"What's your plan?" Joshua asked Isabella.Isabella gave it a thought and decided to lie, "I'll put it aside for now. We can discuss it in a couple of days."Joshua simply acknowledged with a nod.Isabella had thought the conversation had ended for the night, but ten minutes later, Joshua unexpectedly chimed in, "It's best to go easy on alcohol from now on.""I don't usually drink much. This is only the second time in a few years that I've had this much," Isabella explained.Her statement was not a complete lie. While she often enjoyed going out with her friends, they mostly stuck to non-alcoholic beverages and light cocktails. If it were not to convince Roderick she was thoroughly drunk, she would not have ordered such strong liquor.Joshua did not seem entirely convinced.Isabella hurriedly defended herself, "I mean it! If you don't believe me, you can ask my mom... She knows."Joshua said, "I'm only saying this because I care about your health. Even if you have a high alcoho

"No need," Isaiah refused once more. He believed that if he could not win the person he liked by his own merit, it meant his feelings for them were not deep enough.Isabella persisted, "Come on, Isaiah, my dear sweet brother. Please...""I'm busy." Isaiah was determined. He had never wanted Luther to become his brother-in-law, and he was not about to help Isabella. "If you really want to, you can ask Mom and Uncle Jimmy or even Auntie Nadia.""I can't let them know," Isabella blurted out. Isabella knew that if Jimmy and Nadia learned about Luther's condition, they would undoubtedly tell Cynthia. Once Cynthia and Matthew learn about Luther's situation, they might oppose their relationship. Even though everyone had the freedom to love, parents often had their own concerns."Can you really bear to see your only sister filled with anxiety? What if I become depressed and can't smile anymore?" Isabella's voice sounded pitiful, and her eyes glistened with tears and complexity.Then,

Isaiah did not say more, and their call swiftly ended.After receiving his assurance, Isabella went to sleep without any worries. She knew Isaiah would fulfill his promise, so she did not dwell on it.The next day, she went to work as usual and reminded Isaiah to keep his word before earnestly delving into her tasks. However, Roderick summoned her to Luther's office soon after taking her seat. Knowing that Luther and Isabella had something to discuss, Roderick escorted her inside and promptly left.Isabella asked, "Mr. Brooks, is there something you'd like to discuss?""Starting tomorrow, you don't need to come to work anymore. The secretary department has decided to downsize, and you're being let go. You'll receive the compensation owed to you under the law," Luther stated coldly.Isabella remained quiet.Seeing that she was not saying anything, Luther asked, "Is there anything else you'd like to know?""Is this because of work-related reasons or personal ones?" Isabella knew t

When Luther heard about the bar, his initial reaction was that Isabella was trying to trick Roderick into giving her information. Then, he asked, "How much did you drink?""I didn't drink at all," Roderick answered with sincerity. He recalled the situation, and his brows creased in concern. "Isabella had quite a bit to drink. She ordered three bottles of that strong liquor."Luther frowned. Roderick began weaving his tale. "She was so upset, Mr. Brooks. She was crying so hard, questioning why you didn't like her. If it weren't for Mr. Neal's arrival, who knows what might have happened.""She… cried?" Luther's heart ached for a moment.Roderick nodded. "Mmhmm."Luther's mind replayed what Tatiana had told him earlier, and his emotions became increasingly complicated."Mr. Brooks, Isabella is truly a wonderful person. You obviously like her, so why aren't you accepting her confession? It's rare to find someone who would love you back," Roderick continued. "Just do your job," L

"No," Roderick confidently bluffed.Luther was surprised, wondering if she rejected the cake."Let me know after she eats it," Luther suddenly spoke, looking worried. "I doubt she's in the mood to eat. She looked fine before I delivered the cake, but as soon as she saw it, her eyes welled up, and she... cried," Roderick began spinning his tale but appearing extremely convincing. "What did you say to her?" Luther probed."I told her just what you instructed, that the cake was a tradition when someone left the secretary department. I didn't say anything else," Roderick replied."Call Uncle Joshua and tell him Isabella doesn't seem to be doing well," Luther ordered, unwilling to let Isabella be too unhappy. He repressed his emotions as he spoke. "Ask him what we should do." Roderick pursed his lips. "Is that really necessary?""It's fine," Luther replied. He knew very well the place Isabella held in Joshua's heart. Even if she were only slightly unhappy, Joshua would go to gre

"Cyn darling, please rest assured, your beloved daughter is doing well over here," Isabella spoke joyfully. Her relationship with Cynthia was as close as that of sisters. "I'll bring my fiance back to meet you soon.""Have you forgotten about your tendency not to fulfill your promises?" Matthew chimed in lazily.Isabella replied, "Mr. Quier, if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all!""I'm just giving you a friendly reminder," Matthew retorted."Give the phone to my dear Cyn," Isabella argued and decided she would rather talk to her mother. She huffed and added, "I'll speak to her.""Your dear Cyn and I have some matters to attend to. We have no time for you. Goodbye," Matthew said, jealous even of his own daughter. Isabella was about to say something, but the line went dead. Then, she immediately messaged Matthew.[Isabella: Aren't you being childish? Was it because Mom forced you to sleep in the guest room while I slept next to Mom for two nights last time?]

Matthew squeezed her hand and asked, "Not angry anymore?"Cynthia replied, "Not angry.""I didn't mean to," Matthew said, opening the message from Isabella. He had quite a knack for stirring up trouble. "Last time, she intentionally tried to steal you away from me. As a dad, I had to take a stand."While he explained this, Cynthia glanced at the message Isabella had sent him. Matthew boldly handed her his phone and revisited their earlier conversation. "Last time, you said I wrongly accused her."Cynthia gently touched her nose and understood that this was all part of the father-daughter 'battle'. She conceded, "She's just a child, and you're her dad. You should indulge her.""I can indulge her in many things, but not in taking my wife away."Cynthia did not hold a grudge against him and shook her head. She could not help feeling a bit guilty when she thought about what had happened when Isabella last visited. She never expected Isabella to play such pranks."Our kids have grown

After a brief contemplation, Isabella asked him, "Is Luther's condition very serious?""You'll find out when you return," Isaiah replied. He was coming from his perspective as an older brother, determined to protect his younger sister from any harm.Isabella felt torn. "Can't you tell me now?""No," Isaiah answered bluntly.Isabella sighed in frustration. "Can't you give me a hint? At least let me know what's going on with him."She hoped to discuss the matter with Luther again before leaving Jiverton."You'll lose the most important thing in your life if you're with him," Isaiah warned.Isabella was taken aback. "Is it that serious?""Yes," Isaiah affirmed. "Are you sure you're not lying to me to manipulate me? Luther is a polite and respectful person; he wouldn't do anything to hurt Mom and Dad. Besides, there's me," Isabella said, doubting Isaiah's words.Isaiah knew she misunderstood. "It has nothing to do with Mom and Dad.""Then what is it?" Isabella pressed."You'll
