Isabella hesitated for a moment and finally answered the phone. “Carly?” Isabella called out hesitantly.

“Isabella, are you still at home now?” Carly asked.

Isabella nodded. “Yes.”

“What about Adrian?” Carly asked again.

Isabella didn’t say anything.

After a long silence on the phone, Carly finally spoke again. “Isabella, I’ve checked it out. The Carter family doesn’t seem to be the kind of people we thought they were. Do you know Becky and Charlie? There’s a lot of news about them on the internet, especially about Becky. I think there should be no issue with the Carter family.”

Isabella listened quietly to Carly’s nagging. Eventually, she was in a trance and didn’t know what Carly was saying. Isabella had also investigated the Carter family. After finding out Adrian was from that family, she researched and found a lot of information. She felt mixed emotions after learning about Adrian’s younger sister, Becky.

But what really made her angry was that Adrian had lied to her on purpose. She had told him she hated lies! She was so furious that it would take at least three days to calm

down.

And not only that, Isabella was also worried if someone like her could really be with someone of that status. If they were together, would the Carter family look down on her?

After talking on the phone for a long time, Carly finally stopped. Isabella understood that Carly thought Adrian was a good person and that she was just trying to reassure

her.

“Carly, I know,” Isabella said. “Don’t worry about me. I’ll handle it.” After a few more words, she hung up.

After finishing the call, Isabella came out of her room and found that the dining table had already been cleared. Adrian was wearing an apron and washing dishes in the kitchen.

Looking at Adrian’s back, Isabella couldn’t help but think back to when Adrian first came into her and Damian’s life. At that time, Adrian didn’t know anything and couldn’t do anything well. He worked hard to learn how to do housework and take responsibility

for the family. Because she saw his efforts and changes with her own eyes, she gradually began to accept him.

But she didn’t expect Adrian to have such a distinguished background.

Adrian washed the dishes and put them into the cabinet. When he turned around, he accidentally saw Isabella standing outside looking at him. He froze for a moment, then his eyes brightened with surprise.

Isabella immediately looked away and left.

After dinner, it was time to go out for a walk. Isabella called Damian and was ready to go out. Adrian took off his apron and followed them.

Isabella still ignored him, but Adrian felt that he still had hope. Since she hadn’t asked him to leave, it meant there was still a chance between them, and they wouldn’t completely part ways.

Isabella naturally noticed Adrian. She ignored him and went downstairs with Damian. However, Damian would turn around to look at Adrian every few steps.

Seeing Damian look back at him frequently, Adrian’s heart softened. Damian was usually not very affectionate with him and was closer to Isabella. He hadn’t expected Damian to show concern after the argument with Isabella. Remembering that it was Damian who had opened the door for him earlier, Adrian realized that Damian must have helped. With this in mind, Adrian smiled at Damian, who was walking ahead.

When Damian looked back at Adrian again, he was surprised to see him smiling happily. Feeling uneasy, Damian quickly averted his gaze and stopped looking back at Adrian.

‘So cute,‘ Adrian thought to himself as he looked at Damian. Although Damian didn’t speak much, after spending a year together, it was clear that he cared about him.

Thinking of this, Adrian went up and took Isabella’s hand in his. No matter how much she struggled, he held on tightly and didn’t let go. Looking down at her with a smile, he said, “Isabella, let’s take Damian to Celestial Park.”

Isabella was angry and embarrassed when Adrian suddenly held her hand, and she was about to struggle. But when she heard him mention Celestial Park, she was taken aback and looked bewildered.

Damian also raised his head and looked at Adrian in confusion.

Adrian smiled and said, “Damian is young. It’s good for him to go out and see the

world.” Isabella was a good mother. If it was for the sake of Damian, she wouldn’t refuse.

In fact, Adrian was right. Isabella’s lips moved, but in the end, she didn’t refuse. Damian wasn’t just her son but also Adrian’s. She had heard of Celestial Park. It was beautiful, but the tickets were very expensive. One of her friends had taken their child there during vacation. She had also thought about it, but in the end, she couldn’t bring herself to spend the money. But for Adrian, that shouldn’t be a problem.

“Okay?” Adrian continued asking.

Isabella’s ears turned red inexplicably. Instead of answering Adrian, she looked down at Damian and asked, “Do you want to go?”

“Where is that place?” Damian was confused.

Adrian looked at Damian and said with a smile, “It’s a very interesting place. There are many beautiful stars in it.”

Although Damian was usually shy, he liked beautiful things just like other kids. Hearing Adrian’s words, his eyes immediately lit up with excitement.

“Let’s go

back first and drive there together.” Holding Isabella’s hand, Adrian looked at Damian and walked back. His car was still downstairs. He needed to get back to his car.

Isabella looked at Damian and didn’t refuse. She followed Adrian.

The three of them went downstairs. Adrian thoughtfully opened the back door for Isabella and Damian. Then, he went to the driver’s seat, started the car, and set off.

On the way to the park, Adrian’s eyes were sparkling, and he couldn’t suppress the smile on his face. He was very happy!

Forty minutes later, they finally arrived at their destination. Adrian parked the car and immediately took Isabella and Damian to buy tickets.

Damian was three years old, and because Isabella had always lived frugally, he had never been to such a beautiful place. As soon as he entered the venue, Damian’s eyes lit up. Isabella was also amazed, but she was more curious about Damian’s reaction. Raising him, her biggest regret was not being able to provide a better living environment for him.

“Mommy, it’s so beautiful here!” Damian said, looking around with excitement. His eyes had never been so bright.

Isabella knew and nodded. “Yes,”
