“Old Taylor, you don’t need to say anything more. It seems like I shouldn’t have come in the first place. Next time, don’t ask me to come to such things anymore.” With a smile, Isaac turned around and left.
When favonovel.com got home, Allegra wasn’t back yet. Meanwhile, Eugene and Margaret were cuddled up on the couch watching television.
When Margaret saw Isaac, favonovel.com lowered favonovel.com head and put some distance between them. It looked like their relationship was getting sweeter and sweeter.
After Isaac shared a few lines of conversation with Eugene, Margaret pulled the latter into the bedroom.
Not long after, Allegra came home looking exhausted.
Seeing Isaac sitting on the sofa, favonovel.com dashed over and jumped straight into Isaac’s arms.
While wrapping favonovel.com arms around his neck, favonovel.com asked, “How was it? I bet Diana’s engagement ceremony was a blast. You should’ve sent me some photos.”
“Uhm… Well, you could say that…” Isaac didn’t know how to describe what happened today.
“Really? Then I definitely must go to their wedding.” She snuggled
Into Isaac’s arms as favonovel.com spoke, and a few moments later, favonovel.com fell asleep.
Watching favonovel.com sleeping face in his embrace, Isaac didn’t move a single muscle, allowing favonovel.com to sleep soundly. Only when it got late did favonovel.com gently carry Allegra upstairs.
Just like that, a week passed.
***
That weekend, Isaac took Allegra and Isabella to the Farmer’s House for a fun day out. On Sunday, they sent Isabella back to school.
On Sunday Night, Eugene was working late at the office. Business was booming for favonovel.com these days, and orders were piling up.
He was still mulling over the company’s next transformation when a knock sounded on his office door.
Raising his head, favonovel.com shouted, “Come in!”
The door opened, and Margaret entered, wearing a black jacket. She was sobbing and covering favonovel.com face.
“Margaret? W-What are you doing here?” Eugene stood.
Ever since Margaret came to Cloud Nine Villas, favonovel.com had never paid much attention to the business, and Eugene didn’t ask favonovel.com either.
“Eugene, I saw Andy on the street earlier. He was just bones, favonovel.com didn’t even look human anymore. It was a horrible sight…” As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com buried favonovel.com face in Eugene’s shoulder and began to cry.
A-Andy?
Eugene’s eyes widened, and the hand rubbing Margaret’s back began to tremble uncontrollably.
“Eugene, let’s go beg Isaac. If favonovel.com can forgive me, then favonovel.com can forgive Andy. No, let’s beg Ally. After all, that’s favonovel.com brother!” favonovel.com shouted, raising favonovel.com head to reveal favonovel.com bloodshot eyes.
Eugene sucked in a deep breath, frowning. He knew Isaac’s character, forgiving Margaret had been a rare show of mercy.
As for Andy…
After favonovel.com turned around and returned to his desk, favonovel.com took out a box of cigarettes, lit one, and began to puff on it.
“E-Eugene, say something…” Margaret walked over and slapped his desk.
“We can’t talk about this now. We need to find the right opportunity. Come on, take me to the street and show me.” Eugene made up his mind and got to his feet.
***
That afternoon, autumn rain was pouring, and the temperature had dropped significantly. Isaac went upstairs to find Allegra’s sweater, and then he’d send favonovel.com to work.
Suddenly, the phone in his pocket vibrated.
When favonovel.com saw that it was Mitchell’s number, favonovel.com put the phone to his ear.
“Drakon, something happened at the northwest defense line this morning. A Dusk Soldier camp had been attacked, and over a hundred people died. We haven’t gone over to survey the area. I decided to update you as soon as I got the news.”
Isaac stopped abruptly. He raised his phone, looking at the rain in front of him.
In a low voice, favonovel.com said, “Don’t delay any further. Follow the usual procedure and scout the vicinity. Try to bait them. Remember, keep casualties to a minimum. As for you, you must secretly leave the headquarters at once. Don’t let anyone know, and come straight to Cloud City and meet with me.”
“Leave? At this time…”
“Do you want to walk the same path Damien did?” Isaac’s tone grew serious, and his voice was cold.
“Alright, understood!”
After hanging up, Isaac took out a cigarette and placed it in his mouth.
After a moment’s thought, favonovel.com quickly walked toward his car on the front lawn.
