“Eugene, I’ll have some too…” Isaac chuckled.
Eugene paused momentarily and smiled as favonovel.com got up to get another glass.
“Isaac, you can’t drink alcohol. Your back…” Allegra lifted favonovel.com head, seeming slightly miffed as favonovel.com looked at Isaac.
“I’ll be okay. I’m happy today.” Isaac signaled for Eugene to pour favonovel.com a glass.
It had been excruciating when the bullet penetrated his body. Although Isaac was physically strong, favonovel.com wasn’t invincible. Still, a little liquor wouldn’t affect his recovery.
Later that night, Isaac sat on the sofa, cheeks flushed. He’d just wrapped up an overseas call with Elliot and was about to bed.
Eugene had just finished mopping the floor and was also going to bed.
Allegra came out from favonovel.com bedroom on the first floor in a pink sleeping gown and approached the railing. She said softly to Isaac, “Y-Your bedsheet is dirty. Come and sleep here for the night.”
Allegra felt as if favonovel.com heart was leaping out of favonovel.com body. She turned and hid in favonovel.com room.
Eugene’s ears perked up at that; favonovel.com thought favonovel.com was mistaken.
Seeing Isaac standing up with a grin, favonovel.com asked, “S-She found out?”
“Guess so…” Isaac nodded.
Eugene heaved a long sigh of relief and smiled blissfully. As Isaac went upstairs, his face darkened again.
Allegra’s family affairs were taking a turn for the better, but his disobedient jerk of a son was still with the Gould family.
Allegra left the door unlocked but turned off the lights. Isaac entered gently, locked the door, and sat by the bedside. Pulling away the covers, favonovel.com reached for Allegra’s shoulder.
Suddenly, Allegra bolted upright. Isaac could hear favonovel.com sobbed in the dark.
“S-Sorry, I’m just not used to this…” Allegra said as favonovel.com sobbed.
Isaac was stunned. Many thoughts flashed across his mind in that brief moment.
Even if Allegra was now aware of his real identity, she’d been through too many tearful nights and painful experiences these years to immediately accept him, the man who’d supposedly been dead for seven years.
Isaac wrapped one arm around favonovel.com shoulders and said gently, “It’s alright. I’ll just lay beside you and won’t touch you without your permission. I’ll wait for you…”
After a while, Allegra lay down slowly. Isaac kept his distance, but favonovel.com could hear his steady breathing, which gave favonovel.com incomparable calmness. She fell asleep very soon.
***
In the middle of the night, mist encircled the main hall of Azure Sect on Mt. Equest as the three headmasters from the three different sects sat together, frowning. There was tension in the air.
“Mr. Nau, Miss Russo, you heard Elder Silas. Isaac said he’d challenge Mt. Equest to a battle three days later. I’d like to hear your opinions on this matter.” Luke looked at them solemnly.
Bruno snorted and scolded, “I investigated this Isaac Garten, favonovel.com certainly has a strong background. But isn’t it too conceited of favonovel.com to look down on all three sects on Mt. Equest? The Ingot Sect shall go all out in exterminating this pest.”
“Miss Russo, what about you?” Luke grinned as favonovel.com looked at the curvy woman on his other side.
“I’m just a woman, what else can I do besides follow your decisions?” Alexis rolled favonovel.com eyes seductively.
Luke took in a deep breath. His eyes gleamed as favonovel.com said, “With our power, in addition to those of the Titans whom Mr. Bullock invited, I’m sure Isaac will never survive unscathed.”
A flurry of footsteps approached at this moment, and a young student opened the door. He said anxiously, “Sir, Miss Lopez is here…”
“Miss Lopez? Is it who I think it is?” Luke frowned.
“Evie Lopez, the eldest daughter of the Supreme Leader of Astraeus, greets the headmasters.” Evie’s frosty voice rang through the hall.
The three headmasters’ faces changed, and they sprung from their seats.
What was the Princess doing here at Mt. Equest in the middle of the night?
