Chapter 1435: Discussion
Just a few words, simple and concise, yet containing so many emotions.
Camille's eyes immediately welled up with tears, but she maintained her composure and softly said, "I accept your apology."
Vere also followed suit, "So when do you plan for me to leave?"
Grace replied, "In the next couple of days, okay?"
"The sooner, the better. See if there are any earliest flights available, anywhere will do, I'm not picky." As long as he could leave, his departure would probably bring great relief and healing to those around him.
So he was willing to leave, willing to go immediately.
Vere's reaction and current situation made Grace feel uneasy as well. However, since he had accepted it, Grace didn't want to say anything comforting anymore. After all, her goal was for Vere to leave, and there was no need for further words.
Grace just gave Vere a faint look, the sadness and reluctance in her eyes for Vere evident, but ultimately, she said nothing more.
It was getting late, so after leaving Vere's room, Grace went downstairs to find Camille.
The two sat in the car, and Grace, her voice somewhat muffled, said to Camille, "I've said everything I needed to say. He's accepted it. Let's arrange the earliest flight for him to leave."
Camille glanced at Grace, knowing that she had feelings for Vere. After all, she had spent more time with Vere since they were little, than her own sister. However, due to Regina's presence, her feelings were naturally conflicted. After all, no one could accept a child of someone who had harmed or even killed their own mother.
Camille said calmly, "I'll have Ayan arrange it, but I need to tell you in advance, Ayan will have someone watch over him constantly, until he grows up, gets married, and has children, and there will be no other intentions."
If any other intentions arise, they will plan accordingly early. After all, a child's future is unpredictable and full of possibilities.
Upon hearing this, Grace instinctively asked, "Doesn't that mean he won't have any freedom?"
"If you've lived abroad without Horace, you would have also chosen to stay with another family, because life abroad is not as simple and easy as you imagine. In a city where you know no one, everything is unfamiliar. If someone reaches out to help you at that time, how would you react?"
A child like Vere, even if his mind is meticulous, is still a child after all. So he wouldn't refuse such help; he would be grateful for it, because in a foreign land, this kind of help is like a lifesaver.
Perhaps it's unfair to Vere, but it's necessary. Only by doing this can they cut off Vere's contact with that man and keep a close eye on him to prevent any other intentions.
Camille knew that Grace might resist this, but when things had reached this point, she had no choice.
The two talked for a long time before Grace's return to the Armstrong's villa, and Camille went back to Franklin Bay.
Before going to bed that night, Camille also discussed this matter with Ayan. She asked, "Is it too much to do this to a child?"
Ayan gently held Camille's hand and said, "There's nothing too much. Nothing is too much. It's just that because he's in this environment, this is the responsibility he must bear. If one day the Simpson family faces an irrevocable situation, our children would also bear the consequences, because of their different births and environment, they naturally have to bear the responsibilities that come with it. This is something everyone has to go through."
Ayan's words were very rational. Although Vere was a child, he had to pay this price because of his parents. No one cares if you're a child or if you have the capacity to endure. That's just how the world is.
If the people involved were those vindictive individuals who wouldn't give you any chance of survival, they would eliminate you from society without hesitation. But currently, neither Camille nor Grace had reached that point. Instead, they were sending Vere away from Hance City and away from everyone and everything, which would be beneficial for Vere.
At this stage, Vere already had some basic insights. If his heart was pure enough, he would definitely be able to clearly discern who was right and who was wrong in the whole situation. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
But if he couldn't figure it out, then the only person affected by it would be him alone.
Ayan's words struck a chord with Camille. Just the thought of Timmy being sent abroad and being alone in a foreign land was unbearable for her.
She narrowed her eyes, took a deep breath, and looked at Ayan, saying, "I don't want to see that happen. My child can't be treated like that."
"It won't. Our child will never be."
Because he and Camille wouldn't be like Regina and Brody, only selfish parents would let their children end up in irreversible situations.
Their child would never experience such things.
Camille still felt uneasy, because being a mother, many things were always related to her own child.
She would prefer a simple life, but she hoped that everything would be alright for her child.
Feeling her low spirits, Ayan quickly changed the subject, saying, "The media will announce the details and those involved in this matter tomorrow. There will probably be many journalists and media personnel waiting at your company. If it's too much, maybe you shouldn't go to the company. Wait until things settle down and the heat dies down before deciding."
Camille nodded slightly. She wasn't really concerned about this issue. There wasn't much going on recently, except for Sienna's competition.
Due to the Armstrong family's situation, Sienna could only be responsible for the competition by herself now.
However, the work for the competition had basically been finalized. After the final decision was made, Camille would review it and discuss it with the team at the company to confirm.
Camille had no plans to go to the company, but if she stayed at home, she felt quite bored. Especially in this situation, she didn't really want to be alone. She couldn't discuss things with anyone immediately.
So after thinking about it, Camille asked, "Can I go to the company with you?"
Ayan had no problem with that and even joked, "Do you want to be my secretary when you come to the office with me?"
Upon hearing his words, Camille naturally thought of the previous incident when she served as his one-day secretary. To be honest, she found it a bit funny.
But the word "secretary" between them always had a bit of ambiguity, especially with the tone in which he asked the question, a hint of hoarseness, and a deep voice filled with a trace of amusement that made it hard not to...
