My Ex-husband Begs Me Back

Chapter 1285: Deception

Chapter 1285: Deception

Ayan glanced at Mr. Tillery, his words filled with sincerity, and his deep eyes carried a subtle hint of

calculation. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

The Tillery family was slightly taken aback by his words, especially Mr. Tillery's daughter, Daisy. Her

initial smile turned into a stiff and incredulous expression.

She instinctively looked at Mr. Tillery, seemingly seeking an answer. However, Mr. Tillery gave her a

reassuring look and then asked Ayan, "Mr. Simpson, aren't you already divorced from your wife?"

Ayan narrowed his eyes, his expression calm, and his words were very composed. He replied, "Divorce

was just a little amusement between us."

"Oh, is that so?" Mr. Tillery faintly smiled and didn't pursue the topic any further.

They were still having Western cuisine today, with each dish meticulously prepared, both in

appearance and taste. Even Ayan, who had a discerning palate, had to admit their excellence.

Eating steak and drinking red wine made for a good combination.

After a few rounds of wine, Daisy couldn't contain her emotions any longer. She walked up to Ayan with

a glass in her hand and offered a toast, saying, "Mr. Simpson, I toast to you!"

Her language skills were mediocre, but her sincerity was evident.

Ayan, of course, needed to respond. He lifted his glass, glanced warmly at Daisy, and replied in a cold

tone, "Miss Daisy, there's no need for formalities from an Eastern girl like you. We don't have to engage

in forced toasts or do things we don't want to do."

Daisy's face stiffened, but admiration for Ayan still shone in her eyes. She said, "I really like you, Ayan.

I know you've separated from your wife, and I believe that only two equally matched individuals like us

should be together. So, I hope you can give us a chance, okay?"

Daisy expressed her thoughts directly, speaking frankly without a trace of shyness.

Her various reactions and attitudes pleased Mr. Tillery, who seemed to find his bold daughter quite

proud. A smile appeared on his face as he said, "Mr. Simpson, my daughter is straightforward and has

good judgment. The person she chooses must be outstanding. She's my only daughter, and everything

I have will be hers in the future. So, Mr. Simpson, do you have anything to say?"

Mr. Tillery's implications in these words were obvious. Even Mr. Tillery's secretary, who was dining with

Kian on the side, whispered to Kian, "If Mr. Simpson agrees to become Mr. Tillery's son-in-law, the

entire Tillery Group will be his. There's no need to expend effort in opening up foreign markets

anymore. We'll be friends working together in the future. Why not seize this opportunity?"

Kian remained silent, losing interest in his meal. He focused on the events unfolding nearby, knowing

that if Ayan stood up to leave, he would have to open the door.

Naturally, Ayan couldn't be allowed to leave. He continued sitting and eating here.

Kian wouldn't do anything that lacked foresight.

Therefore, Kian didn't respond to Mr. Tillery's secretary, only watching the situation with a slightly

serious expression.

Unable to get a response from Kian, the secretary awkwardly smiled and resumed eating.

At the main table, after Mr. Tillery finished speaking, Ayan didn't respond at all. He just sat there with a

serious expression, his thoughts unknown.

The atmosphere grew unusually silent, and Mr. Tillery's face became somewhat unpleasant.

At this moment, Mrs. Tillery spoke up and looked at Ayan, asking, "Mr. Simpson, are you still on good

terms with your ex-wife? Are you still entangled with your ex-spouse because of the child? Could it be

that you're using this as an excuse just to reject our Daisy?"

Ayan's expression remained indifferent as he looked at Mrs. Tillery. His voice was neither light nor

heavy as he said, "I've already mentioned that my wife and I are still married. The reason for our

divorce was my wrongdoing, and I need to face the consequences. Right now, I am pursuing my wife,

so I have no intention of being involved with anyone else."

With these words, Ayan made it clear that he was refusing the offer.

However, Mr. Tillery said, "Mr. Simpson, I hope you will reconsider. After all, this relationship between

us and the future development of Simpson Group here is also related to the smooth listing of Simpson

Group in the future. Simpson Group is already incredibly wealthy now. Haven't you thought about

making Simpson Group a multinational corporation? If you join forces with Mr. Tillery, no one in the

business world will dare to claim the top spot ahead of you."

Mr. Tillery presented a very attractive and tempting offer. For many businesses, it was like winning the

lottery, considering the significant reputation and influence of Tillery Group overseas. Being valued by

Tillery Group was akin to hitting the jackpot.

However, Mrs. Tillery, sitting beside him, didn't look pleased with Mr. Tillery's words. He was someone

who prioritized his career over everything else, often neglecting his wife. Naturally, she was quite

unhappy about it.

But Mr. Tillery didn't notice it at the moment. He was completely immersed in figuring out how to

convince Ayan.

Ayan didn't respond to Daisy's words and completely ignored her, treating her as if she were

transparent. After all, that's how he had dealt with such situations in the past: those women eventually

understood the futility of their efforts and withdrew. So, he believed Daisy would do the same. Read at

He turned to Mr. Tillery to continue expressing his thoughts, telling him that before marriage, work was

indeed his priority, but once he had a family, everything revolved around them.

Ayan saw through the purpose of this dinner today. Compared to last night when Mr. Tillery said he

wanted to introduce his family to Ayan, it was clear that the intention was to use this gathering to make

Daisy and Ayan acquainted, maybe even create some news in the process.

After all, Mr. Tillery was a formidable figure here, and his power and wealth were not to be

underestimated.

Ayan's refusal prevented Mr. Tillery from achieving his goal, leading to this dinner today. However,

Ayan's unwavering behavior and reactions made Mr. Tillery lose some patience, although he still

maintained the basic courtesy on the surface.
