When she saw Nelson, she immediately started whining.

“Dad, why does my half-brother possess such a heartless and frigid nature? He had me cast out of his office as if I were a stranger. Am I not his sister? His coldness wounds me deeply. And to add insult to injury, he kicked me out of the country! How dare he!"

Annis raged, her features twisted with anger.

Nelson was unsurprised by Annis's outburst.

He offered her a glass of water.

“Drink, my dear, and let this water soothe your storm."

Annis, still aflame, continued her tirade.

“Even if he's against me looking for him, I shall do it regardless!"

Nelson, realizing the significance of Cathy in his own life, understood Annis's determination.

"You need to work out a strategy." He contemplated the situation, recognizing that Camila, who had spent months by Isaac's side, could hold the key to unlocking his guarded heart.

“Fret not, my child. I shall help you," Nelson said, assuring her.

Annis's eyes sparkled with anticipation. "Tell me, dad, what's your plan? Come on, dad, what is it?! What's going through your head?"

Nelson swiftly grabbed some food for Camila, insisting they have dinner first.

However, he purposefully avoided mentioning anything about Camila Camila had always preferred to keep her personal matters private, so Nelson chose not to disclose the details to his daughter.

But Annis, filled with curiosity, persisted, "Dad, please tell me. I dying to know."

Trying to divert the conversation, Nelson swiftly changed the subject, asking Annis for her impression of Isaac, hoping for a spark of romantic interest.

But to his surprise, Annis didn‘t dwell on it much and simply remarked, “God bestowed upon him a strikingly handsome appearance, but also cursed him with a terrible temper. So, I suppose God's sense of fairness is at play."

Chuckling, Nelson prodded, “And then?" Perplexed, Annis responded, “And then what?" Noticing that Annis didn't develop any feelings for Isaac, contrary to his expectations, Nelson felt a wave of relief.

It seemed she was solely focused on finding Cathy's gravesite, putting his concerns to rest.

Despite Annis not being his biological daughter, she had always shown immense filial piety, which warmed Nelson's heart.

Upon Annis' realization, she stared at Nelson as she accused him, "Dad, we share blood ties. No matter how handsome he may be, I can't Like him. What's gotten into you?"

Nelson had adopted Annis when she was just two years old, and she had no recollection of her adoption.

They had always treated her as their own, never discussing her adoption in her presence.

Annis believed she was the biological child of Nelson and Cathy.

“My mistake. I was mistaken," Nelson evaded, attempting to shift the blame. "I had a few drinks at noon and it's affecting my clarity."
