Jade parked in front of the restaurant and stared at Camila who looked down after yelling at Lily earlier, the little girl wouldn't even look at her.
"Thanks" Camila muttered quietly and he nodded and turned to Lily who was sulking and holding her chocolate package tightly.
"Lily, I'll see you later, okay?" Jade said and she looked out of the window not replying him and he sighed.
Camila unbuckled the seatbelt and grasped Lily backpack opening the car door.
She shut it and Jade waved at her smiling slowly.
She opened the back door and stared at Lily.
"Lily," Camila called giving her hand but Lily pushed the package to her instead, coming out of the car grumpily.
Jade chuckled and Camila shut the door.
He drove off immediately and Camila sighed and stared at Lily.
"Lily come on, I'm sorry" Camila said and Lily twisted her mouth grumpily that Lily was confused, her behavior was absolutely different from hers, she was a lively young girl but at the same time grumpy and gets angry easily.
"sorry?. . ." Lily mused and stormed into the restaurant.
Camila scoffed and followed her in, did she take after her so called Father?, the thought brought bile to her mouth and she shivered slowly.
"Grandma!" Lily yelled as she walked past the customers to the counter and Camila sighed sitting at a corner.
"Yes baby, You are back" Kaila said looking into the menu and suddenly stared at Lily to see the young girl looked angry.
"Oh my God, did something happen? Did someone bully you again?" Kaila asked, dropping the Menu and bending to Lily's height.
"Mommy Did, mommy bullied and yelled at me because I told her my dream about Daddy" Lily said and Kaila heart suddenly went cold.
She looked up slowly to stared at Camila whose head was down and sighed rubbing her shoulder.
"Lily, Mommy didn't mean to, it is just that your Daddy left you, you don't have a Daddy okay?" Kaila said calmly and Lily scoffed.
"are you taking sides with Mommy in a calm way right now? My classmates always bully me about it, telling me that I don't have a Daddy, Nelson's Daddy usually comes to pick him from school, why can't my daddy do that also?" Lily said, striking a stubborn pose and Kaila sighed rubbing her forehead, she complains and talks too much for a 7 year old.
"Lily, . . ."
"I don't believe you, you are just hiding me from my Daddy, I know, I do have a daddy don't lie to me" She snapped and went to sit on a chair crossing her hands on her chest angrily and Kaila stood and went to Camila who felt like crying.
"Where the hell did she get such hot temper from?" Camila muttered and Kaila sat opposite her.
"Obviously from that bastard, gosh, what are you going to do? She is going around calling for her Daddy and so on . . ." Kaila broke off and Camila sighed and rubbed her arms.
"What am I going to do mom? I mean gosh she is so adamant about the bastard" Camila almost cried.
Just then, the glass door opened and Cassiano walked in, holding a backpack on his shoulder.
He had grown up into a handsome young man with a dashing face and body, Well he was in his second year in College.
"Pumpkin" Cassiano called with a large smile immediately he set his eyes on Lily who was sitting alone and she looked up with a frown.
"Cassiano, she is at it again" Camila whispered to him and he stopped, raising his brows, he sighed and dropped his backpack on the table where she was sitting and bent in front of the sulking girl.
"Pumpkin, did mommy get you angry?" Cassiano questioned and she nodded with a pout.
He sighed and held her tiny fingers.
"Would you like to play video games with me?" He asked and her eyes lit up.
"yes Uncle!" she squealed and he laughed and stood carrying her from her seat.
He grabbed his backpack and winked at Camila and Kaila before walking into the office space in the the restaurant.
"How the hell is she so close to Cassiano?" Camila muttered staring at the two as they disappeared and Kaila smiled.
"He has been playing a fatherly role in her life, well is Franca not coming in today?" Kaila asked, trying to change the topic and Camila shrugged.
"I guess she is either at work, or shopping for Lily," Camila scoffed and Kaila stood
"She is lucky to have amazing people around her" Kaila said and held Camila's finger.
"Camila, what if you get to meet with the man who did this to you? What if Lily has to meet him, will you allow it?" Kaila asked and Camila chuckled sadly.
"Mom, It is never going to happen, Lily has to get used to the fact that she doesn't have a Dad" Camila said with so much hatred in her voice and Kaila breathed out shakily.
"Excuse me can I get a glass of water!?" Someone yelled.
"OK coming!" Kaila yelled and stood squeezing Camila's fingers
"Think about it" Kaila whispered before dashing off.
Camila sighed and rubbed her forehead frustratedly.
