Chapter 1052: Run away
Camille didn't respond, just continued to let Sienna massage her shoulders. Her expression had
softened, and she even smiled a little. "Sure, why not? Let's get a lifetime membership."
"Are you that generous? You'd just get a lifetime membership without worrying that I'd take your money
and run?"
"Where could you possibly run to?"
Camille had no worries.
Sienna continued the massage for a while before asking, "Do you feel more comfortable now?"
Camille smiled and looked into Sienna's eyes. Then she said, her voice soft, "Guess why she came
today?"
"I don't know. I thought she was here to make a scene again, so I was prepared. I regret not doing
anything last time. This time, I'll make sure to stand up for you!"
Sienna was full of anger and disapproval about Page.
Camille felt grateful for Sienna's support. She reached out to squeeze Sienna's arm. "Thank you for
thinking like this."
"Between you and me, we don't need to thank each other. Although we're not related by blood, we've
known each other for so many years, and our bond is stronger than with family or childhood friends."
Sienna was right. They were like family to each other. Sienna asked, "So, why did she come in? Did
she want you to leave with Wesley?"
Camille shook her head and denied that. She slowly revealed the purpose of Page's visit, "She came to
apologize."
"Apologize?!"
Camille asked, "Are you surprised too?"
Sienna furrowed her brows, and her expression of shock remained undiminished. She said, "I am
indeed surprised. To be honest, I find it hard to believe that she came to apologize to you. What about
you? Do you believe it?"
Camille managed a bitter smile, her voice devoid of warmth as she replied, "Naturally, I don't believe it.novelbin
What kind of apology comes after what happened last night? Shouldn't it have sparked anger instead?
Why apologize now? And how could such an apology even occur between them and me? If they were
capable of doing so, they would have done it long ago. The fact that they never did in the first place
makes it impossible for me to believe in this apology now."
Camille couldn't convince herself in any way. This was an absolute impossibility.
If it wasn't real, what could Page's true purpose be?
Camille's emotions grew more agitated as she spoke. While she initially thought she could remain
composed, she couldn't suppress her inner frustration and emotions when talking to Sienna, her
closest confidante.
She took a deep breath to regain her composure and looked at Sienna. Then she asked, "So, what do
you think I should do?"
Sienna listened with a great deal of displeasure. She snorted and said, "She's definitely up to no good.
You mustn't be deceived. If she's truly changed her ways and realized her mistakes, why didn't she
apologize and make amends earlier?"
"I share the same thought. That's why I didn't believe it," Camille responded. If it were real, Camille
thought that time would be the witness. If they were indeed seeking to rebuild their mother-daughter
relationship and had truly changed, time would tell the truth.
Sienna didn't press further, but she asked about the events of the previous night, "So, what happened
last night? Did you have an argument or something?"
Given that it was so late last night, and Camille and Ayan had been walking outside her house, it didn't
seem like something had gone wrong at the time.
Camille sighed as she recounted the events at the Simpson's mansion from last night.
As she spoke, Sienna immediately chimed in, "They must be out of their minds, right? They didn't show
you any respect at all, did they? It's fortunate that it's the Simpson family, and Ayan and his parents
and grandfather are not the kind to mind such things. If it were a different husband and in-laws, they'd
be pushing you into a difficult situation."
Sienna's words brought back images to Camille's mind, and she realized that Sienna was right. No one
would want an unhappy, unwelcome daughter-in-law, and Camille was fortunate to have Fletcher, Talia,
and the elderly Mr. Simpson be so accepting and loving toward her.
Camille gave a sheepish smile and said, "The Simpson family's kindness towards me is something they
can never match. While it's true that giving birth is a significant gesture, it's meaningless without proper
upbringing. An unhappy family environment affects the children profoundly."
Sienna embraced Camille and reassured her in a low voice, "Don't worry. We don't need their kindness.
Even without their support, there are many others who care for you. Look, don't we love you?"
Sienna had a way of making Camille feel better, even during the toughest moments.
With Sienna's comforting words, Camille's doubts and worries began to dissipate, and she was able to
continue working with Sienna on their afternoon tasks.
The time for the design competition had been set, with about two months remaining for the preliminary
round. However, the deadline for submission was just a month away. The preliminary round was done
through online submissions, and candidates had to use their pseudonyms. Only if their work was
selected would they advance to the competition. So, this phase was crucial to determine whether they
had what it took to compete.
Sienna was getting nervous, despite Camille's presence. She felt an unspoken sense of unease,
especially during this critical time. She watched Camille meticulously revise the drawings and asked
anxiously, "Cami, do you think we'll make it through the preliminary round?"
Camille glanced at Sienna, seeing the concern in her eyes. She continued to edit the drawings, her
voice steady, "Whether we make it through is not something we should be worried about. It's up to the
judges. What we should do is give it our all. If we've decided to participate, we need to showcase our
true talent, right?"
"Yeah, you're right. I've been overthinking this, and now I feel a lot of pressure."
"Then don't overthink it. If we make it, that's great. If not, don't be disheartened. It's just a competition.
Perhaps this time, we haven't encountered judges who appreciate our work. But there will be others
who will. As long as our work is good, it'll be recognized sooner or later."
"Right, Teacher Armstrong's advice is on point."
Camille began to tease Sienna, and her lighter tone helped lift the mood.
Sienna played along and said, "Since Teacher Armstrong's advice is so good, let's listen to Teacher
Armstrong and get back to work, shall we?"
"Sure!"
Sienna nodded and immediately returned to work.
After finishing work, Camille and Sienna left the office together. Since Page had invited Camille for
dinner, Camille decided to have the meal at Sienna's restaurant because she felt it was the safest
choice, given their previous encounters with Page.
Sienna accompanied Camille to the restaurant. On the way, she called Ayan to inform him that they
would be having dinner and returning later. Ayan asked, "You're having dinner with Sienna?"
Camille responded, "Can I tell you about it when I get back tonight? I'm driving to the restaurant now."
"Alright, come back early."
"Okay, got it."
After ending the call, Camille placed her phone down.
Sienna clicked her tongue softly and said, "Look at Mr. Simpson acting like he can't be away from you
for a moment. He's already telling you to come back early after a simple dinner. I'm guessing he's
secretly cursing me for taking away your personal time. So, I hope you make things clear in the future.
Don't make me take the blame. After all, I'm not having dinner with you, so I shouldn't bear that
burden!"
