"Mr. Johnston."

Isaac seated himself. He reclined, gestured Alick to take a seat, and tersely instructed, “Proceed.”

Alick complied and disclosed, “I have conducted an inquiry on Jaylen and discovered that he is the baby's father. The woman he wedded was an employee at a bar, and they had a brief romantic encounter. When the woman conceived, she concealed her condition and compelled Jaylen to marry her as her pregnancy became apparent. Jaylen consented for the child's sake."

Isaac was convinced that Jaylen's appearance was deliberate.

He Likely harbored a secret and was using his son as a distraction.

“Alick, Jaylen and I go way back. Should I extend an invitation to his son?"

Alick was at a loss for words.

He rapidly deduced, “Seizing his son?"

Isaac shot him a narrow look and queried, “Why do you say seize?

We're merely inviting him."

Alick conceded, "Yes, an invitation it is. I'll arrange it immediately."

Isaac signaled his agreement.

After Alick's departure, Isaac spent a moment in thought.

He then ascended the staircase.

Simultaneously, Camila was arranging Joe's clothes.

The clothes were purchased by Isaac's man. There was an abundance of them.

She had yet to organize them.

“Aren't you retiring to bed?" Isaac approached. He seated himself behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist.

“We need to fold these clothes properly," Camila stated.

Isaac rested his chin on her shoulder and suggested, "You could assign this task to Glenda."
