Luther forcibly pulled Isabella's hands away, transforming into an entirely different person. "You like me, huh?""Yes." Isabella nodded.Luther continued, "No matter what I'm like, you won't leave?"Isabella nodded again. "Mmhmm."Luther pursed his thin lips, holding back the impending breakdown. He wanted to tell her his true thoughts but feared it might scare her away. Moreover, the original purpose of his return was to make her see the real him and run away. Yet..."If I ask you to give yourself to me right now, would you?" Luther simply went straight to the aspect she would find most challenging to accept."Sure, why not?" Isabella, holding his hand, walked toward the bedroom. As they walked, she continued, "But after that, you must marry me."Luther locked eyes with her, trying to discern if she was putting on a brave front. However, it did not seem like she was acting at all. While he was lost in these thoughts, Isabella's hand wrapped around his neck, and she tiptoed t

Isabella went on and on, explaining everything to Luther. Knowing that Luther lacked a sense of security and was not much of a talker, Isabella had thought of everything without being asked. She genuinely liked him and cared deeply for him."That's all I can think of for now. If you have any other concerns, feel free to bring them up." Isabella summarized, adding, "Starting now, I'll keep my distance from Jojo and Nick. Similarly, you should keep your distance from other girls."Naturally, Isabella understood that merely providing him with a sense of security was not enough. Given Luther's current situation, he would surely hope she would have a unique possessiveness toward him too, and only then would he feel secure.Just as Isabella had expected, her assurance warmed Luther's heart. However, it was still somewhat incomplete. It was not until Isabella made her own requests that he truly felt loved."Why aren't you saying anything? You don't want to agree to it?" Isabella asked k

The two of them stayed for a while before Isabella and Isaiah finally left. After seeing them off, Luther sat on the sofa, reflecting on everything that had happened that day. It felt so surreal.Luther initially thought he would lose control of his emotions and scare her away, but Isabella managed to calm him down. That was something he never anticipated.Ding![Isabella: Dear, you can trust me and rely on me. Don't worry about me leaving you because you're the only person I've liked since the very beginning.]Luther's gaze softened. He pursed his lips, contemplating before finally taking the risk.If this worked out, it would be just as he always wanted; if it failed, it would be another irreversible loss. [Luther: Okay.]Isabella's eyes lit up when she received the message, genuinely overjoyed. Isaiah raised an eyebrow and uttered, "Do you want to take a look at how ridiculous you're right now?" "I'm just in love. You wouldn't understand," Isabella retorted. Isai

After all, she was now an adult, and he could not excessively meddle with her life. Isabella cleared her throat, asking, "Can we just say I'm dating Luther without mentioning his condition?""What do you think?" Isaiah replied.Isabella giggled and playfully replied, "Of course we can!"Isaiah turned serious and said, "No, you can't. Before, you promised to tell them about Luther's situation if I told you why Luther disappeared. I did as you said and helped you with the other things you asked. Don't you think you should..."Before he could finish his sentence about fulfilling promises, Isabella started to pout. "But Isaiah...""If you don't tell them, I'll do it," Isaiah said firmly, not allowing room for negotiation."Give me another month. If Luther's situation improves after a month, our parents won't worry. If it hasn't improved, I'll still tell them," Isabella negotiated with a somewhat aggrieved expression, Isaiah said nothing.Isabella softened her tone and begged aga

"Good boy!" Isabella praised him through the video call, almost wanting to reach through the screen to pat his head, "It's getting late; you should go to bed soon."After Luther agreed and wished her good night, Isabella placed her phone on the bedside table to charge, setting the alarm for an early morning wake-up. She could not afford to break that promise since she had promised to pick him up.The night passed peacefully, and Isabella had a restful sleep. She was up before seven in the morning, readying herself and packing the breakfast Fiona had prepared in advance. Then, she took the breakfast and headed out.Around seven forty, Isabella arrived at Luther's doorstep. With one hand holding the breakfast, she pressed the doorbell with the other. Having just finished his morning run and shower, Luther absentmindedly threw on a shirt, assuming it was Roderick at the door. When he saw Isabella standing outside, he was shocked. "Good morning, my beloved boyfriend. Are you going t
