Chapter 205

“Sweetheart!” Estrella entered the house with a mask on, and in a split second, the previously gloomy Isaac was buzzing with energy like a bee on a sugar rush. Scrambling up from the floor, he charged towards Estrella with his little legs pumping. “Mommy, Mommy!”

“Mama!” As Isaac flung himself into Estrella’s arms, you’d think he hadn’t seen her in

centuries.

Lifting Isaac up from the floor, Estrella showed no signs of illness. Her entire demeanor was lively and energetic.

Fearful of bringing home any germs, she had stopped by Waterfall Acres for a thorough scrub-down and donned her most airtight mask before entering the house.

Autumn couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of Estrella all bundled up. “The doctors said you’re clear, honey. You’re gonna be just fine. Aren’t you getting a bit claustrophobic in there?”

“I’m okay.” Estrella’s voice was muffled but firm.

When Isaac reached for Estrella’s mask, trying to peel away the barrier, Estrella quickly stopped him, “Sweetie, mommy’s been sick, we can’t take off the mask.”

Estrella had always been a force to be reckoned with, but ever since Isaac came into her

life, all her softness was reserved for her child.

Isaac, heeding Estrella’s warning, cautiously retreated.

As they settled in the living room, Isaac flipped through a book, proudly showing off his learning achievements to Estrella. When he placed the flashcards spelling ‘Daddy’ in fron of Estrella, his eyes carried the weight of his longing for his father.

Catching the cue, Estrella glanced at Autumn, “Mom, what have you been telling Isaac?”

Autumn, caught off-guard but trying to maintain her composure, insisted, “Nothing at all. I’ve just been teaching him to read.”

Estrella looked up at her mother, skeptical. Why would Isaac be spelling out ‘Daddy’ in
