Isaiah put the vegetables into the pan, and there was a sizzle as the oil splattered around. Unfortunately, a tiny drop of oil splashed onto Isaiah's hand, causing a sudden pang of pain. He instinctively loosened his grip on the bowl, and the bowl ended up falling into the pan with a loud clang.Clang! Lydia hurried over and turned off the stove, showing concern. "Are you okay? Did you burn yourself?" "It's fine," Isaiah replied. The pain had already subsided, but when the tiny bit of oil initially hit his hand, it stung.Lydia examined Isaiah's hand to ensure there were no injuries. After making sure that he was fine, she let Jojo take him and Isabella to wash their hands before eating. She stayed behind to finish frying the vegetables. During dinner, Isaiah seemed distracted. His mind replayed the earlier incident in the kitchen. Despite being only a year older than him, Jojo could prepare several dishes with great presentation and flavor. On the other hand, Isaiah did not kn

As far as Kendrick remembered, the minestrone he had eaten before was simply poured into the pot without frying the vegetables beforehand."You have to fry them!" Isabella got all enthusiastic talking about it. She was a genuine food lover. "Jojo stir fries them before cooking, and it tastes so good!"Kendrick, who had little talent in these matters, did not ask any more questions."You don't need to feel inferior. You're only four years old, and there aren't many kids your age who can cook. Don't worry about it," Kendrick reassured Isaiah.Isaiah slightly furrowed his brow. When did he ever say he felt inferior? He simply wanted to learn to make a dish for Cynthia."However, if you really want to learn, you can ask Grandpa Jonathan and your dad. Grandpa Jonathan has a few signature dishes that your mom likes, and your mom loves anything your dad cooks," Kendrick suggested.Isaiah hesitated. He definitely was not going to ask Matthew."Why didn't I know Daddy can cook?" Isabella

Jonathan was pleasantly surprised to see the delicious-looking dish Isaiah had prepared. Just as Isaiah was about to ask Jonathan to teach him a couple more dishes, Riley showed up.She was dressed in a motorcycle suit, looking incredibly cool. As she entered, she called out, "Isaiah!""Auntie Riley?" Isaiah looked puzzled. It was clear he was curious about why she was here. Riley first greeted Jonathan and then explained to Isaiah, "Emergency! I need your help with a thing." "What is it?" Isaiah asked."Just go charm Uncle Travis a little. Let him know how adorable kids are," Riley said as she settled beside him.Ever since they got married, Travis made sure not to get Riley pregnant. His reasons were simple: he did not want her to suffer, and he did not want her to go through the pain of childbirth. Every time this topic came up, Riley would say that she loved babies, did not mind suffering, and was not afraid of pain. Even so, Travis remained unconvinced."You should ask

Since then, Cynthia had not ridden a motorcycle, and Isaiah had not seen it either. Sometimes, he did not understand why Cynthia listened to Matthew so much, even when Matthew bossed her around like he was disciplining a child.This question lingered in his mind until they arrived at the Lincolns, and Isaiah finally asked Riley about it."Why do you think that?" Riley asked as she helped him remove his helmet."I don't know." Isaiah thought for a long time but could not come up with an answer. He could only guess, "Could it be that Daddy has something about Mommy that he can use against her?""It's not that complicated," Riley said as she held his hand. When she smiled, she looked gorgeous. "You've heard the phrase 'all is fair in love,' right?"Isaiah thought for a moment and nodded. "I've heard it.""Your parents fall into that category. Your mom is willing to let your dad take charge, and she enjoys being under his care," Riley explained.Cynthia had always been an independen

Riley led Isaiah upstairs. Isaiah had no trouble adjusting to the new environment; his adaptability was remarkable.Travis, seeing Isaiah busy with his things inside, pulled Riley toward the door. His voice was husky as he whispered, "You rode the motorcycle again. Did you forget what we talked about last time?""How could I forget?" Riley poked him playfully in the chest with a smile. "I remember everything you say."Travis glanced outside with a look that seemed to say, 'Do you really remember?'"Isaiah hasn't experienced it before, so I rode it to pick him up. I didn't speed," Riley explained.Travis finally decided not to scold Riley. In the past, he had never interfered with her freedom, no matter what she wanted to do. However, since the incident on the mountain racetrack where she had a close call during a race, he considered these activities dangerous.Moreover, it was easy to get into trouble with such activities.Luckily, Riley's riding skills were good, and she had

"What are you doing right now?" As she noticed he was not indoors, Isabella asked, "Are you playing outside with Auntie Riley?"Isaiah glanced at Nick. Blond hair, blue eyes, quite handsome— exactly Isabella's type...Isabella waited for a long time, but Isaiah still did not answer her. She grew impatient and asked, "Isaiah, why aren't you talking?""Auntie Riley and Uncle Travis introduced me to their neighbor," Isaiah replied honestly."Who's this neighbor?" Isabella was incredibly outgoing, a typical social butterfly. "Can I say hello to her?"Isaiah and Riley hesitated.With a hint of a foreign accent, Nick leaned in and asked Isaiah, "Is she your sister?""Mm." Isaiah nodded.Nick walked over and stood next to Isaiah. The two kids were both cute but had different styles. The contrast was so striking that when Isabella saw it, her eyes lit up instantly, and she warmly greeted, "Hello! I'm Isabella Quier." "Hello," Nick introduced himself as well.And that was it. Isaia

