Chapter: 246
Camila realized it was futile to protest.
She Looked up at Isaac and asked, "You're busy this evening, right? You don't have time, do you?"
"No, I'm not busy today," Isaac said, standing up.
Camila was surprised. Couldn't he see Glenda was deliberately trying to set them up?
"I don't think you like the lanterns..." Camila said.
“It never hurts to try something new!" he said optimistically.
Camila couldn't believe her ears.
“You know Glenda is doing this on purpose so why didn't you refuse her?" Camila asked him.
“I know you don't want to be around me and seeing you angry makes me happy."
What was Camila supposed to answer to that?
In the end, they went to see the lanterns together.
It was quite chilly by the river and the cold wind whipped Camila's hair around her face. Many kids were around them getting very excited.
“Mommy! Look! This Lamp is in the shape of a panda! It's so cute! This one's a giraffe! Look! A lion!"
This child was holding a popsicle in his hand, was running fast and was so distracted by the lanterns that he ran right into Camila. On the floor, he raised he head and in between sobs called, "Mommy..."
Camila was taken aback by the Little boy calling her ‘mommy’. A cloud fell over Isaac's face.
“Hardy, that's not your mommy. Your mother is over there," said an aged lady as she bundled the young boy into her arms. The Lady looked at Camila apologetically and said, "I'm sorry. My grandson is a Little confused. Your trousers..."
Camila looked down at her trousers which were sticky with the popsicle. She waved her hands away and said, "Don't worry. It doesn't matter." There were many families beside the river for the Lantern show.
It was normal that the boy might mistake someone for his mom.
Camila had noticed a change come over Isaac. "You don't like children do you?"
This wasn't true. It wasn't that Isaac didn't Like children
He said indifferently, “I wouldn't want you to have a child."
Camila thought of the baby in her belly and looked down. Sheepishly, she asked, "What would you do if I had a baby?"
“How could I let you give birth to a bastard?!"
Isaac wanted to leave after that.
In his opinion, there was nothing to enjoy here
