I Quit Mr. Shaffer ( Isabella Symons ) Chapter 470

Chapter 470

The next morning, Isabella woke up to find Victoria bustling around in the kitchen.

She called out “Mom” and heard Victoria casually asking her to call Seth to join them for

breakfast.

Isabella was surprised. “Mom, how are you?”

Victoria turned around blankly, quickly making noodles. “I’m fine. What could possibly

be wrong with me?”

It was a brief moment of forgetfulness after a seizure, just like before.

Isabella took a deep breath, went back to her room to freshen up, and then went

backyard to find Seth.

It was only eight o’clock, and Seth was already working. When Isabella entered, she

heard him on the phone.

She didn’t make a sound, waiting for Seth to hang up before she spoke, “Mr. Shaffer, my

mother would like to invite you to have breakfast.”

Seth looked up. “Didn’t you say I shouldn’t see your mother?”

Isabella forced a smile. “My mother is emotionally unstable, and your special status

could easily cause misunderstandings.”

Seth understood what she meant, hummed lightly, closed his notebook, and walked out

with one hand in his pocket.

Isabella followed him, stopping him in front of the villa.

“Could you please be careful with your words?”

Seth frowned. “What do you mean?”

“My mother doesn’t know about our past, and she can’t know,” Isabella said tactfully.

Seth looked down at her, his tone slightly annoyed. “What happened between us?”

He could tell that Isabella was reminding him that their past five years were not to be

revealed.

Isabella sighed in relief. “Thank you for your cooperation.”

With that, she stepped aside.

Seth’s expression remained cold. As he reached the door connecting the front a

back yards, his face showed a slight change, preventing it from looking too rigid.

As he pushed open the small door, Victoria was setting the table. Seeing him come

she immediately looked uneasy.

“Mr. Shaffer, please sit. I’ll go get some more food.”

Seth cleared his throat. “Take your time.”

“Alright.”

Victoria hurried back to the kitchen and brought out a large bowl of porridge, serving a

small bowl for Seth.

Seth was quite polite and treated Victoria with courtesy.

“Bella must have caused you a lot of trouble. Please bear with her.”

Isabella sat aside, glanced at Seth, and then heard him say, “She hasn’t caused

trouble. She works well and has helped me a lot.”

Upon hearing this, Victoria’s face lit up with a smile, and she served Seth more food

Isabella was worried that Seth didn’t like others being too enthusiastic and tried to

signal Victoria several times, but Victoria didn’t notice.

Surprisingly, Seth didn’t lose his temper and kept speaking kindly to Victoria.

“Bella is of marriageable age now, and I’m worried.” Victoria casually mentioned, then

looked at Seth. “If you have any suitable assistants, please recommend them to Bella.

She always makes people worry. Last time, she had a blind date with a doctor, but there

was no result.”

Isabella felt a bit embarrassed and reminded her, “Mom.”

Victoria didn’t care and kept looking at Seth.

Seth’s face was pale, and he put down his spoon. “She’s already the president o

branch company. Do you think she’s only worthy of my assistant?”

Victoria was taken aback and then gave a bitter smile. “For a family like ours, it’s already

a great achievement for Bella to be in this position. We dare not hope for her to marry a

wealthy man as long as she’s safe and sound”

Seth suddenly found the food tasteless.

He could imagine that Victoria must have instilled this idea in Isabella from a young age

that someone like her doesn’t need to aim too high.
