Xavier’s tone softened a little, but there was still a faint trace of condescension in his voice.

Isabella couldn’t help but let out a small smile. “What? Do I only matter if I’m acting as your personal assistant?”

Even if she just showed up at the office to hang around, keep an eye on his employees, and let everyone know she was the boss‘ wife, that still counted for something, didn’t it?

At the very least, it would let Xavier understand clearly that she could be a real nuisance if she felt like it.

Going shopping all day was completely meaningless to her!

“That’s not what I was trying to say…”

Xavier’s voice dropped a little, as if he was making an effort to meet her halfway.

“You don’t have to wait for me. I can get there on my own, and I have other plans anyway.”

“Where are you going?”

Xavier’s tone turned sharp all of a sudden, his dominant, controlling aura surging back at

once.

Isabella set down her fork and looked straight at him. “Did you forget our deal from last night? You can’t control what I do anymore!”

Xavier’s face darkened instantly. He stared at Isabella for a long, heavy moment before finally grabbing the glass of ice water next to his plate, downing several large gulps, and standing up to walk away.

Isabella finished her breakfast slowly, one bite at a time, and suddenly felt light and refreshed.

Ten minutes later, Isabella walked into the garage, planning to pick one of Xavier’s spare cars to drive herself.

But she found the man hadn’t left at all–instead, he had pulled out a sleek black Bentley.

“Get in.” Xavier’s tone still held an unmistakable edge of command. “Wherever you’re heading, I’ll drive you.”

Isabella hesitated for a second, then turned and slid smoothly into the passenger seat.

If Xavier wanted to play her personal driver, why would she say no?

Once she was settled, Isabella gave him an address right away.

The moment he heard the location, Xavier’s gaze turned sharp and piercing, like a blade. “I suggest you know where to draw the line.”

“It’s better than going to see Sander, isn’t it?” Isabella smiled lightly. “You insisted on driving me because you’re scared I’ll go meet him, right? I’m just visiting a friend. That should be okay, shouldn’t it?”

Xavier didn’t reply. The car suddenly lurched forward with a sharp acceleration, and before Isabella could even buckle her seatbelt, her body swayed violently with the motion.

She shot the man an angry glare—he had done that on purpose!

The atmosphere inside the car remained tense and heavy the entire trip.

Isabella pretended not to notice at all, even deliberately putting in her earbuds to listen to music.

Still, Xavier’s patience that day was surprisingly good.

When they reached the destination, Isabella unbuckled her seatbelt and stepped out of the car. She then turned back to look at Xavier. “Aren’t you coming inside?”

“I’m heading to the hospital to check on Noah. I’ll come back to pick you up later.”

Xavier’s voice was cold. Without giving Isabella any time to respond, he rolled up the window and drove away.

Full pickup and drop–off service? Isabella scoffed inwardly. How long could he keep this up?

Turning around, Isabella pressed the doorbell.

The person who answered on the video intercom looked surprised to see her, but still unlocked the door right away.

“Ms. Carter, I really can’t help you with this. It’s way beyond what I’m able to do.”

Phoebe poured Isabella a cup of coffee, and the two sat down in the simple, old–style living

room.

After Xavier’s father passed away, Phoebe had moved out of Moore Manor,

This was an old property that had belonged to Tanner–it wasn’t large, the decor was a little outdated, but it was in a wonderful neighborhood.

Over the years, Phoebe had built up her own business and could easily afford a bigger, nicer, more luxurious house, but she had never moved.

Isabella could tell this place was kept just the way Tanner had liked it, full of old–fashioned warmth.

Maybe it was only here that Phoebe still felt close to him.

“I’ll handle the divorce on my own. I just feel bad that your law firm got pulled into this mess.”

Isabella pulled out a check and set it down in front of Phoebe.

“This is for your services. Even though things didn’t work out, please take it as a small thank- you.”

“I can’t accept this.”

Phoebe immediately pushed the check back toward her.

Isabella noticed that Phoebe’s arm was wrapped in a bandage, though there were no other visible injuries on her.

“Please don’t be so formal–it’ll only make me feel guilty. Just think of it as a little gesture from someone younger.”

With that, Isabella rolled the check up and tucked it under a vase on the table.

Phoebe couldn’t stop her and let out a soft, amused sigh. “You’re still just the same as you always were.”

“So are you.”

Phoebe was the only person who hadn’t bombarded her with questions about why she had come back.

The two chatted for a while longer, but only about light, casual things.

No mention of the Moore family, and absolutely no mention of Xavier.

When it was getting late, Isabella stood up to leave, but Phoebe stopped her.

“Isabella… do you really want a divorce?”
