“You won't Learn anything if he doesn't want you to know."

Nelson regarded her knowingly.

“You know him very well."

"I guess I have a better understanding of his temper than anyone else," Camila stated.

Nelson led her to their table. There were already a lot of guests inside the venue.

“Annis isn't my biological daughter," Nelson suddenly said.

That caught Camila off guard.

She was wearing a mask, but the Look of surprise in her eyes was still visible.

Her lashes fluttered.

Nelson sighed melancholically. "Not having a child with Cathy is one of my biggest regrets in life. I lost a kidney, and she was sick."

The doctor had stated he could still conceive, but Cathy was not healthy enough to bear a child.

“We adopted Annis from an orphanage, and we've always treated her as our own daughter," Nelson stated.

Camila recalled Cathy telling her that her twenty-year-old daughter's name was Annis.

Nelson and Cathy had only been together for a little over ten years. That explained why Annis‘ age did not fit the narrative. It turned out she was adopted.

"I told you Annis went to investigate Cathy's grave. Aren't you worried that she might run into Isaac?" Nelson asked.

Camila immediately figured out what he was implying.

“He can be with anyone he wants."

Isaac was free to choose who to love.

Camila raised her head.

She had dignity.

She had her own pride.

She loved him, and leaving him had crushed her heart to pieces. However, she did not want him to love her just because of Joe.

He did not love her, so she set him free. She gave him the freedom to love anyone he wanted. She did not want to ensnare him with her by using a child.

That was one of the reasons she chose to leave.

Nelson regarded her with admiration in his eyes.
