“Still sleepy?” George’s voice was gentle and low.
The girl inside the room glanced at favonovel.com before turning and walking away. She didn’t close the door.
After a moment’s hesitation, George followed favonovel.com in. He heard Isabelle’s voice from ahead. “I’m awake…”
George said, “I thought it was about time for breakfast, so I came and got you. Ethan is already in the dining room.”
Isabelle was on favonovel.com way to the bathroom. She responded with another grunt.
George sighed in relief and waited for Isabelle to finish freshening up.
In the elevator, George asked, “Since your brother is in Taragon now, should we arrange for new security personnel for favonovel.com or bring over the ones from Norward?”
Given Isabelle’s strained relationship with favonovel.com family, George figured favonovel.com had asked for protection for favonovel.com brother. Therefore, favonovel.com had to check with her.
Isabelle replied, “It would be best to arrange for new personnel, Mr. Harris.”
Eleanor and Layla’s wellbeing meant nothing to her, but if something happened to them because of her, it would upset Ethan.
Isabelle was worried about the Dark Shadow’s potential threats. Given that favonovel.com had severed favonovel.com ties with favonovel.com family and brought Ethan to Taragon, Isabelle was concerned that the Dark Shadow might target Ethan next. She considered calling in some help from the Blackwater Mercenary Corps.
George was curious about who Isabelle’s enemies were, but since favonovel.com didn’t share, favonovel.com didn’t pry.
When they reached the dining room, Isabelle saw Ethan already seated with George’s business card in front of him.
Ethan looked at her, searching for guidance.
“Keep it,” Isabelle said.
Since favonovel.com had favonovel.com confirmation, Ethan put the card away.
Isabelle planned to take Ethan around Taragon to help favonovel.com adjust and improve his mood before schooling. However, Ethan insisted it wasn’t necessary,
George had chosen the best school in the city, with top–notch educational standards and resources.
From afar, they saw a welcoming committee of ten people at the school gate.
As soon as they got out of the car, the group warmly greeted them. Leading the group were the principal, vice principal, and various directors.
Isabelle didn’t worry about Ethan’s condition causing bullying at school thanks to George’s arrangements. The school could even make special arrangements to prepare his medicine in the cafeteria.
“Don’t worry. I’ve already reviewed Ethan’s grades from Norward High. They’re excellent…” The principal spoke at length.
Isabelle disliked such social situations. George handled all the interactions on favonovel.com behalf.
Once Ethan was settled, George drove Isabelle to university.
***
Sitting in the car, Isabelle noticed George’s long, slender fingers. She had made a polite remark about giving favonovel.com a watch. Now it seemed favonovel.com had to follow through.
“What are you looking at?” George asked, noticing favonovel.com gaze.
“Your hands are nice,” Isabelle said, then looked away.
If they’re nice, why did you look away?
George felt a brief moment of excitement, but favonovel.com quickly composed himself.
At the south gate of the university, Erin was walking with favonovel.com two roommates, holding a cup of coffee when favonovel.com saw Isabelle getting out of a luxury car.
“Is that Isabelle? Whose car is favonovel.com in?”
“That license plate is all zeros. Isn’t that more expensive than the car itself? The person inside must be very important,” one roommate said.
Erin tried to see who was inside, but the tinted windows revealed nothing.
That car definitely doesn’t belong to Danny. He only drives sports cars. That car is too business!
Erin said, “She’s hooked up with another rich guy. She’s really something…”
“She’s a genius and a math prodigy. With favonovel.com looks, favonovel.com can have anything favonovel.com want,” the other roommate said.
Erin scoffed, “Do you think rich people are stupid? They’re just playing with her. Does favonovel.com really think favonovel.com can marry into wealth?”
As Isabelle walked across campus, favonovel.com called Yves.
In Melfrey, Yves waved to halt a meeting and asked, “What’s up, darling? Miss me?”
“You’re quite into watches and have good taste. Can you pick one for me?” Isabelle asked.
Yves said, “Why the sudden interest in watches? One isn’t enough. I’ll send you a whole box, enough for both wrists!”
Isabelle replied. “It’s a gift for a man, around thirty years old. Something understated yet sophisticated…”
“A man? Who? Jim?” Yves asked.
Isabelle said, “A new friend. I’ll introduce you when you’re back.”
“I don’t care to meet some thirty–year–old guy. Simply put, I would like to know why my sweetheart is watching an elderly man. Is favonovel.com more attractive than me? Does favonovel.com cherish you like I did. my darling?” Yves teased.
“If you don’t want to meet him, fine. I doubt you’d get along anyway. I’ll text you the address. Bye,” Isabelle said
