From the very beginning, Marvin had wished for her to marry into the esteemed Johnston family.

In his eyes, a woman capable of captivating a man's heart should possess talents in dance and piano. However, when standing beside a successful man, the ability to converse and possess knowledge held a greater significance.

Only a woman of exceptional ability could truly complement an excellent man.

Marvin had an astute eye, deeming Isaac a remarkable man. Hence, he aspired for his daughter to win Isaac's affection.

Had he lived to witness the outcome, he would have surely swelled with pride, right? His plan had succeeded.

Sadly, fate denied him the time to see how perfectly things panned out with his two eyes!

Isaac, indeed, fell in love with Camila; a woman meticulously crafted by Marvin.

Late into the night. Camila remained seated at her desk.

Books of various kinds littered its surface.

They were also accompanied by scattered notes.

Tousled hair hid the fierce scars on her half face, leaving only her flawlessly exposed face visible.

In the dim light, she exuded an aura of serenity.

Setting down her pen, she placed a hand on her swollen belly and cast a detached gaze on the calendar.

Tomorrow marked Joe's birthday.

That was his first year.

And at that moment, the doorbell chimed.

Camila checked the time; it had surpassed midnight.

With Joe's birthday drawing near, her Longing for him intensified. Whenever she thought of her son, Isaac's image would inevitably surface in her mind.

Taking hold of the phone, she clutched it tightly. After a brief moment of hesitation, she dialed the number.

The call connected right away. "Is it not already Late where you are? Why did you call me? Is everything alright?"

Josiah and Camila were still in touch, and every once in a while, Josiah would sneakily snap photos of Joe and send them to Camila.

After he sent her a video of Joe, she called him to ask for help, which would undoubtedly trouble him.

However, today was Joe's birthday.

“Why aren't you saying anything?" Josiah, perceiving her uncertainty, added, "I told you that everything on your desk has been put away." Josiah could not tell her the truth.

He did not want her to stress out, so he told her he had put her stuff away.
