"I want to talk to Mommy about girl stuff," Isabella continued to persuade him. She would have just taken Cynthia away if she could, but she knew she was no match for Matthew. "It isn't something I can discuss with Luther.""You can talk to Annie and the others," Matthew suggested. "Annie and the others don't have experience in this area, only Mommy is suitable," Isabella excused, feeling annoyed."Aren't you close to Auntie Riley and Auntie Gaby? They're also suitable." Matthew saw through her intentions and followed Cynthia's request to reject the idea.Isabella complained, "It seems you just don't want me to be alone with Mommy.""I thought I made it clear enough," Matthew replied naturally.Isabella wanted to say something but realized that no matter what she said, her old man seemed to have a comeback.Amidst various emotions, she could only say, "You've been together for so many years. Don't you get tired of each other if you're together every day?""As long as I'm with

Isaiah sat on the nearby sofa, contemplating for a while before saying, "There's something I want to discuss with you."Isabella took a seat on the single sofa next to him. "What is it? Do you need my help to pursue a girl, or do you want me to move out to give you two some alone time?" "I just met her yesterday," Isaiah explained briefly.Isabella made a bold guess, "A one-night stand?"Isabella rolled his eyes at her.Isabella argued, "Hey, if you don't tell me the reason, I can only spectate. After all, with your personality, you wouldn't bring someone here after knowing them for just one day.""She wants me to marry her." Isaiah got straight to the point.Isabella was puzzled, but she did not rush to ask. In usual situations, if a girl asked Isaiah to marry her, he would just ignore it, certainly not bring her home. "Do you think Mom and Dad would approve of my whirlwind marriage?" Isaiah asked.Isabella was stunned and blurted out, "You want to marry her?""I'm conside

"Just in case you take screenshots of our chat and send them to Mom and Dad," Isaiah stated directly.Isabella knew Isaiah could be infuriating when he wanted to be, but she did not expect him to be so calculative. "Well, unfortunately for you, your precautions won't work. I'll copy the dashcam footage and send it to them.""Thanks for the heads up," Isaiah said.Isabella was even more puzzled."I've deleted it already. Next time, remember to back it up before telling me about this kind of thing," Isaiah informed her."You're so annoying!" Isabella scolded him and hung up in frustration.[Isaiah: If you help me this time, I'll delete all your embarrassing videos.][Isabella: Whatever.]If he dared to reveal her embarrassing videos to Luther, she would tell her parents about him!Thinking this, Isabella promptly booked a flight to Jiverton since there was not much for her to do in Nexuria. Moreover, the project she had previously been responsible for was running smoothly.She

Luther visibly relaxed, and his reaction did not go unnoticed by Isabella, who grew more suspicious. "Luther.""Hmm?" Luther was always ready to answer her questions."Are you hiding something from me? Don't lie to me; be honest." Isabella was always straightforward, not liking things to be left unspoken.Luther paused in the midst of eating, evidently surprised by her question. Isabella kept her eyes on him."There is something, but I can't tell you right now," Luther, aware of her personality, confessed with some reservations. "Why?" Isabella pressed for an explanation.Luther said, "I can't say."Isabella stared at him, her mind beginning to wander. Something that needed to be kept from her… could it be a proposal?"Is it a proposal?" Isabella tentatively asked.Luther was shocked but did not show it. "No. Do you want me to propose to you?""No, not yet. So, what are you keeping from me?" Isabella, thinking about her own proposal plans, decisively shifted the topic to

Joshua was caught off guard, and his mind went blank for a moment. His initial reaction was that Luther could not possibly have revealed his secret proposal plans to Isabella. If he had, he would not be dropping her off here."Did he tell you this?" Joshua quickly calmed himself down and asked her in a composed manner."Mmhmm. He said he took leave to prepare for a proposal." Isabella kept the details vague, wary of potential slip-ups.Joshua chuckled.Isabella was confused. "Why are you laughing?" "If you really want Luther to propose to you, I can discreetly convey the message. I can also let him hand over his work to me," Joshua assured her.Isabella got to the point. "But didn't you say it's important?""It is, but no matter how important, it's not more significant than the happiness you desire. The company is stable now, and taking a short break won't cause much loss," Joshua replied. "Is he really busy with work?" Isabella was surprised.Joshua looked at her and teased
