This was what grandeur was all about!
By the time Isaac returned to Sleeping Dragon Bay, it was already afternoon.
As soon as favonovel.com entered, favonovel.com said with a smile to Holly, “Ms. Lambert, prepare a few extra dishes tonight. Let’s have a good meal together.”
It was rare to see Isaac so cheerful. So, Holly quickly nodded, then hurried out to buy groceries.
Seeing Hera standing quietly by the staircase, looking somewhat aggrieved, Isaac approached favonovel.com and said, “From now on, as long as I’m home, you can go out and have fun. How does that sound?”
“Really?” Hera’s expression brightened instantly, favonovel.com face shifting from gloom to sunshine. She somehow looked incredulously at Isaac.
“Of course!”
“Bye!”
In a flash, Hera disappeared from sight.
“Be back for dinner!” Isaac called out toward the door, shaking his head in amusement.
How could this incredibly powerful woman behave like a naive young girl who hasn’t seen the world?
In the afternoon, Isaac spent time with Evie in the yard, basking in the sun. Occasionally, favonovel.com would lean over favonovel.com protruding belly, listening to the baby’s movements.
“The baby is so active now, kicking so hard that it hurts,” Evie said, looking somewhat melancholic.
Despite favonovel.com words, favonovel.com eyes were filled with tender maternal love as favonovel.com gazed at favonovel.com belly.
The family dinner that evening around the large round table was lively. While munching on meatloaf, Todd complained about Isaac not taking favonovel.com to Parwin.
Isaac laughed and punished himself with a drink.
Seeing that Todd was still not appeased, favonovel.com downed two more glasses.
“Drinking that kind of liquor is like drinking water for you. Do you think you can fool me with that?” Todd said, his mouth greasy. He was actually displeased.
“What would satisfy you, then?”
“Drink a whole barrel of alcohol, and I’ll forgive you.” Todd chuckled.
Just as Isaac was about to retort in anger, a hurried voice came from outside the dining room. “Isaac, you need to come out quickly!”
Recognizing the voice, Isaac immediately stood up and walked outside.
There, in the middle of the living room, stood Altair, clad in a long robe, his face etched with urgency.
“Sir Altair, what brings you here alone?” Todd also came out.
Isaac joked, “Come on, this Jensen here was just trying to force me to drink pure alcohol. As the head of the Jensens, you should come and be the judge.”
“Stop joking around. You need to come with me. It’s serious!” Altair glanced inside before promptly pulling Isaac toward the door.
Seeing Altair’s grave expression, Isaac followed favonovel.com out of the living room.
Standing on the steps outside, Altair turned and grasped Isaac’s arm anxiously. “Do you know that something has happened to Mizar’s family?”
“Mizar? Mizar Stoner?” Isaac was taken aback.
Altair immediately nodded.
“She must be in prison by now. I’ve heard that there’s some chaos within the Stoner family. After Sir Lorcan’s death, some people weren’t willing to accept Mizar as the head and seemed to be planning a revolt.”
Isaac’s eyes narrowed sharply. “Is that so? Then, why aren’t you helping?”
“I wanted to, but Sir Antonio has forbidden anyone from interfering in another family’s affairs. And I am the head!” Altair said, frustratedly stamping his foot.
“Isaac, you know I have feelings for Mizar. She’s in danger now, and I can’t go to her. I had no choice but to sneak out and come to you, my comrade, for help.”
