Chapter 663


    “Hello, the person you called is unavable. Please try againter.” It was the fifth time I called


    Christopher but failed to reach him. If my memory served me right, Christopher hadn’t mentioned or


    even hinted at going on a mission before he left.


    Why can’t I get through? What on earth is going on? Could it be that Christopher is indeed on a


    mission? Otherwise, why didn’t he let me tell Mark his whereabouts? After all, Mark is my father.


    Anyway, perhaps there is something sensitive that I shouldn’t know about.


    Later, I drafted a text message on my phone. In it, I asked Christopher to be careful and remember that


    I would be waiting for him at home.


    Feeling that the draft wasn’t good enough, I rewrote it to sound overbearing. Christopher, since you’re


    my right-hand man, I have a lot of things to assign to you. Remember toe back early. Also,


    remember that I am your chairman.


    After sending the message, I put the phone aside and went to the kitchen. Since Tobey showed upte


    at the cafe, I only managed to have some appetizers before Flora came and used me of being a


    homewrecker.


    When the doorbell rang, I opened the door and was shocked to see Isabelle. It was the first time she


    visited me ever since I moved out from the Goldstein residence.


    I weed her into the house and asked, “Mom, do you prefer coffee or tea?”


    “It’s okay. I won’t take up too much of your time. Are you having ate-night snack?” She was surprised


    to see food on the table.


    “It’s my dinner.” I shrugged. Noticing that Isabelle frowned, I added, “I didn’t ignore Tobey. On the


    contrary, he showed upte and his girlfriend ruined our dinner. Do you know how embarrassed I was?


    His girlfriend kneeled before me right away and begged me tearfully not to separate them.”

    “Did you say Tobey’s girlfriend crashed the party?”


    Isabelle was surprised by the dramatic turn of events. After remaining silent for a while, she finally said,


    “Well, who doesn’t have past romantic rtionships? Since Tobey is an outstanding man, it’s nothing


    unusual for other women to fall for him. It’s fine as long as he doesn’t betray you after marriage.”


    Isabelle refused to give up on matchmaking us. Feeling a headache, I replied, “It appears that I’m the


    homewrecker now. Besides, I think Tobey isn’t fond of me. I mean, he has fixed his gaze on Flora ever


    since she showed up. Under such circumstances, our marriage might turn out to be miserable.”


    “I’ll talk to Tobey to resolve the problem.” Nheless, Isabelle was seemingly unbothered by what


    happened.


    “You can’t resolve it right away, can you?” I murmured. Since Tobey doesn’t like me anyway, why does


    Mom want me to marry him?


    “The Osborns won’t let an unworthy woman marry into their family. Given that you’re a Goldstein, I


    believe they won’t mistreat you.”


    The way Isabelle worded her sentences made me feel like I would very soon marry Tobey. I was


    hungry before Isabe came over but lost my appetite after having the conversation. Well, I guess I’ll


    go on a diet today! I put the te back on the table and heaved a sigh silently. Then, I tried to change


    the subject of the conversation. “Dad was happy when I delivered lunch for him this afternoon.”


    “By the way, what’s your dad’s opinion about putting me in charge of the Kenfort project? Has he


    agreed to it? And your dad won’t call for a board meeting to remove me from my vice president


    position, will he?” Isabelle finally stopped talking about Tobey and asked me nervously.
