Mistaken Marriage, Unexpected Love

Chapter 38

He wasn’t expecting to see the pair happily sharing a meal together. He wouldn’t believe it if anyone told him, either, but he had seen it with his own eyes.

“Do you want me to call Forrest over so that you can ask him?” Willie suggested. Isaac simply hummed in agreement. Willie wasted no time and made the call.

In less than half an hour, Forrest was entering the company building. He went directly to Isaac’s office and spoke as soon as he walked through the door. “I actually have something to discuss with you-”NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“You know Camila?” Isaac interrupted him bluntly

“Yes, | do,” Forrest nodded.

“She is my junior at university, and she is also the one who treated you the other day.”

Isaac leaned back on the leather sofa, his eyes turning pensive. So it had been her that day? He was taken aback by this discovery.

Forrest strode over and plopped on the chair across from him.

“As | was saying, Isaac, do you think you can cut her some slack?”

Isaac raised an eyebrow and cocked his head to the side. Anyone who knew him well would know that the more relaxed he appeared, the more dangerous his thoughts were.

Was Forrest so familiar with Camila that he would speak up for her like this? Isaac was inexplicably irked by that.

“Are you trying to champion her right now?” he asked in a Low voice.

“What is your relationship, exactly?”

Forrest was all too willing to advocate for Camila.

“We've been friends since medical school. She was two years my junior, and | took her under my wing. | heard that her father was a cheating bastard who was cruel to her and her mother. She worked part-time throughout school in order to pay for her tuition herself. Camila has been through a lot, Isaac.”

Since Isaac had asked first, he jumped at the opportunity to plead for his friend’s generosity.

He needed to convince Isaac to let Camila off and not force her out of her job.

“That’s why | take care of her, Isaac. Because we've been good friends for a long time, and Camila doesn’t deserve to suffer more from life. | hope you forgive her, if only for the sake of her sick mother. She needs the job to pay for her mother’s treatments. | have no idea what she might have done to offend you, but please do this for me, for old times’ sake.”

Isaac remained indifferent on the surface, but his heart was wavering. He had to admit that Camila’s life did sound tragic. Nevertheless, her tribulations and her trespasses against him were two different things. He saw no reason to forgive her.

Isaac shifted to a more laid-back position, and his tone turned mocking.

“| can forgive her, but she will have to beg me for it herself.”
