It was evident that Rowena had put in a lot of time and effort into preparing them.

Rowena was overjoyed on seeing them.

“Wow! My Joe has grown plumper, taller, and more like Isaac," Rowena said in excitement. She inspected Joe from head to toe.

Camila also looked at Joe carefully. Indeed, he bore a resemblance to Isaac.

“Before I forget, do you still recall the wedding date that I suggested for you the last time? Now the weather is getting colder, and the time drawing nearer. You can start with the preparations."

Camila's heart pounded against her ribcage. She was sure that it had completely eluded Isaac.

Holding a wedding at that moment would not be feasible at all, even if he hadn't forgotten about it.

She didn't know what to say, so she purposely diverted the conversation. "Mom, I have to attend a wedding soon. What do you think would be an appropriate attire?"

“Who are the bride and groom?" Rowena asked.

“It's Forrest Walters.”

“Come again! Forrest who?!" Rowena asked in disbelief.

Just then, there was a loud exclamation from the direction of the door that caught their attention.

Camila immediately turned her head towards the source of the sound.

It was Aldrin. He was standing at the door.

The sight of him left her speechless for a moment, before she opened her mouth and asked, “Since when have you been around?"

“I just arrived," he responded.

Aldrin rushed in and grabbed Camila's arm and asked, “On a serious note, is Forrest planning on getting married?"

Camila nodded in the affirmative. Then she added, "He really is, but I don't want you to tell Laura."

Aldrin sneered as he said, “If he had the audacity to do it, then why am I not allowed to tell her?"

"It is really not Like that. Forrest actually wanted to tell Laura, but I stopped him. Since his breakup with Laura is so recent, I was concerned that she would not be able to handle the news of his impending marriage."

“I think this is the final straw that would make her come to terms with reality. Why did you keep it a secret from her? Only something like this would make her give up on him!" Aldrin pointed out.

Camila paused thoughtfully.

Aldrin's words seemed to hold some truth in them.

“I am going to tell her the truth, whether she likes it or not." He retrieved his phone from his pocket and was about to place a call to

Laura.
