My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 1265: Persistence

Chapter 1265: Persistence

Camille carefully considered Ayan's words and realized that they were indeed true. The reason Mario completely distanced himself from Sienna was because he prioritized his own interests. He gave up on Sienna, thinking that he could manipulate her based on her attitude towards him. He believed that if he stopped, Sienna would catch up to him. But he overlooked the fact that Sienna's heart had hardened after being repeatedly ignored.

Camille pressed her lips together and nodded slightly, saying, "You're right. That's why Mario and Sienna aren't suitable for each other. After all, in this world, it's not enough to just know each other; if there's no fate, it's all in vain.”

Camille's heartfelt words made Ayan laugh uncontrollably. He put down his glass and gently touched Camille's hair. Since she was wearing makeup today, he couldn't touch her face casually. He had learned this lesson in the car earlier, so now he just patted her head and chuckled, "Why are you suddenly so sentimental?"

"Because it's the truth. I've been watching how Sienna and Mario dealt with their relationship. She kept giving, but the response she received was always cold. And when she was about to give up, he would suddenly shower her with kindness. But as she started to fall for him, he would neglect her again. This cycle has repeated so many times that I've lost count,” Camille said, her emotions becoming increasingly agitated. Just thinking about it made her feel upset.

She took a silent deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She looked at Ayan and asked, "Am I getting too emotional?"

“It's understandable. After all, you care about them a lot," Ayan replied. "Thank you for understanding.”

They exchanged a smile and became polite again.

At that moment, the door to the lounge was opened by a server, and Sienna and Rex entered. Sienna was wearing a black dress today, slim-fitting and revealing her prominent collarbones. She had a seductive charm about her, and the outfit looked really good on her. She seemed tired, probably from socializing with Rex downstairs. Seeing Camille and realizing there were no outsiders present, she couldn't help but complain, "I'm so exhausted. My face feels like it's going to freeze from smiling."

Sienna handed her a juice and said, "You've worked hard. I'll have Mr. Ward pay you for your services later.”

Sienna looked back at Rex and said, "Yes, pay me for my services. I'm really tired just now."

Rex, with an indulgent expression, replied, "Alright, I'll pay you. I'll do it when we get back.”

Sienna was satisfied, and then she continued chatting with Camille. Ayan got up and went to the other side to talk to Rex.

The four of them sat in the spacious lounge, drinking wine and juice, and chatting. The atmosphere was beautiful.

Sienna and Camille sat on the sofa, talking. Camille asked in a low voice, "Did you see Mario?"

"I did. We exchanged a simple greeting,” Sienna replied indifferently. Camille raised an eyebrow and continued, "Just a greeting? What about the two of you?"

"Well, we had a conversation, but our hearts and minds are not aligned. After all, there are so many people around. No matter what, many people know that I'm Mario's sister. That relationship can't be changed,” Sienna replied, subconsciously recalling the scene of her encounter with Mario just now.

Mario's gaze had been fixed on Sienna since she entered the room. That look was impossible for her to ignore, even if she wanted to pretend she hadn't seen it. So Sienna felt particularly unsure of herself. But she wanted to appear calm, to act as if she hadn't noticed anything. After all, there was nothing between her and Mario to begin with, so why should she be nervous? Maybe she had convinced herself of this, so she approached Mario with confidence, initiating a conversation as if nothing had happened. Her initiative made Mario's expression darken, but with so many people around, he couldn't afford not to respond. However, his tone was slightly stiff and low.

Rex noticed Mario's unwillingness and, of course, found it amusing. He greeted Mario with just one sentence, nothing more.

After that, Rex introduced Camille to some friends of the Ward family, and they have been together ever since.

So there hasn't been much interaction between Sienna and Mario, but she can face him calmly now, without any emotional turmoil.

Sienna whispered to Camille, "We'll probably be sitting together for dinner later, so this is just the beginning. There's a tough battle ahead!" Seeing Sienna treating this gathering as a battlefield, a smile appeared on Camille's face. She said, "Don't think of it that way. No matter what happens, we're here, and Ayan is here too. Mario won't do anything." “Let him be. I've completely let go now. He can do whatever he wants. I just need to remain firm in my stance.”

"Yes. It's good that you think like that.” Camille gently patted her hand. Sienna also smiled lightly and continued, "I don't want to talk about him anymore. Let's talk about the Nores family. I saw Alicia just now. What made her come? Doesn't the Nores family know that you don't want to see her? Didn't they promise?"

Hearing Sienna's words, Camille realized that Alicia had also arrived. Since Camille had briefly met with some business partners for the project and then came upstairs, she wasn't aware of Alicia's presence. After all, they didn't want to stay at the gathering for too long, nor did they want to engage in small talk with unrelated people.

Camille pursed her lips and replied without much expression, "If she's here, let her be. I haven't seen her."

"Surely we'll see her later,” Sienna said reluctantly. "She dares to attend the gathering, but if she dares to do anything, I'll make sure she knows the power of the top female bully in Flento City."

The top female bully in Flento City was saying this in anger. If Camille didn't know what aspect of bullying she excelled in, she might have actually believed it.

Camille couldn't help but smile and said, "I know the power of the top female bully, so I think just seeing you would scare her off. She definitely won't dare to do anything in front of you.”

Sienna snorted, "Are you making fun of me?"

"How could I? How could I dare?" Camille looked at Sienna with a serious expression, blinking her eyes to show loyalty.

Sienna couldn't find any leverage, so she had to let it go.

The four of them sat in the lounge for a while until Kian knocked on the door and entered. Kian said, "Mr. Simpson, Mr. Nores would like to know when we can officially start the meal.”

Ayan raised his hand and glanced at his watch, then calmly said, "We're almost ready. How are the seating arrangements for the meal?"
