Chapter: 919
When she found out that the caller was not him, she couldn't help but feel a Little disappointed.

"Hello?" Camila answered the phone.

“Are you available tonight? If you are, could you please bring Joe back? I miss him so much." Camila heard Rowena's voice from the other end of the line.

"Okay," replied Camila, agreeing to her request

“One more thing!" After a brief silence, Rowena suggested, “Why don't you and Isaac come over tonight and I'll grab some more food? Let's have dinner together."

“Isaac,” Camila breathed out softly.

She cast her gaze downward and replied softly, "He's currently out of the country for a business matter in the company.”

When Camila mentioned that Isaac went abroad for something related to the company, Rowena, being a married woman, couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

Rowena's tone was stern and it conveyed suspicion as she said, "Tell me the truth, Camila."

Camila swiftly recollected her thoughts, wondering if she had misspoken.

"I don't get it. Why do you think I would Lie to you mom?" she asked in feigned innocence.

“Could it be that you had a misunderstanding with Isaac?" Rowena inquired curtly, ignoring Camila's question

“No. Everything is alright between us. Mother, were you expecting us to fight?"

“Of course not! I wanted you to be alright. I'm just worried that. "You're overthinking things, Mom. Both of us are doing great!" Camila chipped in.

“Are you sure?" Rowena asked. She remained somewhat doubtful.

“Yes. Why would I deceive you? We are genuinely doing well. Please, don't fret. There is nothing to worry about on our end," Camila replied assuringly.

Rowena pondered for a moment and realized that she might have been overthinking things.

"Fine." Rowena's disappointment was apparent in the tone of her voice as she said, “It has been a while since I last saw you. I miss you terribly."

“Same here. But don't you worry. We'll get to see when I bring Joe to visit you." “How could it be the same? You and Isaac are now a couple and Isaac is my son-in-law. As the saying goes ‘a son-in-law is as good as a half-son', so I also miss him."

As Camila contemplated her recent relationship with Isaac, she felt disheartened. However, she made an effort to maintain a composed tone as she said, “Mother, I still have work to do. I will bring Joe to visit you after work. Please buy some more food. Your daughter and grandson need to eat as well."

“Sure!" replied Rowena affectionately.

Upon hanging up the phone, Camila resumed reading.

After she got off from work, Camila returned home and took Joe to the Haynes family's residence.

It was dinner time and the table was set.

There were numerous delectable dishes and delicacies on the table.
