Detecting the faint tang of blood, Camila let him go, stating, “Stop pushing me."

To which Isaac responded, grinning, "Alright."

As Camila was about to rise from his laps, she lost her footing and found herself collapsing back onto Isaac.

Right at that moment, Glenda happened to enter, swiftly closing her eyes and spinning around while chuckling.

"Carry on, I didn't see a thing."

Then she scampered off.

She didn't want to intrude!

Camila was lost for words.

Her cheeks flushed.

Glenda had surely gotten the wrong idea.

What a shame!

She shot Isaac a scathing look, accusing, "This is all because of you."

Isaac just grinned, responding, "We're a couple, there's no need to be embarrassed."

With a final fierce glare at Isaac, Camila quickly retreated to the bedroom.

Once he was done eating, Isaac popped into the room to look in on Joe before going to summon Camila.

Given the scars marring her skin, Camila always donned a silk scarf to hide her face and neck whenever she stepped out.

On their drive to meet Alick, Camila turned to him, asking, "I saw a news report about a fire today. It was pretty severe and there were casualties. Will the police look into it?"

“Everything's been taken care of. We have our fall guys." Even though they were merely pawns, those two scoundrels had it coming.

He'd had his people investigate those two and discovered a long list of crimes like theft, assault, and sexual violence. They should've been punished ages ago.

Camila simply nodded.
