Upon reading the message, Laura glanced at the living room and replied, “It's fine."

Laura seemed to be ready for it, prepared for whatever would come.

Camila noticed this and went back to the dining table, smiling.

"Sorry about that. The research institute called with a question."

As she talked, she glanced at Laura, who was serving some food onto her plate. “Don't worry about it," Laura responded.

Seeing Laura's calm demeanor, Camila replied, “Okay.”

Laura appeared calm and unaffected by the news of Forrest's arrival, but Camila worried that Morrison would get the wrong impression of Laura.

Camila ate her meal with a sense of unease.

The food was excellent, but she couldn't enjoy it.

Isaac noticed something was off with her. He poured her a bowl of soup and placed it before her, asking, "What's on your mind?"

Camila shook her head and replied, “It's nothing."

She picked up the bowl.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Glenda moved to open the door.

Camila got up and said, “Glenda, let me handle this."

She walked to the hallway and opened the door.

Upon seeing Forrest, she asked in a hushed tone, “What are you up to?"

Ignoring her question, Forrest smiled and barged in.

As he entered, the mood at the table shifted slightly.

Alick also rose to his feet, wary of any trouble Forrest would cause.