"Why is talks about the bastard suddenly getting me angry and frustrated lately?, I really need to get a job and stop thinking this way" Camila muttered as she texted Franca.
'Hey, when are you coming over?'
She typed and dropped her phone staring at her busy mom, she stood to go join her immediately.

PORTUGAL
Xandro flexed his muscles repeatedly as he looked into his mirror, he rubbed his wet hair with a towel and he sighed dropping it.
He couldn't believe he was totally a different person from 8 years ago.
Something suddenly came to his mind, that girl, the girl he forced himself on, he wondered how she was living.
"Snap out of it Sandro" he snapped hitting his head with his palm as he heard a knock on the door, he turned immediately.
"Come in" he called and the door opened revealing Craig.
"Hey" Craig called walking in and Sandro sighed and sat on his bed.
"What's up?" Sandro questioned and Craig looked at him.
"Your flight back to Italy is scheduled In two days time" Craig said and Sandro smiled.
"Gosh what a relief, ask my Dad to get a Villa ready for me," Sandro said and Craig nodded.
"Good night then" Craig said with a smile and walked out of the room.
Sandro sighed and took his phone from the bed, the phone started ringing, it was a video call from Chloe.
"That bitchy sister of mine" he cursed with a smile and picked it, he stretched his hand out so she could see his face.
"Hey Bastard!" Chloe called with a smile, waving at him and he scoffed.
"You haven't changed from calling your older brother that you brat" Sandro cursed and laid on the bed.
" I can't believe you'll be in Italy in two days, I missed you so much, I am sure you are changed now" Chloe winked and Sandro clicked his tongue.
"Why is it a bother to you Ma'am, whether I am Changed or not?"
" So you can get married, I'll be getting married soon anyways, look at the ring" Chloe said showing her finger and he chuckled.
"Who is the bastard?" Sandro growled.
"do you want to beat him up? Common I am 29 , you can't do that "
"Wow you are all grown up Chloe," He said smiling and she nodded.
" Well guess what?, I'll be controlling the KING'S COLLEGE, and not only that, I'll be resuming as Professor Chloe next week, gosh it has always been my dream!" he saw her giggle and he shook his head.
"Congrats, " Sandro said and Chloe suddenly frowned.
"I am kidding about getting married soon, I love someone else" she said and he raised his brows.
"Who?"
"You wouldn't want to know. just get married already so I can have someone to call me Aunty soon, bye!" she waved and ended the call and he scoffed.
"That crazy thing, marriage? kids? Is she kidding me right now?" He muttered dropping his phone and stared at the ceiling.
"I hope Italy will be the same" he whispered and slowly closed his eyes.

Franca and Camila held hands as they walked down the street at night, Cassiano had taken Lily home with Kaila.
"She really did say that?" Franca asked and Camila nodded.
"Gosh she is giving me vibes that doesn't seem like me" Camila complained and Franca chuckled.
"That means she takes after that Jerk" Franca said and Camila breathed out.
"Well I don't regret having her after all, the jerk should have just been gentle then I wouldn't have to be traumatized" Camila shrugged and Franca hit her sides.
"Says someone who hated the pregnancy in her, I can't believe you right now" Franca muttered and Camila sighed.
"I have to move out soon Franca, I feel like I am inconveniencing Mom and Cassiano at this age with a child" Camila muttered and Franca stopped walking and stared at her.
"Camila . . ."
"don't try to stop me again, Cassiano is moving soon , he is a man now and needs his privacy, and he needs to be close to the school, don't you think I should do the same? I really need a Job Franca. If not for that bastard, I would have been a college graduate and started working in a big company by now, gosh I resent him for this" Camila voiced as tears clouded her vision and Franca sighed, rubbing the tears from her cheeks.
"Camila, if you keep talking this way, I have no choice but to take the whole blame for what happened to you" Franca said sadly and Camila sniffed and wiped her tears furiously.
"Fine, I'm jealous of you though, you work at a big company and your boss is hot and handsome" Camila muttered and Franca's cheeks reddened.
"Well, Mr Ritego is a nice man though, gosh, I always get nervous every time we are close" Franca shivered and Camila sighed.
"So will you get a job for me?" Camila asked and Franca nodded.
"Anything for you best friend, I'll talk to Mr Ritego" Franca said and Camila nodded hugging her.
"Thanks" she whispered and sniffed and Franca rubbed her back.
"I owe you a lot Camila " she muttered with a sad smile.
