Chapter 1042: Princess''S Husband


    Chapter 1042: Princess''s Husband


    The old Simpson''s tone was exceptionally serious, and his face twisted into a stern expression, clearly


    revealing his anger and disapproval towards Ayan.


    Perhaps it had been a while since the old Simpson had been this angry, and for a moment, Ayan and


    Camille were both taken aback.


    Camille, in particr, was seeing the old Simpson angry for the first time. While he would usually be


    serious with Ayan, it was rarely to this extent.


    The old Simpson fixed his gaze on Ayan and said, "Rumors are a double-edged sword, killing subtly.


    Do you think your position is secure enough? Do you believe the Simpson Group is stable enough? But


    have you ever considered that we live in the inte era? Haven''t you seen the cases of online


    harassment? It''s like a ho''s nest, swarming with countless bees. Even if you are powerful and


    capable, you won''t be able to handle the onught of these bees."


    Ayan''s expression remainedposed, but not out of displeasure towards the old Simpson. Instead, it


    was because of the implications behind the old Simpson''s words.


    His thin lips tightened, and his expression grew somewhat distant as he replied, "You''re right. I made a


    mistake. I shouldn''t have tried to be so tough and confrontational."


    The old Simpson''splexion slightly eased, but he still didn''t look particrly pleased. His voice


    remained deep as he continued, "Let''s put an end to this matter. Don''t push any further. You need to


    understand, when you push someone into a corner, they can do anything. Now, you''re not alone. You


    have a child, Cami, and the entire Simpson family. You need to think twice before you act. It''s not about


    fearing or being afraid of the other side; it''s about creating a protective barrier for the ones you need to


    shield."


    The old Simpson clearly had doubts about Ayan, even though he recognized his grandson''s


    capabilities and trusted him more than the other rich kids in their circle. Those rich kids only knew how


    to spend money, or to put it less nicely, they were just squanderers.


    However, Ayan had been working for the Simpson Group since college, and once he graduated, the


    entire group was gradually handed over to him. At that time, even Fletcher had been somewhat


    concerned about the old Simpson''s decision, thinking that Ayan was too young andcked the


    necessary experience. But the old Simpsonpletely trusted Ayan, giving him full control.


    Now, Ayan had be what he was today, and this process hadn''t been as easy and smooth as it


    seemed to outsiders. Ayan had encountered many challenges along the way, but he had faced them


    alone. While his peers were enjoying their youth and having fun, he was sitting in the office dealing with


    paperwork.


    This different treatment had shaped the Ayan of today but had also taken away a lot of his freedom.


    The old Simpson thought of all this, and the chill in his expression softened a bit. Ayan, however, was


    unaware of the old Simpson''s thoughts. He simply nodded after the old Simpson''s words and said, "I


    understand."


    The old Simpson then asked, "Do you think my advice makes sense?"


    Ayan responded, "Of course, it makes sense. I just wanted to resolve this matter quickly and ensure


    that those who harmed Camille and the interests of the Simpson family face the consequences they


    deserve. But I neglected the issue you pointed out."


    Even though he didn''t believe he had done anything wrong, this matter concerned Camille and the


    entire Simpson family, so he couldn''t befortable about it.


    Seeing his positive attitude, the old Simpson didn''t say much more. He only said, "Alright, I''m tired too.


    Take Cami home."


    After bidding farewell to the old Simpson, both of them left the room.


    Camille took the initiative to hold Ayan''s hand, lightly pursing her lips as she asked in a soft voice, "Are


    you okay?"


    He gazed at her and responded, "Not really, what should we do? You''ve seen it too; Grandfather treats


    me like he picked me up from somewhere. Do you think you''re the real daughter, and I''m just the one


    raised and groomed to be your husband?"


    He was serious as he spoke, and his voice was particrly maic, making Camille''s cheeks flush


    instantly. She furrowed her brows slightly, her voice low and husky as she replied, "What are you


    talking about!"


    Ayan chuckled, his voice growing even deeper. He said, "Is the princess feeling shy?"


    "I am not," Camille replied. Only after replying did she realize how he kept calling her a princess and


    her a husband. This man was crazy.


    Camille didn''t want to continue this topic. Anyway, every time, she couldn''t argue with him, so she


    quickly changed the subject and said, "Let''s go check on Timmy."


    Ayan raised his hand to check the time on his wrist and then asked, "At this hour, he''s probably going


    to sleep. We haven''t had dinner. Should we have something casual here at the Simpson''s mansion or


    head back to eat?"


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Because they had rushed over, neither of them had eaten, and now, although it wasn''t veryte, they


    hadn''t had dinner. However, after what they had just gone through, Camille had lost her appetite.


    She said, "Let''s go back and eat."


    Dinner was prepared before they left, and the dishes were still warm.


    Worried that Timmy might already be asleep, Camille and Ayan didn''t want to disturb him. They simply


    greeted Fletcher, who was waiting in the living room, and then left the Simpson''s mansion.


    After their round trip, they returned to Franklin Bay again, and it was almost 10 o''clock.


    Having dinner at this time meant Camille wasn''t going to eat much. She had already put down her


    chopsticks and was watching Ayan eat. asionally, she even tried to feed him some vegetables.


    After a few times, Ayan raised his eyes, met her yful gaze, and asked, "Why aren''t you eating?"


    "I''m full."


    "You''re full after just a few bites?"


    "Yeah, it''ste, and I''m too afraid to eat. I want to lose weight. Since Timmy was born, I feel like I''ve


    gained some weight." Camille couldn''t help butin. Although everyone told her she hadn''t gained


    weight, even Sienna said there was no difference from before, she felt a bit anxious about her looks.


    She believed she''d gained a few extra pounds.


    So, she was now starting to control her diet. Even during the day, she intentionally ate less.


    Ayan narrowed his eyes, his expression somewhat cold, and his voice also became displeased as he


    said, "Who said you''re fat?"


    "I said it."


    "You''re quite skinny now, and your face has no flesh." He set down his bowl and chopsticks and picked


    up his phone, then found a video and handed it to Camille. He said in a deliberately slow tone, "Look at


    her. Due to deliberate dieting, she can''t eat even if she wants to. She''s be extremely thin. So thin


    that she looks like a skeleton. Is that attractive?"


    The video Ayan showed Camille was posted by Derek in their men''s group chat a few days ago. It


    featured a girl who had gone on an extreme diet, which had led to her bing so thin that she was


    barely recognizable. Even her own mother probably couldn''t identify her.


    In fact, Ayan hadn''t watched the video and didn''t know how thin she had be. He had just nced


    at their conversation, so when Camille mentioned wanting to eat less, it reminded him of this video. He


    immediately found it and showed it to her. At the moment when Camille saw it, she was also quite


    shocked. This was a bit scary.


    But sometimes, to dispel Camille''s desire to eat less, a little shock was necessary.


    Camille didn''t finish watching the video. She immediately turned off her phone and handed it back to


    Ayan. Then, she picked up her chopsticks and continued eating.


    Ayan looked at her and couldn''t help but smile as he asked, "Not hungry anymore?"


    "You said I''m not fat, right?"


    "If you''re not fat, why eat less?"


    With Ayan''s "advice," Camille ate half a bowl of rice, some soup, and then felt much better. She hadn''t


    had much appetite earlier, but now she felt reenergized. She was no longer sluggish and had a good


    appetite.


    After dinner, Ayan took Camille for a walk. Although it waste, taking a stroll outside was still quite


    pleasant. However, simply walking around seemed a bit boring, so Camille came up with a mischievous


    idea.
