The next morning, Isabe woke up to find Victoria bustling around in the kitchen.


    She called out “Mom” and heard Victoria casually asking her to call Seth to join them for


    breakfast.


    Isabe was surprised. “Mom, how are you?”


    Victoria turned around nkly, quickly making noodles. “I’m fine. What could possibly


    be wrong with me?”


    It was a brief moment of forgetfulness after a seizure, just like before.


    Isabe took a deep breath, went back to her room to freshen up, and then went


    backyard to find Seth.


    It was only eight o’clock, and Seth was already working. When Isabe entered, she


    heard him on the phone.


    She didn’t make a sound, waiting for Seth to hang up before she spoke, “Mr. Shaffer, my


    mother would like to invite you to have breakfast.”


    Seth looked up. “Didn''t you say | shouldn’t see your mother?”


    Isabe forced a smile. “My mother is emotionally unstable, and your special status


    could easily cause misunderstandings.”


    Seth understood what she meant, hummed lightly, closed his notebook, and walked out


    with one hand in his pocket.


    Isabe followed him, stopping him in front of the vi.


    “Could you please be careful with your words?”


    Seth frowned. “What do you mean?”


    “My mother doesn’t know about our past, and she can’t know,” Isabe said tactfully.


    Seth looked down at her, his tone slightly annoyed. “What happened between us?”


    28


    He could tell that Isabe was reminding him that their past five years were not to be

    Isabe sighed in relief. “Thank you for your cooperation.”


    With that, she stepped aside.


    Seth’s expression remained cold. As he reached the door connecting the front a


    back yards, his face showed a slight change, preventing it from looking too rigid.


    As he pushed open the small door, Victoria was setting the table. Seeing hime


    she immediately looked uneasy.


    “Mr. Shaffer, please sit. I''ll go get some more food.”


    Seth cleared his throat. “Take your time.”


    “Alright.”


    Victoria hurried back to the kitchen and brought out arge bowl of porridge, serving a


    small bowl for Seth.


    Seth was quite polite and treated Victoria with courtesy.


    “Be must have caused you a lot of trouble. Please bear with her.”


    Isabe sat aside, nced at Seth, and then heard him say, “She hasn’t caused


    trouble. She works well and has helped me a lot.”


    Upon hearing this, Victoria’s face lit up with a smile, and she served Seth more food


    Isabe was worried that Seth didn’t like others being too enthusiastic and tried to


    signal Victoria several times, but Victoria didn’t notice.


    Surprisingly, Seth didn’t lose his temper and kept speaking kindly to Victoria.


    “Be is of marriageable age now,


    and I''m worried.” Victoria casually


    mentioned, then


    looked at Seth. “If you have any suitable assistants, please rmend them to Be.


    She always makes people worry. Last time, she had a blind date with a doctor, but there


    was no result.”


    Isabe felt a bit embarrassed and reminded her, “Mom.”


    Victoria didn’t care and kept looking at Seth.


    Seth’s face was pale, and he put down his spoon. “She’s already the president o


    branchpany. Do you think she’s only worthy of my assistant?”


    apter


    Victoria was taken aback and then


    gave a bitter smile. “For a family like


    ours, it’s already The content is on

    a great achievement for Be to be in


    this position. We dare not hope for


    her to marry a


    wealthy man as long as she’s safe and sound”


    Seth suddenly found the food tasteless.


    He could imagine that Victoria must have instilled this idea in Isabe from a young age


    that someone like her doesn’t need to aim too high.
