Isabella slept soundly until late morning, only getting out of bed after the sun had risen high. Andrew had already gone to the office. In the living room on the ground floor, only Amelia was playing games with Asher. After freshening up, Isabella was about to have breakfast when Olivia called. Originally scheduled to start shooting next month, the new movie suddenly got moved up by a month. Olivia had already booked tickets, and they had to rush to the filming location immediately. Isabella was furious but had no choice. This was her job; there wasn't even room for complaints. Hastily packing her luggage, she caught a taxi to the airport. Olivia was already waiting for her at the airport. "Wait here; I'll go get our boarding passes," Olivia said, taking Isabella's, and headed toward the counter. Isabella stood by with her luggage, bored, and passed the time watching YouTube on her phone. She was engrossed in the news when suddenly someone behind her called her name, "Isabella
"Emily, indeed, is quite vain, but in her eyes, I've at least seen love," James continued. Isabella thought to herself: Emily doesn't just obsessed you, she's enamored with any privileged and influential young gentleman. She picked up her milk tea, moistened her throat, and innocently said, "Since Emily admires you so much, would you consider accepting her again?" James' face darkened noticeably, shaking his head, "If a girl's intentions are impure, there's no hope for her." What he resented most about Emily wasn't her cancelling the engagement at his most difficult time, nor her deceit towards him; it was Emily's indifference to someone in dire need. No matter how much he might have loved Emily before, he wouldn't accept a woman with a tainted heart. "I find this kind of status quo quite suitable for now; being busy, I feel fulfilled," James smiled again. The past between him and Emily, she betrayed him, he retaliated, but all those matters were settled. He didn't want to bring
"Isabella, do you remember what I told you? I'll wait for you," Andrew said lightly but earnestly. There was a certain age gap between them, and in Andrew's eyes, Isabella was still just a young girl. Whether she loved him at this moment didn't matter. His love for her was enough. He had the patience to wait; she would eventually fall in love with him. "Isabella, Isabella!" Olivia's voice suddenly came from behind. "We're boarding soon, why are you hiding here?" Isabella turned to see Olivia, quickly ending the call and, in her high heels, hurried to join her. The boarding gate had already begun the queue, and both of them boarded with their boarding passes. Isabella's acting and condition had been top-notch these few days. The character she portrayed had almost no difficulty, and it matched her own personality effortlessly. Additionally, Charles had specifically come to the filming location to inspect and encourage everyone on set in front of the big boss. Isabella didn't have
Mr. Green nodded knowingly, 'I've said it before, you and Zoe aren't suitable. Your mother and aunt are just too insistent, pressing the matter too hard. Now that you have someone you're dating, it's better to clarify things with Zoe sooner rather than later.' 'I know,' Andrew nodded in agreement. 'Zoe happens to be at home today. This matter, the sooner the better.' Mr. Green sighed somewhat helplessly. Andrew stepped out of the study, glanced at the steel watch on his wrist, hesitating whether to talk to Zoe first and then go to the airport to pick up Isabella. Coincidentally, a servant approached Andrew and said, 'Miss Zoe has the tea leaves in her room. She said it's all packed and asked you to pick it up.' 'Okay,' Andrew responded and walked upstairs with long strides. The study was on the first floor, while most of the bedrooms were on the second floor's east side. Zoe's room was at the far end of the east side, one of the most spacious rooms apart from the master bedroom
Andrew sat in Ryan's Porsche 911, the car darting through the smooth road like an arrow. Though Andrew appeared calm, Ryan sensed something was amiss. His breathing was clearly uneven, his palms clenched into fists, and the blue veins on the back of his hands bulged, cold sweat slowly trickling down his forehead. "Feeling unwell?" Ryan asked with concern. "Zoe put something in my tea," Andrew hoarsely replied. "What did she add?" Ryan inquired. "The same medicine you put in my drink last time," Andrew retorted with suppressed coldness. Back then, if it weren't for Ryan drugging his drink, the situation with Isabella wouldn't have occurred. Ryan paused momentarily, then smirked, mocking, "Zoe's ambition is considerable, her audacity even greater." Andrew's handsome face was as dark as thunderclouds, struggling to regulate his breathing. "Alpha, should I take you to the hospital?" Ryan asked. "Would it help to go to the hospital?" Andrew retorted. Ryan steered the wheel with
When she opened my eyes again, it was already early morning the next day. The window was covered by thick curtains, dimming the room with faint light. Isabella lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, her mind momentarily blank. Everything that happened last night seemed like a romantic dream, somewhat unreal and even absurd. She moved her body, feeling as if she had been run over by a car, so sore that she didn't even have the strength to get up. "Awake?" Andrew's low, magnetic voice sounded beside her, as melodious as a cello. Subconsciously, she glanced in the direction of the voice, meeting his magnified profile. Perhaps due to just waking up in the early morning, he looked somewhat lazy. After glancing at him, she turned away. She really didn't want to see him right now. His palm lightly rested on her shoulder, his tone gentle. "Come on, get up and have some food first, then you can sleep again." They had almost exhausted themselves until dawn last night, and she was undoubted
At this moment, Andrew was serving his girl breakfast. The table was filled with various flavors. Women are naturally changeable creatures. Andrew wasn't sure what she'd fancy for breakfast today, and not wanting to upset her over such a trivial matter, he had the secretary prepare various meals. Isabella felt a bit full; she couldn't finish the half-eaten shrimp dumpling. She glanced at Andrew sitting opposite her. He was wearing a neat, slightly cool-toned shirt, and the shirt accentuated his perfect physique. She inexplicably had a mischievous thought and threw the half-eaten bread into his plate. "I can't finish this. Here, have it. Don't waste it." With a childish gesture, Isabella had Andrew somewhat helpless but mostly tolerant. He picked up chopsticks and gracefully put the half piece of bread from the bowl into his mouth. "Hmm, it's not bad." She widened her eyes, somewhat incredulous. He just ate what she left? He seemed to read her mind and faintly chuckled, "We'v
Last night was just an accident, it happened too suddenly, so there was no preparation. In the future, he will take precautions in advance and not let her take such emergency contraceptives again. He heard that taking this kind of medicine too often isn't good for the body. "Who said there will be a next time? Wishful thinking," Isabella said, blushing as she glared at him. Andrew laughed but didn't answer that question. Whether it's the next time or the time after that, it's necessary. He's a normal male wolf, physically and mentally healthy, and of course, it would happen. Besides, she's the mate he loves. "Are you full? Go back to sleep for a while," Andrew said again. "Yeah," Isabella nodded. She was indeed tired and sleepy, obediently returning to the bedroom to continue her sleeplessness. However, Isabella used to sleep in the guest room, but now she directly moved to the master bedroom. She slept straight through until nighttime. When she woke up, it was already dark out
