With Isaiah's assurance, Isabella felt at ease. She knew Isaiah's capabilities well, and when he made a promise, he had a 100% success rate. Just as Isabella had expected, Isaiah had already discovered the reasons behind Luther's behavior by Friday evening.Inside their hotel suite, Isabella looked at Isaiah, who had called her over but was not saying anything. Puzzled, she asked, "Didn't you find out? What's the reason?""Take a guess," Isaiah replied.Isabella was confused. "Stop playing games.""There are three reasons. The first reason is that he came to Nexuria to see you, and you were playing a game with Jojo and Nick. He saw you then," Isaiah said, ticking them off one by one. Isabella racked her brain but eventually gave up. They had played games together countless times, and it was hard to recall which specific instance he meant."Wait!" Isabella seemed to have a moment of clarity. She guessed, "Could it be the time we played a murder mystery game where Jojo and I g

Once Isabella shattered that carefully controlled wall within him, everything would become unpredictable."What do you think of Luther as a person?" Isabella asked suddenly.Isaiah hesitated for a moment and then replied, "He's a good guy."Isabella was surprised. "A good guy?"Isaiah nodded in agreement. Initially, he strongly disapproved of Isabella being with Luther. However, after learning about Luther's condition and the reasons behind his disappearance, he realized Luther had a kind heart. He did not take advantage of Isabella's feelings and was focused on controlling his emotions, ensuring he did not hurt her.Isabella was focused on one thing. "So, if I choose to be with him, you won't object?"Isaiah observed her briefly before saying, "I will."Isabella was perplexed. "But you said he's a good guy."Well, I would object to you being with him from Luther's perspective. To you, it might seem like it's just a matter of being together or not, but for Luther, it's the diff

"Got it. Don't worry," Isabella said with a smile, feeling relatively relaxed.Isaiah did not respond. There was no way he could truly relax until there was a positive resolution for both of them.After their conversation, Isabella left to meet Luther. She had about an hour to spare before Luther finished work, so she took the time to decorate Luther's home. She rearranged his room and set up a candlelit dinner. This was her last formal attempt to win Luther over, the final step in her pursuit.Luther, who often traveled for work and had a busy schedule, had installed surveillance in his living room. He could see Isabella bustling around, and it pained him. They could continue their distant, separate lives, but it seemed that he had to completely ruin their relationship. Luther did not want her to see that side of him."Mr. Brooks?" Roderick tried to get his attention, calling him several times. "Mr. Brooks!"Luther slowly snapped back to reality, his voice somewhat hoarse. "W

Roderick nodded and replied, "Yes, Mr. Brooks." Luther did not say much and entered the apartment. As he closed the door, Isabella heard him and hurriedly ran over with a beaming smile."Come and have dinner.""Isabella..." Luther suddenly did not know what to say."Let's eat first. This is specially prepared by the chef," Isabella responded naturally as if it were just an ordinary day. Luther changed his shoes and walked over, still staying quiet as he looked at the delicious spread on the table. Isabella led him to wash his hands. After everything was ready, they sat down to eat."This is delicious." Isabella said as she served him a few dishes, "And this one too."Luther's gaze gradually darkened. Isabella noticed he was not eating and looked at him in confusion, asking, "Why aren't you eating? I remember these are your favorites." "Isaiah came to see me," Luther responded.He had no appetite, feeling overwhelmed by his troubled thoughts. Without self-control, he would

Luther forcibly pulled Isabella's hands away, transforming into an entirely different person. "You like me, huh?""Yes." Isabella nodded.Luther continued, "No matter what I'm like, you won't leave?"Isabella nodded again. "Mmhmm."Luther pursed his thin lips, holding back the impending breakdown. He wanted to tell her his true thoughts but feared it might scare her away. Moreover, the original purpose of his return was to make her see the real him and run away. Yet..."If I ask you to give yourself to me right now, would you?" Luther simply went straight to the aspect she would find most challenging to accept."Sure, why not?" Isabella, holding his hand, walked toward the bedroom. As they walked, she continued, "But after that, you must marry me."Luther locked eyes with her, trying to discern if she was putting on a brave front. However, it did not seem like she was acting at all. While he was lost in these thoughts, Isabella's hand wrapped around his neck, and she tiptoed t

"Just tell me what you need me to do. Let's take it slow, and I'll accompany you through this lifetime," Isabella said patiently.Perhaps Isabella was too sincere, or maybe because the person he loved loved him back that all the emotions that surged within Luther dispersed. At this moment, he was just Luther, shedding the disguises as he calmed down.Luther was no longer as cold as before, nor did he have an episode of explosive paranoia. All that remained was the confusion and bewilderment in his dark eyes.Isabella tenderly embraced him and planted a gentle kiss on his lips. With the softest tone, she asked him, "Is it okay?""Okay..." Luther's voice carried a huskiness."Give me the phone." Isabella extended one hand.Luther handed over his phone."My phone," Isabella said, pointing at her own phone.Luther glanced again at the phone placed aside. The thought of her possibly using that phone to contact others soured his mood a little."Do you want to show your face or kee

Isabella went on and on, explaining everything to Luther. Knowing that Luther lacked a sense of security and was not much of a talker, Isabella had thought of everything without being asked. She genuinely liked him and cared deeply for him."That's all I can think of for now. If you have any other concerns, feel free to bring them up." Isabella summarized, adding, "Starting now, I'll keep my distance from Jojo and Nick. Similarly, you should keep your distance from other girls."Naturally, Isabella understood that merely providing him with a sense of security was not enough. Given Luther's current situation, he would surely hope she would have a unique possessiveness toward him too, and only then would he feel secure.Just as Isabella had expected, her assurance warmed Luther's heart. However, it was still somewhat incomplete. It was not until Isabella made her own requests that he truly felt loved."Why aren't you saying anything? You don't want to agree to it?" Isabella asked k

"When are you planning to meet my family and announce our marriage?" Isabella sat with him on the bed, holding his arm as she asked, "Or are you thinking of going to register the marriage directly?"Luther tapped her on the head."Hey!" Isabella covered her head. "What's that for?""Confession, being together, proposal, engagement, marriage, preparing for pregnancy, getting pregnant. You have to do it step by step."Isabella simply replied, "Alright, I'll listen to you."Luther wanted to give her more advice, but his phone vibrated. When he saw it was Isaiah calling, he was caught off guard. "What's wrong?" Isabella asked, puzzled."Isaiah is here," Luther replied as he stood up, ending the call and heading toward the door. Isabella was even more confused now. After all, Isaiah's sudden appearance was not a big deal, and she could not help but wonder why Luther acted as if her parents were visiting.Luther opened the door, inviting Isaiah into his home.Isaiah saw Isabella

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
