Chapter 1207: Illusion

Chapter 1207: Illusion

Camille raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, staring at Sienna as

she said lightly, "Fortunately, I'm a girl. If I were a guy and you were my

girlfriend, you would probably torture me to death, right? Tsk! I really

feel sorry for Rex. He has given so much."

Sienna instinctively wanted to reach out and choke Camille's neck. The

two of them ended up causing a commotion in the office. Finally,

exhausted, they lay down on the sofa together. Camille spoke casually,

“I treat Yessica well because I see myself in her. You might be curious,

even though we are not alike in any way, whether it's our environment,

social circle, or actions. But why do I say that?"

She smiled and continued, "It's because I feel that if I had grown up in a

loving family, I would definitely be like Yessica. She's very innocent.

Although she grew up like most ordinary girls, her parents treated her

very well. They treated her like a friend, constantly calling and caring

for her. They didn't give her any pressure or trouble. Instead, they

became her harbor when she was tired from work. I envy Yessica for

having understanding and loving parents like that. I think if my parents

were like that, I would be the second Yessica."

Camille's words were filled with envy. She genuinely envied Yessica,

but it wasn't out of jealousy. She simply longed for a life like hers.

That's why her good treatment of Yessica was only because she hoped

that Yessica could always have such a beautiful life.

Listening to this, Sienna reached out and held Camille's hand. She

whispered, “I understand what you mean. Let's protect the beautiful

things together. Let the two of us, who have been hurt by the world,

support and encourage each other until the end.”

Camille smiled and locked eyes with Sienna. She said, "You're right.

After all, we're both seasoned veterans of society.”

"Stop it! I can't stand being called “veteran.’ I can hold a grudge, you

know. You just brought up this matter, and I won't let it go easily. So,

when do you plan to have a second child?"

Camille thought about it seriously, then said calmly, “I won't have

another one. I want to give all my motherly love to Timmy alone. I can't

guarantee that if I have a second child, I won't love the second child

more and neglect Timmy. So instead of thinking about something that

hasn't happened yet, it's better to completely block any thoughts of

having a second child."

“You're right. I'll learn from you. Neither of us will have a second child.

We'll give all our love to one child.”

"Good. We can't do it halfway."

Sienna leaned against Camille's shoulder. They had come to work, but

because of Yessica, they completely opened up and had a thorough

conversation. Although they often chatted, it had been a long time since

they had opened their hearts like this.

After discussing the children, they moved on to the topic of weddings.

Sienna asked Camille, "When do you plan to postpone your wedding

with Ayan?"

“It's definitely not possible now. Grandpa is still in the hospital, and we

don't have the mood to prepare for the wedding. Originally, my mom

was taking care of everything for us, but now she has to take care of

Timmy and occasionally visit grandpa in the hospital. She's so busy,

and she doesn't have the time. So, instead of waiting for my wedding,

why don't you go ahead and have yours? It's beneficial for you to get

married early before you and Rex have children.”

"The Ward family has already started preparing, and Rex has given me

a few design studios for wedding dresses, but I haven't had time to

choose."

Distance from the second round of the competition, although there is

still nearly twenty days left, it's not really a lack of time. So Camille

asked, "Is it really a lack of time, or is there some other concern?"

Sienna was directly exposed by her, and naturally, there was no need

to deny it. Camille stared at her, waiting for her answer. After a while,

Sienna opened her mouth and said, "How should I put it? It doesn't

seem to be a specific concern. I'm just simply afraid."

"Afraid? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that Rex's wedding will

be interrupted by a sudden love rival?" Camille said, her smile freezing

on her face, her brows subconsciously furrowing, and her expression

becoming more serious. She said, "Are you worried about Mario?"

"Well, he's in Hance City. Although we haven't seen each other much

these days, and he hasn't called or messaged me proactively, my

mother is still in Hance City, so it's impossible for us not to meet. He's

completely reverted back to his old self, as if he's intentionally creating

an illusion. But his change is too sudden, and it makes me feel like it's

all just a facade."

Sienna became more and more emotional as she spoke. Tears

shimmered in her eyes, and she looked at Camille with uncontrollable

emotions. She whispered, "Cami, I've thought about a lot of things, but I

really don't know how much charm I have that he would calculate so

much. In the end, it's just my unwillingness. He thought I was obedient,

but once I resisted, he felt that everything was out of his control. If I had

really followed his wishes and stayed in the King family at all costs,

even if he married someone else, I would have given up everything and

stayed in the King family, doing everything according to his

arrangements. Maybe today, he would just see me as a chess piece he

brings out to play when he's bored."

Sienna laughed at herself, her eyes filled with coldness, covering all her

expressions. Her voice was full of disdain and sarcasm.

Mario always believed that she was raised by the King family, so she

wouldn't go anywhere except the King family. After all, the King family

had everything, and she had nothing to be dissatisfied with. Besides

love and marriage, which he patched up for her, they gave her

everything. What else could she want?

That's the difference between them, the reason they will never be on

the same path.

But all of that is in the past. There's no need to dwell on the past.

Camille also fell into contemplation because she knew how much

trouble Sienna’s worries and the words she just spoke had caused her.

Sienna gave the impression of being cheerful and lively, but sometimes

she just hides all her vulnerabilities.

Camille looked at her with a worried expression, feeling a sense of

pain. She said, "The past is behind us, but he's still stuck in the same

place. Since he's so nostalgic, let him stay there. As long as you look

forward, it's fine. Don't sacrifice yourself for anyone, and don't hurt

yourself and the people who love you because of anyone. Don't worry

that these troublesome matters will cause trouble for the people around

you and choose to distance yourself. That way, you will only hurt the

people who love you and give those with ulterior motives a chance,

understood?"

Sienna was slightly stunned, and her heavily burdened gaze stared at

Camille. How could she not hear the implications in Camille's words?
