Chapter 371 Did Something Happen?
It seems the time has come to bring the marriage alliance back into consideration.
“Riley, have you finished eating?”
Riley quickly put down her fork and answered nervously, “Y-yeah, I’m full, Mr. Sowle.”
Isaac stood up. “Then let’s go.”
They left the restaurant, and Isaac drove Riley back home.
The atmosphere in the car felt strange the entire ride.

Riley was tense the whole time. She kept feeling that Isaac had been looking at her oddly throughout the evening.
Has he figured out that I’ve been lying to him?
That couldn’t be possible. Please don’t let it be true.
When they arrived downstairs at Riley’s building, Isaac watched her step out of the car. Then he suddenly called out, “Riley, are you wearing lipstick?”
Riley’s heart skipped. She slowly turned around.
Seriously. Why would Mr. Sowle suddenly ask something like that?
Is he already suspicious, or has he actually discovered something?
Riley shook her head quickly and denied it with a strained voice. “No. Why would you ask that, Mr. Sowle?”
Isaac suddenly felt extremely awkward. What exactly was he doing?
It’s nothing. Get some rest.”
Isaac drove away.
He felt like he was losing control.
His thoughts had completely derailed.
All because of Riley.
Maybe it was because Riley had been constantly around him lately. He had gotten used to his presence and started getting the wrong idea.
That had to be the reason.
There was nothing wrong with his orientation.
Isaac pressed the gas and drove home quickly.

Chapter 371 Did Something Happen?
+5 Pears
When he got home, Larissa and Ruby were sitting on the couch eating fruit while watching TV.
“Why is the acting so exaggerated? The director must be blind to cast her as the lead.”
Just slap her already. She’s driving me crazy.”
“They really have it rough…”
Larissa had not expected her older brother and Riley to call it a night so early. It looked like things had not gone very well.
Otherwise, with the mood heating up, the two of them should have already found somewhere to stay the night together.
“Isaac, why is your face so red? Did something happen?”
Only then did Ruby turn her attention away from the TV and look at her eldest son. “Isaac, what’s going on? Did something happen?”
It was rare to see her oldest son, who always kept a calm and unreadable expression, showing something different.
Isaac rubbed his face and replied stiffly, “Nothing. I just drove a bit fast. The wind irritated my face.”
Larissa looked at him suspiciously, wondering if something was going on between her brother and Riley.
Ruby smiled gently. “Isaac, it’s time you started thinking about your personal life. You can’t spend every day focused only on work.”
If the car accident had not happened earlier, the marriage alliance with the Wrights would have already been finalized.
Recently, whenever she brought up the engagement, Isaac had always refused.
But this time, to everyone’s surprise, he agreed,
“Okay, Mom. Arrange a meeting with her this Saturday.”
Larissa’s mouth dropped open.
“Isaac, are you serious about the alliance?
“Don’t you have someone you like?
“Weren’t you against it before?”
Ruby stared at him with even greater surprise.
“You don’t seem like yourself today.
“Didn’t you say you didn’t want to reach out?
