All Chapters of Hooked by His Love: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Theodore raised an eyebrow. "Hmm?"Isobel said, "I could do with one. Thanks."She needed a cigarette to calm down—she was trembling uncontrollably.Theodore fell silent and watched her with interest before turning to get her a cigarette from his car. He asked, "Aren't you going to call Mr. Goode an ambulance?"She faltered. Then, she took a drag of the cigarette to compose herself before pulling out her phone and calling an ambulance.Theodore left before the ambulance arrived. Before that, he left a check for 50 thousand dollars, saying it was compensation for what had happened.After calming down, Isobel didn't think he would've been that blind. The parking lot was huge, yet he just had to ram into Ethan's car. Could there really be such coincidences in the world?Then again, it did seem like it had happened purely by chance, judging from how nonchalant Theodore had been. She decided not to obsess over the matter since she couldn't understand it.Isobel ultimately decided to

It was a message from Remy. He'd organized a gathering that night, and Theodore would also be there. When he asked whether Isobel wanted to join, she immediately said, "Of course."One thing about Isobel—she was resilient and didn't give up easily. As long as Theodore didn't explicitly say he wasn't going to work with her, she wouldn't cave.Remy sent her an address. She checked it before darting to the bathroom to freshen up. Then, she put on makeup and left the room.As she headed downstairs with her proposal and a contract, she saw Anna and Heather whispering to each other on the couch."What am I going to do if Ethan insists on getting engaged to Isobel, Mom?"Anna scoffed. "What's there to be afraid of with me around? You're—""I would advise you to hide in a dark corner when you want to scheme to steal someone else's belongings, ladies. Look at how I've overheard you now. Awkward, isn't it?" Isobel interrupted.She continued down the steps with a smile and watched with sat

It took a while for Theodore to open the door. He wasn't surprised to see Isobel at all. In fact, he seemed sure that she would come.He'd already showered and was in nothing but a white bathrobe. It crossed over at the front, and the belt was only loosely tied around his waist. So, Isobel easily caught sight of his toned chest peeking out from underneath the bathrobe.Theodore was tall and usually in a sharp suit that made him look elegant and refined. However, he was the type who had muscles hidden underneath his clothes. Perhaps it was because he exercised regularly—he had a toned chest and washboard abs. His body was the type that would make even dogs drool.He looked at Isobel, wholly unsurprised. "Thought things through already?"She pursed her lips and held out the contract. "I have one request, too. The money has to be in my account by today. Also, I'll only spend a month with you, and this matter has to be kept secret."Theodore didn't answer. Instead, he smirked and wrap

Liam wasn't oblivious—Theodore was clearly interested in Isobel.He ran his tongue over his molars, feeling a bit regretful. Despite that, he couldn't help sneaking a glance at her.She was truly captivating. No wonder Theodore decided to make a move.Since Theodore had spoken, Isobel couldn't refuse. She had no choice but to sit beside him.As soon as she did, she caught a whiff of the distinctive woody scent on him. This unsettled her somewhat; it felt like she had stepped onto a pirate ship.After a few rounds of cards, Theodore seemed to have grown tired. He tossed his hand of cards onto the table and said casually, "You play."Isobel snapped out of her thoughts. She raised an eyebrow at him. "Are you sure?"She had never been particularly interested in card games and wasn't very skilled. However, she was smart. After watching a few rounds, she had already figured out the rules.Theodore let out a small scoff, his sharp eyes sweeping over her. "If you win, it's yours. If yo

It was no easy feat to accept that one's lover was a scumbag.Stepping out of the hospital, Isobel leaned against her parked car and lit a cigarette. The bitter fumes filled her lungs, somewhat dulling the bitterness in her heart.Isobel was stunning, to begin with. Standing in the evening breeze now, hair fluttering and cigarette in hand, she looked even more striking. Even in the dim night, her figure was an eye-catching existence.And that was the sight that welcomed Heather when she came downstairs.A flicker of jealousy flashed through her eyes, but she quickly replaced it with a bright smile as she approached. "Bell! Were you waiting for me?"Isobel glanced at her but said nothing. She stubbed out her cigarette.Heather didn't seem to mind. She continued, "You didn't have to. Dad bought me a new car today! You haven't seen it yet, have you? Come take a look—tell me if you think it's nice!"She pointed excitedly at a brand-new Mercedes parked not far away.Heather had alwa
