Chapter 835

“Mm, okay. I know you’re the best,” Ysabelle murmured, continuing to cuddle close to Felix.

Having the girl he liked so much in his arms, Felix could barely control himself. At that moment, he longed to pin her down and shower her with kisses.

“You enchanting little vixen. You’ve no idea I’m already completely bewitched by you,” he said. I’m a grown man and a little older than her, yet I find it hard to control myself whenever I’m with her. I’m always hoping I can give her the best of everything.

As for Ysabelle, not only was she undaunted, but she even carried on teasing him and deliberately bit his chin.

“Really? Do you truly love me? Do you want me?” She loved seeing him lose control because it gave her a sense of accomplishment.

“Truly. I want you. I want all of you, every inch of your skin. I want you to belong to me completely.” He began planting light kisses on her skin, inch by inch.

It was not their first time being so intimate, but he would stop himself every time before things went too far. After all, she was the person he loved the most, and he wanted to protect her. Hence, he had always cherished her dearly.

Seeing the burning passion in his eyes, she felt sure that he genuinely loved her. If he didn’t, he wouldn’t put himself through such agony.

“I love you, Felix,” she whispered into his ear.

He lightly sucked on her earlobe and murmured, “What an alluring seductress you are. I don’t think you know I’ll lose it completely if you keep this up.”

“Do you really love me? If you do, can you take me to Anglandur? I feel uneasy thinking about how Sophie is all alone there.”

Felix fell silent. So, all this while she was seducing me without regard for the consequences in the hopes that I’d bring her to Anglandur!

“Ysabelle, tell me truthfully. Is Sophie more important to you or me?” It was something that mattered a lot to him.

“Why must you compare yourself to her? Isn’t the answer obvious?” she responded. Sophie is more important, of course!

Her reply struck him like a ton of bricks. “Will I never hold a candle to Sophie?”

I’m the man who wants to spend the rest of his life with her! How can she treat me this way?

Ysabelle pushed him away. “That’s enough. Are you taking me to Anglandur or not? I really want to go and see what it’s like there. You don’t have to worry. Once we’re there, I’ll be obedient and won’t cause you guys any trouble.”

I can promise her anything but that. It’s something I have no say in.

After observing his expression, she flew into a rage.

“Why are you like this? Are you going to agree to it or not? If the answer is no, you don’t have to come looking for me anymore,” she said petulantly.

Felix held her in his arms. “I’ll listen to you for everything else, but as far as this matter is concerned, you know there’s nothing I can do.”

It’s utter chaos in Anglandur now. If I dared to take her there at a time like this, I’ve no doubt the entire Lombard family would tear me to pieces.

She gazed at him morosely, looking close to tears. “I’ve realized you don’t love me at all. You wouldn’t refuse this small request of mine if your feelings for me were genuine.”

Felix was at a loss for words. He knew she was being dramatic. However, he was powerless in the matter. Hugging her tightly, he said, “Sophie wouldn’t want you to go either, so be good and stay here for now.”

Anger rushed through her, and she bit his arm. “Hmph! I knew I couldn’t count on you. In that case, I’ll figure something out myself.”

After saying that, she straightened her clothes and stormed off.

Felix could only shake his head helplessly. I’m known to be a formidable person here in Jipsdale, but to my girlfriend, I don’t even compare to a woman. Now that I think about it, that’s really pathetic!

After he finally managed to contact Tristan that night, he could not help complaining. “Can’t we go over? Ysabelle will ignore me if I continue refusing to take her.”

Although he knew Ysabelle was mad at him, he still had to see what Tristan would say.

“Things are a mess here, so why bring her over? Make sure she stays in Chanaea and doesn’t come here to stir up trouble,” came Tristan’s reply. Sophie is already exhausted as it is. If Ysabelle comes and causes a commotion, it’ll wear out Sophie even more, and I don’t want that to happen.

“I knew you’d say that,” said Felix. But I’m already at my wit’s end on how to handle Ysabelle!

“You’d better keep a close watch on her.”

“Okay, got it. I’ll definitely try my best. Oh, by the way, how’s the progress over there?”

“We’re still working on it,” Tristan answered. Oh, how I loathe that d*mn virus! Because of it, Sophie is working her fingers to the bone!

“Okay, noted. You guys remember to be extra careful,” Felix reminded. After all, just being in Anglandur was already dangerous for them.

After Tristan hung up the phone, Sophie walked over to him.

“What’s going on? Did something happen back in Chanaea?” she asked. It’s a critical period, and I wish I could stay on top of everything.

“Nothing. It’s just Ysabelle. She wants to come and look for you. Anyway, you know what she’s like.

Felix can’t keep a good handle on her.” Tristan was similarly at a loss for how to deal with that headstrong niece of his.

“Yeah. Tell Ysabelle not to come,” said Sophie, thinking about how unsafe it was where they were and that there would be no one to take care of Ysabelle.

“I agree. I’ve reminded Felix to keep an eye on her, so don’t worry. I won’t let her show up and disrupt things here.” He was sure that even if she did come, she would not be of any help and would only get in the way.

Just then, Arius approached them.

“Come on. The president is here, and Dr. Smith has asked us to join them.” Arius harbored a deep dislike for Marcus. He’s asking us for help but acts so arrogantly. It’s disgusting!

“Okay, sure. Let’s go.”

All three of them headed straight to the conference room.

When they arrived, they found that the atmosphere in the room was tense. Marcus had just thrown a fit.

Despite that, Barney remained exceptionally calm.

“Dr. Smith, is there really no other way? Don’t you know how serious the consequences will be if the situation continues like this?” Marcus demanded, tearing at his hair. I’m the one currently caught in the toughest spot, and no one in this country understands me! However, what have I done wrong?

“Mr. President, we’re all working as hard as we can. You saw how we’re only getting three hours of sleep a day. We’re already trying our best.” As for the rest, it was not in their power to do anything.

“What do you mean by that? Are you saying I should give up on Anglandur?”
