The instant Isaac stepped out of the car, she got a good look at his tall frame and gorgeous face. Six months had passed, and he had not changed a bit.

He still had an elegant and costly air about him.

Joe stayed contentedly in his arms, and the corners of his eyes crinkled as he smiled sweetly.

Camila's mouth turned up at the corners.

Giving Joe to Isaac was the right decision.

When she looked up from her phone, it was to gaze out the window. Through the crack in the curtain, a sliver of moonlight spilled on her face, illuminating the scars on her right cheek and making her look more menacing.

Slowly, she closed her eyes

They welled up with tears which trickled slowly down to the pillow. The next morning, she was planning to go out when Nelson came.

“Will you come home early tonight?" Nelson questioned.

Since she started work at the Madeline Research Centre, she had been swamped with work.

She would leave the apartment early but return late.

They barely saw each other these days

Camila, instead of responding to his question, asked, “Do you need something from me?"

Nelson hesitated for a moment, then said, "I need your help with something." “What is it?" Camila asked.

Nelson then narrated, "I submitted an admission application to an auction with Annis a month ago, but she has now returned to the home country, and I've yet to find someone suitable to take her place."

“Can't you go alone?" Camila inquired with furrowed brows.

“No. I can't get admitted if I go there by myself," Nelson replied.

“I don't think I have time for.."

“I know you're not too busy to go out; you just really don't want to," Nelson interrupted.

Camila gave him a disapproving look and took off the mask she was wearing, revealing the scars on her face.

“I don't belong at events like that."

"You can wear a mask," Nelson suggested.

Due to his persistence, Camila finally gave up and said, “Fine.” Nelson grinned. "Great! I'll come and get you when it's time."

Camila nodded.

A day flew by in no time.
