"Meet my newly wedded wife, Margot."

The woman who had been comfortably seated on the couch with a child cradled in her arms rose and offered Camila a polite greeting.

"Hello, Jaylen mentioned a friend was visiting. It must be you he was speaking of. Pleasure to meet you."

Camila was stumped by Jaylen's intentions.

She reciprocated the greeting with a courteous smile.

"Hello."

Jaylen looped his arm around Margot and said, "After all, we're friends. I was upset you missed my wedding!"

“I wasn't able to travel then," Camila justified.

Staring at her, Jaylen queried, “Really? Was it because you were giving birth? Speaking of which, where is your child? When's the celebration for your little one?"

Camila's mind whirred and a piercing look lit her eyes.

"On the topic, you've been wedded for less than two months, right? How did the baby come?"

Gently patting Margot Wallace, Jaylen calmly instructed, "Explain."

"I've been with Jaylen for quite some time. He married me because I was expecting," Margot clarified.

It sounded plausible, yet Camila was skeptical.

"Is that so?"

“You doubt me?" Jaylen queried.

“I do," Camila retorted.

"I believe my child is missing because you stole him."

Margot's face registered shock as she turned to face Jaylen, questioning, "You took another person's child?"

"Enough with the absurdity," Jaylen growled at her.
