The baby was 3 months old, when Deziree woke up to something messing with her peace. she could not figure out what it was.
"Armand, look at our child. What does it mean? tell me." said DezIree
"It means...that the child is not white; it means that you are not white." said Armand
"It is a lie; it is not true, I am white.", said Deziree, "Look at my hand; whiter than yours, Armand."
After Deziree and the baby left, Armand reads the letter from his mother that was sent to his father while going through old letters.
He is shocked to find out that his baby is not white, because he is not white. He immediately feels disgusted of himself, and the way he treated Deziree.
