Mistaken Marriage, Unexpected Love

Chapter 39

Forrest could tell that his friend was still angry. “She is in a desperate situation,” he said with a sigh, “or she wouldn’t have come to me in the first place.”

He knew all too well that Camila hated to trouble others.

Isaac let out a derisive snort.

If that woman was really as desperate as Forrest claimed, then why hadn’t she come straight to Isaac? No, she wasn’t desperate enough just yet.

“Isaac,” Forrest tried again, but Isaac was done listening.

“I've stated my condition. Tell her to come to me and ask for my forgiveness herself.” His tone had become curt. Forrest sighed again, knowing that it was pointless for him to push any further.

“Fine, but don’t make things too difficult for her. She treated you when you were injured, after all.” Isaac tried to look nonchalant. “Do you like her?”

Why was Forrest so protective of Camila?Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Were they really just friends?

Did Camila like Forrest back? Did she cheat on Isaac because of Forrest?

“Of course not!” came Forrest's immediate reply. “I mean, | do like her... No, to be exact, | admire her. It’s true that she’s popular. There were a lot of boys who tried to pursue her back in university but she never entertained their advances. She’s a sensible girl who values her morals. Well, | suppose if | didn’t already have someone | like, | might have fallen for her, too. Haha...”

Isaac narrowed his eyes at Forrest, thinking that the latter must be a blind fool.

Did the man honestly think that Camila was a saint or something? Would a woman with good morals cheat on her husband?

On their wedding night, no less?

Isaac’s face darkened at the thought.

Meanwhile, Forrest was too preoccupied by his own musings to notice the change in Isaac’s expression. His mission was a total bust, but there was nothing he could do at this point.

The men exchanged their goodbyes. The first thing Forrest did after exiting the building was to call Camila. She was on her way to the hospital to check on her mother.

Forrest apologized over the phone and told her that he had failed to persuade Isaac.

“It’s all right,” Camila reassured him. She had expected as much, given Isaac’s temper.

“Don't trouble yourself over it anymore.”

They had a brief chat, before she hung up and walked into the In-Patient Department.

She was met by the nurse in the hallway.
