Chapter 1399: Restraint
Camille took a deep breath, her mood still a little gloomy.
Ayan lifted her up and hugged her directly, his voice filled with indulgence, "Okay, | promise you, as long as you're happy, I'm willing to cooperate with whatever you want to do, hmm?"
"You're so good." Camille looked at the man in front of her, gently touching his chin, her gaze soft and watery. "Thank you." Ayan smiled, holding her hand in his. These few words seemed very useful to him.
After sitting together for a while, they went back upstairs to the bedroom. They hadn't rested much these past few days, so Camille took a shower early and prepared to sleep.
Ayan also messaged Kian, saying that there was no need to contact him again tonight if there was nothing urgent. Kian didn't respond promptly, as Horace had arrived and Grace had entered Regina's villa.
Horace and Kian sat in the car, with Kian opening the surveillance device on Grace's earring with his notebook. Once set up, it began transmitting sound.
Horace looked very serious, and Kian quickly whispered, "Mr. Burris, don't worry. If you feel something is wrong, we can open the line to Miss Armstrong so she can hear your voice first."
Horace nodded, but the worry in his eyes had not dissipated.
Grace faced Regina alone. In the past, she would have been at ease and unchallenged if she didn't know everything that had happened.
But now that she knew a lot of things, she naturally had some emotions when facing Regina. However, she had been restraining herself.
She looked at Regina, still smiling as before, calling her Aunt Regina with a soft and gentle voice. Regina didn't notice anything unusual about her and treated her as usual.
Regina asked, "Grace, you haven't been in Hance City for so long. Where have you been? Your mom has been looking for you for a long time, always mentioning you sadly. She feels guilty, thinking she was too strict with you so you ran away from home. She feels really sorry for that. "
Upon hearing about Page, Grace subconsciously pursed her lips. She lowered her eyes, not wanting to look at Regina anymore. She was worried that if she continued looking at Regina, she would involuntarily show hatred. Fortunately, she was already very sad about Page's situation at the moment, so she didn't need to hide her emotions.
Grace nodded, saying, "I know that my mom loves me the most. Conversely, my dad's love for me isn't as sincere. Maybe he thinks I'm a girl, so he doesn't love me as much. Wouldn't it be nice if | were a boy like Vere? Would my dad love me more if | were a boy like him? "
Regina was stunned for a moment, but immediately smiled and comforted her, "Grace, don't think like that. Your dad loves you very much, unlike Vere, who is quite pitiful. | can't give him a complete family. Thanks to your family for taking care of us all these years."
“Aunt, you're too kind. You're my mom's best sister, and your relationship is even better than real sisters. Seeing how good you are to her makes her happy."
Regina's face flashed with a slight stiffness, perhaps because those words struck a chord in her heart, making her feel a bit guilty and uneasy.
Grace didn't continue to look at her, just glanced at her lightly, and suddenly asked, "Aunt, you haven't asked about my mom's condition yet?"
Regina was taken aback and quickly said, "Look at me. Since your mom's accident, my mood has been really bad. | can't sleep at night. Sleeping pills don't work. With Vere about to take the college entrance exam and his emotions unstable, | haven't been able to help at the Armstrong family. Now that you're back, everything falls on you. Aunt is really sorry for not being able to help you. Your mom must be very happy with you as her daughter even in heaven. "
"Does Aunt already know?"
"Yes, | know. Your aunt told me. | couldn't accept it when | first heard it. How could such a good person turn out like this? If | had known such an accident would happen, | would definitely have stopped your mom and dad from going on that trip. If they had stayed home, this wouldn't have happened, right? "
As Regina spoke, her emotions seemed to get more agitated. Grace, just by listening, felt moved. Of course, all this was under the premise of not knowing the truth.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Grace didn't stop Regina's emotional outburst. All she could hear was Regina reminiscing about Page's goodness, with her crying becoming more and more sobbing.
Grace bit her lip tightly, trying to suppress the emotions and anger that arose in her heart.
Regina probably noticed that Grace hadn't said a word the whole time. She kept repeating those few sentences, feeling somewhat fake herself, so she couldn't continue.
Looking at Grace, Regina said, "Grace, your mom only has you now. You also know that her relationship with Camille has always been a bit cold. I'm not hiding anything Frenyy\ you.

"I'm not a fairy. They would have quarreled even if | were at home. Aunt, you're the person | trust the most now. There are many things I'm suspicious and worried about, but | don't know how to say them or where to start. "
Grace looked at Regina, unwilling to continue discussing irrelevant matters with her. She didn't {to see Regi a,actindin fone of er, DEA ace Page was gone.

Regina was slightly puzzled by Grace's words, not quite understanding their meaning, so she tentatively asked, "Grace, what do you want to say? Are you worried about your mom's relationship with your dad, or their interactions?"
