After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 668

Dylan turned to his bodyguard and said, “Go find out why Linda and Isabella are here in Kaston.”

The bodyguard nodded respectfully and hurried off. Dylan lingered for a moment, staring after Linda as she disappeared down the hallway, before finally turning away.

Inside the presidential suite, Isabella glanced at Linda and said, “Linda, you really shouldn’t get too close to Dylan. He’s trouble.”

Linda gave a little laugh. “Trust me, I know. He’s a total flirt, swaps girlfriends like he changes outfits, and he’s ruthless when he wants to be. Don’t let that friendly smile fool you. He’s got the nicest mask, but underneath, he’s a real predator. Honestly, I’m not scared of him, but I think you should steer clear, Isabella. If you see him around, just avoid him. He tries to get with every woman he meets.”

Isabella smiled, shaking her head. “I’m not worried. He’s not into me.”

Linda looked at her, unconvinced. “He practically lit up when he saw you. That’s why I’m warning you. Keep your distance. He’s never serious with anyone.”

Isabella shrugged. “Sophia’s the one who’s obsessed with him. She keeps saying she wants to marry Dylan Main.”

Linda changed the subject. “Do you want some water or something else?”

“Could I have a coffee? I skipped my nap, and I’m starting to feel it.”

Isabella started to get up, but Linda waved her back down. “I’ll get it. You sit. I know you’ve been up late shooting lately. You’re more tired than I am. You said you wanted to learn the business, so I brought you along on this trip. Take a break.”

Isabella smiled gratefully. “Coffee will definitely help. Thanks, Linda, for letting me tag along.”

Linda rolled her eyes. “Don’t get all formal on me. We’re friends, remember?”

“We’ll rest for a bit, then check out the office. Might be a late night for us.” Linda had considered going straight to the company, but she’d worried Isabella would be too exhausted after that long drive.

She’d never expected the Gates family to play fair. Natalie had gotten arrested, fined, and her reputation had taken a hit over that drugging incident. The Gates family hated Isabella for it.

There was no going back, and Isabella wasn’t worried about making Natalie mad. What she really feared was repeating the mistakes of her past life and ending up dead because of Natalie again.

“Jesse really does love Laura,” Linda said quietly. “I told Laura not to give up on love just because my marriage sucked. Love can still be a good thing.” Her voice softened. “I just haven’t met the right guy myself.”

Linda smiled. “Sooner or later, Laura will come around and accept Jesse. But you…” She hesitated, then asked, “What do you think of Harold?”

Isabella’s eyes widened. “He’s great. Really, I’ve only ever seen his good side. If he has a dark side, I’ve never seen it.”

She gave Linda a playful look. “Wait, you’re not trying to set us up, are you? Harold is Barbara’s brother. I’ve always seen him as a big brother too.”
