They parted outside the train station, with Rowena heading to the Haynes residence, while Camila took Joe back to the villa.

When she arrived, Laura was just about to leave.

The moment she spotted Camila with Joe in her arms, her eyes immediately flashed in vigilance. They couldn't let Glenda see the baby.

“Is your mother here?" Laura asked quietly

Camila nodded.

“Why did you bring Joe here? What if Isaac sees him?" Camila looked at her son tenderly. "Just let him see Joe

Laura frowned in confusion. "Aren't you worried about his reaction?"

"I... I do love Isaac, but I can't disregard my son for his sake. I thought long and hard about what you said to me that day, but the second I saw Joe earlier, I realized that nothing else mattered. Men were of no importance. I want to be with my son, take care of him, and raise him into a good man."

Laura could only sigh. She had to admit that Camila's display of maternal Love was quite overwhelming.

"I don't regret keeping Joe, and I don't want to hide him or deny his existence. My worries are of no consequence. If I am only a passing fancy to Isaac, then he will get tired of me sooner or later, regardless of whether I've given birth to another man's child or not. And if I want to give us a real shot, then I should be honest with him. He has the right to know everything about me. If he can't accept me as I am, then there's nothing I can do about it. But if he accepts Joe..

Camila gently stroked the baby's soft cheeks, her eyes brimming with love.

“If he can accept Joe and is willing to raise him as his own, then I will be a good and devoted wife to him. But if he doesn't want my son, I will Leave without a moment's hesitation."

Seeing that her friend had made up her mind, Laura didn't say anything more. "You still need to handle your father's funeral, right? I'm done with my work, so I'm free for the next few days. Let me take care of Joe for a while.”

She peered at the baby and said, “You know, I always thought that Joe's eyes look a little like Isaac's. Who knows? They may be destined to be father and son. Maybe you can give Joe a complete family."

“Waah. Waah.

As if knowing that he was being talked about, the baby suddenly wailed. Glenda happened to be coming downstairs at that moment, having just finished cleaning the rooms in the second floor.

“Why is there a crying baby in the villa?" she called out curiously.

When Glenda saw a little baby in Camila's arms, she walked over curiously. "Whose baby is this

She looked at Laura and guessed, "Is it Miss Ballard's?"

Laura looked at Camila with a soft smile on her lips and said, “I've not been blessed that way yet."

Glenda looked at both women in confusion. "Then whose is it?"

“Mine,” Camila said in a low voice.

Glenda's eyes went wide. "Mrs. Johnston. You mean.. Your child?"

Glenda was still in a daze but managed to ask, "Is it Mr. Johnston's?" “No," Camila said honestly.

“What?" Glenda exclaimed. "If it's not Mr. Johnston's, then whose is it? You have a child with another man?"
