“Being cooped up indoors isn't healthy either. Some sunshine will do him good."

Rowena retorted, "He always gets his share of sunshine. I often take him to the balcony."

The large balconies received ample sunlight, especially around noon.

"We can't keep Joe confined to the house forever. He'll be starting kindergarten in two years."

Rowena offered a resigned smile.

"It's up to you. But ensure he's always supervised."

After the recent events, Rowena had grown increasingly careful.

Camila simply nodded in response.

She spent some quality time with her son until exhaustion claimed him, and he fell asleep. Then Camila headed out, towards the location shared by Jaylen. Arriving at the destination, she knocked on the door.

Shortly after, the door opened.

The door swung open under Jaylen's hand.

"You nearly had me thinking you bailed on me again," he grumbled.

"I was tied up with something," Camila retorted nonchalantly.

"Come in." Jaylen motioned.

Camila held her position at the door, her eyes scanning the room warily.

Only when she noticed another presence in the room did she step in.

As Jaylen closed the door behind them, he taunted, “What's with the watchful gaze? Scared I might devour you?"

“Ever managed to outsmart me?"

Jaylen was silenced, acknowledging her astuteness.

Swiftly, he changed the topic.
