Chapter 174 Isabella’s Move

“You’re way better than Hannah and all the others!”

Finished

Hearing that, Isabella couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, I’ll take the compliment. I’ll keep doing my best.”

Truth be told, what she’d made was just a little thing she’d thrown together in a few minutes. The only reason it took that long was because she was missing a couple of parts and had to hunt around for substitutes. If she’d had everything on hand, putting something like this together would’ve taken her barely any time at all.

She was still smiling when Arthur and Margaret texted Brett back–they must have gotten his messages earlier.

Seeing their texts pop up, Brett grinned. “Mom and Dad want us to come over for dinner. Come on, Isabella, let’s head to our place! It’s way more lively over there. It’s pretty quiet here all by yourself—you should join us.”

He grabbed her arm playfully and started leading her out. “Mom said she’s cooking tonight herself, to celebrate your move.”

Meanwhile, after hesitating for what felt like forever, Isaac finally carried a big bag of things back to the apartment.

Even though he’d already returned to the Powell family and left Isabella that 1.2 million in cash to make sure she was taken care of, something still didn’t sit right with him. He wanted to check in on her.

But when he stepped inside, he found all of Isabella’s things gone.

She hadn’t touched the cash.

And the apartment key was sitting right on top of the box of money.

Isaac froze. He searched the whole place, room by room, looking for any sign of her.

There was nothing.

No trace of Isabella anywhere. It was as if right after he’d left, she’d walked out too.

She hadn’t cared about the money he left behind–just like she’d never really cared about the Powell family’s money before. All she’d ever wanted was their love and affection, and in the end, she’d walked away with none of it.

“Damn it…”

Isaac slumped down in front of the box of cash and cried the whole night through.

Chapter 174 Tsabella’s Move-

Finished

He wasn’t worried about Isabella’s safety. If she’d left, it treant she had somewhere to go–maybe the Waynes, or maybe the Carters…

The thought made his heartache bitterly.

It hit him then: Isabella had plenty of places she could turn to. Why had he ever believed she couldn’t make it without him, without the Powells Who was the one living in a fantasy here?

He’d even thought about running away with her a one point, but the truth was, the one holding her back had been him all along.

He was useless. Completely useless.

He couldn’t do a single thing right. Aside from being incompetent and saying sorry, he had nothing to offer her.

Isaac cried until he felt hollow.

He told himself he’d only let it out tonight. Starting tomorrow, he’d work hard. He’d build something for Isabella. He’d show her she had a home, that she had a brother she could rely on. She didn’t have to be so strong, so distant all the time.

“I’m sorry… I’m wrong, Isabella. I’m so sorry.”

Tears kept streaming down, forming a small, sad puddle on the living room floor.
