She held her son and showed him the jade pendant.

"Do you like it?"

Joe, with his big round eyes, looked at the pendant in bewilderment, uncertain of what it was.

Then Camila fastened the jade pendant around his neck.

She hoped her grandfather's aspirations for her could be passed on to Joe.

And in the future, Joe could pass it down to his own children.

As it grew late, Isaac suggested she get some rest.

The next morning, Camila was abruptly awakened from her sleep.

“What are you doing?" She rubbed her bleary eyes.

As her vision cleared, she spotted the figure by the bed.

She was both surprised and shocked!

“Why are you here?"

"My job is to wake you up," Aldrin responded.

Camila was taken aback.

She frowned.

Aldrin had approached her the previous day, expressing regret for his outburst, acknowledging that he shouldn't have acted so angrily and prematurely quit his job.

He was open to resuming his job again.

But was this part of his duties?

Finding humor in the situation, Camila queried, "So, Isaac hired you to wake me up?"

“Mr. Johnston assigned me to accompany you to the wedding venue. It's nearing completion, so you can inspect it to see if there are any elements you're displeased with. These can be amended today. Waking you up was my personal decision. It's getting late, you should get up."
