Camila wasn't expecting him to say such a thing. It was as though he had tossed a stone into the calm lake that was her heart, stirring up waves.

“Are you going to officially recognize Joe as a Johnston?" she asked Isaac's expression softened. His answer surprised her. "I want a home."

And in that home was his wife and his child.

Camila could see the sense of longing and expectation in the man's eyes.

It was the first time she had seen him Like this.

“A home for you and me?" Camila was surprised.

“But what about Fidelia?"

Isaac's smile stiffened.

This woman was talented at destroying intimate atmospheres.

“Why do you keep mentioning that irrelevant person?"

Camila averted her gaze. Even she had to admit that she seeing Isaac with that woman made her terribly unhappy.

“Stop worrying about her. I've asked Willie to transfer her to someplace far from here. And for the last time, I have nothing to do with her, okay?" He stretched out his hand and was about to touch her face, but she turned her head away and mumbled, “You don't need to explain things to me."

Isaac's hand paused midair. Then he let it fall to his side awkwardly.

“Don't you want to give our child a home? A complete family?"

Of course she did. All she ever wanted was for her child to grow up in a healthy environment with both parents present.

It would be good for the child.

And she couldn't deny that she had feelings for her son's father.

So for the sake of her child, she might do his bidding.

Besides, Isaac was nothing but affectionate to her.

"Yes."

She made up her mind. Be it for Joe or for herself, she had to fight for their happiness!

“So why did your cousin take Joe?" she suddenly asked.

Isaac sighed. "Audrey Johnston is the one who hired people to kill me the night we met. Audrey is Gunter’s wife, and Gunter is my father's younger brother."

He mentioned their names as if they were his peers.

Because those people didn't deserve to be called his aunt and uncle. And he refused to address them as such. He always called them by their first names.
