Chapter 136


    With a hint of smile in Brett''s eyes, they were deep and bright in their subtlety.


    Izabe turned her head to continue looking out of the window, feeling Brett''s gaze on her from the


    corner of her eyes. Even though his gaze was light, it was filled with a dominant pressure, like an


    arrow piercing her heart.


    Izabe said, "I wonder if it will snow this year."


    "It''s still summer, too early for that."


    R City rarely had snow; it wasn''t too hot in summer and not too cold in winter. Thest time it


    snowed was three years ago; it even made the news.


    Izabe was sensitive to the cold. In winter, her hands and feet were cold, but she liked watching


    the snow.


    "Do you like snow?"


    After pondering for a while, Izabe replied, "I wouldn''t say I really like it, but it''s rare here, and


    people tend to be drawn to rare things."


    "This winter, we can go to the north; there''s a lot of snow there. We can see the snowyndscapes."


    The music in the car was filled with a woman''s sentimental voice, whispering words of love: I''m a


    swallow from the south, why am I in love with the coldness from the north?


    Izabe followed the lyrics and said, "I like snow, but I can''t stand the cold, so you should take


    Kaley instead."


    She brought up Kaley, knowing full well it would throw a wrench into the pleasant atmosphere.


    Now, even the driver could feel the tension in the air.


    The car drove into a gentle mountain road, apanied only by a row of lonely streetlights. The


    lights were left on in the vi.


    Jennifer hadn''t gone to bed yet. As soon as she heard the car engine outside, she opened the door


    and saw Izabe getting out of the car.


    "Miss, you and President Windham are back," she said.


    "Yeah."


    "Are you hungry? Do you need to eat something?" Jennifer had made something simple after


    receiving a text message in the afternoon, knowing they would be dining out.


    Izabe shook her head, "No need."

    Despite standing so close to each other, Jennifer noticed that Brett and Izabe seemed very


    distant from each other. Was this a case of being together but disconnected?


    Jennifer closed the door after they went inside.


    It was much warmer in the room. Izabe took off her coat, threw it on the couch, and returned to


    the bedroom to take a bath and change intofortable pajamas.


    Brett had had quite a few drinks tonight, but the effect of the alcohol was not shown. He had a


    steady gait and clear speech, but when he drank, he became even quieter, and his eyes extra bright


    - the more intoxicated, the brighter they got.


    Brett took his phone out of his pocket. As soon as he connected to the inte, several messages


    popped up.


    Liam was a workaholic. Nine out of ten messages were work-rted, and one asked if Brett was


    avable.


    Brett checked the messages while rubbing his temples. They were all about Starry Brilliance Ind.


    He quickly sent Liam a reply.


    "I''ve handed over Starry Brilliance Ind to Izabe. She''ll take full responsibility from now on. Work


    with her."


    Liam sent a question mark in response, but Brett didn''t reply further. Liam sent a message saying


    he understood.


    Izabe saw the messages from Liam after she finished bathing. The phone screen was too small


    to see the content clearly, so she opened herptop and saw several ns.


    Regarding the choice of partnerpanies, Izabe browsed through the list but didn''t see the


    Felton Group.


    She took a deep breath, realizing that the Felton Group wasn''t on Windham Group''s list, and she


    had to n for the long run.


    After finishing reading the files, Izabe closed herputer and sent Liam a message, "Rest early


    and we''ll discuss it at work tomorrow."


    Liam texted back: Cool.


    Izabe took out arge handful of pills from the drawer and swallowed them all at once, She used


    to be so afraid of taking medicine, but now she can already swallow it in one gulp, and she even got


    used to the bitterness in her throat.After taking the medicine, she felt drowsy.


    When Brett came into the room after taking a shower, he sat on the bed and stroked Izabe''s hair.


    Recalling how Izabe had told him at the restaurant that she regretted forcing him to marry her, his


    heart clenched. If they hadn''t married, he would probably be with Kaley now, and Izabe would be


    with someone else. But there were no what-ifs. They were married, and she would be his forever.


    Being drunk, Brett''s emotions were a bit out of control. He ultimately pressed Izabe under him


    and ced his arm around her neck.


    Fully aware that escaping was futile, Izabe pushed against his chest, saying, "Take precautions, I


    don''t want to take birth control pills."
