Chapter 156
Isabe had a restless sleep for a few hours and vaguely sensed someone
opening the door to her room. She rolled over, ignored it, and continued
sleeping.
It wasn’t until 6.00AM when her phone rm went off as usual that she
mumbled and reached for her phone with closed eyes.
However, instead of finding her phone, she touched something soft and furry.
She paused for a moment and then quickly woke up. She opened her eyes
abruptly and propped herself up.
She lowered her gaze and finally saw the head lying next to her bed…
Isabe took a deep breath and almost thought that she was dreaming. She
rubbed her eyes vigorously several times to confirm that it was indeed real.
“Mr. Shaffer?”
She tentatively called out, but the man lying there didn’t move at all.
When did hee back? There was no sound at all. His movements were as
quiet as a ghost.
Furthermore, why did hee back?
Isabe was bewildered, but she didn’t dare to speak loudly. She could
clearly see half of Seth’s face exposed outside his arm. He seemed to have
stayed up all night; the dark circles under his eyes were quite severe.
She pursed her lips, and as her gaze swept around, she suddenly noticed a
food container on the bedside table.
Was it takeout?
Isabe sniffed the air, and her eyes lit up as she recognized the aroma she
had been craving.
She was excited yet confused. She wondered why it took him all night to buy
a bowl of pasta.
Seth was lying next to her. If she moved too much, she would wake him up,
but the fragrance of the pasta permeated every corner, and it reminded
Isabe that if she didn’t eat it now, it might turn into a clump.
She licked her lips and slowly shifted her body before sitting up cautiously.
Seth remained in the same position and was still deeply asleep. It indicated
just how tired he was.
Isabe breathed a sigh of relief, reached for the container of pasta, and
started to slowly open it bit by bit.
As she opened a small gap, the aroma rushed out.
Her stomach rumbled, and she suddenly felt hungry despite not having an
appetite the previous day.
She felt a bit excited, so she was a bit too forceful when she lifted the lid and
tore it off with a snap.
The noise was too loud and woke up the “beast” next to her.
Seth emitted an impatient sigh while lifting his head slowly and ncing at
Isabe.
His eyes were bloodshot and mixed with irritation from being awakened. He
red at her fiercely, almost as if he wanted to open his mouth and swallow
Isabe whole.
Isabe nced at the clumped noodles in the container and then at Seth’s
chilling gaze. Then, her lips twitched uncontrobly.
She forced a smile while looking at Seth. “Good morning, Mr. Shaffer.”
Seth had only slept for two hours, and despite his regr exercise routine, his
body couldn’t handle the fatigue.
Moreover, his inappropriate words had angered his grandfather, which
resulted in him being hit twice by his walking stick, and his back was still
aching from it.
After being abruptly awakened by Isabe, he was initially in a bad mood, but
when he heard her greeting, it felt as if someone had gently brushed a
feather across his heart.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Isabe to confirm that he wasn’t
still half-asleep.
Over a month ago, when Isabe woke up beside him, she would say good
morning,’ but without any emotions. There was not even a fake smile like the
one she wore now.
When Isabe noticed Seth staring at her, she felt uneasy and couldn’t help
but swallow nervously. “Mr. Shaffer, when did youe?”
Upon listening to her voice, Seth regained his focus and irritably ran his hand
through his hair. “When you started snoring.”
Isabe was shocked. “That’s impossible. I don’t snore!”
Seth scoffed and reached for his phone. “I recorded it.”
Isabe was speechless.
She still didn’t quite believe it and nced at his phone.
Seth was exhausted as he yawned and looked displeased. He noticed
Isabe sneaking nces at his phone, so he quickly put it away.
“What are you looking at? Didn’t you want to eat the pasta?”

Isabe nced at the pasta and chuckled. “Mr. Shaffer, when did you buy
this?”
Seth replied, “Around 1.00AM or 2.00AM.”
She was speechless.
It was already 6.00AM, and the pasta was almost back to its doughy form!
“I’m not hungry now. Why don’t you eat first, Mr. Shaffer?” Isabe smiled
faintly.
Seth supported his chin with one hand and squintedzily. “I won’t eat without
washing up.”
She said, “But I-”

“You’re not that particr,” Sean interrupted coldly and cut off her retreat.
“You would even go downstairs in the middle of the night to eat leftovers in
the past.”
She gritted her teeth. It wasn’t easy to deal with someone she had shared a
bed with, especially when he knew her so well.
She held the food container and felt at a loss.
Seth licked his lips while looking at her sideways. “What’s wrong? I went to all
this trouble to get this for you, and you’re not going to eat?”
Isabe was feeling conflicted. On the one hand, she was surprised that Seth
actually went to buy pasta, which gave her a bit of sce as she realized he
still had some human decency. However, the state of the pasta now was a
-form of covert punishment.

Seth urged her. “Hurry up and eat.”
Isabe picked up the pasta and suddenly noticed that they were still warm.
She looked at Seth in confusion.
He leaned back with his arms crossed and looked slightly pleased. “Half an
hour ago, I had the nurse reheat it.”
Isabe was rendered speechless once more.
