I Quit Mr. Shaffer ( Isabella Symons ) Chapter 125

Chapter 125

“Could he really be going to find Seth?”

Isabella successfully drove Dariel away, but she started to feel scared

afterward. Her life was still in Seth’s hands.

Natasha chuckled and drank a glass of wine as she leaned against the stairs.

“Why fear Seth? Even if you annoy him, he’ll sleep with you a couple of times

at most.”

When Isabella recalled the sounds she had heard in the backyard earlier, her

face flushed, and her heart raced. She opened her mouth but couldn’t find

the right words, so she quickly changed the subject.

“Did you and Dariel break up?”

Natasha shrugged. “We broke up long ago. We were only using each other.”

Upon thinking about the child, Isabella found it difficult to comprehend such a

dysfunctional relationship. It was better for her to keep quiet.

After descending the stairs, Natasha looked relaxed as she sat at the bar.

“He’s the father of my child and also the culprit who killed my child. I’ll stab

him sooner or later.”

Her voice was soft, but the hidden hatred finally seeped out at night. It was

both captivating and terrifying under the dim lights.

Isabella couldn’t find words to say. She had been with Seth for five years, and

she always took strict precautions to avoid awkward situations. She couldn’t

imagine how she would react if she were in Natasha’s shoes.

The child and the future were both crucial.

Natasha eventually fell silent with her head resting on the bar. She seemed to

have drifted off to sleep.

Isabella sighed. She carefully helped Natasha up and struggled to get her

upstairs.

“Don’t follow in my footsteps…”

Natasha spoke in her sleep while grabbing Isabella’s hand and muttering a

few repeated phrases.

Isabella felt distressed after listening to Natasha’s words. She covered

Natasha with a blanket and settled on the nearby couch to get some rest.

It was a sleepless night as she was weighed down by numerous thoughts.

Early the next morning, Natasha was up earlier than Isabella. She made

breakfast and woke Isabella up.

“Today’s the car exhibition. Don’t be late.”

Natasha was unaffected by yesterday’s events. She ate and drank well.

Before leaving, she even applied a perfect, bright lipstick as if nothing had

happened.

Meanwhile, Isabella, who was the spectator, looked miserable and

pale-faced, resembling an apparition.

Upon watching Natasha leave, Isabella remained in place, feeling

exasperated. She wondered why she couldn’t learn Natasha’s composure.

She let out a long sigh while trying to stabilize her emotions. Then, she went

to the washroom to freshen up.

At 8.00AM, Alex called to urge Isabella, and she was prepared to leave.

“Hurry up. Many important people are inquiring about Seth.”

Isabella’s scalp tingled when she listened to the voicemail on the subway.

She wished the subway would malfunction right now so she wouldn’t have to

go to the car exhibition.

How could a person as busy as Seth possibly show up?

She felt miserable the entire journey on the subway.

Alex’s calls were incessant. She kept reminding Isabella to dress well and not

ruin the event.

Isabella’s head was pounding. Her steps toward the venue felt heavy.

She was wandering on the sidewalk and was not paying attention to the

approaching car. Suddenly, a honk startled her, and the heel of her

high-heeled shoe almost broke.

“Miss Symons.”

A red Ferrari stopped in front of her, and the door opened to reveal a young

and wealthy man.

Isabella hadn’t expected to encounter Christopher so soon. She was

momentarily stunned but quickly composed herself.

“Mr. Larson.”

“Why are you so formal? Just call me by my name.” Christopher was friendly

as he gestured for Isabella to get into the car. “Get in. I’ll give you a ride to the

venue since I’m going that way.”

She smiled faintly while pursing her lips. “No need. I’m almost there. Mr.

Larson, you still need to park. Don’t let me delay your time.”

Christopher’s hand didn’t drop, and he still maintained a polite smile. “It’s no

trouble if it means spending a little extra time with you. But if you decline, I

would truly be heartbroken then.”

Isabella felt uncomfortable. She detested this sort of passive-aggressive

approach, which forced someone to yield.

Unfortunately, he held a high status, and she couldn’t simply offend him, lest

it be no different from provoking another Louis.

She sighed, thanked him, and walked to the other side of the car before

getting in.

Christopher was satisfied, so he got into the car swiftly.

“Someone as beautiful as you must have a boyfriend, right?”

Once in the car, he tried to gauge Isabella when they were wearing the

seatbelt.

She maintained her distance from him, wore a faint smile, and replied, “It

would be great to have a boyfriend. At my age, I should be getting married in

a couple of years. Recently, my family has been urging me to go on blind

dates, and it’s quite bothersome.”

She wanted to hint to Christopher to lay off by indicating that she was past

the age of impulsive decisions.

“What a coincidence.” Christopher looked up while showing a mix of

helplessness and surprise. “I’ve also been pressured to get married recently

and going on one blind date after another. I’m almost fed up with it.”

Isabella didn’t expect him to be so opportunistic. Her lips twitched

involuntarily.

Luckily, they arrived at the venue soon before Christopher could say much

more.
