I'll simply remain silent," Isabella retorted, her voice filled with determination.Layla, the maid who had been entrusted with Isabella's care, responded gently, "No, dear. If you truly desire an answer to that question, you should ask him directly! My role here is solely to attend to your needs and prepare meals for you. That's all." Her words caused Isabella to let out a sigh of resignation."Alright... but please, do tell me... what was your initial reaction when he informed you about my existence?"

Grace spoke up, her voice laced with concern and a hint of desperation. "He chose you. He made you his responsibility. Do you really want him to take your life while you are still in her womb, and let her live her life without you?"Giovanni pondered over Grace's words for a moment before responding with a grim sense of acceptance.

She understood that Giovanni was struggling with his identity and position as the pack leader. "It doesn't matter what others think about you," she said, trying to calm him down.
