Chapter 15
“How’s that possible?” Tobias blurted out, unable to hide his shock.
Isabella had taken the lunch box from Cleo. Wasn’t she supposed to
bring it to him?
“What did you think?” Isabella tilted her chin, motioning towards the
staircase. “Cleo’s here, ask her.”
Tobias spun around to face Cleo. “What’s going on?”
Cleo hurried up the stairs, realizing she might have caused a mess.
When Tobias mentioned Isabella had eaten his lunch, she was
surprised. But the more she thought about it, the more it didn’t add
Isabella usually respected her brothers a lot; why would she pull a
stunt like this?
After some discreet snooping, Cleo learned about the dinner table
drama from the night before. She hadn’t expected things to get so
tense between Isabella and Tobias overnight.
“Mr. Tobias Taylor, I’m really sorry, this is all my fault.” Cleo wiped

the sweat from her forehead, looking awkward. “I ran into Ms. Taylor
at the hospital entrance and asked her to bring the lunch to you. I
was rushing to get to the market and assumed she was there to see
you, so I didn’t ask…”
She had thought Isabella was at the hospital to patch things up with
Tobias, but now it seemed Isabella had other reasons for being there.
Isabella stood leaning against the door, one leg slightly bent. “Cleo
was in such a rush that I didn’t have time to react before she was
gone.”
Cleo nodded repeatedly. “Yes, I misunderstood Ms. Taylor’s
intentions, causing this whole mess…”
Tobias’s face darkened. It seemed Isabella had been telling the truth.
Isabella hadn’t gone to the hospital for him, nor had she intended to
see him or personally bring him lunch.
“Why were you at the hospital?” he asked.
“A friend was hurt and hospitalized. I was with them.”
Tobias frowned. “Which friend?”

He hadn’t seen Isabella hang out with anyone around here. Since
coming back to the Taylor family, she barely knew anyone and rarely
went out, mostly sticking around her brothers.
Isabella repeated her earlier statement, “What’s it to you?”
Tobias had no comeback. He looked at Isabella’s indifferent
expression, feeling a rush of blood to his face, unsure if it was from
anger or shame. His lips moved slightly, and his voice was hoarse.
“Isabella, why have you changed so much?”
She used to be warm and caring, but now she was cold and distant,
even eating his lunch.
“What have I changed into?” Isabella’s face was icy. “Just because I
don’t cater to you anymore, you think I’ve changed?”
Tobias was taken aback by her words. Since coming home, Isabella
had always been compliant, but now she was suddenly so rebellious…
“Do you think acting like this will get everyone’s attention off
Bianca?” Tobias thought he understood now and found her childish. “This will only make people dislike you more.”
“That’s fine, I dislike you all too.”

With that, Isabella slammed the door shut.
Tobias stood there, stunned.
Gabriel had just returned and saw Tobias coming downstairs with a
grim expression.
“Tobias? What’s up?”
“Nothing.” Tobias thought about Isabella’s rebellious behavior, feeling
a headache coming on.
He glanced at the items Gabriel was carrying, noticing the logo of a
well–known women’s clothing brand.
“Why’d you buy that?”
“It’s for Isabella,” Gabriel said, his face cold.
Tobias raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised. “You bought her
clothes?”
“Not willingly!” Gabriel frowned, clearly irritated. “Bianca insisted I buy something for Isabella while we were shopping this afternoon.”

“I figured I’d just get it over with, but when I got back, I found out the
store clerk accidentally cut the tag and damaged the clothes. Now
Isabella insists I did it on purpose!”
Gabriel snorted. “Bianca told me to buy a new one and explain to
Isabella, so I had no choice.”
He didn’t believe Isabella wouldn’t be happy once she saw the new
clothes.
Gabriel, fuming, stomped upstairs and knocked on Isabella’s door.
“Isabella, come out! I have something for you!”
Isabella had just sent Tobias away and was about to lie down when
she heard the knocking again, feeling annoyed. “What now?”
Why weren’t they all fussing over Bianca and kept bothering her
instead?
Gabriel pounded on the door. “Isabella, I checked with the store. The
clothes were accidentally damaged by the clerk. I bought you a new
one! Don’t blame me. I wouldn’t do that!”
Isabella opened the door, and Gabriel almost stumbled inside. Seeing
her face, his expression darkened even more. “I bought you a new one,
