Mistaken Marriage, Unexpected Love

Chapter 26

It was a damper that he had to Leave before the party even started, but at least he came. Now, everyone in the hospital should know that she had a special relationship with Isaac Johnston.

“Let me see you off.” Debora also stood up and followed Isaac out of the hotel. In fact, she was simply worried that he might have another interaction with Camila.

She couldn't let that happen. After all, Camila was the woman from that night, not her.

Isaac strode out of the building, his eyes immediately scouring the surroundings for any sign of Camila, but she was already gone.

Needless to say, Camila had no intention to stick around and wait for Isaac to catch up with her.

She had all but bolted through the hotel doors and hailed the first taxi she saw.

The black car cruised into the driveway. Willie rolled the window down.

“Mr. Johnston.”

Isaac glanced at Debora and said, “You should go back.” He got into the car without waiting for her reply. Debora stood there until the car disappeared from view.

She couldn't help but regret the way the things were unfolding between her and Isaac.

If she had known it would turn out like this, she would have jumped at the opportunity to marry him the moment he had brought it up. She would have been going by the name Debora Johnston by now. As things currently stood, however, Debora was at a Loss on how to win the man’s heart.

What could she do to charm Isaac? How could she make him fall in love with her?

At the Johnston mansion. Camila was the one who arrived first. Robin Johnston was already past the age of eighty, and it showed in the wrinkles on his face and the general air of austerity of his bearing.

Fortunately, he was still in a pretty good shape. His eyes were no longer as bright as they had been in his younger years, but they were infinitely kind and wise.

“How are you coping with married life?” he asked Camila with concern. “Are you starting to get used to it?”

She just nodded along. “Yes.”

It was no secret that Isaac was Robin’s favorite grandchild, and Camila’s father had all but demanded that she marry him. Robin had known from the start that Isaac did not like Camila. By all rights, he should have refused the match.

He could have easily overridden the favor he owed the Haynes family by giving Marvin something else, something more valuable, perhaps.

And yet, not only had Robin approved of the marriage, but he had gone so far as to use his connections to secure the marriage certificate while Isaac was out of the country.

He was also the one who had persuaded Camila to live in Isaac’s villa after their marriage.

All that felt like a Lifetime ago, but Camila still couldn't figure out the reason behind Robin's actions.
