My Ex-husband Begs Me Back

Chapter 224 Holding Hands

Talia looked slightly pale, but responded with the same tone, " You can't always put all of your time into

work, you are a member of the Simpson family. Even if you don't work, you don’t need to worry about

money. Of course, it’s good for girls to have their own careers and hobbies, but you still need to relax

once in a while."

Talia's words made Camille smile.

She reached for Talia's hand and whispered, "Mom, you're so sweet. Sometimes I think you adopted

Ayan and gave birth to me."

"Wasn’t that true?" Talia proudly said.

Camille smiled and the atmosphere turned much more casual. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

They got out of the car and walked through the door of the teahouse. The hostess recognized Talia and

said, "Hello, Mrs. Simpson."

Talia said gently, "I'd like a booth in the private room. My daughter-in-law and I want to have a chat.

Bring us some fruits, a cup of coffee, and water."

"Yes, Mrs. Simpson."

The hostess arranged a private room for the two of them. Each booth was separate and private.

Camille was surprised to come here just for a chat.

The idea had just occurred to Camille. Then a voice came from next door.

A woman started talking with a proud tone. "Ayan, we haven't seen each other for nearly four years. I

didn't expect that you are still so professional as before."

Ayan asked gently, "Isn't that good? You're the CEO of the Benson Group, so it's important to be clear

about the interests of both companies."

"Well, this is the experience of Mr. Simpson, who has been managing the Simpson Group for many

years. Fine, I’ll listen to you. But Ayan, I want us to be best friends outside of work. Don't forget, we

were the best partners in college."

The woman was trying to get closer to Ayan, but she didn't make him feel she was saying those words

on purpose.

They talked freely about work and memories of the past. From the conversation, Camille knew that

Sophia and Ayan were college classmates. They also started a business together in college and no

one had beaten their records yet.

After that, the Benson family moved to DaneCity, so they hadn’t gotten in touch often these years.

However, when Ayan went to DaneCity for a business trip last time, the Benson family was their

partner. So, Sophia came to Hance City this time to discuss cooperation with Ayan.

Camille was silent and her face turned slightly pale. Then, she asked Talia in a low voice, "Mom, did

you bring me here so that I could hear this?"

Talia was the only mother-in-law in the world that could do something like this, right?

After all, they were not related by blood, but she was sincere with each other, even if it was her son on

the other side, she would be on Camille's side.

Talia reached for Camille's hand with a defiant look on her face. "Camille, don't worry, I am on your

side. I know this Sophia has cooperated with Simpson Group for a long time. However, Ayan is now a

married man. You've got to keep an eye on the man."

Camille couldn't help laughing, but there was a bitter feeling in her heart.

She looked at Talia and felt grateful. She whispered, "Mom, thank you for being on my side

unconditionally, but we can directly ask Ayan about this. It is not good to eavesdrop especially like this.

What's more, Benson Group and Simpson Group are still cooperating now, and it will make Simpson

Group laugh if they found out about this. Why don't we just go?"

"How can you say so? If it’s a partnership, he should bring you. You're his wife and member of the

Simpson family."

Camille was really touched by Talia's response. She smiled at her gratefully.

However, she still believed that there was nothing going on between Ayan and Sophia. After all, Ayan

had a lover, right?

Her eyes grew dark as she thought. She bit her lower lip and whispered, "Mom, maybe we really

misunderstood Ayan. He loved Eileen. There was no room for another person."

Talia's voice fell silent. Ayan and Eileen. As a mother, she knew exactly what was going on, but she

didn't think her son would end up with Eileen. She didn't think Eileen deserved him.

Talia clasped Camille's hand and explained, "Camille. Ayan and Eileen did have a relationship, but he

broke up with her before he married you. It was only because Eileen had an accident with him and was

in a vegetative state. So he took care of her out of responsibility. But Ayan didn't love her. I know him. "

Talia's firm answer made Camille silent. She didn't want to argue with Talia, and she didn't want Talia to

argue with Ayan about it.

The atmosphere was quiet for a short time, then Sophia asked gently, "Ayan, I didn't expect that you

would marry your wife. After all, she is a stranger and you don't know each other at all. What surprises

me more is that you have been married for a year, so do you fall in love with her?"

Camille quivered her eyelashes and Talia unconsciously looked at her.

Looking into each other's eyes, Camille gave Talia a smile that broke her heart.

Then, before she could wait for Ayan to answer, Talia got up, pushed aside the curtain, and walked

over. "When I heard Ayan's name, it made me think it was someone I knew. But I didn't realize it was

Ayan."

Both Ayan and Sophia were stunned by Talia's appearance.

Ayan, however, quickly reacted. He looked at Talia with a slight frown and asked, "Mom, what are you

doing here?"

"Hello, aunty. I'm Sophia. You used to make snacks for us in college." Sophia got up right away and

greeted Talia politely.

Talia's expression stiffened, but she had good manners. "Hi, that's all in the past. No need to mention

it."

Talia looked at Ayan, and her face was a little pale. "I was just hanging out with Camille. I was in the

neighborhood, so I thought I'd take her here."

"Camille is here?"

Ayan asked.

Then he got up and walked across the curtain. He saw Camille sitting at the table. She looked at him

casually without much emotion.

After a few minutes, the four of them were seated together.

Camille and Ayan sat on one side, and Talia and Sophia sat on the opposite side.

Sophia was charming and heroic. She was wearing simple brands with long hair and attracted people's

attention. Unlike Eileen, she was soft and gentle.

Camille made eye contact with her, and she looked straight at her.

Ayan reached out and took Camille's hand under the tea table. "Where did you go with Mom?" he

asked softly.

He didn't care that Sophia was still there.

Camille's expression was gentle, but because Talia and Sophia were there, she just said, "Just hanging

out, how about you?"

She glanced at Ayan. She had texted him during dinner with the same question. What did he say back

then?
