Chapter 1473 - Errand
At noon, the two of them went to have lunch at the Yinze Manor.
It was safer and more secluded here because it was a members-only establishment, so there was
no chance of anyone disturbing them.
They didn''t opt for a private room, as it felt toorge and empty, so the manager arranged a cozy
window-side table for them.
Before the food arrived, Ayan asked a couple of questions about the Armstrong family adoption.
She asked Camille, "When are you nning to make it public?"
"Tomorrow, the sooner, the better, to prevent any regrets from them." Once it''s out in the open,
everyone will know the purpose behind this, the uncles might think they can deceive her and Grace,
but the onlinemunity sees through it, so it might lead to more criticism, this time aimed at the
uncles.
But this time, it would be the two uncles facing the bacsh.
Camille also had a n in mind. When the uncles realized that their two sons had given up the
Armstrong family without gaining anything, she would send Grace abroad first, and if Ayan didn''t
want to see them, it would be equally easy.
If they were to make this public, it would surely stir up a small wave of attention.
Ayan suggested, "Once it''s public, we should change his name as soon as possible and settle
everything at once."
She didn''t want him to waste any more time on this matter.
Camille nodded lightly in agreement. She knew that Ayan would be prepared for any unexpected
situations that might arise.
After lunch, Ayan had to return to the office, so Camille asked the driver to take her back to Franklin
Bay.
However, halfway there, she asked the driver to detour to the hospital without informing the old
Simpson beforehand. Her unexpected visit brought great joy to the old Simpson.
Seeing her, the old Simpson seemed much livelier and immediately waved for her to sit down,
"Child, how long has it been since youst contacted me? No matter what happens, you should
always keep me informed. I may be old, but I can still help ease your worries."
Despite having no blood rtion, the bond between Camille and the old Simpson surpassed that of
blood ties.
Camille smiled and replied, "Grandpa, I won''t be coy with you. Just because I haven''t said anything
certain, doesn''t mean everything''s fine. Don''t worry, put your heart at ease!"
The old Simpson peeled an apple for her. Although he was old, there was nothing he wouldn''t do for
Camille.
Camille didn''t hesitate and epted the apple, chatting with the old Simpson as she ate. She
recalled the recent meeting between the old Simpson and Ayan and curiously asked, "Grandpa,
was there something you discussed with Ayan that you didn''t want me to know about?"
The old Simpson remained calm and unfazed, looking at Camille steadily before exining, "I
inquired about the Armstrong family''s situation and discussed the current state of the Armstrong
family. No matter how the Armstrong family is, Armstrong Corp must lend a hand. Not only for your
parents but also for your grandfather''s sake. Your grandfather and I have been old friends for many
years. Sometimes, I think, even a centuryter, I might not have the courage to see him."
Looking at Camille, the old Simpson changed the subject, saying, "Seeing how well Ayan treats
you, I can finally rest assured. If he ever mistreats you, just tell me, and I''ll take care of him for you."
Camille, without a second thought, reassured the old Simpson, "Grandpa, don''t worry, I''ll take good
care of myself. If Ayan ever mistreats me, I''ll handle him myself. You can trust me."
Smiling, the old Simpson nodded in agreement.
Camille spent two to three hours with the old Simpson, chatting and watching TV together before
leaving. Before her departure, the old Simpson''s butler handed her a bag of organically grown
vegetables. His hobby was cultivating various vegetables, ensuring Timmy had chemical-free
produce delivered to the Simpson''s mansion twice a week.
Carrying the bag of vegetables, Camille left the hospital. She decided to wait for Ayan to finish work
and surprised him by not informing him in advance.
As they arrived at the Simpson Group building, Camille waited in the car, strategically positioned to
see Ayan leaving thepany. Without directly parking in front of the entrance, the driver waited on
the opposite side of the street, offering a clear view of the people exiting thepany.
Tomunicate her surprise n to Ayan, Camille sent a message, "Are you done with work? Let
me know when you''re leaving the office, so I can order some food for you to bring back."
To make it more convincing, she even mentioned a specific food item from a nearby restaurant in
Hance City, as Franklin Bay was out of their delivery range, and she usually had errands run for her.
Ayan quickly replied, "I''ll have Kian pick it up. You don''t need to order. I have some matters to
attend to, so I mighte homete."
Camille hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to respond. She gazed out of the window, lost in
thought. Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared before her eyes, catching her attention. Not just her,
even the driver noticed it and asked, "Madam, Mr. Simpson is leaving the office. Shall we drive
over?"
Camille hesitated, feeling a strange and unexinable sensation. It wasn''t a pleasant feeling, but
rather a suffocating one, making it hard for her to breathe.
Silent and contemtive, Camille remained still, and the driver refrained from making any sudden
movements.
Meanwhile, Ayan walked confidently towards his vehicle with Kian,pletely departing from the
Simpson Group premises.
Upon seeing this, Camille instructed the driver to follow them but reminded him, "Don''t let them
notice me. I don''t want to disturb his work."

She was merely curious about what he was up to.
Camille messaged Ayan, "Do you have a business engagement? Are you skipping dinner tonight?"
Ayan promptly responded, "Yes, there''s a coboration to discuss, so I might bete. Don''t wait for
me for dinner. Let''s take a stroll together tonight."
Realizing he could join her for an evening walk indicated that dinner time had passed.
Camille acknowledged his message with a simple "Okay" and didn''t pursue further questions.
Following Ayan''s car, they eventually arrived at a high-end restaurant, but Camille didn''t instruct the
driver to pull in. From her vantage point, she could observe Ayan getting out of the car and heading
towards the restaurant. Initially alone, he was approached by a woman as he reached the entrance.
They seemed to know each other, and he responded to her conversation.
Although nothing significant urred, Camille couldn''t shake off a feeling of difort, fueled by
possessiveness towards Ayan.
She watched the scene in silence, her eyes fixed on their interactions for several minutes before
finally regaining herposure.
