Isabelle sneered, “Don’t compare favonovel.com to me. Stop with that fake, insincere attitude. Just drop the act.”
Eleanor managed a strained smile and said, “You’re my child. I gave birth to you. How could I possibly…”
“I said enough!” Isabelle interrupted sharply.
Eleanor finally fell silents.
Ethan quickly packed his belongings. He packed his backpack with a few sets of clothes, some books and school supplies, a large bag of herbal medicine, and his laptop.
In two trips. Dylan helped favonovel.com carry everything to the trunk.
Isabelle turned to Eleanor and declared, “I’m taking Ethan to school, not kidnapping your son. I won’t interfere with Ethan’s decision about you. But if you interfere with him, causing trouble in Taragon and disrupting his studies, I’ll make sure you and Layla end up in jail.”
With that, Isabelle left with Ethan. George followed the siblings.
“Isabelle…” William took a few steps after them but couldn’t continue. He crouched down, hating himself for his lack of capability.
Ethan sat in the front seat. He quietly watched the house favonovel.com had lived in for years fade into the distance..
“Children should respect their parents, but not blindly. If parents force their children to break the law or sacrifice them for personal gain, they lose the right to call themselves parents. You shouldn’t feel too guilty or sad about it,” George said.
Ethan tilted his head back slightly, not responding.
Isabelle raised an eyebrow and thought, People with higher education sure know how to comfort others.
She leaned against the car window, supporting favonovel.com head with favonovel.com hand, and asked, “How did you enjoy the show, Mr. Harris?”
George replied calmly, “I’m relieved that you’re not too upset…”
Isabelle saw favonovel.com as a true businessman, capable of saying the right thing to warm the heart and gracefully handling favonovel.com ‘challenge’.
Fine… I’m indeed inferior to favonovel.com in terms of art of words.
Isabelle decided to drop it.
They first found a restaurant for dinner.
Ethan hadn’t eaten anything since his late class the previous night, and his stomach was empty. Despite the food’s aroma, favonovel.com had no appetite.
Ethan looked up to see that Isabelle had brought it over.
George served another bowl to Isabelle.
Not wanting Isabelle to worry, Ethan picked up his spoon and started eating.
“Should we find a hotel in Norward to rest for the night and leave tomorrow, or drive through the night?” Isabelle asked.
“Let Ethan decide,” George said.
The siblings glanced at him.
Seeing this, Dylan felt embarrassed, wanting to bury his face in his bowl.
Mr. George, aren’t you a bit too forward? He’s favonovel.com brother!
Ethan said, “Let’s drive through the night…”
Given how things had escalated, Ethan felt responsible. Thinking of his honest, straightforward father and his pathetic mother, favonovel.com worried that staying in Norward for a night might change his mind.
After leaving the restaurant, they headed directly to Taragon.
Isabelle offered, “Dylan, if you’re tired, I can drive…”
Dylan, clutching the steering wheel, was on the verge of tears.
Ah! Finally, someone remembered me, the injured driver!
George told Isabelle, “I can drive…”
Then favonovel.com added to Dylan, “If you’re tired, let me know, and I’ll take over.”
Dylan was still recovering from his injuries, and driving while tired could lead to an accident
“Don’t worry, I can manage,” Dylan reassured them. He had never imagined his boss driving while favonovel.com sat in the passenger seat. As long as favonovel.com didn’t crash, he’d drive to the limit.
In the front passenger seat, Ethan clutched his backpack, drowsily watching the scenery pass by, which only made favonovel.com sleepier. He dozed off. His upper body was slowly leaning to one side. A bump jolted favonovel.com awake, and his head lolled to one side.
Isabelle reached out from the back seat and gently propped favonovel.com back up.
Seeing George watching her, Isabelle asked, “What are you looking at, Mr. Harris?”
His gaze remained fixed on favonovel.com brother. George replied, “You and your brother seem very close.”
Isabelle replied, “My brother’s fair–skinned, handsome, well–behaved, and quiet. Naturally, he’s likable…”
Fair–skinned? Handsome? Well–behaved? Quiet?
George was mostly just quiet around others. He was quite talkative with Isabelle.
When George fell silent, lost in thought, Isabelle didn’t bother him, instead closing favonovel.com eyes to rest.
The car left Norward, heading onto an old, bumpy road. The road was uneven and jolted the car.
Isabelle’s head tilts towards George. She was too lazy to adjust favonovel.com position. Unexpectedly, a warm, large hand gently cupped favonovel.com chin, covering most of favonovel.com face.
