Chapter 249


    Fireworks suddenly exploded in the air, finally attracting the attention of all the citizens in Dellmoor.


    It was seven o''clock in the evening—a time when all the citizens had just finished their dinner. With the


    helicopters circling above the city, the screen on Larson Corporation''s building, and the fireworks at the


    square, even those who were still working halted and looked up to the sky.


    Isabe''s eyes reddened, as she was moved by the performance.


    That night, the whole of Dellmoor was buzzing with life like the night on New Year''s Eve.


    Marilyn had temporarily forgotten about the picture she had taken of Harold and a beauty in a


    Horington restaurant. She was so moved that she urged Isabe, “Give him a call!”


    “Okay!” Isabe choked out, nodding at the same time.


    The fuzzy feeling of being loved and cared for bubbled in her heart.


    Harold had left a deeper impression on her mind, and the God of War had be less important to


    her.


    Just when Isabe was about to dial Harold''s number, he was already one step ahead and had dialed


    hers.


    He stood outside Marilyn''s house, looking up at Isabe, who was on the balcony.


    “Darling, I''m here to pick you up. Pleasee down. I''m waiting right outside Marilyn''s house,” he


    announced with a deep voice as soon as the call connected.


    The moment Isabe heard that, she immediately nced down from the balcony and met his eyes.


    In an instant, Isabe felt as if she had been struck by electricity.

    It was a magical feeling. They had only exchanged nces, yet the feeling was stronger than what she


    had felt at her grandmother''s ce when their bodies touched.


    “Harold, tell me the truth. How much money did my dad give you? Helicopter, fireworks... How much


    money did you spend?”


    Truth was, Isabe was extremely touched, and she wanted to respond with sweet words. However,


    her words came out differently from what she had in mind.


    Cheesy words were not something she could bring herself to say, and she ended up asking Harold how


    much money he had spent.


    “Be, what... did you just say to Harold?” Marilyn gaped at Isabe when she heard her words.


    She had thought Isabe would say something cheesy when she saw her tearing up. Never did she


    expect her to say something like that.


    “I... don''t know what happened. I-It just slipped out of my mouth,” Isabe stammered, not knowing how


    to exin the situation. With that, she hung up the call right away.


    “What...” Marilyn was rendered speechless. I know she''s never been in a rtionship, but surely she''s


    watched some dramas before?


    “What should I do now?” asked Isabe, casting Marilyn an anxious nce.


    “I don''t know! He''s already waiting for you down there. Just go with the flow.”


    Marilyn was too embarrassed to give Isabe any advice when she saw Harold had arrived outside her


    house.


    She let Isabe make her own decisions.


    After mulling it over, Isabe gave Harold a call.


    “Harold, I''m honestly quite touched by your gestures tonight, but some things need time. Can you give


    me some time?”


    Isabe sounded as if she was pleading.
