My Ex-husband Begs Me Back

Chapter 1557: Deep Affection

Sophia, who never got Ayan, has now become friends with Camille and can't help but encourage Camille to ignore Ayan. Her thoughts are focused on who made Ayan so aloof, like the unreachable moon. Of course, she won't miss any opportunity to make him stumble!

Camille: "It's not for him, it's for a friend whose birthday is today. I ate their cake but didn't bring a gift, so I thought of buying something suitable as a gift between friends."

"A male friend?"

"Yes."

Sophia smirked mischievously and instantly became happy. She said, "I know a good place, I'll take you there."

After speaking, she took Camille to a custom shop.

Although Sophia introduced a custom shop, the prices were reasonable, not excessively expensive for friends, but also not cheap enough to seem insincere.

In the end, Camille chose a pair of cuffs for a tailored suit shirt. Since it was a custom order, she couldn't take the gift with her on the spot. The earliest she could receive it was tomorrow afternoon, which happened to be when they would have dinner.

The price wasn't high, perhaps relatively cheap for Jordan, but it was a suitable gift for friends.

With the gift settled, Camille and Sophia went to the restaurant together. Sophia asked, "If he's just a friend, why did he make you personally choose a gift?"

"He's not someone I'm particularly close to, but you should know him too." After all, Jordan's identity wasn't unfamiliar.

Sophia was somewhat surprised. "I know him too."

"Yes, you should know him."

Curiosity piqued, Sophia exclaimed, "I know him?"

"Yes, you should know him."

"Can you tell me who he is?" Sophia asked.

Camille mentioned Jordan's name, and Sophia was also taken aback. "I know him."

"You see, I told you that you would know him."

"But our relationship is not just a simple acquaintance," Sophia added.

Now it was Camille's turn to be stunned. Her first thought was, could they have been former boyfriend and girlfriend?

Camille hesitated for a moment and looked at Sophia, asking, "Were you two in a previous relationship?"

Sophia laughed. "Of course not! He is an elite, how could he be with me, a mere commoner!"

Sophia continued, "We were classmates, college classmates to be precise. But after graduating, we almost lost contact. We have each other on Facebook and have each other's phone numbers, but we've never contacted each other."

Sophia had a very good impression of Jordan. He had excellent grades and a great reputation in school, and he had won many honors.

But the Bailey family's scandal was widely known at that time. It wasn't just the classmates in their class who knew about it; almost the entire school had heard of it.

Everyone knew that Jordan, the eldest son, had been deprived of his inheritance and had given up everything related to the Bailey family for the sake of his mother.

Because Jordan's younger brother, David, was cold-blooded and ruthless, he had spread negative rumors about Jordan and made him the subject of gossip wherever he went.

But even so, Jordan was unaffected and continued to do what he needed to do.

Such a Jordan was truly unforgettable and deserving of admiration.

Sophia briefly mentioned this to Camille, who could also feel the helplessness and despair in Jordan's eyes in that moment, as she had experienced such helplessness and confusion herself.

"I never expected that you and he would be friends," Sophia said.

"We've only met a few times, but I have a good online friendship with his mother."

"Online relationship?" Sophia laughed. "Not bad."

The two didn't discuss much about Jordan's matter and coincidentally ran into Dan at the restaurant's entrance.

Camille hadn't seen Dan for a long time, but she knew he was doing well with his company. Camille was genuinely happy to see him surrounded by good people.

Naturally, the two began discussing the Longevity Village project. Dan asked, "Have you been back to see it?"

"No, but I would like to find an opportunity to go back and take a look." However, she never had the time. She had planned to take a vacation with Ayan and go there for a few days, but they had been busy. Many things had happened recently, so there was simply no time to go out.

Dan said, "If you're going next time, call me. We can go together."

"Sure, how about Sophia joining us too?" Camille looked at Sophia. Sophia pursed her lips intentionally and said, "We'll see. Besides, you are involved in the project, so it would be more appropriate for you to go together. I have nothing to do with this project, and it doesn't feel right for me to go."

Dan smiled and lowered his gaze, understanding the meaning behind her words.

Camille understood the relationship between the two from their expressions and interactions.

Camille didn't say much, calmly picked up her teacup, and didn't inquire further about their conversation.

In the next moment, Dan's voice sounded, and he whispered, "If you're not involved in the project, as a family member, you should still be able to go legitimately."

After Dan finished speaking, he shifted the topic directly to Camille and asked, "Why didn't Mr. Simpson come with you on this business trip? It seems like you rarely travel alone, right?"

Camille smiled and said, "We had a fight!"

She spoke the truth, but neither Dan nor Sophia believed her.

"Mr. Simpson would fight with you?" Dan laughed. "Don't tease us. He would do anything to keep you happy. He wouldn't fight with you."

Camille shook her head. "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

Camille was telling the truth, and there was nothing she could do if they didn't believe her.

However, Dan and Sophia took it as a joke and didn't think much of it.

The three had dinner, and since it was still early, they found a place to sit down and chat together.

It wasn't until ten o'clock at night that they decided to leave.

But when Dan came back from paying the bill, his expression was hurried. Sophia was the first to notice and asked, "What's wrong? Are you ready to run away with us?"

His anxious expression was as if he had discovered something scandalous, his emotions written all over his face.

Dan didn't answer, he just said, "Let's go outside first."

With Dan's serious and solemn demeanor, Sophia stopped making jokes. She held Camille's hand and walked ahead, while Dan walked behind, quickly returning to the car.

Dan drove himself, and Camille and Sophia sat in the back seat. Sophia's car was driven back by a driver.

Camille looked at Dan and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Dan opened his phone and handed it to Camille. It was a video, and in the video, Camille was holding a cake in her hand. She approached Jordan and raised the cake in front of him. Their eyes met, and due to the angle, Jordan's expression seemed full of deep affection, as if he had seen his beloved.

Camille and Sophia were both stunned.
