Chapter 325 Not to be Underestimated


    Stepping into the vi, Joshua felt a bit awkward, ncing around the extravagantly decorated living


    room.


    At the slightest noise, Cuatro dashed downstairs and upon seeing a stranger, he ran up to Joshua, circling him twice, then sniffed at him with his dog nose before barking twice at him, making Joshua even more uneasy


    Isabelle reassured Joshua. “He won’t bite.”


    Joshua asked, “Do you live here alone?”


    “Yes. Take <b>a </b>seat.”


    Isabelle <b>went </b>upstairs and brought down a spare notebook for him.


    Isabelle said, “Here, just use it.


    Joshua subconsciously wanted to refuse.


    Isabelle asked, “How can you studyputer science without aputer?”


    With that remark, Joshua fell silent.


    He seemed like he wanted to say thank you, but couldn’t bring himself to.


    Afterst night’s incident, Isabelle could sense Joshua’s change <b>in </b>attitude towards her. Knowing it was because of his brother, he no longer resisted her goodwill.


    “Let’s get started. Isabelle sat <b>down.</b>


    Joshua had only managed to catch up on a bit ofst semester’s courses by himself, but he waspletely lost in <b>this </b>semester’s. He had to start from the basics.


    Isabelle showed a patience she’d never disyed before.


    She exined things clearly and simply, <b>even </b>better than the teachers, yet with less effort, leaving out anything unnecessary.


    Joshua was smart too, catching on quickly, but being a newbie toputers made him a bit clumsy.


    Around six–thirty, the maid came to <b>cook </b>dinner and feed the dog before leaving.


    Isabelle and Joshua had dinner together.


    It wasn’t until around ten at night that their study session finally wrapped up.


    Before Joshua left, Isabelle gave him theputer.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    After hesitating a bit, Joshua took theputer and promised Isabelle, “I’ll pay you back someday.”


    Once Joshua left, Isabelle went upstairs and grabbed herputer.

    In the following days, Joshua would leave school with Isabelle for their tutoring sessions at the vi. They grew closer, and their ssmates couldn’t help but notice, sparking more gossip among them One evening, while Isabelle was chatting with Joshua, a car pulled up outside, followed by the doorbell ringing


    Isabelle sent Cuatro to open the door.


    Cuatro opened the door and upon seeing it was George, he quickly retreated, lifting his front paws high and mmed the door shut with a loud “bang,” narrowly missing George’s nose.


    Isabelle said, “Cuatro.”


    Cuatro pretended to be clueless, acting innocent.


    Worried that Isabelle might get mad, Cuatro eventually reluctantly reopened the door and let George <b>in</b>.


    George stepped into the living room <b>and </b>spotted the two sitting close together on the couch. He approached.


    Joshua nced briefly at George from his books, then quickly looked away.


    Dn followed shortly, sizing <b>up </b>Joshua andmenting inwardly, Other than age, he’s <b>got </b>no advantages, Nothing to worry about.


    While Isabelle was teaching Joshua the new course material, George was left on the sidelines, finding a ce to sit on his own.

    Not wanting to disrupt, George stayed quiet.


    He sat there awkwardly for over ten minutes, afraid to make a <b>sound</b>, enduring Cuatro’s unweing nces.


    Isabelle wrapped up her exnation of the first three topics of the new course in one breath, leaving Joshua to mull it over before finally turning her attention to him. “Have you had dinner?”


    George replied, “Not yet, I came straight from thepany.


    Isabelle said, “We haven’t either, we’ll grab something togetherter.”


    George heard this and nced at Joshua.


    Isabelle introduced him, “He is Joshua.”


    George just replied with <b>a </b>simple “Hmm<b>.</b>”


    He didn’t say anything else.


    The living room was quiet, with only Cuatro ying with a ball and the sound of Joshua writing.


    George had expected Isabelle to chat with him, but after introducing Joshua, she left him hanging again.


    Isabelle’s eyes lingered on Joshua’s face, which bore a striking resemnce to Storm Shadow’s, lost in

    Following Isabelle’s gaze, George kept looking back at Joshua’s face<b>, </b>confirming that Isabelle was indeed. staring at Joshua’s <b>face</b>.


    This made George have to take another look at Joshua.


    He had to admit, that Joshua’s good looks and aloof vibe were pretty appealing to younger girls.


    Dn thought, <i>I </i>was careless just now. This person is not to be underestimated.


    I’m not quite getting this part, Joshua pointed to a question and said.


    Isabelle immediately gave an borate exnation.


    Isabelle’s special treatment of Joshua was something George had never seen before. <i>Is </i>Joshua just a new ssmate she had recently met?


    They had only known each other for <i>a </i><i>few </i>days, yet they were already so close. Isn’t this progress even faster than when Yves and Jim first met her?


    Joshua was studying, so George didn’t want to disturb him by talking.


    Isabelle had no clue about the whirlwind of emotions George was feeling beside her.


    Out of the blue, George pulled out his phone, acting like he was checking the time, then casually left it on the table.


    The phone’s screen stayed on, ringly bright.


    Subconsciously, Isabelle’s gaze was drawn to the bright light.
