Isabe thought to herself. Please don’t. It doesn’t matter if I ept the ring,
but your ring nearly sent me to heaven. She didn’t reply and looked at the
clock. “I’m fine now. Let’s go.”
Gordon noticed that she kept massaging her leg and was a little worried. “Is
your leg hurt?”
However, she didn’t want to stay in the hospital any longer than necessary
and forced herself to stand. “It’s just a small injury. It doesn’t hurt. I can walk.

He raised a brow and suggested, “Then, what do you think of supper?”
She was rendered speechless. I would rather stay in the hospital. Still, she
tamed her hair and nodded with a smile. “Sure.”

“What do you want to eat?” Gordon helped carry her things and followed her
closely. He was a totally different personpared to when she first met
him. She still remembered that he seemed like a womanizer with the way he
was acting.
She maintained an appropriate distance from him and said, “Let’s go for
pizza. It’s close by.”
“Sure.” Gordon wasn’t as picky as the other wealthy heirs. Before his father,
Xavier, made it big, it was quitemon for him to eat in small shops when
he was young.
They exited the hospital and grabbed a seat in the shop opposite the
hospital. Isabe noticed that there wasn’t a hint of difort on Gordon’s
face. Instead, he lookedfortable holding the pizza in his hand.

If the person sitting across from her were Seth, he would probably act like he
was faced with a formidable enemy and disinfect the chairs before finally
sitting down. So, Gordon was actually better inparison.
As she made that conclusion, Gordon had already ced an order. He got
two slices of pizza and emphasized that he didn’t want the red pepper kes.
“I frequented these types of ces when I was younger. Unfortunately, my
toxic friends thought it wasn’t ssy of me toe here after my father
became rich. After a while, I stoppeding,” he exined as he passed her
a tissue.
Isabe raised a brow in interest. “You actually know your friends are toxic?”
He scoffed in disdain, “I’m not dumb. I know they’re only around me for my
money.”

She gave him a thumbs up. “Smart.”

Gordon shrugged nonchntly and continued the conversation. The
awkward atmosphere between them finally disappeared like morning mist.
The pizza was served, and they gobbled it up as it was more satisfying than
their meal at The Red House.
After that, Gordon wanted to send Isabe home. Meanwhile, she was
hesitant to give him her address. “My ce isn’t tidy. I’ll stay in a hotel tonight
and return when the cleaner’s done cleaning tomorrow,” she lied through her
teeth.
Then, he teased her, “You don’t look that rich, but you don’t even do the
cleaning yourself?”
s, she couldn’t tell him the truth and answered as she got in the car, “It’s

He snapped his fingers. “I like that. What’s the point with penny-pinching?”
Isabe thought to herself. Whatever floats your boat since you’re the one
with a rich dad.
Gordon started the car, and they arrived at a popr hotel nearby. The
cheapest room for the night was 1500. She could feel her heart crying a river
but had to maintain a smile as the sound of money being deducted rang in
her ear.

She smiled and slid the card forward. “I have the money.”
He stared at her, utterly speechless. Finally, he had no choice but to keep his
card before asking quietly, “You’re not giving me the slightest chance, are
you?”
Isabe pretended not to hear his underlying meaning and registered herself
as she told him, “I owe you too much. I’m afraid I won’t be able to repay you.
He snorted and shoved his hands into his pockets without answering her.
Once she got the room card, she waved it at him. “I’ll head up now. You
should go home, too.”
Gordon pursed his lips. “I’ll leave after seeing you up.”

So, she had no choice but to allow him to tag along. Her mind was filled with
thoughts about what to do if he wanted to enter her room.
Ding. The elevator door slid open.
Isabe and Gordon were standing side by side and met eyes with two
people who were inside the elevator.
“Oh? You two are getting a room at this hour?” Dariel’s captivating eyes
glinted as his gaze fell on Isabe and Gordon with great interest.
Isabe was annoyed by his suggestive remark but was more interested in
the woman in his arms. That definitely wasn’t Bethany, whom she metst
time. However, this woman was a familiar celebrity whose name she couldn’t
quite recall at the moment.

“You sure are busy, Mr. Wells. You should look after your health,” Isabe
mocked as she entered the elevator.
Gordon didn’t have a positive impression of Seth and Dariel. So, he didn’t
bother answering. Instead, he leaned against the elevator wall once he
entered.
Dariel didn’t stop smiling. He was about to exit the elevator but suddenly
stopped in his tracks. It was as if he wanted to follow Isabe and Gordon.
“This hotel has a nice themed suite. Did you guys book it?” he suddenly asked
when the elevator doors closed.
Isabe rolled her eyes at the wall. “I’m the only one staying here. Mr.
Dunkstein is just escorting me.”

“Is that right?” Dariel drawled and looked at Gordon with a smirk. “Tsk. Tsk. You
sure are righteous.”
She shut her eyes and made a gesture toward Gordon behind Dariel’s back,
telling him not to respond.
To her surprise, Gordon simply harrumphed and actually listened to her as he
ignored Dariel.
