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.

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.

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.

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
