Chapter 72

Rodrigo's POV

After I talked to Isabella about her little friend who had gone off to the station in Louisiana, we made our way back to the living room, hoping to see Jennifer and Marcello catching up and bonding as he requested, met with the presence of Jennifer sipping a glass of wine.

As I reclined back to the dinner table with Isabella sitting next to me, I was drowning in her beautiful eyes for a moment when I realized myself and just looked away.

"Where is Marcello?" I asked and she shook her head. I barely knew what that meant and so Isabella had to say. "He already Left"

That took aback as I remembered how much he pleaded with me so that I could ask her to join us for dinner, how come he left like that without saying anything.

I looked at Jennifer closely, studying the lines on her face. Every crease that she had had something up her sleeve, and as suspected, she really did use mean words at him.

Marcello may be hard as a rock on the outside but little words can get to him.
