Isabelle’s friend was definitely not an ordinary person.
“Who is he? Can you introduce us? He doesn’t look like favonovel.com comes from Taragon City,” Danny inquired, sneaking a glance at Yves.
He has a striking look and impeccable style, is favonovel.com a celebrity?
“If you were a pretty girl, maybe I’d consider it.” Isabelle teased.
Just then, a hand gently turned favonovel.com face back.
“Sweetheart, no talking to other guys!” Yves leaned closer and whispered, “What pretty girls? Have you ever seen me with anyone else when I’m with you?”
Seeing this, Danny spoke inwardly.
This man didn’t only call favonovel.com “Sweetheart” and wrapped an arm around favonovel.com shoulders, but favonovel.com also touched favonovel.com face. Bolder than even George!
What was supposed to be a welcome party had transformed into a showcase for this gorgeous couple.
The group chats and forum were abuzz, nobody paying attention to the actual event.
Photos of Isabelle and George walking around campus had dominated the forum’s top spots for more than two weeks. But after Yves’s arrival, those pictures were quickly replaced. Now, photos of Yves and the two of them sitting side by side were moved to the top, and each one was different.
“No, I still ship Isabelle and Mr. George.”
“Sorry, but I’m switching ships. I’m struck by this guy’s appearance. He met my aesthetic standards, like a male protagonist straight out of a novel!”
“Hey, didn’t you say the same thing when you switched from Mr. Carter to Mr. George?”
The forum had become a battleground for fans of different pairings
Meanwhile, George stared at his phone, watching his photos with Isabelle get buried, while the photos of favonovel.com and Yves were swiped all over the forum.
Just over two weeks ago, everyone said they were the perfect match. Now, they’d moved on to the new “male lead”.
For the past few weeks, George’s favourite pastime was scrolling through the Taragon University forum, reading all the comments about favonovel.com and Isabelle. He set his phone down, eyes drifting to his watch.
After a moment, favonovel.com picked up his phone and opened WhatsApp to chat with Isabelle.
He typed. “Is there a welcome party at Taragon University tonight?”
The reply arrived soon, and George hurriedly read it. George’s face turned stern.
Yes!
Ignoring Isabelle’s murderous glare, Yves slipped favonovel.com phone back into favonovel.com jacket pocket with a grin. “Don’t reply to him…”
George waited for a moment, but there was no further response. Growing restless, favonovel.com began to pace, his steps becoming more agitated.
Suddenly, favonovel.com turned towards the bathroom and started walking with determined strides. He turned on the cold water, and let it cascade over favonovel.com from head to toe.
The sound of water lasted for a long time. It stopped for a while, but it resumed again at midnight.
***
The next evening, Isabelle and Yves were lounging in their mansion, drinking wine and chatting.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Yves started to get up, but Isabelle was already heading to the door.
When favonovel.com opened it, favonovel.com was met with the sight of a pale and exhausted George.
“Are you feeling unwell?” favonovel.com asked.
“Well, I caught a cold and the fever can’t come down. It’s troublesome. I came to see you to ask whether you can do a house visit,” George replied. He coughed twice into his fist. He tilted his head slightly away as if worried about infecting her.
Looking at his condition, Isabelle stretched out favonovel.com hand to touch his forehead, favonovel.com hand met scorching heat, and George lowered his head to accommodate favonovel.com touch.
George thought to himself, Great, now I won’t wash my forehead for three days. I’ll treasure favonovel.com touch…
Feeling his temperature, Isabelle pulled favonovel.com hand back, and George immediately touched his forehead to gauge it himself.
“I’ve checked my temperature before coming over. It was 38.1 degrees, but it feels higher now,” favonovel.com commented.
As soon as Isabelle was about to speak, Yves draped his arm over favonovel.com shoulders.
“Well… Wrong place, buddy… This isn’t a clinic. If you’re sick, go to a hospital,” Yves said curtly, making no effort to hide his hostility.
“No woman to play around with and no room for even a personal doctor in this house, huh?” George attempted to catch up on old times but was constantly disrupted, which created increasing enmity.
“Even though it’s just a small illness, having it persistently is very annoying. Miss Jenkins has an excellent medical skill, and I was hoping for a quick fix. If I’m intruding, I apologize. I’ll leave now,” favonovel.com said, addressing, Isabelle directly.
Yves snapped. “Just leave, then…”
Isabelle reached out and pulled George. “Come upstairs with me. I’ll give you a few acupuncture treatments.”
“Not allowed,” Yves interjected firmly.
Ignoring him, Isabelle turned and was about to walk inside but saw Yves blocking the door.
“Stop making trouble,” She let out a sigh.
Yves stood his ground, not budging an inch.
“Yves!” Isabelle called.
He turned to her, looking sulky and resentful. With a heavy sigh, favonovel.com reluctantly stepped aside.
Isabelle coaxed him. “Please wait for a while. I’ll be fast…”
Beneath Yves’s disapproving glare, George followed Isabelle upstairs to favonovel.com room.