Travis could not help but wonder how that was considered adorable. Travis saw through Riley's intentions and warned her, "Don't even think about having kids.""I have reason to suspect you're just making excuses for your impotence." Riley was always skilled at stirring things up.Travis glared at her."I don't mean in that department. I mean your fertility. While you've always claimed it's because you don't want me to suffer, what if those are just excuses to hide your own impotence?" Riley clarified."You'll find my medical reports in the second cabinet by the window in the bedroom." Travis chose to back up his argument with facts.Unimpressed, Riley shot him a look and then went off to play with Isabella.Travis did not intervene either. Seeing them happily playing, he retreated to his home.That was called adorable.Inside, Isaiah was engrossed in a book. Travis had initially intended to go upstairs but stopped, saying to Isaiah, "Isaiah, Isabella, and your Auntie Riley ar

"Mmhmm," Travis responded simply. Then, he informed Isaiah to call him if he needed anything and to make himself home before heading upstairs to attend to his company's affairs.Isaiah was now reassured after learning the real reason behind everything.Riley returned after a while of playing with the kids, realizing that the children's playtime was not something she could immerse herself in for an extended period.Upon her return, Isaiah immediately inquired about Isabella, "Where's Isabella?""She's playing hide and seek with Nick," Riley replied, handing a glass of water to Isaiah. She then asked, "Where's Uncle Travis?""He's upstairs," Isaiah answered promptly."Oh, okay." Riley put down her glass and casually picked up one of Isaiah's books. When she glanced at the content, her eyebrows raised slightly.This kid was amazingly advanced for his age!"Auntie Riley, when Uncle Travis was pursuing you, did you pretend to be weak in front of him?" Isaiah began, wanting to verify

Isabella glared at Nick. He actually betrayed her! Caught off guard by Luther's honesty, Nick quickly explained, "Don't look at me like that. Luther forced me to do it. If I didn't agree to his request, he would've spilled my past to my current girlfriend.""Current girlfriend?" Isabella looked puzzled.Nick confessed honestly, "My new girlfriend."Isabella was at a loss for words. Nick was very handsome. His looks could rival top celebrities. Naturally, with his face and charisma, he had no shortage of admirers. That led to a habit of frequently changing girlfriends."I made my rules clear to her. No shady behavior allowed," Nick added quickly, sensing what Isabella was thinking.Hearing this, Isabella did not say much.A moment later, Luther, seeing that their conversation had wrapped up, took Isabella's hand and left. On the way back, he deliberately brought up the topic of proposals."What kind of proposal do you like?" Luther asked."Anything works," Isabella replied
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 1501
There was a time when Isabella considered letting Luther propose to her. However, he had not shown any signs that he would or asked for her ring size. There was no need to overthink it; that fool probably had not even thought about it. Nonetheless, Isabella did not blame Luther. After all, she was well aware that everyone expressed love differently. Yet, that was also precisely why she wanted to propose to him, to make him understand just how much she cared."What's wrong?" Annie asked, concerned."I'm just worried," Isabella replied. The ring sizes had been a constant worry for her."Because of what you just mentioned?"Isabella nodded. "Yeah.""Why do you want to propose to him?" Annie looked toward a dark corner. "In most relationships, the boyfriend proposes to the girlfriend, right?""I want him to feel loved," Isabella answered simply.Luther was different from most people; he always suppressed his negative emotions and limited his freedom. He no longer wanted to restr

"No," Luther declined; he still wanted to be the one proposing to her."Okay," Joshua agreed readily.Luther nodded, letting his mind wander. In the following days, Isabella kept checking on the progress, each time being informed that there was no opportunity to measure Luther's finger.In the blink of an eye, three days passed.Cynthia and Matthew had a conversation with Isaiah.Due to prior preparation, Isaiah handled Cynthia and Matthew's questions smoothly. Although they knew Isaiah had not been entirely truthful, based on his attitude toward Sandra, they agreed to the marriage without excessive probing into his relationship with her.As for Isabella, she waited for a few days but had not received any news. Frustrated, she decided to go to Jiverton herself to find Luther.When Joshua heard about her plan, he asked her to give him a bit more time. He assured her he would have the sizes by next Friday at the latest."Really?" Isabella was worried about running out of time.
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 1499
"Okay." Isaiah already had a plan in mind.After discussing the matter, the two did not say much more. In the following two days, Cynthia and Matthew stayed home while Isabella prepared the details and processes for the proposal.However, after going through the general plan, Isabella suddenly realized a problem. She did not know Luther's ring size. How could she prepare a ring for the proposal without knowing the size?Realizing this issue, she immediately thought of flying to Jiverton to find out but hesitated due to Luther's caution. If she returned so soon after just coming back, he would surely be suspicious. After much contemplation, she came up with a solution—Joshua.When Isabella called, Joshua happened to be having a meal with Luther."I'm not busy, what's up?""I need your help with something," Isabella said, trusting Joshua's abilities, "but Luther can't know about it."Joshua instinctively glanced at Luther.Luther was confused. He glanced at Joshua's phone and

