“Not really. After all, we’re living separately now, so I don’t miss you that much,” Camille said casually, but there was a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth.
“Hmm, alright. Let me see if you really miss me when I get back.” She noticed a trace of displeasure in his voice.
“Are you threatening me?” Camille asked indifferently.
“What makes you think that? Of course, I’m not threatening you,” Ayan replied.
Camille asked with indifference, “Really?”
Ayan just smiled and said, “How could I? If I even dare to threaten you, I won’t even get a glance from you next time I stand in front of you.”
“Mr. Simpson, you sound clearly displeased,” Camille laughed along.
Ayan denied it naturally.
At this moment, Camille didn’t feel like sleeping anymore. She turned over and lay on the bed, whispering softly, “Actually, I miss you a lot. I’m sleeping on your bed right now. Can you blame me for not missing you?”
Camille spoke softly, and the man’s voice stopped as well.
Both of them fell silent. She could only hear the man’s clear breathing.
After a few seconds, he spoke in a low and hoarse voice, “Wait for me to come back, alright?”
“Let’s see how you behave. Maybe tomorrow I won’t miss you anymore,” Camille teased him intentionally.
Ayan was extremely doting towards her now, and his words were filled with love.
So if both of them had each other in their hearts, even without a marriage certificate as proof, it seemed like there wouldn’t be any problems.
They chatted for a long time until Camille felt sleepy.
In a daze, she seemed to hear the sound of an elevator arriving at the floor from Ayan’s side. But because she was too tired, she didn’t ask him.
After Camille fell asleep, Ayan hung up the phone.
Ayan had just arrived at his hotel room. He came to Flento City for work and had been busy with work all day. As for the Bill family, he would only have time to meet them tomorrow afternoon.
It was just a meeting and wouldn’t take much time, so he didn’t have much time to spare for the Bill family.
After returning to his room and freshening up, Kian came knocking on his door.
“Mr. Simpson, Crystal just contacted me. She wants to meet tomorrow and hopes to meet earlier.”
“She must want to meet me now, right?” Ayan said with some sarcasm.
Kian lowered his head and said, “From what she said, it seems that the Bill family has been putting continuous pressure on her, which is why she’s so eager to meet with you.”
“Arrange the meeting and remind Crystal that if there are any leaks during their conversation, they will never achieve their goals.”
Regarding Camille’s matter, he must be careful.
Kian nodded and then left the room.
Ayan’s face remained gloomy. This matter seemed to have gone beyond his control.
This wasn’t a good sign, so he had to put an end to it as soon as possible.
If he let the Bill family continue doing whatever they wanted, they would probably have to go directly to Camille very soon.
Ayan squinted his eyes with a cold and indifferent look. After a while, he picked up his phone and made a call.
Although it wasn’t late at night now, it wasn’t early either.
It rang several times before the other party answered with a deliberately lowered voice. “What’s wrong? Any orders?”
“Are you asleep?”
“Just putting someone to sleep. You know how pregnant women are. They have some temper.” Rex couldn’t say three sentences without mentioning his pregnant wife. He was afraid people wouldn’t know that he was going to be a father.
Ayan had gotten used to it and didn’t want to argue with him. He simply said, “Are you available?”
“Speak!”
“Do something for me.”
“Is it something good or bad?”
“It might make your wife hate you.” Ayan chuckled.
Rex looked bitter. “Mr. Simpson, my wife is pregnant. I haven’t even enjoyed being a father yet. Are you trying to tear our family apart?”
Ayan’s smile remained on his lips as he said, “It’s not that serious. Don’t worry. You won’t lose out.”
Rex felt slightly relieved and asked, “So what do you want me to do?”
…
After he finished speaking, there was silence on Rex’s end of the line for so long that one might think the call had ended.
After nearly ten seconds passed, Rex finally said, “Ayan, are you sure this won’t make me lose out? If my wife finds out about this… Do you think I’ll have a good life?”
“Just be careful,” Ayan replied.
“Why don’t you do it yourself?”
“We’re different,” Ayan said helplessly as he looked at the night view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of his riverside hotel room. The scenery was quite good from here.
Rex snorted lightly and said, “How are we different? We both have two eyes and one mouth.”
“You have a wife and an unborn baby, while I’m still pursuing my wife. Do you think it’s the same?” Ayan replied irritably.
Rex laughed, “That’s true. Ayan, you’ve changed a lot. It’s good that you know your place. Keep up the good work!”
“In that case, I’ll leave what I just said to you,” Ayan said decisively.
“Alright then. Leave it to me since you’re in such a pitiful state,” Rex replied.
“Okay then.”
After saying that, Ayan hung up.
Rex was somewhat stunned and full of doubts. Why did he feel like he had been fooled by Ayan?
But everything was too late… He had already agreed and had no choice but to do it.
The next day.
Around three o’clock in the afternoon.
Ayan arrived at the Belrose with Kian. The Belrose was an iconic building and hotel in Flento City that had been around for a long time. It didn’t belong to any specific company but was owned by the city itself.
They arranged to meet here to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by certain people meddling in their affairs.
Ayan arrived first, settling into the spacious private room. Kian said, “Mr. Simpson, I’ve arranged for everything to be checked and double-checked. Everything is ready. The afternoon tea has also been set up.”
After all, it wasn’t mealtime, so they could only have tea and snacks.
Ayan had already extended his courtesy.
He glanced at the time. There were about ten minutes until the meeting.
In a calm tone, he said, “When they arrive, have the hotel block all signals in this room.”
“Understood. It’s already taken care of,” Kian replied.
As soon as Kian finished speaking, a server knocked and entered to announce that the guests had arrived.
Ayan gave Kian a look, and he immediately went out to greet them.
Ayan remained seated on the sofa, waiting for Kian to bring the guests in.
Crystal was naturally the first to enter, followed by four others-two men and two women.
Including Crystal, there were five people in total. One man and one woman were around the same age as Crystal, while the other pair appeared to be older, about the same age as Fletcher and Talia.
Once they entered, Crystal took the initiative to introduce everyone. Ayan simply nodded slightly, acknowledging the introductions.
