My Ex-husband Begs Me Back -
Chapter 250: Hidden Dangers
“I don’t know.” Grandma shook her head without thinking twice.
Ayan volunteered to explain, “That's alright. I just heard the namementioned by Camille when she answered the phone. I was worriedthat she would get into some trouble but wouldn't tell me, so I want toask you. You know, if I force her, she would have a tantrum with meagain. Please don't let her now, otherwise she would be angry.”
He spoke in earnest and humble terms and grandma didn’t doubt himatall.”
Instead, she said, “Camille didn’t have many friends in Flento City andyou have known the people who are acquainted with her. The Hunteryou mentioned exactly is not among them. If you are worried, I'll askher when she comes over later.”
“Well, I'll have someone look into him. Please act like you don’t know.”“That's alright.”
Grandma agreed.
He got no mews from grandma and looked exceedingly cold and grave.He wondered if she was hiding it too well or there were any otherreasons.
Rex called right after he left the hospital and asked him to have lunchtogether. They haven't seen each other for a long time, so Ayan saidyes.
He sent a message to Camille intentionally, “I will have lunch with Rexand other friends, would you like to come with me?”
Camille replied, “Well, you guys eat. I'll have lunch with Sienna. In theafternoon, I have some work to deal with and later I have to go thehospital to visit grandma.”
“Well, how about having dinner together?”
“That's alright.”
The conversation was simple, like a normal couple.
Ayan felt comfortable with this kind of parent-child reporting.
Camille made sure that Ayan had nothing to say before turning off herphone and put it down on the desk. She had just talked to Mr. Mossabout the decoration. Nowadays, the decoration was set up officially.There were a lot of materials in the warehouse every day. Mr. Mosswas worried that something may be wrong, and confirmed with herevery batch of acceptance.
It was a big deal, so Camille couldn't be perfunctory. She had to checkit carefully.
In the afternoon, the office door was knocked on and Preston came in.Camille looked up and asked, “Well, didn’t you go to Armstrong Corp?”“I got back just now.”
“How're things going on?”
Preston walked to the desk and sat down. He replied softly, “Well, that'sOK. Maybe the construction will start in the next few days. I went to thesite with Grace today. The surrounding environment is very nice whilethe only drawback is that the space is too larger. The party A requiresthat in addition to greening, some fitness equipment, children'splaygrounds and other facilities are needed.”
“Are these things on budget? I recommend that we should be carefulnot to have any safety concerns especially when it comes to safety.”Camille advised earnestly.
Preston nodded. “That's what I'm thinking. If anything goes wrong inthe future, not only will it hurt others but it will have a bad influence onour company and Armstrong Corp.”
“Yeah.” Camille nodded approvingly.
Preston noticed the name of the document she was checking andasked casually, “Is it the document for Simpson Group?”
“Yeah. There are many batches of materials coming into the warehousethese days. Each batch needs checking carefully.”
Preston nodded, “Cami, you're still so responsible. Is there anything Ican do for you?”
“Nope. I'm getting ready to finish. It will be more painstaking when theprogram of Armstrong Corp you're in charge of set up formally. So,seize the time to have a break.”
Camille smiled faintly and Preston gave a smile to show that he wasnot tired.
After that, they had nothing more to say and the atmosphere wentquiet.
Camille felt a bit awkward as the two of them who kept silent met eachother's eyes occasionally. She didn’t know when there were fewer andfewer things she wanted to share with Preston.
They talked about the work most of the time. They didn’t go out to havedinner or talk about each other's personal affairs anymore.
It was like a simple partnership.
Preston had no idea what Camille was thinking certainly. He wanted tosay something but stopped at a second thought. Finally, he said whilelooking at Camille, “Cami, I have something to talk with you.”
Camille was a bit surprised, “What's it?"
“You might be unhappy about it, but I don't want to hide it from you. Ithink it might be better to tell you after thinking about it.”
He looked serious, which made Camille frown subconsciously.
Camille said, "Go ahead.”
“The nanny who is taking care of your grandmother is the one you gotback from Flento City, right?”
Camille nodded, “Why do you ask it out of the blue?”
“The lady's husband is called Hunter and he has been followed byAyan’'s men.”
“Be followed by Ayan’s men? How do you know?” Camille wassurprised.
However, Preston replied calmly, “Hunter and a driver of Walker familyare old friends. My father mentioned that when Molly came back toWalker family. Then I know that Hunter's wife is the nanny taking careof grandma, so I asked Walker family to pay more attention.”
Camille gave a deadpan response and asked, “What's Ayan doing onchecking him?”
Preston gave her a hesitant look. “Cami, it may not be very good for meto tell you. You'd better ask Ayan personally.”
“That's alright. Just tell me.”
Camille wanted to know what Ayan looked up Hunter for?
Preston stayed silent for a while and said, “I heard about that Ayansuspected that Hunter was the one instigated by grandma whodestroyed his relationship with Eileen and left her in a vegetative state.I was worried that Ayan would get into trouble with grandma, so I took itupon myself to have someone keep an eye at the hospital. Ayan wentto hospital today. Did he mention it to you?”
Preston tried to avoid the trivial and dwell on the important.
With an indescribable feeling occurring at the bottom of her heart, shelooked at Preston calmly.
She said, “Did Ayan suspect that Hunter was the one instigated bygrandma to break up his relationship with Eileen? She didn't even knowhim before I marred him a year go and my grandma wouldn't sabotageothers.”
She didn’t believe that.
But Preston continued, “I wonder about this, too. But Cami, if Ayanreally doubted grandma, what do you think he would do considering hisconcern for Eileen? She's going to into surgery now, so I'm worriedabout something unexpected at this point, so...
He stopped at where it should and didn’t go further.
But his words upset Camille.
She didn’t believe her grandma would have done that, nor did she thinkgrandma had anything to do with it. But what is Ayan looking up Hunterfor?
When it came to her grandma, especially now that the surgery wascoming up, Camille could barely keep calm.
She glanced at Preston and said, “Preston, thank you for telling it tome.”
“Nothing. Talk to him and don’t misunderstand him. You are pregnantnow and I shouldn't have told you, but I'm worried about you. I don'twant to keep it from you.”
He looked at Camille tenderly.
Camillid nodded slightly. She didn’t want to continue the topic.
At the moment, Preston's phone rang and he said, “It's Grace. Probablyfor the project. Don't read into it, talk with Ayan.”
“I gett.”
Camillid gazed after Preston out of her office. Then she picked up herphone and glanced at it. She hesitated with her lips pursed. Finally, shedecided to ask Ayan.
“Did you go to the hospital to visit grandma today?"
She texted to him.
