn't genuine.
Her silence now mirrored the emotions she had earlier in the hospital room when she seemed lost in thought, so her response was merely a dismissal.
Ayan was someone who needed to understand everything clearly. He felt at ease only when he had control over the situation.
But Camille's thoughts had already surpassed his control, which inevitably worried him.
Upon returning to Franklin Bay, Camille went inside first to discuss some work matters with Kian. She was eager to video chat with Timmy, so she didn't dwell on it. Once Camille went inside, Ayan turned to Kian and asked, "Has Preston been up to anything recently? Is he still causing trouble?"
Kian replied, "He has been meeting Daisy more frequently. Daisy is already selecting office locations, so it seems like they're really going to start a business together." "Selecting office locations? Have they found a suitable one?" Ayan asked indifferently.
