Chapter 1041 Tired
Yeah, they're not even step-parents. Why would they treat their biological daughter like this?
Ayan made a faint hum, his expression deepening. He didn't voice his thoughts but just looked at
Fletcher Talia. "I'll check on Cami and Grandpa."
"Sure, go ahead. Comfort Cami as much as possible, don't let her be sad. If the Armstrong family treats
her badly, we should treat her even better, understand?"
"I do," Ayan said with a faint smile. He then headed towards the room of the old Simpson.
With Ayan gone, only Talia and Fletcher remained in the hall.
Fletcher calmly said, "I wonder what the Armstrong family will do after today."
"Are you worried they'll continue spreading rumors like they did this morning?"
"It's not out of the realm of possibility." Fletcher had a serious expression, and his voice was low and
deep. "I'm not so concerned about their actions endangering the Simpson family or Simpson Group.
Simpson Group has adhered to the rules for so many years and hasn't done anything out of bounds.
Even if they want to target Simpson Group, it can withstand an investigation. I'm just worried about
what they might do to Cami."
"What can they do? Cami has Ayan with her; they wouldn't dare."
"It's always good to be cautious." Fletcher's face grew even darker, and he recalled the advice given to
him by the old Simpson. His mood darkened even further.
However, Talia didn't notice his unease. She simply furrowed her brow slightly and spoke in a
dispassionate tone, "I won't discuss it with you. I'm going to check on Timmy. I wonder if he's asleep at
this hour?"
Since Timmy was entrusted to Talia, she had devoted most of her time to him. It didn't mean she lost
her personal space, but instead of attending various gatherings alone as before, she now took Timmy
with her. The other wives observed this and grew envious. They began to rush her to get married and
have children and become grandparents.
Talia's friends also loved Timmy very much, and their affection was genuine. This made Talia wonder:
"Look at the Armstrong family. They're here at our house, but they haven't expressed any interest in
seeing Timmy. To them, where is Cami, and where is Timmy? That's why I'm a hundred percent against
letting Cami go with them. These people are only concerned with their interests, so they can't possibly
treat Camille and Timmy well."
The more Talia thought about it, the more she felt this way. Who doesn't cherish their grandchildren?
After all, they are the children of their own daughter. Shouldn't they love them even more? Every time
she thought about Brody and Page's expressions, it made her uncomfortable. She silently told herself
that she had to be doubly good to Camille and Timmy.
Talia was indeed a person with a good heart.
In the old Simpson's bedroom.
After Camille had accompanied the old Simpson back to the room, the old Simpson had Kit get some
water and close the door. The room was left with only the old Simpson and Camille.
The old Simpson sat in a armchair, and Camille took a seat on a stool. She gazed at the old Simpson
and asked, "Grandpa, are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
The old Simpson shook his head and looked at Camille. "Cami, have they been trying to contact you a
lot lately?"
Camille was slightly puzzled by the old Simpson's question but nodded truthfully. "Yes, they did reach
out, but I blocked them. So, I can't contact them, and it's quite challenging even if I wanted to."
The old Simpson responded, "That's good. As long as you're not being mistreated, there's no need to
worry about others' opinions and feelings all the time." His words showed his partiality and protection
for Camille.
Camille nodded gently and spoke softly, "Grandpa, don't worry. I will take care of myself. If anyone
bullies me, I will tell you, okay?"
The old Simpson was satisfied and nodded in agreement. "Good, it's a promise."
Camille responded promptly, "Yes, it's a promise." She was concerned for the old Simpson and asked,
"Grandpa, are you really okay?"
The old Simpson reassured her, "I'm fine. Although I may be getting old and my health isn't the best, I
can still take care of you."
Camille smiled and said, "You can protect not only me but also the entire Simpson family!"
The old Simpson always enjoyed chatting with Camille, even if their conversations were mundane. He
found happiness in talking with her.
Thinking about today's events, Brody and Page's reactions, and the online rumors they had spread, the
old Simpson's face turned unsightly. He frowned deeply, his expression growing cold. The old
Simpson's eyes concealed something significant, making his emotions highly unstable.
The old Simpson didn't immediately share his thoughts but looked at Camille with a complex
expression. She noticed his uneasiness and asked, "Grandpa, why are you looking at me like that? Are
you feeling unwell?"
Camille was deeply concerned for the old Simpson, and he shook his head but replied in a low voice,
"Cami, you don't need to take their words to heart. Don't trust the Armstrong family; their words are not
reliable."
This was the first time Camille had heard the old Simpson express such a sentiment. Even though they
had discussed the Armstrong family in the past, he had never explicitly advised her not to believe them.
Camille was taken aback, knowing that the old Simpson wasn't the kind of person who would
intentionally badmouth others behind their backs. Furthermore, given his age, he had no ulterior
motives. His words had only one outcome: he genuinely cared for Camille. They also implied that the
Armstrong family was genuinely untrustworthy.
While Camille was aware of this and didn't trust the Armstrong family, the old Simpson's words still
surprised her.
Camille chose not to inquire further but simply nodded, saying, "Grandpa, you don't have to worry. Inovelbin
understand. I know how to handle it, so don't worry about me."
The old Simpson remained concerned, saying, "You have a soft heart. While you may say you can
protect yourself, when faced with a real situation, you might soften. Cami, even though the Armstrong
family is part of your family, let me emphasize this: don't believe everything they say. If you have any
doubts, come and ask me, okay?"
His words carried a significant implication, and Camille sensed that there was more to them than met
the eye. She wondered if she was reading too much into it.
Camille was puzzled by the old Simpson's words and couldn't make sense of what he was hinting at.
Nonetheless, she nodded in agreement.
As their conversation continued, a knock on the door interrupted them. Ayan entered the room, his
gaze first landing on Camille and then on the old Simpson. After assessing their expressions and
ensuring that everything was normal, he said, "Grandpa, are you tired? If you are, you should rest
soon, okay?"
The old Simpson wasn't pleased with Ayan's words, and his gaze turned stern. He retorted, "Do I look
tired to you?"
With a light hum, the old Simpson glared at Ayan, his stern expression clear.
Camille saw this and almost laughed but restrained herself, knowing that Ayan could be vengeful.
Laughing now might lead to her own payback later.
Camille lowered her head to hide her facial expression from Ayan and remained silent with her lips
slightly pursed.
Ayan didn't speak and simply stared at the old Simpson with a furrowed brow. He glanced at Camille
from the corner of his eye. As a result, there was no immediate response.
The old Simpson expressed his discontent. "You don't even want to respond when I'm talking to you?
You plan to deal with this on your own? Have you considered that believing their words without
question could lead to trouble for both Cami and you?"
