Mistaken Marriage, Unexpected Love

She looked down at Joe. His face was red.

Her little baby wasn’t Laughing Like he usually did. His eyes were red as though he had been crying for long.

“Is Joe ill?” she asked softly. She could tell that something was wrong with her baby.

However, Isaac walked past her and into the house as though he didn’t hear her.

Glenda walked to Camila and whispered, “Joe has a fever…”

“Glenda!” Isaac hissed without even Looking back.

Glenda snapped her mouth shut in fear and hurried into the house.

With pursed Lips, Camila took a deep breath and equally walked into the house. In the room, Isaac was standing in front of the window with Joe in his arms. The child’s arms rested on Isaac’s shoulders. His eyes were droopy, and his long eyelashes were wet.

“He must be sleepy. Let me have him. I’ll coax him to sleep,” she said as she walked over with her outstretched arms.

Isaac stepped aside and kept a good distance from her.

Camila swallowed sadly. Then she apologized in a low voice, “I’m sorry. I really wanted to come back earlier today, but something held me back. I wanted to…”

“Are you done? If you are, just go out!” Isaac interrupted her. Camila stiffened.

She stood there for a while, but when he didn’t say a word. She sighed and walked out of the room.

Joe needed to sleep. So maybe Isaac would coax him to sleep, then she would explain things to him Later.

Glenda watched as Camila came out of the room, Looking dejected. She walked over to her and asked in a low voice, “Have you had dinner yet?” “No.” Camila shook her head.

“Let me get you something to eat then,” Glenda said and turned to go.

“No, thanks, Glenda. I’m really not hungry.”

Glenda sighed and said, “You have to understand Mr. Johnston. Joe suddenly had a fever and was crying nonstop. We didn’t know what to do. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Mr. Johnston in such a state.”

“Oh God! It’s all my fault!” Camila covered her face with her hands and groaned.

She was both a bad mother and wife. She wasn’t present for her child and husband when they needed her. She didn’t take good care of her family.

Glenda looked at Camila with sympathy and said, “Maybe you should try coming back home earlier.”

“I know. I will,” Camila answered with a sigh.

Glenda nodded and then went back to work.

Exhausted, Camila leaned against the wall to support herself.
