Isabelle noticed a blonde woman. Her blond hair was elegantly coiled, and she wore a dignified light–green tweed coat. There was a strangely familiar air about her.
She looked a bit like Caroline.
That’s it.
A possibility formed in her mind, though she wasn’t certain.
Jonathan called her “Mom“.
“So you’re Isabelle?” Camellia moved away from the group and approached, her smile very sincere.
Isabelle was momentarily speechless, unsure how to address her. “Hello.”

Damian gave her a slight nod, telling her to go.
Feeling apprehensive, she let Camellia lead her

“When did you get back?” After Isabelle left, Damian asked Jonathan, who was settling down to roast some sweet potatoes.
Damian sat down beside him. Abigail began leisurely preparing coffee for them.
“The night Finley was arrested. Grandpa flew overseas immediately to bring her back. It went smoothly,” Jonathan said. The “her” he referred to was Caroline–Isabelle’s mother.
Caroline was back. Christian had brought her home.
For years, Christian had believed she was gone. It wasn’t until Jonathan sent them Isabelle’s photo and they followed the leads Damian provided that they found her.
When they located Caroline, she thought her family was still angry with her. Over the years, she’d occasionally returned to the country to secretly visit, but never made contact.

Everyone gathered in the main hall of a villa for dinner around a large round table. As pe took their seats, servants began bringing out the dishes.
Isabelle reappeared, walking arm–in–arm with Caroline.
Damian had saved her a seat.
Isabelle said a few more words to Caroline and Christian, then joined the others at the tab
She sat beside Christian, then lifted her eyes to search for Damian. His gaze was already fix on her.
“Come here,” she mouthed silently, pointing to the empty seat next to her.
A smile touched Damian’s lips. He got up and walked over, settling between Christian and Isabelle.
He greeted them first. “Christian, Caroline. Merry Christmas.”
A rare, pleased smile appeared on Christian’s usually stern face. “Don’t leave too early tonight. Stay for a few drinks. I need to thank you properly.”
He was thanking him for marrying Isabelle–without that, this reunion might never have happened.
“I’d be honored,” Damian replied with a smile.
Caroline beamed, nodding in agreement.
The night was long and perfectly complete.

“Isabelle, sorry for the trouble,” Jonathan said with a slight smile, carefully transferring Damian’s weight to her.
Isabelle held onto Damian and looked at Jonathan. “Can you make it back alright?”
“Just a few steps. I’m fine. Goodnight.”
“Goodnight.”
Once Jonathan left, Isabelle guided Damian inside, closed the door, and helped him to the bed.
He sprawled out on the soft mattress, his 6–foot–3 frame creating a deep impression.
He tugged at his clothes, fumbling with his belt buckle.
“Belie…” Eyes closed, he mumbled her name.
