Chapter 430

Isabella had no intention of playing this role. However, Seth, the scoundrel, refused to take the initiative. It was clear that he was waiting for her to make a move.

She shrugged and smiled at Ariana. “Ms. Years, do you ever go on dates?”

Ariana was taken aback. “What?”

Isabella continued, “Do you enjoy going on dates to watch movies? It can be disappointing if we miss the beginning of the film due to interruptions from other people.”

Ariana stood frozen in place.

She felt overwhelmed by everything that was happening today. Each development seerned to hit her directly and was completely beyond her comprehension. Although she opened her mouth, she struggled to find the right words to express her thoughts.

“Your uncle is not Mr. Shaffer’s uncle. Why hair away from her cheek and turned to smile at Seth, “Yo promised to watch a movie with me. If we happen to miss this one, you’ll owe me ten.”

Seth was annoyed by Isabella’s sweet and clingy tones. But for some reason, when it came from Isabella, he felt at ease.

Should I buy you a movie theater?”

Isabella pouted. “That seems like too much trouble. Why not have someone bring the master tape home, and we can watch it there?”

“Sounds good.”

Ariana stood off to the side, observing their affectionate interaction, her hand clenched tightly at her side.

She knew w that Seth had been injured, but she didn’t know the specifics of his injury.

She approached with genuine concern, only to be taken aback by the unexpected treatment she received.

After calming Isabella down, Seth glanced at Ariana and said, “See you next time when you’re free.”

This was also a way for Ariana to step back.

Ariana loosened her clenched hand, and her face regained its color. “Alright, I’ll ask you out alone next time.”

“Let’s go.” Isabella looked impatient, subtly let go of Seth’s hand, and walked forward with her arm around his waist.

Ariana watched as she “dragged” Seth away. Unable to utter a word, she could only stand there and stare.

Seth left with Isabella in his arms.

They encountered several acquaintances on the way to the parking lot, all of whom Isabella avoided by acting cute and silly.

From the venue to the parking lot, it felt like a journey filled with obstacles.

Finally, in the car, Isabella leaned heavily on the seat, gasping for breath.

Just as she was about to speak, Seth’s suppressed voice came through.

“Go.”

Upon hearing this, Jordan immediately instructed the driver to start the car.

Isabella didn’t even have time to take a sip of water; she turned to look at Seth and was immediately frightened.

His face had turned from pale to ashen. His forehead was covered in fine sweat, which slid down to his lips, staining them a purplish color. He looked seriously ill.

She cradled Seth’s body, refraining from saying much. It felt as though with each breath, Seth’s soul teetered on the brink of being blown away.

As the car drove toward the mansion, their breathing could be heard in the silence.

As they were almost home, Isabella thought Seth had passed out.

But he suddenly spoke, “Who did you learn that from just now?”

Isabella frowned, surprised that he was still paying attention to this. She casually replied, “It’s a woman’s nature. Every woman knows how to do it.”

Seth asked, “Then why didn’t you act like that before?”

Isabella replied nonchalantly, “There was no need for it.”

Seth hummed, “So, is this like having a sword but choosing not to wield it?”

Isabella rolled her eyes. She reminded Jordan to drive the car directly indoors and then called for the family doctor.

By the time the doctor arrived, Seth was really on the verge of fainting.

Isabella stepped aside, watching as he was carried upstairs.

The faint smell of blood in the air reminded her of how seriously Seth was injured.
