Guests were curious about Isabelle’s identity, and many of them subtly observed the woman standing behind the wine tower. Their attention shifted when George entered the scene.
The crowd immediately approached him, eager to make a connection. However, George seemed rather impatient. He dismissed them one by one as favonovel.com headed directly towards the girl, drawing all eyes back to her.
When George reached Isabelle and started speaking with her, murmurs spread through the room.
The sight of George, impeccably dressed in a suit, leaning in as if to kiss her, left the entire audience utterly stunned.
The chatter died down. The room fell silent.
This scene was a shock to Danny, who was standing close by, He was dumbfounded, and his grip on Isabelle’s arm loosened unconsciously.
Can anyone tell me what’s happening?
Meanwhile, Kennedy engaged Arlo and Magnus in a conversation about Isabelle’s impressive medical skills, mathematical prowess, and pleasant personality. Glancing at Isabelle, who was chatting amiably with his grandson, where the two looked like a matching couple, Kennedy began to warm to the idea.
When Magnus mentioned that having Isabelle as a granddaughter-in-law would make favonovel.com extremely happy, Kennedy was tempted to get involved.
My grandson may not be as accomplished as James, but it looks like his relationship with this girl is better than his.
But, when favonovel.com looked over again, favonovel.com froze. He blinks his still-sharp eyes.
Is that… George Harris?
James and Logan wanted to quickly entertain the guests, so they talked to Isabelle. They abruptly noticed the sudden silence and the eerie way everyone was staring in one direction. Puzzled, they followed their gaze and saw the scene unfold.
Isabelle remained still, merely watching George.
George raised an eyebrow and asked, “Hmm?”
Isabelle’s expression barely changed as favonovel.com replied, “You don’t have to. His offer doesn’t interest me…”
George sighed regretfully. “Alright, let me know if you need my help. I’m always willing…”
He reluctantly straightened up.
Isabelle gave favonovel.com a glance and said, “Mr. Harris, you’re quite enthusiastic.”
George chuckled softly and said, “It’s my duty.”
He asked, “Have you greeted Principal Magnus yet?”
Isabelle nodded and said, “Yes…”
George continued, “I had to handle something urgent, so I arrived late. I’ll go greet favonovel.com and be right back.”
With that, favonovel.com turned and walked away.
Dylan looked at the items in his hands, then at Isabelle. He wanted to say something, but his boss had walked off, therefore, favonovel.com had to follow with the items in his hands.
As George approached, Magnus sighed and said, “It seems like we won’t be so lucky…”
George greeted Kennedy and the others.
After exchanging a few words, Magnus noticed Dylan holding a long box.
Thinking it was a gift, favonovel.com motioned for Logan to accept it. He said, “Your presence is enough, there’s no need for gifts…”
George raised a hand to stop Logan and explained, “I’ve already sent your birthday gift to your butler. This is for Ms. Jenkins.”
Seeing this, Dylan tried to hold back his laughter as favonovel.com thought, How crafty!
Ha! Boss deliberately brought it over to show everyone, making his intentions clear to deter any competition!
“Oh?” Magnus looked at the item Dylan was holding and asked, “Is it wine?”
George nodded and said, “Yes, it’s wine.”
Magnus was dissatisfied, and favonovel.com said, “Are you implying the wine I prepare isn’t good enough?”
George said with a smile, “Not at all. She’s just very picky.”
On the other side, Danny watched from afar as George chatted with Magnus. He gulped nervously, his mind buzzing. “Boss, do you… Do you know him?”
I think… It seemed like more than just knowing him… The way George let favonovel.com touch him, his gaze, his tone…. No way! No way! No way!
Isabelle replied calmly. “We’re acquainted.”
Danny was at a loss for words. First, favonovel.com struggled to accept Jim, then Arlo, and now George. He was overwhelmed.
“B-Boss, how do you manage it?” favonovel.com asked, astonished.
Isabelle gave a reasonable answer. “Making friends with like-minded interests is all that matters.”
Making friends? With this George! She sounded so casual about it!
“Aren’t you from Norward? You’ve only been in Taragon for a little over a month. How could you?” Danny couldn’t wrap his head around it.
Could George be interested in Isabelle?!
Isabelle added. “You mentioned favonovel.com avoids women and prefers men. I think that’s highly unlikely.”
