My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 884: The Unknown

Chapter 884: The Unknown

Camille said calmly, "I'm not angry.”

"Still saying you're not?" Ayan smiled helplessly. “Look at your face, have you given me a good look since last night till now? Even though you say you're not angry, I know you are because I came home late." Ayan reached out and pulled her back into his arms, comforting her softly. Camille let him do as he pleased.

If he wanted to comfort her, then let him.

Ayan didn't go to the company in the morning. Instead, they had something light to eat at home and then went to Sienna's restaurant at around eleven.

It was still early, and there weren't many customers in the restaurant. Sienna took Camille to the kitchen to watch the chefs cook while Ayan stayed at a table and chatted with Rex.

After the two women disappeared, Rex looked at Ayan and asked, "Where did you go last night? Why didn't you answer your phone? You didn't do anything shady out there, did you? Ayan, don't drag me into trouble. I just got married, and if you get a bad reputation, Sienna might say we are birds of a feather. She might blacklist me."

Rex was extremely anxious. He and Ayan were in the same boat now, and if Ayan messed up, he would be dragged into it as well.

Ayan lifted the teacup in front of him, gave Rex a cold glance, as if looking at a fool. After taking a sip of tea, he casually said, "If Sienna wants to blacklist you, that's your problem. Don't try to blame your issues on me."

“I'm sure it won't be a problem. After all, we just got married, and it's not as long as you've been married, so there will definitely be more conflicts. So, you should be careful not to make Camille angry."

Rex wished he could tell everyone that he was married to Sienna. His attitude was so smug that it bordered on arrogance.

However, Ayan didn't engage in a battle of words with him. He just lightly asked, "Although you say you just got married, you've been together for quite some time, right? It's different from me and Camille. We got married about a year before she got pregnant. Our child is already this big now. Time has passed quickly.”

Ayan snorted, his gaze coldly sweeping over Rex. He had a grudge to settle, and Rex couldn't possibly match him in that regard.

Rex raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and said, "Ayan, you really can't lose at all.”

Ayan didn't speak, and Rex continued, "So, you still haven't told me where you went last night. Can't you even tell me?"

Ayan's smile faded, and a trace of indifference appeared in his deep eyes. He glanced at the entrance not far away to make sure Camille and Sienna hadn't come back before he calmly said, “Cora is missing." Rex immediately frowned, his eyes showing a slightly serious look. He asked, "Missing from the hospital?"

"Yes."

"She's quite capable. You should keep a close eye on the Simpson's mansion. And make sure you have someone looking out for Camille. Cora's not to be trusted; after all, you kept her locked up in a mental hospital for so long. That's probably more painful for her than if you had killed her. So, you need to be careful. She's the kind of person whose mind is twisted. What she'll do next is an unknown."

Rex's warning was something Ayan had already anticipated since the moment he decided to send Cora in.

Cora definitely hated him to the core, but his only wish was that her hatred wouldn't transfer to anyone else, except him.

However, that was just his wish. Whether Cora would do as he hoped was an unknown.

After all, Cora had a history. She was capable of taking Timmy from the Simpson's mansion, pushing down his grandpa. It was enough to show how petty Cora was. Such malice could lead to unpredictable changes, and what those changes would be was an unknown.

Ayan's face darkened slightly. His indifferent voice didn't continue to guess what Cora might be thinking in this situation. Instead, he asked coldly, "Austin isn't in Hance City. It shouldn't be easy for Cora to contact him. But if she's not looking for Austin, then who would she reach out to for help?"

This question had been lingering in his mind ever since he learned that Cora was missing. Until now, he hadn't found an answer that satisfied him.

Because he didn't believe that there was no one helping Cora. She couldn't have left the unfamiliar suburbs by herself.

Rex fell into a momentary silence, but it didn't last long. Suddenly, he said, "If I were Cora, I would contact the person who knows you best and wants to know everything about you."

Ayan's eyes widened at Rex's words, and a slight stiffness appeared in his gaze.

In his subconscious mind, a name popped up, but he didn't say it out loud. However, Rex already guessed it, and they exchanged a knowing look, both aware of each other's thoughts.

At this moment, Sienna and Camille returned with their food.

Seeing their somewhat indifferent expressions and the somber atmosphere, Sienna casually asked, "What are you two talking about?" Rex reached out and picked a piece of fruit from the plate Sienna had placed on the table, feeding it to her. Sienna stared at him, as if asking him why he wasn't answering the question.

Rex smiled and said, "I'm asking Ayan about his married life."

Sienna asked flatly, "Did you learn anything?" But in her heart she did not believe the answer, but she did not ask anything else.

Rex chuckled, "I'm learning. I'll probably get better with more advice from Ayan."

"Then let's look forward to the day of your transformation,” Sienna said, patting his shoulder. She wore an expression that encouraged him to keep going.

Soon the waiter arrived with the food, and Camille ordered the most expensive dish in the store, in addition to a few new dishes. When the food was all served, she looked at Sienna Rex and said, "This is on Mr. Simpson. Everyone just enjoy yourself as much as possible."

Camille winked at Ayan. "Mr. Simpson, is that right?"

Ayan smiled helplessly. "Well, yes, order whatever you want."

Rex and Sienna responded, “Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Simpson. Do you mind if I let someone get two bottles of wine?"

Ayan glances at Rex nonchalantly. "Well, bring it in. You're not getting off this table today until you finish your drink."

Rex immediately looked at Camille: "Cami, you see, your Mr. Simpson usually treats me like this, tut, I won't be petty with him because of you, this if others I would have been sad and hurt."

Camille covered her mouth and smiled. Sienna raised her hand and pushed Rex's head aside. "You really aregood at playing pitiful!" she said.

This elicited laughter from all of them.

The atmosphere during the meal was naturally quite pleasant, and it took nearly two hours to finish.

After the meal, there was still some time before their work hours, so Rex took out a rare tea and had a drink with the three others.

They left one after another when it was time for work.

Oh, by the way, Sienna started working at Camille's company since she returned. She liked designing, so she became the chief designer there. Rex arranged several collaborations for the company because of her, and now she was quite busy every day.

Her busyness was something she complained about as she dealt with it.

On the other side, Ayan drove Camille to the museum.

When the car stopped, Ayan held Camille's hand and kissed it gently. His eyes were full of tenderness, and his voice was soft and hoarse as he said, “I'l come to pick you up after work and take you back to the Simpson's mansion to see Timmy and Grandpa, alright?"

Camille nodded in agreement.

Other than that, she didn't say anything else. Their gazes locked onto each other without blinking. Ayan finally spoke again, "Are you unhappy?"
