Chapter 1452: Gravity

"Silent at meals, silent at sleep," the old Simpson's voice was stiff and cold, shutting Ayan up with just a few words.

The atmosphere that followed was very quiet, and the two of them remained silent as they finished their meal.

After dinner, Ayan personally brewed tea and poured it into a cup, presenting it to the old Simpson. "Grandfather, try this!!"

It was a new tea he had brought with him, as the old Simpson liked to drink tea. However, due to his hospitalization and medication, he seldom had the chance to drink it. Naturally, he was delighted, and his expression revealed a hint of gentleness.

After drinking the tea, Ayan took the initiative to continue the conversation, speaking in a very gentle tone. "Grandfather, you asked me to come here. Is there something you want to tell me?"

The topic was getting straight to the point, and the two locked eyes once again.

The old Simpson appeared expressionless, but a hint of gravity and gloom flashed in his cloudy eyes, and his voice was hoarse. "Haven't you already guessed why I went to the police station?"

Ayan smiled and maintained his tone, with a slight hint of amusement in his voice. "Grandfather, if you don't tell me, how could I guess?"

"It's just the two of us here, there's no need for pretenses." The old Simpson shot Ayan a disapproving look.

Ayan also smiled and spoke in a low voice. "Grandfather, I don't quite understand your meaning. If you want to tell me that you went to the police station with my father, then yes, I do know that. But I don't know why you went to the police station."

"Grandfather, can you tell me why you went to the police station?"

Ayan narrowed his eyes, gazing at the old Simpson with a mild smile and a scrutinizing look that made it impossible to hide.

But the person in front of him was the old Simpson, who naturally did not display any extreme emotions. Instead, he stared back at Ayan, his voice low and deep. "Are you questioning me?"

"Of course not, grandfather. This is not an interrogation. Didn't you ask me here for dinner to tell me about this?" Ayan's gaze remained fixed on the old Simpson, with a hint of smile in his eyes. He continued, "If you didn't plan on telling me, you wouldn't have asked me to come today, would you?"

In fact, the old Simpson did not want Ayan to investigate. If the old Simpson pretended to know nothing, Ayan's personality would surely lead him to thoroughly investigate until he uncovered the truth. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

So it was impossible for the old Simpson not to be honest.

Ayan's demeanor let the old Simpson know that he was in control. This put the old Simpson in a very conflicting mood, which lasted for a while. It was probably due to some inner struggle because the matter was too grave. The old Simpson did not want more people to know, otherwise he would not have hidden it for so many years.

Taking a deep breath, the old Simpson looked at Ayan and said in a warm and gentle tone, "You must have understood something since you're sitting here."

"The Armstrong family's attitude towards Camille is something you should already know. They are cold and selfish, not caring for Camille at all. They always leave her out, and such people are not worthy of being parents."

The old Simpson seemed indignant, with a particularly angry expression on his face and a hint of coldness in his eyes. However, his demeanor was tinged with resignation.

After these words, Ayan remained silent, tacitly agreeing with the old Simpson.

The old Simpson continued, "Camille has had it tough. If it weren't for her grandmother caring for her, her days at the Armstrong family would not have been as good, and she wouldn't be as healthy and cheerful as she is now."

The old Simpson was someone who would not judge others, even though he knew about the mistreatment of Camille by the Armstrong family. But now he couldn't contain himself.

As their eyes met, both of them wore solemn expressions.

Ayan remained silent, making the atmosphere even heavier.

Noticing this, the old Simpson spoke again. "Ayan, the things I've told you today should not be mentioned to anyone once you leave this place."

The old Simpson's statement included Camille, even though he didn't say it explicitly.

Ayan understood, but did not respond.

The old Simpson continued, "Let me tell you a story, a story that has been hidden for many years."

Before Ayan could ask what it was, the old Simpson began to speak.

The whole process lasted several minutes, with the old Simpson speaking without pause, recounting the whole story to Ayan.

After hearing the story, Ayan's expression became contemplative, with a very serious look on his face, but no excessive emotions or reactions.

The old Simpson asked, "Why are you silent?"

"Grandfather, if I had known about this matter for so long and didn't say anything, would you think I have ulterior motives?" Ayan's lips curved into a faint smile, and the gravity on his face vanished. He lifted his gaze to meet the old Simpson's eyes, the expression on his face unusually cold. Although there was a curve in his mouth, it lacked warmth. He said, "Some things don't need to be cleared. Just like when I asked you if you knew about the Bill family in Flento City, and you said you didn't, so I didn't ask more, and I didn't investigate whether you were involved with the Bill family."
