Ayan nodded lightly, already having an answer in his heart. Some things just couldn't be a coincidence, there are no random occurrences in the world. Once a chance meeting happens, there's always a reason.
Ayan remained silent, the silence stretching on for a while, until Kian spoke up again, asking, "Mr. Simpson, what are you thinking?"
Only then, Ayan calmly spoke, "Nothing, I was just thinking, what's the significance of the old Simpson's actions? I initially thought it was only my father going alone, but now the old Simpson has also gone."
Is Brody really that important?
Ayan smiled faintly, not really thinking so.
He continued, "Logan's inquiries will definitely be known by the old Simpson, but we don't need to worry too much. I understand the old Simpson's thoughts, and he will come to me soon."
The grandfather and grandson began a silent battle of endurance, but the old Simpson was just a bored old man in the hospital, with nothing to do. Once his mind latched onto something, it made him uncomfortable.
Compared to the old Simpson's boredom, Ayan was much busier. He had no free time, attending several meetings and handling many documents in a short time.
Ayan set aside many things when he got busy, but the old Simpson kept thinking about the matter.
As the end of the workday approached, Ayan received a call from the old Simpson.
On the phone, the old Simpson's voice was low and stern as he said, "Come have dinner with me tonight."
Upon hearing the old Simpson's voice, Ayan had to hold back a smile. But to avoid upsetting the old man, he restrained himself, answering, "Later?"
"Yes," the old Simpson grunted, but feeling his tone was too mild, he hastily added, "What? Do I need to inform you in advance to have dinner with me?"
Ayan immediately laughed, saying, "Grandfather, don't misunderstand me. I was just asking. You are usually more eager to see Camille, why suddenly invite me to dinner?"
Ayan's tone was gentle, without much emotion.
He would never directly question the old Simpson's thoughts, even though he knew the old Simpson knew about his visit to the police station. This response was tormenting.
The old Simpson knew Ayan's personality, and Ayan understood the old Simpson's thoughts. Thus, the grandfather and grandson had their own plans and thoughts.
The old Simpson grumbled, "Just come over, don't babble."
Ayan quickly agreed, then asked, "Should I bring Camille? She hasn't seen you in a while. Let her greet you?"
The old Simpson's voice turned sharp, "Camille has her own business. If I want to see her, I'll contact her myself. No need for you to pass messages."
This meant Camille should not come, as she wasn't convenient.
Ayan complied and said, "Alright, I'll come by later. Let's bring Timmy next time to visit together."
Ayan had to call Camille, as she had already planned to have dinner with him after returning from the police station. Now, she had to stand him up to visit the old Simpson at the hospital.
Camille understood immediately and asked, "Do you need me to come along? It's been a while since the old man saw me."
Camille cared a lot about the old Simpson, so without hesitation, she was ready to accompany Ayan.
After Camille's offer, Ayan quickly said, "No, I'll only be there for a moment before going home. We can visit grandfather together another time. He'll probably want to scold me for not standing up for you. If you come with me, he won't be able to release his emotions." Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Calm and composed, Ayan remained unfazed, making everything seem normal.
Camille didn't think too much, just agreeing and reminding Ayan, "If he scolds you, just bear with it, okay?"
Ayan asked, "So, do I have to suffer for your sake?"
Camille replied, "A little suffering is fine, don't worry. It's just him saying things because he cares. Endure it for me."
Ayan laughed, his voice deep, "So, you want me to sacrifice?"
"For me, can you make a little sacrifice?"
"Okay, as long as you're happy, I can do anything."
"Then you remember to tell grandfather it's not my fault for not coming. We'll take Timmy to play in a couple of days." Calmly, Camille instructed.
Ayan agreed, saying, "I'll cook supper for you when I get back. How about I make clam and vermicelli soup?"
"Sure, you should eat with me!" Camille wasn't excessively concerned about her weight, just didn't like eating alone at night, as she would usually dine alone with Ayan present, but he wouldn't eat.
Ayan happily agreed, and they chatted briefly before ending the call.
After work, Ayan left Simpson Group and went directly to the hospital. By the time he arrived, it was around six o'clock.
In the hospital room, the old Simpson was watching TV. Upon hearing the door open, he looked at Ayan.
The grandson greeted, "Grandfather, were you waiting for me?"
The old Simpson's gaze was sharp, his voice cold, "Let's eat."
Ayan saw through the old Simpson's manner and smiled faintly. Without showing any emotion, he asked, "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
