But seeing how well Ayan treated Camille, Grace felt at ease.
Grace's emotions were not high all night, and she had many things in her mind but didn't know where to start.
In order not to worry everyone, she was also trying her best to blend in.
But sitting next to her, Horace could clearly sense her emotions. However, Horace simply thought that her mood was because she was leaving tomorrow, so she felt reluctant. From NôvelDrama.Org.
In a place where nobody could see, Horace kissed her hand and whispered, "What are you thinking?"
Grace gently shook her head and didn't speak.
Horace continued, "Shall I take you tomorrow?"
Grace insisted on not letting him, as Horace had mentioned before, but she didn't want to. She wanted to go on her own and grow up, as she had come back on her own as well.
She could talk to Horace about what he said later in the evening. Right now, she wanted to have a private chat with Camille.
Since everyone had finished eating, she used the excuse of going to the restroom to pull Camille along.
She said to Camille, "Camille, take care of yourself. Even though we'll be far apart, you can tell me if you're unhappy about anything. No matter what, no matter when, you can share with me, okay?"
Facing Grace's instructions, Camille happily nodded, "Don't worry, I will. But you, take good care of yourself too. Even though you're used to being abroad, you still need to be careful about safety."
But with Horace's family around, she was actually quite at ease about Grace.
The only worry was probably because of the Armstrong family's matter, worried that Grace would be upset about it.
Grace hugged Camille, saying, "Camille, let's both be fine."
Camille nodded and said, "Of course, we will be fine."
The two embraced each other for a while before Grace let go.
Camille took out a bank card from her pocket and handed it to Grace, saying, "This card is for you, just in case."
Grace was surprised and her eyes subconsciously looked at Camille, "Why are you giving me money? I don't need it. If I need money, Horace will give it to me."
"Whatever Horace gives you is his, this is from me. There's not much money in it, just keep it for when you need it," Camille said calmly as she forced the bank card into Grace's hand. She continued, "This money is all mine, not Ayan's, so keep it with peace of mind."
Camille was afraid that Grace would feel pressured, so she emphasized once again, but she was telling the truth. This money was indeed earned by her own company. The amount of money inside was not a large sum, but she wanted to provide for Grace.
Because she knew that Grace didn't have much money. Even though there was money left under the name of Brody Page, she knew that Grace wouldn't spend it. As for Grace's personal money,
she didn't have much because she had always lived under the protection of the Brody Page umbrella. All the money in her hands was under her parents' name.
In fact, when Camille first went abroad, she had thought about giving Grace money.
But she stopped that thought. She was afraid that Grace would become less confident and feel bad about relying on her younger sister's money.
So Camille could only ask Horace to take care of her more. Although she knew that even if she didn't say it, Horace would still take good care of her, she still said it.
Camille chose this moment to give her the card because she felt it was the right time.
And to make Grace feel more at ease about accepting it, she added, "This money will need to be paid back. After you receive your first salary in the future, you'll have to pay me back."
Camille said it in a domineering manner, which made Grace immediately laugh and say, "Okay, I will accept it then."
She could only accept it if it was a loan, so that she could feel justified and not uncomfortable.
The two smiled at each other, and the darkness in their hearts dispersed.
After chatting with Camille for a while, Grace returned to the garden. Sienna also had something to give to Grace, so she simply took Grace to her house. Camille was tired and didn't want to go, so only the two of them went. The atmosphere quieted down as the three men chatted. Camille didn't want to disturb them and knew that it was the time to video chat with Timmy, so she went upstairs with her phone to video chat with Timmy.
Since Camille was video chatting with Timmy, she didn't know that Grace and Sienna would be back soon. Of course, she didn't see Grace talking to Ayan in the backyard.
It was Grace who took the initiative to find Ayan. When Ayan was going to the restroom, she waited for him in the corridor and said, "Mr. Simpson, let's talk!"
Ayan nodded in agreement.
Then the two went straight to the backyard and kept a distance of half a meter. Ayan looked at Grace and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"
Grace pursed her lips lightly, and in a low voice, she said, "Mr. Simpson, this matter should have been discussed with you last time, but you have always been busy, and I have been busy with the Armstrong family's matters here, so I only have the opportunity to talk to you now."
Grace's tone was serious, and Ayan's gaze became serious as well.
Grace took a deep breath and continued, "Mr. Simpson, have you guessed what I want to talk about?"
Ayan narrowed his eyes slightly, and some things flashed faintly in his mind, but he wasn't sure. He didn't want to guess.
Because some things couldn't withstand guesses. Once you start speculating, the consequences are certainly not good.
Looking into Ayan's eyes, Grace's expression remained serious, her gaze full of probing.
After Grace's words, Ayan didn't respond, but remained silent.
This silence lasted for a while before the man's voice finally sounded, "What do you mean? Did Camille do something outside? Or did she do something behind my back?"
His words seemed like a joke, but his handsome face showed no hint of amusement. This expression, combined with his words, made Grace instantly feel nervous.
Grace quickly said, "Mr. Simpson, I didn't mean it that way. I just want to know how much you really know about Camille?"
