Chapter 176 Winning Her Over
Riley told his son, “Can’t you see how Uncle George feels about that girl? I suggest you give up your feelings before they lead to trouble.”
“That girl is not someone you can easily hold onto. Even if your Uncle George has no romantic interest in her, you must understand you don’t share his ability. The rest of the sentence went unspoken but was clearly understood.
Though harsh, his father’s words were undeniably true.
Sam sighed. “I get it, Dad.”
The cooking skill of the Harrises’s chef was exceptional. Even the picky Isabelle was satisfied with the meal.
The atmosphere felt surprisingly pleasant as the first light of morning filtered through the
European–style windows, casting a warm glow on the long dining table,
Isabelle nced at the scenery outside andmented, “Mr. Harris, your family seems very close–knit.”
Much to her surprise, they didn’t divide the house. However, the distance between their living spaces was so great that it felt as if they were living apart.
Isabelle wasn’t fazed by the Harris family’s vast financial resources, but she acknowledged the fact that having such arge plot ofnd in the heart of Taragon City and building a private mansion resembling <b>a </b>pce was quite daring.
George asked. “Do you enjoy this kind of family environment, Miss Jenkins?”
She met his t gaze and said. “The word ‘family‘ doesn’t mean much to me. <b>Most </b>of the time. I don’t care for crowds.”
“I prefer peace <b>too</b>. Within a 200–metre <b>radius</b>, I’m the only one living here,” George responded.
If Dn had been present, he would have awarded George the top prize for his impable, face–changingThis belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.
George had nned to show Isabelle around the <b>house </b>after breakfast, assuming she didn’t want to rest further.
But when he went away to take a phone call, Isabelle had gone from the living room.
When he called her, she <b>was </b>already in a taxi.
“I’m going home to take a shower,” Isabelle said.
She hadn’t intended to leave before old Mr. Harris woke up in the afternoon, but she couldn’t bear the thought of enduring endless rounds of gratitude from each family member.
As soon as she left, Bernice arrived.
When Bernice knew that Isabelle had gone, she voiced her disappointment. “Why didn’t you keep her here? I haven’t even thanked her properly.”

He suspected Isabelle had left quictly to avoid dealing with his family’s heartfelt thanks.
Bernice sighed. “Ask her when she’s avable again. Your father <b>and </b>I would like to thank her properly once he <b>wakes </b><b>up</b><b>.</b><b>”</b>
<b>“</b>Alright, George replied.
Satisfied with his response, Bernice then asked, “George, how old is that youngdy?”
George answered, “She’s eighteen. Her name is Isabelle Jenkins, and she is from Norward City. She lives with her parents, has a younger brother and sister, and just started her freshman year at Taragon University. Her grades are exceptional; when her college entrance exam results came out, Principal Burton personally went to Norward City to recruit her.”
He’d only been asked her age but ended up giving a detailed story.
Bernice, Eleanor, and Amber exchanged knowing nces, and they appeared to be quite enlightened.
Bernice smiled and asked, “Be honest with me. Did you turn–down the Sullivans’s marriage proposal because of this girl? Is there something between you two?”
Seeing the curious expressions on his two sisters–inw, George shook his head and exined, “Right now, it’s just me pursuing her. She’s still young, and the idea of <b>romance </b><b>is </b>likely too early for her. I’m still in the process of winning her over.”
He didn’t want to ruin the girl’s reputation with premature assumptions.
The two women were surprised by this illogical situation. Who couldpare to George in terms of family background, capabilities, looks, and height?
Bernice asked, “Is she perhaps put off by your age?”
George paused, feeling slightly exasperated.
He <b>would </b>have flipped Dn’s head if he had asked such a question. But since it was his mother, he could do nothing.
Eleanor chimed in, “Older men are more considerate. As they say, ‘a young wife for an old husband. <b>And </b>mene into their prime at thirty; it’s the perfect age.”
Amber added, “Exactly. A <b>man’s </b>age is the least of anyone’s concerns.
“She’s not that shallow,” George reassured them.
Bernice nodded, relieved. “Good to hear<b>. </b>If she doesn’t mind your age, then you need to put more effort in. This girl is wonderful in every way. I like her.”
George gave a slight nod. “I will.”
<b>Amber </b>suggested, “Winning over a young girl’s heart requires some effort. They love romantic gestures at that age. You need to cater to her interests.”
Romantic Gestures? <i>Isabelle </i>preferred quick, decisive actions and wasn’t fond of excessive frills.
Cater to her interests? That might be challenging. Then, a thought struck George.

George immediately called Isabelle.
As the phone rang, he realised she might be resting after a sleepless night and considered hanging up, but fortunately, he didn’t..
Isabelle was awake and answered his call.
