My Ex-husband Begs Me Back

Chapter 1592: Regret

Ayan felt very wronged, but the old Simpson didn't give him any chance and kept educating him on how to be a good husband.

Ayan didn't want to joke anymore and said softly, "Grandpa, I was joking with you. I don't plan on having another child. When Cami gave birth to Timmy, she suffered a lot, so one child is enough."

"Well, as long as you two have made up your minds. Neither your parents nor I will pressure you," the old Simpson replied. After all, they are the parents, so it's their decision to make. As elders, they would just listen and not impose any pressure.

Ayan nodded in agreement and then stayed to have lunch with the old Simpson. The old Simpson's appetite had decreased; he only ate half a bowl of rice and a little bit of vegetables before putting down his chopsticks. "I'm full. My stomach fills up quickly these days."

There was a vague feeling of bloating, but the old Simpson didn't mention it, thinking it was just due to lack of exercise and slow digestion.

Seeing this, Ayan felt even more worried but didn't say anything because he didn't want the old Simpson to have any unnecessary thoughts.

After lunch, they watched TV for a while until the old Simpson became very sleepy and kept urging Ayan, "Don't you have work at the company today?"

Why haven't you left yet?

How late is it already?

Ayan understood the old Simpson's thoughts but wanted him to sleep less during the day to avoid insomnia at night.

Ayan had a meeting in the afternoon, so after checking the time, he decided not to stay any longer.

After leaving the old Simpson's hospital room, he took the elevator downstairs.

Kian had just returned from lunch and picked him up from the garage, and they headed back to the company together.

Ayan had spent several hours at the hospital, which was unusual, so Kian couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Simpson, why did you stay so long today?"

Ayan replied, "The old Simpson's condition isn't very good."

Kian's expression turned serious as he asked, "What did Dr. Ellis say?"

"Just let things take their course," Ayan said, feeling increasingly heavy-hearted.

Seeing his expression, Kian didn't dare to say more.

Ayan had deep feelings for the old Simpson, which most people couldn't understand.

But Ayan couldn't focus all his attention on the old Simpson; he still had to manage the Simpson Group's work and projects, often finding it impossible to balance both.

The unexpected incident with the SynergyCon project hadn't been fully resolved yet, but the project couldn't be halted due to an accident; everything had to continue moving forward.

The official blog of the SynergyCon project posted a recruitment notice. This time, they were not only recruiting architects from Hance City but from all cities.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

The news was posted online around six o'clock when most people were commuting home from work.

The announcement received many shares, including from netizens who had been following the incident's resolution. However, most attention came from architects and construction firms interested in participating in the recruitment.

Camille also saw the notice.

She messaged Sienna: "When are you coming back? The recruitment time has been announced; we need to prepare."

Sienna replied, "I'll be back in a couple of days. Let's talk when I return."

"Come back as soon as possible. We need to seize this opportunity; we must get it," Camille said. They wanted to complete a project together, and the SynergyCon project was big enough. Plus, Sienna had recently won a design competition award, making this a great opportunity for them.

In the evening, Camille and Ayan were having dinner at a restaurant.

They rarely discussed work, but since the SynergyCon project was trending and Ayan hadn't mentioned it to her yet, Camille couldn't help but ask, "Ayan, is the recruitment time for the SynergyCon project according to the official blog?"

Ayan quickly apologized, "Sorry, I've been busy today and forgot to tell you. For now, it's set according to the posted time unless something unexpected happens."

"How are the injured being handled?"

"They're still in the hospital. We need to ensure everyone recovers fully before discharge. After multiple

evaluation's by various hospitals net

they'll be released with ample. compensation. Whether they return to the project will be their choice."

These workers relied on manual labor for their livelihood, so compensation from the SynergyCon project wouldn't be lacking.

Camille nodded in agreement with Ayan's approach.

She then told Ayan, "I want to participate in this recruitment."

She had mentioned it before but felt it necessary to reiterate now that preparations were starting.

Ayan looked at Camille and said, "Alright, I support you."

"But I have one condition."

"Go ahead."

Camille said seriously, "I want to follow the normal rules. Although I really want this project, I want to earn it through my abilities. If I don't make it, can you comfort me?"

Although Ayan had told her she could join the project directly, Camille felt it wouldn't be fair to others and might cause dissatisfaction among some people. This could negatively impact both Simpson Group and Ayan. So she didn't want that.

After Camille finished speaking,

Ayan couldn't help but smile and said softly, Alright, we'll do it your way. But let's agree on one thing if something unexpected happens, you'll follow my arrangements and join Simpson Group with your team as partners for this project."

"Are you telling me this now?" This would give her confidence.

But Ayan explained, "I don't mean anything else by telling you this. I'm not asking you not to try hard or giving you a fallback option. I'm just saying that you can go all out without any burdens since you want to rely on yourself."

Camille replied, "I understand what you mean."

When it came to work, especially something she wanted, she was very determined.

The reason she wanted to secure the SynergyCon project wasn't just because it was a great opportunity that would bring fame and fortune to her company. There was another important reason.

Previously, a Simpson Group project

had been ruined due to Preston's interference, which left Camille feeling regretful. She wanted to make up for it with the SynergyCon project by collaborating with Ayan again. She believed they would work well together.

However, she didn't plan on telling Ayan about her thoughts.

It was just her personal wish.

After their conversation ended and they finished eating,

Ayan told Camille to visit the old Simpson when she had time because his condition wasn't great. He didn't elaborate further to avoid worrying her.

That night was supposed to be peaceful,

until a phone call came just before bedtime.

It was Kian calling.

Kian asked, "Mr. Simpson, are you available now?"
