He was so flustered. He didn't even know why he did that.

Maybe he just felt guilty. What if she heard their conversation? “Glenda just finished preparing dinner. Come down if you're done,” Camila said with a smile.

It was only after this that Alick Looked at her.

The smile on her face looked so genuine.

She seemed to be okay.

He let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. She wouldn't be Like that if she heard them talking earlier, would she?

If she had, then it would have brought a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings.

“Yes, we're done here," Alick answered, feeling more at ease now.

She nodded and met Isaac's eyes behind. After a short smile at him, she turned around and walked to her room with little Joe in her arms.

Isaac asked Willie and Alick to go ahead and have dinner, then hurried after Camila.

Camila was changing the baby's diapers when Isaac knocked and came in. She forced a smile on her face and said, “You should go ahead and have dinner. Joe is sleepy and I have to coax him to sleep."

Feeling something unusual in her voice, he walked in and looked at her curiously.

“Did you hear what I said in the study?"

“What are you talking about?" She feigned ignorance, but he didn't seem to buy it.

So, she touched her face and asked, "Don't I look well?"

She didn't give him the chance to answer and continued, “It's just that

I'm very tired with all the work I've been doing recently."

He came closer and said in a soft voice, "In that case, let me take care of Joe. You go and eat, then go to bed early.”

She finished changing Joe's diapers and stood up to leave.

But as she walked past him, Isaac held her hand and pulled her back. Her hands were cold and soft.

He looked into her eyes and said, “If it's too tiring, you can just leave.."

"I love my job very much, Isaac," she interrupted him before he could finish.

He sighed and pressed his lips into a thin line before he finally nodded.

She smiled softly at him and said, "Let me go and have dinner now." With that, she pulled her hand out of his and walked out of the room. As soon as she closed the door, the mask of a smile on her face fell and was replaced with a sad look.

Maybe she should have asked, but she didn't want him to lie to her.
