Female Novel
Chapter 237 Unworthiness
"Don't bother. Take Sophia back to the hotel. I'll go alone to the hospital and see grandma."
Camille refused him directly. She looked at Ayan, staring at him but with wandering eyes.
Ayan frowned. "Camille, it's getting late. I can’t let you go alone."
"There's a driver with me. What’s the matter? Didn’t I come here also by myself? "
She raised her eyebrows and smiled, but there was no happiness in her eyes.
Sophia sensed something too and asked, "Camille, are you mad at Ayan because of me? I came to
see grandpa today because my dad asked me to. I didn't mean to disturb you. I'm sorry if I offended
you. It’s not good for the baby to get mad."
"Thank you, Sophia, for your concern. The baby is in my tummy. I certainly know what is good and
what is bad. Sophia, you have never been pregnant or a mother before. I'm probably more experienced
in this, so you don't have to worry about me, Sophia."
Camille's face was pale and her words were too soft to show any emotion. It was hard to tell whether
she was happy or unhappy.
But Ayan knew that this was not the case when she was in a good mood.
Ayan walked over to her, took her hand, and said, "come with me to the hospital. I'm going to see Dr.
Ellis. He called me today and wanted to talk to us about Grandma's surgery. So, we will go together,
okay?"
It was because of her grandmother that Camille backed off.
Ayan was driving, Camille was in the passenger seat and Sophia was in the back seat.
Sophia asked, "Camille, is it too hard for you to take the competition while pregnant? You also have to
deal with the Simpson Group project and your grandmother’s case."
"No, it's not all together and still manageable."
Camille's response was casual.
Sophia nodded and showed her understanding. "You don't have to work that hard. Ayan can make a
good living for you."
"I really appreciate Sophia's kindness, but everyone's choice is different, right?"
No matter how good Ayan was or how stable their relationship was, Camille felt that having her own
career and her own circle was essential as a girl.
After dropping off Sophia, Camille and Ayan went to the hospital in silence.
Arriving at the hospital, Camille and Ayan first went to Dr. Ellis' office. Dr. Ellis said that her
grandmother was ready for the surgery and that it was time for her to get mentally prepared for surgery.
After that, they went back to the ward to chat with her.
It was nine o 'clock in the evening when they finished talking.
They walked out of the hospital holding hands, and it wasn't until they were in the car that Ayan asked,
"Are you mad at me?"
Camille said, "did you do something to make me mad?"
"Aren't you upset because of Sophia?"
"Why is it because of Sophia? Ayan, why would you think that?"
"Because you promised Sophia to come with you to the Simpson's Mansion? Or is it because you're
too close to Sophia these days because of work?"
Ayan wasn't sure, but he's been thinking about it all the way back, and those were the only two things
that had happened recently.
Camille smiled, "Ayan, what would you do if I were you today and Sophia were some men?"
Ayan got silent.
Camille looked out through the window and then said, "isn't that what couples will think?"
She didn't just tell him not to spend time with Sophia. Instead, she shifted their position so that he could
empathize with her and make the change without her having to ask him to.
He had always known how smart she was. Sometimes she just needed to say a word, but she didn't
want to say it. Instead, she had to make him notice on his own and take the initiative to change.
He smiled helplessly, and there was nothing he could do about her.
But he did not know, Camille acted like this because she didn't want to feel inferior, and lose a girl's
self-esteem and pride.
Sophia had been in Hance City for nearly half a month. It was no secret that she worked with Ayan,
and Eileen knew about it by accident.
Of course, she knew Sophia. She gave her a lot of bad times in the beginning. Now she came back to
get close to Ayan which made her angry when she thought of her.
Eileen went straight to the hospital and confronted Camille. "Why are you so useless?" she asked, "you
don't care if Ayan and Sophia get so close? Do you know that Sophia likes Ayan?"
Camille laughed.
She didn't know where Eileen got the gut to question her about this.
She shouted back, "who are you to ask me? You really like to mind others’ business, Eileen. What's it
got to do with you?"
"You...You don't deserve to be Ayan's wife, and you don't deserve Mrs. Simpson's title. You will see!"
Camille didn't take her words seriously, and now she was very busy, living every day to the fullest.
Eileen, however, was rather bored and went straight to Sophia after she talked with Camille.
She had a big argument with Sophia, and she was stunned by Sophia. She was no match for Sophia in
arguing. Finally, she had to leave.
Then Sophia called Camille and asked Camille out. "Are you free? Can we meet for afternoon tea?"
Camille agreed, and the two met at a high-end music restaurant near Camille's workplace.
They arrived almost at the same time. After sitting down and orderings drinks and fruits, Sophia said, "I
didn't interrupt your work by asking you suddenly, did I?"
Camille shook her head. "No, what’s it about?"
"Nothing, but Eileen came to me and said something I didn't like. "
"Do you think I told her to come to you? " Camille asked in confusion, or she wouldn't have asked her
specifically to meet.
Sophia denied. "I just want to be honest with you. I had a crush on Ayan for years, but I have never
expressed my feelings. Ayan and Eileen used to be together, and now you're married to him, so I think
we can only be friends."
Camille, her face going pale, asked her in a low voice, "I was surprised that you would confess to his
wife that you’ve liked Ayan for so many years."
"Because it's the truth." Sophia wasn’t shy to admit it. She looked Camille straight in the eye and said,novelbin
"but don't worry, I don't plan to interfere with other people's marriages and relationships, and I'm sorry if
I caused you trouble recently. I’ll be more careful in the future."
Camille looked at Sophia. She didn't know this woman, but she knew very well that Sophia was not like
Eileen.
Camille confided, "I'm surprised you said this to me, but you're right. You do need to keep your
distance. If you get too close, you will be labeled as someone who is too intimate with a married man. It
doesn’t matter what you did, this label will always be with you."
"I know what you mean, thank you for reminding me that and I think we can become friends one day
too. "
Camille smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to that."
The two of them cheered with juice and reached a tentative agreement.
After coming out from the music bar, Camille got into the car. Ayan called the next moment. "Camille,
where are you?"
