Chapter: 2350
He acquiesced with a resigned nod since he didn't know where she was standing, his response tinged with a hint of longing. “Of course," he murmured, his words laden with unspoken affection.
As Camila's lips brushed against his cheek in a tender gesture of affection, Isaac's heart swelled with a bittersweet yearning, his senses heightened by the fleeting touch of her warmth.
After the meal, Camila retreated to the room, intent on adorning herself with some fine makeup.
As she dressed herself in an article of new clothing, she reached for her phone, dialing Forrest's number with a sense of purpose.
"Take Annis to Lolif Street," she instructed, her tone infused with quiet urgency. "I will be there in a while.”
Forrest, apprehensive yet obedient, glanced at Annis beside him, uncertainty clouding his features. "But why?" he ventured, his voice a whisper of doubt. “Isaac can't see. What if she discovers Isaac's condition? What am I supposed to say to her?"
Camila's response was brief yet resolute. "Just do as I say," she insisted, her words a command wrapped in veiled intent.
"Understood," Forrest conceded, his trust in Camila outweighing his reservations. Without another word, he hung up the phone and then said to Annis, “Camila is on Lolif Street. She asked me to take you there."
With a nod of acquiescence, Annis followed Forrest's lead. "Okay."
Forrest then took her to Lolif Street. As their car arrived, Camila was already waiting there.
Forrest was slightly surprised at the transformation before him.
Only some time ago, Camila had appeared weary and worn at home. Yet now, adorned with a skillful touch of makeup, she exuded an air of effortless vitality. The artistry of makeup never ceased to amaze Forrest. Its ability to conceal imperfections and enhance natural beauty was a testament to its transformative power.
Camila's choice of crimson lipstick, a departure from her usual palette, served to mask the pallor of her lips, lending a rosy hue to her otherwise wan complexion.
“You may go now," Camila instructed with a firm voice.
Forrest hesitated, his concern evident. “But you... he began, only to be swiftly interrupted by Camila's revelation."
“Eagle is with us. He'll protect us," she disclosed, her words a stark reminder of the dangers lurking in the shadows.
With a nod, Forrest acquiesced to her command, his trust in her unwavering. “Okay then."
As they wandered through the vibrant streets, Annis couldn't help but voice her thoughts. "Why have we come here, Camila?"
"I've heard that Lolif Street is pretty interesting, yet I've never set foot here myself," Camila replied. "I thought it would be a delightful adventure for us to explore together. I wanted to come here for shopping together with you."
A warm smile graced Camila's lips as she extended an invitation to Annis. “If there's anything that catches your fancy, simply let me know. The pleasure of buying what you like shall be mine," she offered, her arm outstretched in a gesture of camaraderie.
