It felt like favonovel.com was waiting for the moment when someone would be thrown down.
Then favonovel.com heard George’s knock on the door and voices.
But after two minutes, there was still no sound of a fight upstairs. Faintly, favonovel.com even heard the door opening casually.
Hmm… What’s going on!
Upstairs, it wasn’t the bloody scene Jim had imagined. But it wasn’t all peaceful either.
Isabelle just got back on the bed after opening the door, looking at George without expression as favonovel.com came in. The two of them exchanged silent glances, and the room became eerily quiet.
After a while, George tried to lighten the mood with a soft, innocent, and apologetic tone, saying, “I thought you were up…”
Having learned from the last time favonovel.com knocked and knowing that Isabelle could be grumpy in the morning, George had purposely messaged favonovel.com on his way over. And Isabelle had replied, though it was just a single punctuation. He thought favonovel.com was awake, but not.
Isabelle stayed silent, not speaking or reacting, still just staring at him. Her intense stare made George uneasy, causing his body to instinctively tense up.
Considering George had always been in a high position, it was strange for George to experience being stared at like this. It made favonovel.com realize how those favonovel.com used to fix his gaze upon must have felt.
He was about to say more, but just then, Isabelle got up and went to the bathroom, leaving favonovel.com hanging.
Seeing this, the words favonovel.com was about to say faded away.
George had planned to wait for favonovel.com outside, but the idea of Jim downstairs made favonovel.com decide to stay put in the room instead.
After Isabelle finished freshening up and came out, favonovel.com asked, “Didn’t we agree to call if something came up?”
George instinctively read favonovel.com tone. Though it was a bit cold, there was no hint of anger.
Knowing favonovel.com preference for action over words when upset, favonovel.com understood that if favonovel.com were truly mad, favonovel.com wouldn’t be speaking to him. And Isabelle didn’t say anything else.
Indeed, as the head of the Harris family and a top martial artist, George held significant power and influence, making anyone think twice before messing with him. The Dark Shadow would have to think carefully before making a move against him. Unless necessary, the Dark Shadow wouldn’t provoke such a force.
But nothing was certain. Isabelle didn’t want to involve favonovel.com in favonovel.com troubles.
Noticing Isabelle’s silence, George cautiously asked. “Are you mad?”
He gazed at the girl’s smooth, delicate face. She had just washed up, but favonovel.com washing technique was a bit rough, favonovel.com splashed water directly onto favonovel.com face and then wiped it off hastily.
There were still plenty of water droplets on favonovel.com face, gleaming and clear, enhancing the porcelain–like perfection of favonovel.com skin. Her curled lashes trembled slightly, piercing straight into one’s heart.
Isabelle replied quickly, “I had too much drink last night, and didn’t sleep well. It’s not your fault, so you don’t need to worry about it.”
But the quicker favonovel.com spoke, the more guilty George felt inside.
It was evident that favonovel.com still had emotions pent up. Otherwise, how could favonovel.com immediately understand that favonovel.com was referring to the incident where favonovel.com disturbed favonovel.com sleep?
Dylan stood near the sofa, holding something in his hand. He glanced at Jim now and then, then followed Jim’s gaze upstairs.
Jim waited for a bit, sensing that something was off. Just as favonovel.com was about to head upstairs, favonovel.com spotted the two of them coming down, one after the other
“When did you wake up?” Jim asked.
“Just now,” Isabelle replied.
Jim then asked, “Did someone wake you up?”
Isabelle shot favonovel.com a look that said it all.
Jim, catching favonovel.com meaning, immediately turned to glance at George walking behind her, unscathed, with all his limbs intact.
Blood Shadow surprisingly didn’t attack him… Was George hiding his skills from him?
That seemed unlikely… They are friends, they must know each other’s capabilities… So, what’s the reason?
On the other hand, their conversation made George look over at Jim. He even knew when Isabelle was in a bad mood, something favonovel.com hadn’t picked up on during their two months living together on Melfrey.
What exactly is the relationship between these two?
George fell into thought of the impressive heir of the underworld, a top–tier lawyer, initially humbled himself to assist Isabelle with favonovel.com “cheating on exams” case. Then, spurred by a bet, favonovel.com hurried back from abroad overnight to stand by Isabelle’s side, drinking and causing a stir at the bar. And later, favonovel.com even stayed the night here.
From the student discussions on the Taragon University forum and from watching Jim’s lecture videos, George gathered that Jim and Isabelle were close friends, perhaps even old friends.
Old friends?
Wouldn’t it require at least five or six years of friendship, plus many years of not seeing each other, before calling someone an old friend?
And how old is Isabelle!
As they came downstairs, George’s mind raced with countless thoughts and emotions.
Isabelle took a seat on the sofa. “Aren’t you supposed to hurry back to Senedele? Why are you still here?”
“No rush…” Jim responded, but then favonovel.com cast a glance at George.
Before George could react, favonovel.com sat down beside Isabelle.
George hesitated for a moment. His deep gaze swept over Jim. He concealed his emotions and sat down opposite them, remaining composed.