"Quit the act," Matthew said to Isabella, "It's too bad."Isabella stayed quiet. Matthew bluntly stated, "Isaiah currently oversees the company, and the annual revenue has been consistently increasing under his management. He even took a few subsidiaries public.""And?" Isabella inquired."He has a talent for this," Matthew hinted, leaving Isabella puzzled as she struggled to keep up with Matthew's pace."He's barely in his twenties, so there's no rush to get married," Matthew explained. He saw through everything, understanding Isaiah well, adding, "If there were truly such a concern, he could easily establish a company under Sandra's name in the next few years, operate it until it goes public."With Isaiah's abilities and connections, starting a company and taking it public would be a simple task. After the IPO and proper management, Sandra's value would naturally rise. This would effortlessly 'shut their mouths'. Isabella wanted to say something, realizing her dad's words

"That depends on the secret he's keeping," Matthew responded immediately, taking the opportunity to tease Isaiah, "If it's something against our moral values, it'd be hard not to form an opinion, even if we try not to.""He's not that kind of person," Isabella defended Isaiah.Matthew did not respond but just sat there. Their father-son dynamic involved banter and teasing, but when it came down to it, they genuinely cared about each other."He's just worried that you might object to Sandra's background," Isabella continued to spin her tale convincingly.Cynthia and Matthew were confused, both staring at Isabella.Isabella felt a bit uneasy. Something seemed off with her parents' expressions. "What's wrong?""Are you sure Isaiah is worried about this?" Cynthia asked.Why was their beloved daughter so bad at lying? Not catching on, Isabella nodded, "Absolutely.""Setting aside the fact that we've always taught you not to treat people differently based on their family background

"Ah, I see." Isabella breathed a sigh of relief and purposely asked, "Is it possible that Isaiah got to know Sandra through Uncle Yves and Uncle Sean?""It's unlikely," Cynthia denied. Even though they had not arranged any blind dates or rushed Isaiah into marriage, given his personality, he would not seek an introduction from anyone."Whenever you have time, ask Isaiah to bring his girlfriend home," Cynthia said, truly wishing for her children to find happiness. Isabella agreed, "Sure.""Isabella," Cynthia suddenly spoke up.Putting away her plan book, Isabella responded, "Hmm?""Do you think I look stern?" Cynthia sounded gentler than usual, lacking the usual nonchalance.Having been accustomed to being herself, Cynthia found it a bit awkward to take on the role of an elder suddenly. If she left a bad impression on Sandra during their first meeting, it could easily jeopardize Isaiah's relationship."Not at all," Isabella spoke sincerely, looking at Cynthia affectionately. "Y

Isaiah had seen through their plans. He knew that his parents' friends enjoyed watching him banter with Matthew. Every time something was like this, they would eagerly make things difficult for him.Early the next morning, Mitchell and the others began implementing the plan. Initially, Matthew did not suspect anything and thought they genuinely had urgent matters to attend to and brought Cynthia back home first.Considering Luther's upcoming proposal, they decided not to travel the world but instead explored nearby cities. After Mitchell and the others called Matthew aside, Isabella approached Cynthia. Cynthia was surprised to learn about Isabella and Isaiah's plan."Aren't you afraid of getting in trouble?" Cynthia asked."Not at all," Isabella responded very directly, her mind focused on planning her and Luther's engagement. "Isaiah said he can handle this matter, so let's discuss the proposal first. I've thought about several options, but none seem good enough.""Okay," Cynth

Isaiah was surprised."Take her to shoot wedding photos first," Isabella suggested seriously. After giving it some thought, Isaiah said, "I'll ask her during dinner.""Why bother asking?" Isabella thought Isaiah's emotional intelligence was lacking, and Sandra's expectations were too low. "Just pick a few reputable studios and let her choose one she likes."During their conversation, Isabella noticed that Sandra was slightly anticipating a wedding, although she had refused for some unknown reason. If she was not truly opposed to weddings, there should not be an issue with pre-wedding photos."If you give it directly to her, she'll probably say she doesn't need it," Isabella coined. She could see through people and was quite clever.Isaiah clearly did not consider this possibility."Take a look at these studios. My friends suggested them," Isabella had already made the selections and recommended them to him. "Weren't you against my decision before?" Isaiah, not understanding h
