“Well... You're right," Annis replied.

"Congratulations!" Camila said with a warm smile.

Annis looked troubled, saying, "I really want to get married, but Alick says he's too busy. I'm eager to get the marriage certificate and have a wedding in Faymoor. My mom may have passed, but my dad's still here. I don't want to let him down. I want him to be part of my wedding.”

Camila sympathized with Annis' feelings.

She had a point.

“Do you want me to help?" Camila offered.

Annis hesitated, saying, “I wouldn't want to trouble you, especially since Alick doesn't want me reaching out to you."

“Why not?" Camila inquired.

"Alick's caught up with work. He doesn't want to take time off,"

Annis explained.

Camila paused thoughtfully before suggesting, “How about waiting to hear from me?"

She needed to discuss it with Isaac first.

She couldn't decide on her own.

Annis appeared uncertain.

She was afraid that Alick would blame her.

Camila reassured, "I'll update you once I know more. Maybe you could talk it over with Alick?"™

"That sounds like a good plan." Annis beamed at the idea.

They left the baby store with their purchases and headed to the supermarket for some fruits.

As they exited the mall, Camila asked, "How did you get here?"

“I took a taxi. I was feeling bored at home and wanted to get out for a bit."
