Chapter 350: Manipulation

"Grandma, see, she is always so mean to me." Ayan complained in awarm voice, with a smile appearing under his eyes as he looked atCamille with a triumphant face.

"Cami, Ayan is respecting you, don't be mean to him."

Grandma saw the two getting along well, and she was overwhelmedwith joy.

Camille can only pretend to be silent and say nothing.

She couldn't outtalk Ayan anyway.

As they walked into the booth, Sienna whispered in Camille's ear, "Mr.Simpson is a good tea server, I think you are manipulated by him."“Thank you, you caused all this."

Camille gently pinched Sienna's arm.

The meal was harmonious, talking and laughing, chatting while eating,and it took nearly two hours to finish.

After dinner, Ayan drove them back to the apartment. Camille didn't goover to stay with her grandma because grandma said she was tired andwanted to get some rest, but in fact she wanted Camille to spend moretime with Ayan.

Camille watched her grandmother go inside with Sienna before she andAyan went back to their side of the house.

In the evening, before going to bed, Ayan suddenly said to Camille, "Ihave to go on a business trip to the suburbs tomorrow morning, I maynot be back until two days later, don't worry, I will be at the hospital withyou before Grandma's surgery starts, okay?"

Camille looked at Ayan with some surprise: "All of a sudden? Howcome I didn't hear you mention it during dinner?"

"Nothing important, just going to handle a little work related to theSimpson Group project.”

"Do you have to go there personally, can't Mr. Reid go in the name ofyou?"

Camille asked one more question without letting it go.

Ayan laughed and reached out to take her hand, "You don't want me togo, do you? Don't you miss me that much?"

"Well, yes, I can't let you go, so can you please stay?"

Camille was actually lost because tomorrow was her birthday, and shewas sure from Ayan's words that he had forgotten.

Maybe he never even remembered it either.

Camille smiled helplessly, and eventually, without waiting for Ayan tospeak, she immediately retracted her words: "But work is still important,you have work to do, then go ahead and mind your business, if youcouldn't make it when grandma's operation begin, it doesn't matter, Ibelieve in Dr. Ellis's ability ."

The loss in her eyes was obvious, and Ayan saw it, but he didn't sayanything, just stay with a muffled voice: "I'll be back in time. If I promiseyou, I will do it."

Camille didn't respond again, just had an indescribable feeling in hermind, feeling some kind of stifling and uncomfortable.

She sighed silently and let herself not overthinking it, not letting it affecther emotions and her health.

But she still asked herself uncontrollably, was Ayan really going on abusiness trip? Did he really not know that tomorrow was her birthday?Although they did not spend their birthdays together, they spend theirtime and got along together in such frequency and intimacy, as long ashe wanted to know, it was easy to replace out her birthday, it all justdepended on whether he wanted to.

Camille didn't sleep well this night, and Ayan was already out of thehouse when she got up the next day.

In the afternoon, Camille drove to the Simpson's mansion with hergrandmother. The old Simpson, Fletcher and Talia were waiting for herearly already, and when she and Camille arrived, the old Simpson wasin charge of talking with her, and Fletcher was on the side as acompanion.

It was a great way to show grandma respect and showed how muchthey valued Camille.

After chatting for a while, the maid reminded them that dinner wasready.

Talia said, "Since there are more people today, so we won't eat in therestaurant, let's eat in the garden at the back!"

Camille didn't think much of it, then helped her grandmother to followTalia to the back garden.

But just as she stepped through the door of the back garden, her eyeswere transfixed, and the image before her shocked her.

The back garden was covered with flowers and balloons, and theycould tell it was carefully decorated at first glance.

Seeing this scene, Grandma was also smiling happily, she wasobviously informed, and Talia asked, "Cami, are you satisfied with allthis?"

Camille was so touched that she couldn't speak, she just kept noddingher head, and only after she got over it did she whisper, "Mom, did youprepare all this?"

"We prepared this together. Grandma and Grandpa both wanted to giveyou a different kind of birthday."

Talia also said with a smile on her face.

Camille was too moved for words and could only whisper, "Thank you."The garden was not only decorated with flowers and balloons, but alsowith exquisite cakes and snacks, and cheerful birthday songs echoedgently in the air.

The maids had already brought tea to the table, and everyone sat downone after another, but there were several more sets of tableware on thetable.

Camille asked, "Is there anyone else?"

the old Simpson said, "Make a guess?"

Just as the words dropped, Sienna came out from the other side withflowers and a gift, she walked up to Camille and handed over the gift inher hand, "Happy birthday, may you be happy and prosperous.”Camille looked shocked: "Didn't you say you weren't coming?"

"Well, how am I supposed to surprise you if I don't say that?"

Sienna winked and smiled.

Camille realized then that she had done it on purpose.

But not only Sienna, but also Grace came, and she was the only onewho came, and she gave Camille a bracelet, and looking at the brand,they could tell the price was not cheap.

She tenderly said to Camille, "Cami, happy birthday."

Camille nodded back, "Thank you."

Although they were sisters, there is not much to talk about.

Camille's eyes were still looking in the direction they were coming from,but Talia's words rang out at that moment.

"Since everyone is here, now let's eat, this first cup we toast is fortoday's birthday girl Cami."

Camille's gaze could not be withdrawn for a long time, and the feelingof loss that she could not hide in her heart was strong, and becauseshe felt quite uncomfortable in such an atmosphere.

But everyone picked up their glasses of juice, and she hurriedlygathered her emotions and raised her glass to clink with everyone:"Thank you, thank you grandpa, grandma, and mom and dad.”

"We're happy as long as you like it." the old Simpson responded, hischeeks wrapped in a smile.

Grandma also asked Camille in a low voice, "Are you happy?"

"Yeah, I'm very glad, Grandma, and you?"

“I'm happy too."

Grandma nodded her head.

After putting down the juice glasses, no one had moved their tablewareyet, so Sienna suggested, "Why don't you make a wish first, with somany delicious food, you have to make a wish sis.”

"I will do it after we have the birthday cake, okay?"

Camille said.

Talia said, "It's okay, you are the birthday girl today, one wish for youand one wish for the baby in your belly, so it's okay to make one now."Camille also thought it was okay, so she just closed her eyes directlywithout thinking much, she folded her hands and started making a wish.In the next second Camille closed her eyes, a long, slender man slowlywalked out of the house, his handsome face revealing a light smile, hisdeep eyes only fixed on Camille.

He walked to stand behind Camille and remained silent, as did theothers at the table.

Camille opened her eyes after making a wish, then spoke, "Finished,let's eat quickly, or the food will be cold."

After her words, the man behind her followed with a light cough, andshe thought she was hallucinating, so she didn't react for a while.

Her whole body froze when she realized that the man's voice was real.She subconsciously turned back to the man's face, her eyes werestunned.

She said incredulously, "Ayan? You ...."

She reacted with hindsight, so the business trip was fake, it's the sameexcuse as Sienna's not coming to the Simpson family.

Her face froze slightly for several seconds, all she could hear was theman's low voice: "Happy birthday."

He had a nice voice, and those two words come out of his mouth makeher ears tingle.

He handed the present in his hand before Camille, then said, "This is abirthday present for you, open it and see if you like it okay?"

Camille kept her body unmoved, Ayan gave a low mute smile, "What'sthe matter?"
