Chapter 144: Chapter 144

144 Lost in Happiness

“You forget to fasten your seat belt,” Lukas pulled out the seat belt beside her and said a little crossly, “You’re still like a kid.”

Isabella opened her eyes.

The light inside dimmed down, “Thank you, Lukas.”

“Don’t need to thank me!”

Lukas smiled and pinched her nose. She felt his hot breath softly fanning her neck.

“Ok.”

Isabella lowered his head. Lukas drove away...

It was too much to hope for his love. Her secret crush on him would be fruitless.

From his eyes, she saw that Lukas didn’t love her.

.....

...

At the biggest department store of Peace City.

Lukas bought two sets of expensive clothes for Isabella, a total of 30,000 dollars.

That was a lot for Isabella.

Although Isabella did not want to accept such an expensive gift, Lukas said that he was her family member. If she refused to accept this gift, it meant that she regarded him as an outsider.

Yes, he was her family member.

Isabella accepted, “Then I borrow it from you. When I make money in the future, I will return it to you.”

“Alright.”

Lukas was a little helpless, “You’re a little stubborn...”

Lukas went to pay the bill, and Isabella looked across from him through the luxuriously decorated glass.

“How about having delicious food at noon?”

Lukas walked over after settling the bill and saw that Isabella was in a daze. He looked in the direction she was looking at and hesitated for a moment, “Do you want to eat ice cream?”

“No.”

Isabella came back to her senses and hastily denied with her head down, “I’m not a child...”

Lukas carefully looked at Isabella. “But your face is red.”

“It’s because I saw the doll at the door...”

Isabella weakly argued, “I don’t want to eat ice cream.”

“But I want to eat.”

Lukas smiled and saw through Isabella’s thoughts. He pulled her hand and said, “Let’s go! Accompany me to eat ice cream!”

Ten minutes later, Isabella sat on a bench outside the ice cream shop, one hand holding an ice cream, her eyes filled with happiness.

“How does it taste?”

Lukas also held one in his hand, but he didn’t have much appetite for it. However, he looked at Isabella with a smile.

“The strawberry one tastes sour and sweet, and the matcha one tastes a bit bitter but refreshing. Both of them taste good.”

Isabella licked the ice cream with her eyes shining with excitement as if she found a new continent.

“If you like it, we will often come over to eat it.”

Lukas stroked Isabella’s head and said, “If you eat too much, you will have an upset stomach. You can only eat two today. Next time, I’ll buy you ice cream and a chocolate one.”

“Alright.”

Isabella nodded with all her might. She was fully lost in the happiness.

“Later, we...”

Just as Lukas was about to speak, his phone suddenly rang. He took the phone and frowned slightly. Then, he said, “Isabella, eat first. I’ll go pick up the phone.”

“Alright.”

Isabella did not sense something wrong, and now her heart was filled with the happiness of the ice cream.

How long had it been since she had ice cream last time?

The last time was a few days before his father was killed in an accident.

His father took her to the beach and bought her a straw hat and a white gauze dress, dressed her up like a princess, and then bought her an ice cream.

At that time, although the ice cream was only of milk flavor, the fragrance and sweetness were wonderful.

Afterward, his father had an accident. Her family owed a huge debt, and her mother had to deal with all kinds of people all day long.

How could her mother have the energy to care about her, and how could she have the extra money to buy an inexpensive ice cream?

Later she moved into the Smith’s, and it’s impossible to eat ice cream there. Although she had some money after entering college, how could she be willing to spend it on snacks?

Therefore, she was especially fanatical about food. The moment that she was having delicious food she felt that she was in happiness.

She hadn’t eaten ice cream since 17 years ago.

Now its flavor was so rich, and the creamy one was so good and sweet.

As she recalled the past, Isabella looked up and saw a white dress with pendant beads in the shop window beside her.

She couldn’t help but walk over with the ice cream in her hand and through the glass looked at the dress carefully.

It was so beautiful that it was exactly the same as the dress she saw when she was a child.

She thought when she would get rich in the future, she must buy such a dress, take a few ice creams, and bring her mother to the seaside.

If her father was alive, seeing that she was still a little princess, he would have been very happy...

“Rosy, what are you excited about?”

Lukas stood at the corner and answered the phone. “I’m just out with a friend,” he said softly.

“Then tell me, who are you with?!”

“It’s just a colleague. You won’t know even if I tell you.” Lukas frowned, “Rosy, you’ve been a little sensitive lately.”

“No, Lukas ... I’m afraid, afraid that you’ll leave me.”

“It’s just pre-wedding jitters.”

Lukas caught a glimpse of Isabella looking at a dress inside. He was a little absent-minded, “It’s fine, darling, I love you very much. I definitely won’t leave you, just like you did at that time. I’ll never betray you.”

“Lukas...” Rosy’s voice sounded pitiful.

“Alright, I still need to deal with my work.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lukas gave her a kiss, “Stop overthinking. We are about to get engaged. You need to be a beautiful bride.”

“Yes.”

Lukas hung up the phone and hurriedly walked towards Isabella with a doting smile on his face, “Do you like that dress?”

As he spoke, he naturally hugged Isabella’s waist and said, “Let’s go. I will buy it for you.”

“No!”

Isabella blushed and said, “I just...”

“Is that Lukas?” Suddenly, a scream came from afar.

“Too bad! Someone recognized me!”

Although Lukas wore sunglasses, he didn’t expect to be recognized. He hurriedly let go of Isabella and said, “I have to leave first, otherwise I will be blocked later.”

Isabella hurriedly ran away and said, “Isabella, you go back by yourself. Keep yourself safe!”

“Lukas, slow down. Be careful!”

Before Isabella could finish her words, three girls screamed and chased after him...

...

Isabella smiled and shook her head. Then, she continued to eat the two ice creams happily before leaving...

At the same time, at a corner not far away, a dozen people in suits stood aside. They confusedly looked at their boss who suddenly stopped in front of them.

“Selina, go buy the white dress in the middle of the display case and put it in my car.”

.....

The person who came was Joseph. He came to inspect his company. He stared at where Isabella had stood. “Also, go that ice cream shop and tell them to send barrels of each flavor of ice cream to the manor before dinner.”
