Isabelle and Collin were right. A university profecior like me, falling for such a trangerat a
“Yes,” Celeste said amply, lying back to ware at the white croy,
All my life, I’ve gotten everything I wanted–grades, honors, all of it, easily. This man wall be exception
“Sweetheart, Damian said, unfastening his seatbelt and leaning toward the passenger
Irritated, Isabelle turned to look into his deep, unreadable eyes. Do you even know w angry?”
“I do. Please don’t be. It’s been cleared up. And I said I’d handle it–just let me be usefu once. Don’t make me feel so useless. He reached out to stroke her cheek
“Handle it?” Isabelle’s frown deepened, fueling her anger further
So I just get bullied, and that’s it? Let it go?
I can’t accept that.
Damian’s expression grew serious. “You know that’s not what I meant.”
Seeing him cupping her face, trying so hard to appease her. Isabelle felt her resolve waver
I never expected him to love me deeply, or for our relationship to go anywhere special But why does heart ache so much now? I need to win this argument
“Damian,” she said, unfastening her own seatbelt to face him squarely. You said you’d handi it. But at that moment, you also thought I did it, didn’t you?
Damian paused. At first, yes. But after thinking it through, he knew she wouldn’t
“I’m sorry. I should have trusted you,” he said

Yet, a part of her was also moved.

“Put yourself in my shoes. If you were me, what would you think I’d do?” she asked.
Damian gripped her hands tightly. If she did it, she’d never leave a trace.
Isabelle continued, “If I wanted to hurt her, I have a dozen better ways. I wouldn’t leave obvious evidence at the scene, and I’d never get my own hands dirty.”
“I was wrong.” He wrapped his long arms around her, pulling her into an embrace.
Isabelle felt the warmth of his body. For the first time in his arms, her heartbeat felt stea not racing wildly like it usually did.
What’s different today?
It was like the passion that had just flared up died down instantly.
Quietly, she reached up and hugged him back.
“I caused you trouble this time,” Damian said, guilt heavy in his voice.
Partners should trust each other unconditionally. I was too hasty.
He really lost his head over this. Isabelle was exasperated.
“Do
you
know what a ‘scheming bitch‘ is?” she asked softly, pushing him back slightly
He frowned, confused.
Isabelle sighed, “Celeste is one, Mr. Cross. I hope you…”
Damian kissed her.
What is he doing? We’re having a serious talk.
Isabelle was confused.
Damian said, “I’ll keep my distance from her from now on. I’ll listen to you and discuss things with you first. Please, don’t be angry anymore?”
As if this is really over.

Let her off? Not a chance.
“Okay, Isabelle replied flatly.
I won’t let anyone who wrongs me get away with it.
Satisfied, Damian pulled her back into his arms.
The car stopped at a large farmstead in the countryside.
It covered an entire mountainside. It wasn’t just impressive–it was paradise.
The place was filled with all kinds of flowers and plants, designed in a rustic style. Each courtyard within the estate was unique and full of character, each with its own distinct fl
The serene atmosphere washed away all people’s worries.
Jonathan and Abigail were waiting at the entrance.
