My Ex-husband Begs Me Back1,315 words~7 min read

“I don’t know.” Grandma shook her head without thinking twice.

Ayan volunteered to explain, “That's alright. I just heard the name

mentioned by Camille when she answered the phone. I was worried

that she would get into some trouble but wouldn't tell me, so I want to

ask you. You know, if I force her, she would have a tantrum with me

again. Please don't let her now, otherwise she would be angry.”

He spoke in earnest and humble terms and grandma didn’t doubt him

atall.”

Instead, she said, “Camille didn’t have many friends in Flento City and

you have known the people who are acquainted with her. The Hunter

you mentioned exactly is not among them. If you are worried, I'll ask

her when she comes over later.”

“Well, I'll have someone look into him. Please act like you don’t know.”

“That's alright.”

Grandma agreed.

He got no mews from grandma and looked exceedingly cold and grave.

He wondered if she was hiding it too well or there were any other

reasons.

Rex called right after he left the hospital and asked him to have lunch

together. They haven't seen each other for a long time, so Ayan said

yes.

He sent a message to Camille intentionally, “I will have lunch with Rex

and other friends, would you like to come with me?”

Camille replied, “Well, you guys eat. I'll have lunch with Sienna. In the

afternoon, I have some work to deal with and later I have to go the

hospital to visit grandma.”

“Well, how about having dinner together?”

“That's alright.”

The conversation was simple, like a normal couple.

Ayan felt comfortable with this kind of parent-child reporting.

Camille made sure that Ayan had nothing to say before turning off her

phone and put it down on the desk. She had just talked to Mr. Moss

about the decoration. Nowadays, the decoration was set up officially.

There were a lot of materials in the warehouse every day. Mr. Moss

was worried that something may be wrong, and confirmed with her

every batch of acceptance.

It was a big deal, so Camille couldn't be perfunctory. She had to check

it carefully.

In the afternoon, the office door was knocked on and Preston came in.

Camille looked up and asked, “Well, didn’t you go to Armstrong Corp?”

“I got back just now.”

“How're things going on?”

Preston walked to the desk and sat down. He replied softly, “Well, that's

OK. Maybe the construction will start in the next few days. I went to the

site with Grace today. The surrounding environment is very nice while

the only drawback is that the space is too larger. The party A requires

that in addition to greening, some fitness equipment, children's

playgrounds and other facilities are needed.”

“Are these things on budget? I recommend that we should be careful

not to have any safety concerns especially when it comes to safety.”

Camille advised earnestly.

Preston nodded. “That's what I'm thinking. If anything goes wrong in

the future, not only will it hurt others but it will have a bad influence on

our company and Armstrong Corp.”

“Yeah.” Camille nodded approvingly.

Preston noticed the name of the document she was checking and

asked casually, “Is it the document for Simpson Group?”

“Yeah. There are many batches of materials coming into the warehouse

these days. Each batch needs checking carefully.”

Preston nodded, “Cami, you're still so responsible. Is there anything I

can do for you?”

“Nope. I'm getting ready to finish. It will be more painstaking when the

program of Armstrong Corp you're in charge of set up formally. So,

seize the time to have a break.”

Camille smiled faintly and Preston gave a smile to show that he was

not tired.

After that, they had nothing more to say and the atmosphere went

quiet.

Camille felt a bit awkward as the two of them who kept silent met each

other's eyes occasionally. She didn’t know when there were fewer and

fewer things she wanted to share with Preston.

They talked about the work most of the time. They didn’t go out to have

dinner or talk about each other's personal affairs anymore.

It was like a simple partnership.

Preston had no idea what Camille was thinking certainly. He wanted to

say something but stopped at a second thought. Finally, he said while

looking at Camille, “Cami, I have something to talk with you.”

Camille was a bit surprised, “What's it?"

“You might be unhappy about it, but I don't want to hide it from you. I

think it might be better to tell you after thinking about it.”

He looked serious, which made Camille frown subconsciously.

Camille said, "Go ahead.”

“The nanny who is taking care of your grandmother is the one you got

back from Flento City, right?”

Camille nodded, “Why do you ask it out of the blue?”

“The lady's husband is called Hunter and he has been followed by

Ayan’'s men.”

“Be followed by Ayan’s men? How do you know?” Camille was

surprised.

However, Preston replied calmly, “Hunter and a driver of Walker family

are old friends. My father mentioned that when Molly came back to

Walker family. Then I know that Hunter's wife is the nanny taking care

of grandma, so I asked Walker family to pay more attention.”

Camille gave a deadpan response and asked, “What's Ayan doing on

checking him?”

Preston gave her a hesitant look. “Cami, it may not be very good for me

to tell you. You'd better ask Ayan personally.”

“That's alright. Just tell me.”

Camille wanted to know what Ayan looked up Hunter for?

Preston stayed silent for a while and said, “I heard about that Ayan

suspected that Hunter was the one instigated by grandma who

destroyed his relationship with Eileen and left her in a vegetative state.

I was worried that Ayan would get into trouble with grandma, so I took it

upon myself to have someone keep an eye at the hospital. Ayan went

to hospital today. Did he mention it to you?”

Preston tried to avoid the trivial and dwell on the important.

With an indescribable feeling occurring at the bottom of her heart, she

looked at Preston calmly.

She said, “Did Ayan suspect that Hunter was the one instigated by

grandma to break up his relationship with Eileen? She didn't even know

him before I marred him a year go and my grandma wouldn't sabotage

others.”

She didn’t believe that.

But Preston continued, “I wonder about this, too. But Cami, if Ayan

really doubted grandma, what do you think he would do considering his

concern for Eileen? She's going to into surgery now, so I'm worried

about something unexpected at this point, so...

He stopped at where it should and didn’t go further.

But his words upset Camille.

She didn’t believe her grandma would have done that, nor did she think

grandma had anything to do with it. But what is Ayan looking up Hunter

for?

When it came to her grandma, especially now that the surgery was

coming up, Camille could barely keep calm.

She glanced at Preston and said, “Preston, thank you for telling it to

me.”

“Nothing. Talk to him and don’t misunderstand him. You are pregnant

now and I shouldn't have told you, but I'm worried about you. I don't

want to keep it from you.”

He looked at Camille tenderly.

Camillid nodded slightly. She didn’t want to continue the topic.

At the moment, Preston's phone rang and he said, “It's Grace. Probably

for the project. Don't read into it, talk with Ayan.”

“I gett.”

Camillid gazed after Preston out of her office. Then she picked up her

phone and glanced at it. She hesitated with her lips pursed. Finally, she

decided to ask Ayan.

“Did you go to the hospital to visit grandma today?"

She texted to him.
