The area of this villa is quite spacious, built by the seaside, with an estimated total area of at least a thousand square meters. Last night, when they arrived, it was already dark, and they were both in a bad mood, so tangled up that she hadn't had a chance to take a good look at the villa. Isabella only now had the mood to appreciate this house. She stood on the solid wood staircase, her curious eyes looking around. The design of this villa was somewhat avant-garde, and she vaguely felt like she was in a medieval castle. However, the interior decoration of the villa was not heavy, and it couldn't even be called luxurious extravagance. But having grown up amidst luxury, she still had an eye for quality. Whether it was the decoration or the furniture in the villa, none of it was cheap. Even the paintings on the walls and various porcelain decorations in the living room, she had vaguely seen them in some auction catalogs. She didn't understand antiques, so she couldn't really t
"It belongs to Ryan. Originally intended as a gift for his girlfriend, but they broke up right after it arrived by sea shipment," Andrew explained. "I feel uneasy accepting such a valuable gift," Isabella hesitated. "He ordered the car, but I paid for it. You don't need to worry about it," Andrew chuckled. "Then I'll accept it," Isabella smiled like a little fox. She wasn't particularly enthusiastic about the car, but occasionally having something new wasn't bad either. As the car pulled up in front of the recording studio, Andrew's phone began to ring. He picked it up to answer, hearing his assistant Nathan on the other end. "Boss, the meeting has been delayed by half an hour. Should we reschedule? Also, there's a new acquisition project waiting for your handling when you're back..." Seeing him engrossed in work, Isabella unfastened her seatbelt intending to quietly get out of the car, but he caught her arm. He continued talking on the phone, not releasing her wrist. Five min
The two were deeply engrossed in their passionate kiss when an abrupt cellphone ring shattered the room's romance. Andrew, reluctantly releasing her, tugged at the corner of his lips, grazing over the wound, causing a slight wince. "Hand me the phone." Isabella, obediently submissive at the moment, walked to the door and retrieved the phone from the suit pocket hanging on the coat rack. Andrew answered the call, hearing Joshua's cold, deep voice on the other end. Brandon is seriously injured. After leaving the police station, he rushed back to Schenectady town and was admitted to the military hospital. The heirs of the two major families fighting over a woman, the news has spread like wildfire. Joshua, upon learning about it, was not pleased. After ending the call, Andrew looked helplessly at Isabella. "I need to go to Schenectady town. I'll be back in at least a week. You take care of yourself," he said, grabbing his coat and getting up. "Schenectady town? Now?" Isabella was
"Mom." Andrew greeted Mrs. Hannah politely and indifferently, his stern gaze briefly sweeping over the others. He calmly asked, "Are there guests at home?" At this moment, Mrs. Ada was probably too excited and even forgot to introduce herself. In her eyes, Andrew was an untouchable figure. Charlotte still dared to think she could become Andrew Turner's mother-in-law. Mrs. Ada hadn't even dared to consider that. "Uncle's always busy, isn't he back for a reason?" Henry spoke, with his usual mocking tone. "He indeed has more to do than you," Andrew's calm voice was sharp in words. Clearly, Henry didn't get a good response and sensibly closed his mouth. Mrs. Hannah couldn't help but furrow her brow, asking, "Any reason for coming back?" As she spoke, she subconsciously glanced at Isabella. Mrs. Hannah, having lived to this age, had become very shrewd. She didn't believe Andrew just happened to be back. Andrew hadn't been home for a few months, but the moment Isabella came home, he
The villa usually stands empty. The French windows in the living room were half-open, letting the afternoon sunlight stream in, casting a warm glow. It illuminated Andrew's chiseled features vividly, while Isabella, chin slightly raised, stared at him, inexplicably thinking of the phrase 'captivating charm.' At that moment, their bodies were tightly pressed together. He lowered his head slightly, the distance between his thin lips and hers less than a centimeter. "Missed me?" He asked gently. "Nope." Isabella blushed, her words contradicting her feelings. He narrowed his blue eyes, gazing deeply at her for a moment before another passionate kiss ensued. Isabella's hands clutched his shirt as he kissed her, leaving her dizzy. Unbeknownst to her, she was effortlessly swept into the spacious and soft leather couch in the living room. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. Although Andrew had only fucked her once, his dominating presence was torturous. Afterward, she lay wit
On the weekend, Isabella arranged to go with Andrew to see her new movie. She emerged in casual attire, while he was already dressed neatly. Unusually, he wasn't wearing a suit, but instead, dark jeans and a smoky gray, long trench coat, lacking the usual solemnity of his formal attire, looking more like a 25-26-year-old young man. She was casually dressed, wearing a skirt and a pink coat over it, with a black mask covering her face. Her long hair cascaded freely. "Let's go," she said, taking his hand as they headed out. Andrew drove, and they arrived at the cinema at 9:30 PM, perfectly on time. Ticket exchange, buying snacks and drinks, were all handled by Andrew alone. Isabella stayed close behind him. After nine o'clock, there were few people watching the movie. In the spacious theater, only a few individuals were scattered around. Isabella booked a couple's seat, so she and Andrew sat together alone. There was only one couple seated in the back row, and almost no one else i
A month later, Isabella, Andrew, and Asher went on a trip together.They set off in the morning and arrived at the town of Rochester by noon. Isabella found a distinctive guesthouse for their stay.The guesthouse had a retro decoration, resembling the medieval houses seen in movies, with carved window frames. When the windows were opened, a vast expanse of lake and woods could be seen not far away.The room wasn't particularly large compared to those in five-star hotels. However, it was clean. Even so, Isabella still changed the sheets and blankets to new ones because of Andrew's cleanliness habits.After changing the bedding, she threw her luggage into the corner and started booking tickets on her phone.Andrew smiled helplessly. Such occurrences didn't seem surprising; Isabella's self-sufficiency wasn't much better than Asher's.He opened the luggage and hung clothes in the wardrobe, placed toiletries in the bathroom, and by the time he finished, Isabella had completed her booking.
When Isabella doesn't have to work, she has a habit of sleeping in. Early in the morning, Amelia took Asher to the amusement park to play, not disturbing Isabella's sleep. Isabella slept straight through to noon; when she opened her eyes, it was already eleven o'clock. Sitting up in bed, she stretched her arms widely, then got out of bed barefoot and walked into the bathroom to freshen up. Standing in front of the washstand, brushing her teeth, she thought about what to do in the afternoon. She didn't know what Oliver had been up to lately but thought she could ask her to go shopping together. Lost in thought, Isabella didn't hear the footsteps outside the bathroom until the door was pushed open, revealing Andrew's tall figure. He leaned casually against the door, with a hint of laziness in his posture and a playful smile in his eyes as he gazed at her. Isabella blinked her bright eyes, still holding the toothbrush in her mouth with toothpaste foam flavored with mint. "You...
