Chapter 1327: The Price
"I know the flight was delayed, otherwise I would have arrived earlier in the morning. I didn't tell you
because I wanted to surprise you," he whispered softly, gently holding Camille's hand.
Camille pursed her lips and hummed lightly, "You came back on your own this time?"
Ayan nodded, "Of course."
"What about Daisy? Isn't she supposed to come to Hance City?"
"She should be here in a couple of days. My return was a last-minute notification to them, so they didn't
have time to prepare."
Camille nodded, saying, "Since we've chosen to cooperate, are you prepared to face her?"
In truth, this question seemed more like she was asking herself. Ayan had asked for her opinion, and
she had agreed, so was she mentally prepared to face Daisy?
Ayan also sensed the underlying meaning in her words. He gently lifted her chin and murmured softly,
"There's no need to prepare for anything. Whether it's Daisy or the Tillery Group, they are just business
partners for us. The Simpson Group has dealt with partners before, so why should we prepare?
Besides, this is Hance City, our territory. We don't need to bow to anyone."
Ayan embraced Camille gently, his tender voice still continuing, "But you need to make some time for
me. After Daisy arrives in Hance City, the Simpson Group will host a dinner for her as the host."
"Is it appropriate for me to go?" Camille asked with a smile.
"Of course, you're Mrs. Simpson of the Simpson Group, a shareholder. Don't forget, you have shares in
the Simpson Group, so it's completely legitimate."
Camille nestled in his arms, a hint of a smile playing on her lips as she softly said, "So, what kind of
person is Daisy?"
Because she had never encountered such a woman before. Even Eileen, who had always stayed by
Ayan's side for her own purposes, knew that Ayan was married and felt fearful in his presence. If Eileen
looked up to Ayan out of necessity, then Alicia, from the Nores family, also a prominent family, an only
child raised with love and affection, must be a confident young lady. However, even Alicia dared not
openly demand to marry him.
Is it because of different backgrounds and ideologies that Daisy's thoughts are different?
Camille pursed her lips, feeling a bit displeased at these thoughts. She casually told Ayan, "Let's not let
my parents know about Daisy for now. Otherwise, my parents and grandfather won't let you off the
hook."
If it was simply for business cooperation, Camille felt there was nothing substantial to worry about. After
all, who doesn't want to make money? Moreover, this project could open up foreign markets for the
Simpson Group, a guaranteed profit. So, as long as Ayan didn't respond in any way, Camille wouldn't
overly concern herself with Daisy's intentions.
She still believed in Ayan for that much.
With Ayan back, dinner was naturally lively.
Although it was just one extra person, the atmosphere of dinner with Camille alone was much better
than eating by herself.
Ayan served her food and soup, taking care of her throughout. The feeling of being pampered made
Camille sigh, "When you're not home, I don't even feel like eating."
Sitting alone at the table made her feel incredibly lonely and killed her appetite.
Ayan looked at her and gently said, "Accompany me on my next business trip, okay?"
Camille agreed without hesitation, "Okay."
They exchanged smiles and continued eating.
Ayan had kept all his time for Camille that day, so naturally, no one would call to disturb their time
together.
After a brief parting, their reunion naturally entailed some intimacy. It felt like they had been apart for a
long time, and Camille felt that reuniting required physical strength. It was truly exhausting.
Without dreams that night, everything returned to the days before Ayan's trip.
Ayan got up early, and Camille was still asleep. He kissed her forehead gently and softly said, "Sleep a
bit more. I'll head to the office first; let's have dinner together tonight."
He planned to meet with Rex and others in the evening and then visit the old Simpson in the hospital.
Camille sleepily murmured in agreement before rolling over and continuing to sleep.
Ayan didn't even have breakfast at home. After freshening up and changing, he went downstairs and
set off for the office.
Kian was driving, and he had already updated Ayan on work and Preston's situation.
Due to identity reasons, Preston was unable to provide his documents, and the welfare home director's
confirmation was for his stay.
After acknowledging the update, Ayan asked, "Keep an eye out for any news online about Elijah and
his son; see if there are any movements."
Kian was surprised and asked, "Are you concerned that Elijah might contact Preston and assist him? If
that's the case, it means Elijah is using our resources to help Preston. If Preston finds out, wouldn't he
be thrilled?"novelbin
Ayan narrowed his eyes and spoke in a cold tone, "Although Elijah is Preston's uncle, Sean is his son.
Shouldn't his son hold a higher position in his heart than a nephew? If that's the case, Elijah will have to
bear the consequences of his wrong choices." New ch?pter avаilable o? Dr?мanоvеls.cоm
There was another issue - Elijah was Preston's uncle, but Elijah did not have a sister or brother. Elijah's
background was also a mystery, making him quite unpredictable.
Ayan instructed Kian, "Is there any activity from Elijah lately?"
As essentially an undocumented resident, finding work would be impossible, and he might even end up
back in prison.
