Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 1296
When the mature and composed Isaiah saw the scars on Luther's back, he was shocked. The weight of such injuries, something even adults might not endure, left him wondering how this child had managed it all."All done." Isaiah, regaining his composure, finished applying the ointment to the last of the wounds. He returned the ointment to Isabella and said, "Time's up."Isabella smiled brightly. As Luther observed his body, he felt as if the pain he had been experiencing earlier had somehow reduced. He looked at Isabella and calmly declared the result of their game, "I won.""Huh?" Isabella was momentarily puzzled."I won the game," Luther repeated emotionlessly."No, you lost. See, there are still thirty seconds to go until fifteen minutes," Isabella replied, showing him the countdown timer on her watch.Luther was confused. It was the first time he had encountered such a situation. He glanced back and forth between Isiah and Isabella and finally concluded, "You two tricked me?"

"Most importantly, Uncle Joshua can help you. Both Isabella and I can help you too," Isaiah said."No, thank you. I appreciate your kindness," Luther declined. He did not want to engage in a battle of wits with Albert. If he had to fight, he would fight, and once it was over, everything would be done. However, engaging in a battle of wits would subject him to unpredictable variables.Seeing his determination, Isaiah also realized that words would not change his mind."Help me say thank you to your sister," Luther finally said. Isaiah looked at him and did not insist further. "She probably wants to know your name.""You managed to find out about my mom, so there's no reason you shouldn't know my name," Luther replied. He was exceptionally intelligent, but he was simply too cold. "I do know, but unless you say it yourself, she won't accept it. In fact, she might scold me for invading your privacy and disrespecting you." Isaiah was straightforward, not one to beat around the bus

"Doesn't work.""Can you bear to see your cute little sister unhappy?" Isabella shook his arm, looking adorable, and pouted. "If you don't tell me, I'll be sulking all day.""Today is almost over. Being sulky for a while would be fine," Isaiah pointed out.Isabella glared at him. "You're so mean! Hmph!"Isaiah smiled, and his eyes showed a subtle, hardly noticeable trace of affection. While he often appeared mature, he displayed childlike emotions when arguing with Isabella."I won't play with you anymore," Isabella said, shaking his hand away and running to Joshua.The three of them returned home together. Shortly after their return, Isaiah asked Joshua, "How did your conversation go with that uncle?""He'll be quite busy for the next few years," Joshua replied.Children usually deal with surface-level matters, while adults address the root issues."What about the boy?" Isabella expressed concern for Luther. "Who will take him to school and cook for him?""He's been going to

Isaiah exchanged glances with Joshua, who remained composed. In the end, Isaiah yielded."Daddy Joshua, can we go play with Luther tomorrow?" Isabella asked innocently. She was oblivious to the emotional undercurrent between the two. "He's all alone all day, and it must be very boring.""Sure," Joshua agreed to her request, as he often did.Isabella giggled. "You're the best!" Seeing her so happy, Isaiah did not press further. After all, having one more person who loved her was a good thing.Later that night, when it was almost bedtime, Isaiah went to talk to Isabella. She was still quite bothered that he had not immediately told her Luther's name, and she said, "Isaiah, you're a bad brother!""Be mindful of your words," Isaiah advised with a maturity beyond his years."It was your fault. You knew I wanted to know Luther's name, and you wouldn't tell me," Isabella began, pretending to be angry."What about Jojo?" Isaiah inquired."What about him?""Do you remember the promis

Jojo was stunned. He looked at Isabella's adorable face through the screen and cautiously asked, "Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't forget about me?"Jojo's heart felt a little heavy."Jojo, are you upset?" Isabella sensed the change in his mood."If Jojo made friends with other little girls during the holidays and grew closer to them than you, would you be happy?" Isaiah chimed in, understanding that Isabella's behavior might be a bit disheartening for Jojo.Isabella replied, "Of course, I'd be happy."Jojo and Isaiah were taken aback."Our teacher said we should make more friends," Isabella said earnestly. She was not that possessive about most things. "Jojo is a bit introverted, so I'd be happy if he had other friends."Hearing this, Isaiah realized an important point. Both he and Jojo had more possessiveness because of their relatively mature minds compared to kids their age. However, Isabella was different. As long as they shared common interests, she could play with

"Why would I be unhappy?" Isabella asked, looking confused. Isaiah thought of an easier way for Isabella to understand and explained, "Because Jojo played bride and groom with someone else.""Isaiah!" Isabella said with great seriousness.Isaiah was puzzled. Isabella continued, "It's just a game, like when we play hide and seek.""Why did you tell everyone around you that Jojo is the one you want to marry?" Isaiah was somewhat confused about that. If Isabella truly did not care, why announce it to others? Moreover, she appeared serious when she said she wanted to marry Jojo."Isn't that part of the game? Have you never played this game before?" Isabella was surprised that Isaiah could not understand that. Isaiah remained silent. Actually…He had never played this game before. Then, Isabella added, "But Jojo is really handsome. When I grow up and have money, I'll definitely take care of him.""So you're not marrying him anymore?" Isaiah asked again.Isabella replied,

After that, Isabella went to the living room. Isaiah was tempted to call her back despite seeing her determination. However, Isabella was stubborn, insisting on waiting for Luther.Ultimately, Joshua and Isaiah had no choice but to leave, heading outside to wait for her. In the hallway, Joshua glanced at the open living room door, somewhat confused by Isabella's behavior. "Does she like Luther that much?""Her affection for him is probably just a small part of it. More importantly, she wants to bring warmth to Luther and make him feel cared for and loved," Isaiah explained, showing his understanding of his little sister.Despite her young age, Isabella was the family's beloved little ray of sunshine, optimistic and cheerful. She had a unique and magical ability to uplift those around her with her positivity, infectious smile, and boundless joy."However, she might be disappointed this time," Isaiah guessed. Joshua looked at Isaiah, surprised by how mature a child could be. It m

This time, Luther did not chase her away. He knew Isabella would only appear briefly in his long, solitary life, yet he selfishly yearned for this moment to last a little longer.Seeing that Luther did not dismiss her, Isabella began to share the jokes Joshua had told her. Every time she started one, she burst into laughter before she could even finish. Luther could not help but steal a few glances at the giggling Isabella. Her innocent laughter was like a soothing balm to his wounded soul.Isabella was in fits of laughter, tears almost streaming down her cheeks. "Luther, do you think it's funny?"Luther lied with a straight face, "No, it's not funny.""Really?""Mm.""In that case, I'll have Daddy Joshua find some funnier jokes." Isabella was relentlessly optimistic, with no room in her dictionary for pessimism. "Do you like corny jokes or the ones that make you burst into laughter?""I don't like either," Luther rejected.Isabella stood up and came to his side. Then, she sa

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
