Chapter 246
Mistaken Marriage, Unexpected Love
Camila realized it was futile to protest.
She Looked up at Isaac and asked, âYou're busy this evening, right? You donât have time, do you?â
âNo, Iâm not busy today,â Isaac said, standing up.
Camila was surprised. Couldnât he see Glenda was deliberately trying to set them up?
â| donât think you like the lanterns...â Camila said.
âIt never hurts to try something new!â he said optimistically.
Camila couldn't believe her ears.
âYou know Glenda is doing this on purpose so why didnât you refuse her?â Camila asked him.
â| know you donât want to be around me and seeing you angry makes me happy.â
What was Camila supposed to answer to that?
In the end, they went to see the lanterns together.
It was quite chilly by the river and the cold wind whipped Camilaâs hair around her face. Many kids were around them getting
very excited.
âMommy! Look! This Lamp is in the shape of a panda! Itâs so cute! This oneâs a giraffe! Look! A lion!â
This child was holding a popsicle in his hand, was running fast and was so distracted by the lanterns that he ran right into
Camila. On the floor, he raised he head and in between sobs called, âMommy...â
Camila was taken aback by the Little boy calling her âmommyâ. A cloud fell over Isaacâs face.
âHardy, thatâs not your mommy. Your mother is over there,â said an aged lady as she bundled the young boy into her arms. The
Lady looked at Camila apologetically and said, âIâm sorry. My grandson is a Little confused. Your trousers...â
Camila looked down at her trousers which were sticky with the popsicle. She waved her hands away and said, âDonât worry. It
doesnât matter.â There were many families beside the river for the Lantern show.
It was normal that the boy might mistake someone for his mom.
Camila had noticed a change come over Isaac. âYou donât like children do you?â
This wasn't true. It wasnât that Isaac didnât Like children
He said indifferently, âI wouldnât want you to have a child.â
Camila thought of the baby in her belly and looked down. Sheepishly, she asked, âWhat would you do if | had a baby?â
âHow could | let you give birth to a bastard?!â
Isaac wanted to leave after that.
In his opinion, there was nothing to enjoy here
