Chapter 65 The pen in Nathanâs hand slipped and fell onto the desk.
His chest rose and fell unevenly, and his emotions began to stir with agitation.
âWho is that man?â
Regardless of whether Isabella was truly cheating or not, in Nathanâs eyes, the fact that she was getting too close to another man was enough to embarrass him.
Mooreâs mother replied, âI donât know his name, but I know heâs tall, very thin, wears sunglasses, and a Givenchy suit, with a very expensive diamond watch.
Heâs very protective of Isabella. When I just ruffled her hair a little, he went mad and pushed me away.
Itâs clear that he cares about my daughter a lot.â
Nathanâs face darkened in an instant.
Although he didnât care much for Isabella, the thought of another man fulfilling the role of caring for herâthe role that should belong to him as her husbandâignited a possessive jealousy within him.
Mooreâs motherâs gaze lingered on Nathan, assessing him.
âSonâinâlaw, that man looks either very rich or of high status, and heâs very handsome.
Chapter 65 His demeanor is not at all inferior to yours.â
The last part of her sentence completely triggered him:
âMore importantly, heâs even willing to support me for Isabella... and I think Isabella really cares about him.â
Nathan suddenly snapped, hurling the glass on his desk across the room.
Even though he didnât love Isabella, his male pride could not accept the betrayal of her affections.
âIsabella, if you dare to be unfaithful to me, I will never forgive you!â
He spoke with bitter rage.
But he forgot one thingâhe was the one who had been unfaithful to her first.
The night sky was clear and peaceful.
Isabella and Theodore sat on a bench by the moat, the two of them silent for a long time.
After a while, Isabella turned her head and spoke to Theodore.
âTheodore, you donât need to worry about my mom.
No matter how much you give her, sheâll never be satisfied.â
Isabellaâs gaze drifted towards a small hill in the distance, her eyes filled with sorrow and despair, as if looking through time into a decaying past.
Chapter 65 âEven if I gave my life for her, she wouldnât appreciate a single bit of it.â
Theodore suddenly reached out and gently took her trembling hand.
He could deeply empathize with her feeling of despair, as he too had been abandoned by his father, despite doing nothing wrong, merely because he was born to a woman his father didnât love.
âSis, you are great.â
He said softly, the short phrase carrying an immense sense of strength.
Yes, she had once thought herself worthless under her fatherâs neglect and her motherâs harshness.
But after seeing more of the world and experiencing different things, she had finally realized just how exceptional she was.
Her parentsâ lack of love was not her fault.
âYou are the most important person to me,â he whispered, his head resting gently on her shoulder as he teasingly added, âsis, you need to spend more time with me from now on.â
A man who was both elegant and sinister, righteous yet wicked, mature yet innocentâsuddenly acting so childishly was something Isabella could not resist.
âYes, you are the most important person to me,â she replied, her hand gently ruffling his dark, shiny hair as if he were her pet.
Suddenly, Theodore cupped her face in his hands, forcing her to Chapter 65 17288 (Voucher look at him.
âsis, not just now.
In the future, I will always be the most important person to you.
And you will always be the most important person to me.â
Isabella froze, startled by his actions.
The look in his eyes reminded her of the one Nathan often gave Victoria an attentive tenderness that only a man who deeply cared for a woman, could express.
She awkwardly pulled away from his grasp.
âTheodore, thereâs a limit to how close men and women can be,â she said gently, yet firmly, as if giving him a kind but necessary lesson.
Theodore froze for a moment, his grip loosening slightly.
But in the next second, his hands became like clamps, firmly holding her face in his palms.
âMen and women canât be close? When you saved me back then, you saw all of me.
Weâve already been completely honest with each other.
Iâve already considered you my closest family.â
His straightforwardness, unashamed and open, made Isabella feel a deep sense of shame.
She had been seeing him as that charismatic man from a |
