Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus) novel Chapter 410

Victor arched an eyebrow, his dark eyes lingering lazily on the woman beside him. "Just about," he drawled.

Isadora frowned, thinking he was simply playing along for the sake of the interview.

Nicol pressed on, "So, can you tell us what it is you like about President Vaughan, Mr. Fitzgerald?"

Victor glanced at Isadora, a hint of mischief in his smile as he brushed a strand of her soft hair behind her ear. "She's beautiful."

A flush crept up Isadora's cheeks. She should've known he wouldn't resist joking around.

Nicol chuckled, treading carefully. "No one can deny President Vaughan is stunning—but there are plenty of beautiful women in the world."

Victor's gaze sparkled, his tone unexpectedly sincere. "But when she smiles, she lights up the whole world. Makes me believe there's something truly worth living for."

The interview wrapped up soon after.

A crowd of Pulse News executives instantly swarmed Victor, each eager to shake his hand or exchange a few words, hoping he'd remember their faces.

Meanwhile, Isadora slipped out of the restroom and made her way back toward the studio. As she neared the entrance, she caught sight of Terrell standing tall and composed by the exit, clearly waiting for her.

She hesitated, then walked over.

Catching her approach from the corner of his eye, Terrell offered an apologetic smile. "Sorry for all the trouble today."

"You were just looking out for me."

"Isadora." His deep voice cut through the noise.

She looked up and met his gaze—eyes as deep and turbulent as the sea, brimming with unspoken words.

Isadora quickly looked away.

Terrell didn't move, still locked on her. "Is it true? Are you really getting married?"

He was talking about the Fitzgerald Group's official announcement of her engagement to Victor. Isadora kept her tone even. "Unless something unexpected happens, yes."

A faint, bittersweet smile crossed Terrell's face. "So you're not going abroad after all?"
