Gossip Girl Reborn (Isabella and Alexander) novel Chapter 33

Chapter 33 No Chance

To avoid getting exposed, Christopher deployed his acting skills, enhancing his charisma by immediately suggesting a game and supper session with two male researchers.

Luna naturally didn’t oblige and turned back alone to her room.

The others exchanged looks. Everyone knew Christopher was just finding an excuse to spend more time

with Luna.

Now that the main characters had left, everyone planned to return to their rooms.

Unexpectedly, Christopher genuinely intended to treat everyone to supper.

The trio of researchers was quite surprised and initially wanted to politely decline..

Christopher said, “I should have treated you all to a meal long ago.”

Years ago, he didn’t fulfill his obligations to his fiancée but now wants to treat his fiancée’s friend to a meal. Now that their engagement has been called off, it’s a belated effort. With nowhere else to go, Isabella couldn’t help but sarcastically comment, following their lead.

Christopher’s smile stiffened under the weight of these thoughts.

The trio felt awkward too. After all, Luna’s return to her room showed that she didn’t want to get involved with Christopher personally. Although they thought Christopher and Luna were well–suited, they had their limits and didn’t–want Luna to feel pressured or angry.

While they could be kind, they couldn’t guilt trip others.

Seeing their hesitation, Christopher quickly changed the subject. “Actually, I wanted to get to know your team members better, so I can invest wisely and pay attention to the details in the future.”

Even though it was likely just an excuse, since it had been said, any further refusal would risk offending the benefactor.

Thus, everyone was swept along by the atmosphere to the male researchers‘ room for supper.

Christopher ordered a lavish feast for everyone, instantly dispelling any sense of distance. He even went as far as agreeing to autographs and photos. Even if they weren’t fans of Christopher, he was a top star, and posting about it would garner a crazy amount of likes on social media.

Before long, Christopher contacted Hayden to arrange two rooms on this floor.

He cleverly chose the room directly opposite Luna’s. 

Hayden and Thalia eventually arrived, smoothly covering up the lie.

However, after Hayden pulled Christopher aside for a private chat, it was clear the issue was with Bianca. Christopher clearly wanted nothing to do with that person’s news anymore.

With Christopher’s attitude, Hayden naturally loosened up and informed the outside world, severing all resources previously provided to Bianca

.

On the other side, Isabella and Thalia enjoyed barbecued skewers together. Christopher approached them and whispered, “Later, accompany me to deliver food to Luna.”

Is he using me as a buffer because he is afraid to go alone?

Isabella declined.

She had never considered helping to match Christopher and Luna.

Christopher gritted his teeth. “I just transferred a million, fresh from the oven.”

Isabella responded firmly, “A deal’s a deal. This is a separate price.”

Christopher choked, incredulously looking at this principled (avaricious) person who had just taken his money. She had recently conned him out of his money, yet felt no guilt?

In the end, he had no choice but to transfer money again.

He couldn’t help but comment, “If this continues, I’ll have a conditioned reflex.”

Every time he asked for help, he would give out morey

Isabella smiled and accepted the money.

As expected, he’s turning into a new leaf! But is he stupid? Anyone else here could be a better buffer for him to deliver the food. But no, he chose me. Isn’t this treating me to front–row seats? I’ve never encountered such a spendthrift invitation. Haha, my opinion of Chris is truly improving

Christopher heard her inner voice and felt numb. Yes, why do I have to choose Isabella? Could it be that I considered her family?

Thinking of this possibility, he suddenly felt goosebumps all over.

Forget it. At least someone will accompany me.

He selected some food for Luna. Isabella suggested, “The eggplant is well–grilled.”

“She doesn’t eat eggplant.”

Isabella was surprised. “You still remember her preferences,

“Yeah.” Christopher responded nonchalantly.

Isabella was somewhat surprised. After all, he had previously been so distant from Luna that she had thought he only remembered everything related to Bianca.

They arrived at Luna’s door, and Christopher knocked. 

Shortly after, Luna’s cold voice came from inside, “Who is it?”

Christopher replied, “It’s me and Bella. We brought you some supper.”

It was quiet for a moment inside. Obviously, Luna was hesitant. After a while, she opened the door.

If Isabella hadn’t seen through and exposed Anais and Zeke, she would still be in the dark. She had long wanted to find an opportunity to thank Isabella, but Christopher had been there all along, making her unable to. She had to take advantage of this opportunity to speak.

Isabella continued. “When you first advised her to break up and she agreed but then got back together. you should have realized she’s not the type to listen to advice. At times like this, you should permanently avoid getting involved in her emotional issues. Some people need guidance, but some don’t. She only needs emotional venting and confirmation of their thoughts. So when you encounter such people, you should give up on playing the rescuer and respect others‘ destinies. Otherwise, sooner or later, you’ll suffer because of someone else’s actions.”

Christopher was somewhat surprised and even had a hint of admiration for Isabella’s sudden transformation. He wondered if Isabella was enlightened after getting the superpower of seeing through prople.
