Chapter 803


    Isabelle understood the hidden meaning behind John’s words. Since she wasn’t the love of his life, he


    would never be passionate toward her. Even if they got married, their lives would be as tasteless as


    water. Even so, she would want to try if she could make him fall head over heels for her.


    After a pause, she nodded slowly. “Alright. I understand what you mean, and I know what to do.”


    They decided to stay at the cashier counter. A momentter, Sophia and Matilda came out of the room,


    chatting and smiling at each other as if they didn’t mind what John and Isabelle were talking about.

    Turning to John, Sophia asked, “Are you done talking? Can we go now?”


    Isabelle faced away from Sophia and wiped her tears with her hand.


    With a milder expression, John pulled Sophia toward him. “Yes, we can go now.”


    Without giving Isabelle a nce, Sophia and John walked down the stairs and reached for their car.


    Walking up to Isabelle, Matilda gave it a thought and pped her shoulder before leaving the ce.


    Upon wiping off the tears from the corners of her eyes, Isabelle gazed at John’s car. As the car started


    moving, through the window, she could see Sophia saying something to John. While John’s expression


    remained calm, Sophia guffawed.


    Why does he love this kind of woman? I don’t get it. Up until now, Isabelle still didn’t think she was


    inferior to Sophia. Although she could understand John’s choice, she remained unresigned.


    After waiting for a bit, her phone started ringing. Her father called her to ask where she was. Without


    telling him her location, she replied that the dinner was over, and she was ready to go home now.


    Without getting the answer he wanted, he questioned again, “I’m asking where you are. Didn’t you say


    you are going to have Japanese cuisine?”


    Isabelle inquired, “What’s wrong?” Seeing as her father remained silent, she pursued, “Are you at the


    Japanese restaurant? Aren’t you supposed to be in thepany? Are you having dinner over there?”


    Old Mr. Bailey heaved a sigh. “No, I was just asking.”


    Isabelle’s gaze turned dim, but her voice remained calm as she questioned, “Oh, why are you curious


    about where I am?”


    As though her father was lost for words, he fell silent while Isabelle waited patiently. A whileter, he let


    out a sigh. “Forget it. Come home now.”


    With a sweet voice, Isabelle replied, “Okay.” When the call ended, her expression turned dark.


    Meanwhile, seated in the car, Matilda scowled. Until she couldn’t take it anymore, she asked, “Do you


    think Isabelle really dropped something into the ss of water?”


    Hearing that, Sophia grinned. “I believe so, but I don’t think it’s anything lethal. Perhaps it’s just some


    laxative. She wouldn’t have been stupid enough to try to kill me at that point.”


    If anything really happened to me, she would have been the prime suspect, Sophia thought.


    John grunted. “Yes, maybe she was just trying to pull a prank.” Isabelle seems to have gotten over our


    rtionship, so I don’t think she would try to kill Sophia.


    Matilda said, “That’s good.”


    When they reached Constance Residence and stopped the car, they saw William speaking on the


    phone in the garden.


    Sophia gently pushed Matilda and said, “Go talk to him. Maybe he’s waiting for you.” Upon finishing her


    words, she spread her arms and stretched her back. “I feel so sleepy after having dinner.”
