“Evie, didn’t you sleep well last night? Your dark circles look pretty bad,” Allegra greeted Evie in the morning.
After favonovel.com was taken away by the authorities last night, Evie hadn’t told Isaac anything about it and even helped favonovel.com cover it up, so Allegra was grateful to favonovel.com for that.
Evie glared at the both of them and said, “Why don’t I just move downstairs and be neighbors with Ms. Lambert instead? Can’t you both be less rough and noisy at night, at least for Isabella?”
Gasp!
Allegra blushed deeply and hung favonovel.com head at once. She reached out and pinched Isaac on the waist hard. Then, favonovel.com looked back at Evie and said, “Speak for yourself. He’s spending the night tonight in your room. Hmph!”
Evie looked at Isaac in confusion and caught his gaze on her. She suddenly felt herself blushing too.
Isaac ended up not having breakfast at home because favonovel.com was going out to see Diana later.
After sending Isabella to school, there was still plenty of time before their meet-up at 8 am, so favonovel.com went to the address Diana had sent him. The address turned out to be an Inglish breakfast cafe.
As soon as favonovel.com got out of the car, favonovel.com caught sight of Diana sitting at a table by the window. She was in uniform today, with favonovel.com hair tied back in a ponytail as favonovel.com waved at him.
Isaac sat down opposite her. He looked at the food she’d ordered and chuckled, saying, “Diana, it’s rare of you to treat me to breakfast like this. The food here looks expensive…”
“Are you implying that I’m usually stingy with you?” Diana asked, putting some sausages on Isaac’s plate.
She rolled favonovel.com eyes and said, “The owner here is from Ingland, so their food is all authentic.”
Isaac took a bite of his sausage and nodded in agreement.
“The taste is not bad. It’s quite fragrant. But you’re not here just because you want to treat me to breakfast, right?” favonovel.com asked, looking back at her.
Diana thought back about how Allegra looked last night and frowned.
Just as favonovel.com was about to explain, Isaac‘s phone started ringing.
He saw that it was Allegra calling, so favonovel.com gestured to Diana to continue speaking while favonovel.com answered the call, asking, “Ally? I just dropped Isabella off at school. I’m having breakfast with Officer Taylor now.”
He then chuckled and said, “Don‘t worry. I personally handed it to favonovel.com head teacher.”
A while later, favonovel.com said again, “Say hi to Officer Taylor for you? Sure…”
Isaac looked at Diana, and they exchanged gazes with each other. Diana’s facial expression had changed.
Isaac put down his phone and asked in confusion, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”
“Oh, I just wanted to ask you about your whereabouts for the past few days. Grandpa has been wanting to invite you over for dinner,” Diana responded, suddenly changing favonovel.com mind about what favonovel.com wanted to tell Isaac.
Diana felt that Allegra’s timely call was too much of a coincidence to be one. Nonetheless, favonovel.com didn’t know what Allegra was trying to keep a secret from Isaac.
Diana then told Isaac that there’d been a number of drug peddlers who died under mysterious circumstances lately in Cloud City. She asked Isaac to tell Allegra to be wary of favonovel.com surroundings. Then, favonovel.com picked up a call and left.
Isaac figured that there was something Diana wanted to tell him, but favonovel.com couldn’t just chase after her. So, favonovel.com also got up and left.
He got home later in the morning and took a three-hour therapeutic bath.
At noon, Isaac planned to visit Harry and Denver at the clinic. He told Holly where he’d be and was on his way out when his phone started ringing again.
It was Barry’s number. Isaac stared at it for a while and answered the call, putting the phone to his ear with a smile.
“Uncle Isaac, please save Daddy! Please, Uncle Isaac!” There was a boy’s crying voice on the phone, and Isaac immediately recognized it.
It belonged to Barry’s son, Kai!
“Kai, why are you crying? What happened to your father?” Isaac asked with a frown.
There was more sobbing as Kai said, “Mommy brought a whole bunch of people to beat Daddy up and ask favonovel.com for money. Uncle Isaac, you have to come and save Daddy!”
Kai sounded very upset on the phone. There were muffled sounds of screaming in the background.
Kai’s mother?
What is Barry’s runaway wife doing back here?
“Kai, go and hide in a safe place for now, okay? Uncle Isaac will be there very soon.” Isaac then hung up and dialed Shawn’s number as favonovel.com hurried to his car.
