Chapter 1411

Author: Little Treasure
Seeing Isabella sitting beside him, looking so docile, Luther guessed she had something to discuss. He put down what he was doing and reached for her hand, squeezing it.

"Why are you here so early today?"

"I have something to discuss with you," Isabella said, sitting on his lap and wrapping her arms around his neck.

Luther would always give in to Isabella. As long as she did not cause him any distress, he almost always complied with Isabella's requests.

"Go ahead, tell me."

"I have two friends coming to Jiverton," Isabella began slowly.

Luther's expression stiffened, a subtle change that Isabella keenly felt.

"Do you want to meet them?" Luther suppressed his discomfort, not wanting to argue with Isabella.

Even if they were only to date for a few months, he hoped her impression of him would be a positive one.

Isabella nodded. "Mmhmm."

"Go then." Luther raised his hand to tousle her hair, showing no signs of unease on the surface. "Let me know when you're done, and I'll pick

    Luther was taken aback.What did she mean by that? "They say the picture I posted on social media was fake, claiming you haven't shown your face and that I intentionally posted a photo just to make them think I'm not single. Don't you plan to prove them otherwise?" Isabella spoke earnestly, a mix of truth and exaggeration.That was something Luther had not anticipated. Typically, after Isabella posted on her social media, her friends should have just felt a bit envious.After all, a fantastic girl like her was dating someone like him..."You refuse to show your face, and you won't use your official account to announce that we're together. Are you keeping other options open, afraid they'll run away once our relationship is public?" Isabella accused him.Luther gently rubbed her head, asking, "What are you even talking about?""Will you help me prove I have a boyfriend?" Isabella redirected the conversation back to its core.Luther pursed his lips. After careful consideration, h

    If the doctor had known Luther's current situation, they would surely have been shocked. Considering what was known about him before, Luther seemed like someone who wanted Isabella all to himself. He did not like to share anything about Isabella with anyone else and could not bear the thought of her being with someone other than himself.However, Luther had changed.The more Isabella loved him, the more he reminded himself not to cause her any harm. Over time, he willingly did the things he used to force himself to do.As they were reaching their destination, Isabella called out, "Luther."Luther's emotions were everywhere as he let his mind run wild about what would happen and the people they were meeting. Calming himself slightly, he asked, "What's wrong?" "When we go in later, you must take the initiative to hold my hand. Don't let go of it except when we're eating," Isabella informed him.Luther stayed silent."Did you hear me?" Isabella prompted."Okay," he agreed."And

    These two rascals were so unreliable! They were supposed to stick to the plan, but it seemed like they changed their mind! "Don't be angry; I'll introduce you to someone good-looking when I find one. You've known each other forever, but you still had to pursue him instead of the other way around. Seems like Luther isn't that into you," Annie said, winking at Isabella."Right?" Annie glanced at Luther as she asked this.Isabella answered on Luther's behalf and explained, "Not true. He has liked me since we were young."Luther stared at Isabella. Annie pushed, "If he liked you then, why didn't he confess? There's no need to lie to us." "She's not lying. I have liked her since we were young," Luther chimed in, delivering his longest sentence since arriving.Isabella was stunned, and even Nick was caught by surprise.Only Annie, trying to make Luther more honest about his feelings, continued to stir things up. "There's no need to defend her. If you really liked her, how co

    Annie asked straightforwardly, "What will you do if someone better pursues Isabella in the future? Will you let her go, or will you hold onto her tightly?""Annie," Isabella reminded again.Annie glanced at her, trying to say, 'He needs to answer this sooner or later.' Isabella looked at her, replying, 'But not today.'If Isabella had known Annie would ask such questions, she would have prepared in advance and not let Luther feel caught off guard. She genuinely worried that Luther might feel pressured by her friend.Watching Isabella's protective stance, Annie felt a bit frustrated. This usually intelligent and witty person seemed to transform entirely when in love."I won't let go, unless she wants to leave me," Luther answered as he tightened his grip on Isabella's hand."And if she wants to leave you, will you let her?" Annie asked again. "I won't want to leave. I just want to be with him," Isabella said, signaling Annie to stop.Seeing her like this, Annie did not pres

    "I understand," Luther replied."I hope your love for her is sincere." Nick glanced at the spot where Isabella had been sitting earlier, continuing, "She may seem carefree, but in reality, she's very delicate. If you lose her due to some reason or someone, she might never recover."Tatiana had said the same thing before, and Luther also realized that Isabella would always appear happy when she met him. Yet, he realized that no one could be happy all the time."As her friend, I hope you treat her well," Nick sincerely said.The previous statement was something Isabella had coached him to say, but that came straight from his heart. Luther nodded in response. He suddenly felt that it was okay for Isabella to continue hanging out with Nick. After all, Nick had no ulterior motives and genuinely cared for Isabella. Hence, Luther harbored no ill will toward him. Luther could not help but wonder if maybe he should restrain himself a bit more and let Isabella return to Nexuria to enjoy

    "His looks?" Annie asked with confusion."Am I that shallow? I'm talking about behavior and mindset," Isabella retorted, and she elaborated on Luther's qualities that resonated with her."Tell me more," Annie encouraged."This goes back to our childhood. He's reserved in character. Even when he does something good for me, he won't say it. He'd rather be misunderstood than explain," Isabella replied as she reminisced about the past. "You fancy this about him?" Annie was puzzled."It's not that I fancy that about him; I just feel he's a very sincere person. I can completely trust him when I'm with him," Isabella spoke from her intuition, her gaze softening.She had encountered quite a few people in her social circle. Some appeared gentlemanly but played around. People like Luther, who maintained their integrity and were genuinely sincere, were rare."Do you even know what sincerity is? How is he sincere when he didn't even confess his feelings despite liking you?" Annie looked at

    Nick and Luther had already drunk several rounds together. Seeing Luther's cheeks were slightly flushed, Isabella advised, "No more.""He has to! Luther needs to practice his drinking. Take it as practice for your wedding day!" Nick said seriously, though with a hint of playfulness.Isabella and Annie were at a loss for words."Otherwise, is he going to drink halfway and pass out?" Nick deliberately teased.Luther lifted his glass and patted Isabella's hand with his other hand. He assured her, "He's right; I should practice."Luther knew that marriage was the most important event in a girl's life, and he could not afford to mess up at that time. Thus, he had to drink."What's there to practice?" Isabella did not care about that at all and argued, "Just switch your wine to water when the time comes.""No, that won't do. Marriage is such an important matter, so how can you do that?"Nick was determined to get Luther drunk. "Right, Luther?""Mmhmm..." Luther agreed in a melodic

    "You're my boyfriend. How could I possibly laugh at you? I just think the current you is kinda cute," Isabella continued driving, He was so cute that she felt like stopping the car to ruffle his hair and kiss him.Luther frowned and blurted out, "I'm not cute."Isabella raised an eyebrow. Luther, now thoroughly intoxicated, revealed his true self completely to Isabella. He pouted, "I'm your boyfriend, your future husband... You can't describe me as cute.""Well, can I praise you for being handsome then?""Mmhmm!"Looking at the childlike Luther, Isabella's heart softened completely. With a gentle smile on her lips, she accelerated, heading home. By the time they arrived, it was already past ten.Isabella placed Luther on the sofa and went to prepare a hangover drink. However, when she brought it over for him to drink, Luther sat there in a daze and shook his head with slightly flushed cheeks. "I don't want to drink that.""You have to drink it. Otherwise, you'll get a head

    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.

    "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
