Chapter 1110: Balance
Ayan held the unfinished drink in one hand, a faint smile in his eyes as
he looked at Camille beside him. His thin lips lightly parted, and he
said, "Not a fan.â
âIf you don't like it, why did you ask me to buy it? Do you want to talk to
Grandpa privately?" Camille looked at Ayan without paying attention to
the road. With Ayan by her side, she didn't need to worry about
navigating. She voiced her speculations, "Is it about Grandpa's
hospitalization? Are you afraid Grandpa will get anxious?"
Ayan, hearing her question, nodded in agreement.
Camille continued, âYour concern isn't unreasonable. Grandpa might
feel a bit stifled after staying in the hospital for a long time. It's right to
comfort him more."
Ayan didn't respond to Camille's words but changed the subject,
saying, "You don't need to come see Grandpa tomorrow. Spend the
night at the Simpson's mansion with Timmy!"
Camille nodded slightly but expressed concern, âIf I don't come to keep
Grandpa company, will he feel disappointed?â
"He won't. Dad will come tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, we'll
have Aria visit. Then, it'll be our turn. Everyone doesn't need to be with
him every day; it might make him feel pressured. Taking turns to keep
him company will be more enjoyable, and he might even come to love
staying here. After all, there's always someone around to accompany
him."
Ayan chuckled softly, understanding the old Simpson's preferences
well. However, his words caused Camille to narrow her eyes slightly.
Camille said lightly, "You're just making things up; I'll tell Grandpa.â
"Now you're threatening me?"
"Hmm!"
"Are you this heartless?" Ayan chuckled, lowly sighed, "Can't you be a
bit nicer to me?"
Camille remained silent. The two of them took the elevator down to the
parking lot, the car just a few steps away from the elevator. They
quickly got in.
Camille whispered, "Ayan, Grandpa always protects me in front of you.
Does that make you uncomfortable?"
Hearing Camille suddenly ask such a question, Ayan was also
momentarily stunned. The hand that was about to fasten the seatbelt
froze.
His black-and-white distinct eyes instinctively revealed a warm gaze as
he looked at Camille. His voice, low and hoarse, said, "Do you know
what you're talking about?"
Camille nodded gently.
Ayan continued, "Since you know what you're saying, tell me, why
would I be unhappy?"
"Did I take away the affection Grandpa should have for you?" Camille
tentatively asked.
Ayan smiled, "What have you done to take away Grandpa's affection
for me? So, you tell me, what's our relationship? Should I be jealous or
happy that Grandpa treats you well?"
Camille's eyelashes trembled slightly, her facial expression instantly
softening, and her heart had already found an answer.
Seeing Camille not responding, Ayan's voice sounded again. He asked,
"Why aren't you answering me? Huh?"
Camille pursed her lips lightly, her gaze shifting to the side. She didn't
want to engage with Ayan, simply saying, "Drive quickly; I'm tired and
want to go home to sleep.â
Ayan looked at her dodging the main point, lightly snorted, "You only
know how to bully me."
Camille didn't respond. He said she bullied him, and well, after all, she
had debts to settle.
Who made her like him for so many years, and he hadn't given her the
slightest response?
Camille thought lightly, but there was a faint smile playing on her lips
where Ayan couldn't see.
A dreamless night passed, and it was another morning.
Everyone was busy with their respective tasks, and the design
competition was about to begin in a few days, so Camille was quite
occupied these days.
According to Rex, Sienna hadn't had much sleep these days. Probably
afraid of bothering him, they slept separately at night. It was as if they
had already stepped into an elderly couple's life in advance. This made
Rex quite dissatisfied, so he immediately went to protest to Ayan.
Rex complained to Ayan, âCan you make this damn competition end
sooner?"
Ayan glanced at Rex indifferently, as if looking at a fool. Rex said,
"Sienna and I are preparing for pregnancy. Look at how busy she is.
Even busier than me. If you didn't know, you'd think she owns some big
corporation!"
Ayan put down his work, raised his head, and scanned Rex with an
indifferent and cold gaze. His voice was indifferent and cold as he said,
"A man shouldn't shirk the responsibility of not being able to conceive
onto women and work. You should find reasons within yourself."
Ayan's indifferent words made Rex's eyes subconsciously widen.
Rex couldn't believe what he had just heard. He looked at Ayan in
shock and asked, "Ayan, what do you mean by that?"
"What do you mean? Don't you understand?" Ayan asked indifferently.
Rex suddenly felt that he had been insulted beyond belief. He looked at
Ayan in disbelief and said, "Ayan, are you insulting me?"
"Really?" Ayan said indifferently, âI'm just stating the facts. Don't jump to
conclusions. Are you really this kind of person?"
Rex felt as if he had been deeply humiliated. He couldn't believe what
he had heard. Incredulously, he said, "Ayan, what do you mean by
this?"
"What do you mean you don't understand?" Ayan asked indifferently.
Rex instantly felt that he had been deeply humiliated. He couldn't
believe what he had heard. Incredulously, he said, "Ayan, you are
insulting me!"
"Do 1?" Ayan said indifferently, "I'm just stating the facts. Don't jump to
conclusions. Are you really this kind of person?"
In a battle of wits, Rex had never been Ayan's match, so no matter
what Ayan said, he couldn't argue against it.
In the end, unable to continue defending himself, Rex could only sigh
helplessly and say, "Ayan, I didn't mean that. I just feel that it's too
busy. Do you think Camille is not busy? Do you want her to be so busy
and indifferent to you?"
Do I want that?
Of course not.
After all, Camille had been too busy and indifferent to him. He had
protested before, so naturally, he understood Rex's thoughts. However,
he wouldn't say it out loud.
He remained unfazed and said indifferently, âThey have their own
things to do. Don't you want her to stay at home waiting for you every
day?"
"Well, that would be good. At least, I can see her when I come home."
"She's not your accessory. If you make such demands, I advise you to
dispel this idea early. After all, Mario will be in Hance City soon. If you
don't change your mindset, according to Sienna's character, she will
definitely carefully examine the relationship between you two."
Ayan also thought it wasn't good for Camille to be too busy, but he
wouldn't stop her from having her own career. He wouldn't let her give
up on herself, because when a person loses themselves, they start to
have wild thoughts. It's like a beautiful flower losing its radiance after
losing the sunlight.
