Chapter 173


    After Isabe replied with that emoticon, the other party no longer responded


    to her. She hadn’t received anything even by the time she got home. Gordon


    parked the car once they arrived at Isabe’s, but he didn’t notice how she


    seemed to be engrossed in her phone. He kept the car doors locked as he


    remained in his seat with a frown on his face.


    Isabe looked up and put her phone away when she realized that they had


    arrived at her ce. “Thank you for driving me back,” she said. Out of


    nowhere, Gordon said, “Leonard is interested in you.” Isabe froze for a


    moment before looking at the serious expression on Gordon’s face. After a


    while, she burst outughing. “How is it possible that everyone seems to be


    interested in me?”


    Gordon scoffed. “Don’t you know how attractive you are?”


    Isabe shrugged as she held up the jellyfish container and swayed it under


    the dim street lights. “I can tell when men are attracted to my looks, but I


    never take them too seriously,” she replied. Gordon pressed his lips together.


    It seemed like Isabe was referring to Leonard, but he felt like she might also


    ex


    be referring to him.


    Isabe didn’t care what Gordon thought-she simply knocked on the car


    door while speaking. “Open up.” Gordon unlocked the doors with a gloomy


    look on his face. Once Isabe got out of the car, she leaned down and


    looked into the car once more. “Thank you, Gordon,” she said sincerely.


    He let out a sigh before wiping the gloomy look off his face. “I’lle over to


    pick you up tomorrow,” he said, leaning closer to the passenger’s side of the


    car. “Your family’s going to be busy tomorrow. You don’t have to pick me up.


    You can just send me an invitation, and I’lle over on my own tomorrow.”


    Isabe felt bad asking so much from Gordon.


    “Why would I be busy? Do you think those people are worth my time?” Gordon


    spun his steering wheel as he prepared to drive off. “You can go inside. I’ll pick


    you up tomorrow,” he said stubbornly. Isabe had no choice but to


    straighten up and take a step back. After winding up the window, Gordon


    drove off while Isabe watched as his car disappeared down the road.


    Then, Isabe turned around and walked into her house, shifting her focus


    back to her chat with Leonard. The two emoticons in the chat box made it Ox

    seem like they were having a staring contest, but it also seemed like they


    were just two clueless individuals looking at each other nkly. Isabe


    thought to herself, Maybe Leonard’s just another weirdo. She pursed her lips.


    and eventually put her phone away before heading up to her house.


    On the other end, Seth found himself stuck after receiving Isabe’s reply. It


    was true that he didn’t know how to flirt through text-he had only managed


    to seduce Isabe back then because her standards had been low. He had


    gotten lucky in the past. However, things were tougher for him now that


    Isabe had be more observant and adaptable around people.


    With the phone in Seth’s hands, the rest of the guys around him knew what


    was going on when they heard the vibration of the phone. Leonard turned


    around to look at Dariel and mouthed, “What’s happening?” Dariel responded


    by blinking his eyes, indicating that Seth was really bad at dirty texting.


    Leonard couldn’t understand the message at all. He thought to himself, What


    am I supposed to do? That’s my phone, and… we’ve arrived at Seth’s ce.


    The rest of the men had some drinks, and Leonard, being the only one who


    hadn’t drunk, was the designated driver. They had arrived at Seth’s housing


    area, but Seth remained still-he showed no intention of getting out of the


    car. The rest of the men waited for the phone to vibrate again, and they


    séemed more invested in this matter than in their own love lives.


    Eventually, Simon cleared his throat and turned to look at Seth. “It’s getting


    Simon said, trying to make things less awkward. “She left with Gordon earlier.


    Where could she be sleeping?” Seth muttered as he looked up.


    Simon didn’t know what to say after that. Seth frowned, clearly in a bad


    mood. He ended up deleting the chat before lowering the divider and tossing


    the phone back to Leonard. Then, he opened the door and got out of the car


    swiftly. The rest of the men exchanged curious nces once Seth left.


    Leonard quickly checked his phone to see what Seth had texted, but the chat


    box was empty. He thought to himself, Tsk… It’s just one reply. Seth is so petty!


    He doesn’t even want me to see a single text! In the end, Leonard put his


    phone away. “Hey, Seth, it’s Xavier’s mother’s 80th birthday tomorrow, and I


    think my brother is invited,” Leonard called out to Seth, remembering this


    matter.


    Seth was still standing by the side of the ear, and his tall shadow fell on the


    rose bushes beside him. His shadow appeared as elegant and haughty as


    himself. “What does that have to do with me?” Seth knitted his brows upon


    hearing Leonard’s words.


    I’m just letting you know. The Dunksteins might be a family of new money,


    but they’ve been doing well in recent years, and we might have a chance to


    work with them in the future,” Leonard muttered with a pout.


    Seth responded with a curt nod of acknowledgment before reaching in to


    grab his coat from the car. Then, he strode off toward his house. The


    discussions in the car began as soon as Seth walked off. The few men were a


    bunch of busybodies, and they could gossip better than the average woman.

    The car remained outside Seth’s housing area for a long time that night.
