"You already know things are complicated between Gabriel, Felicia, Alejandro and Viola."
"The boys understand more than everyone thinks."
"They've already been through enough today."
"If we return now, they'll only be surrounded by arguments, police investigations and family conflict."
She paused briefly.
"I don't want them listening to all of that."
"They deserve one peaceful night."
Silence followed.
She knew he was listening.
"So..."
She smiled warmly.
"Let everything calm down first."
"We'll come back tomorrow."
"And stop making poor Nicolas search the entire country."
"I know you're worrying..."
"...but I'm really okay."
Another brief silence followed before she added playfully,
"Have a lovely night, husband."
Without giving him an opportunity to object, Daniella ended the call.
She smiled triumphantly before placing the receiver back onto its cradle.
Camilla watched the entire exchange with unconcealed amusement.
"You hung up on Santiago Torres Mendoza."
