Chapter 30
The horse ranch was a well–equipped
establishment that offered various amenities
similar to a hotel. Therefore, Gordon led Isabella
back and booked a room.
Sitting by the bed, Isabella finally released the
breath she had been holding.
“It’s just a horse, but it was quite a hassle.” Gordon’s
temper had not cooled down, and he tossed his
coat aside before turning to see Isabella’s pale
complexion. Only then did he ease his tone and
approach.
“Were you scared?”
Returning to her senses, Isabella shook her head
and ran her fingers through her hair. “No. I just felt a
bit embarrassed.”
Gordon let out a chuckle and sat down beside her,
getting a close–up view of her profile.
At first, Isabella was startled and then had to face
such an awkward scene, so her face was currently

pale but had a hint of blush. Her lips had regained
their rosy hue, making her incredibly enticing.
Gordon thought that since she hadn’t objected to
being called his girlfriend earlier, she probably
wasn’t repulsed by him, so he summoned his
courage and moved in to kiss her.
Meanwhile, Isabella was lost in her thoughts but
suddenly sensed someone approaching from her
side and instantly reacted. Her cheek felt cold,
which stimulated her to instinctively scramble up
from the bed.

Gordon hadn’t expected such a strong reaction
from her and felt a little embarrassed. He muttered
in a somewhat irritable tone, “What’s wrong? Can’t I

Clenching her fists, Isabella was so furious that her
body was trembling. “Mr. Dunkstein, do you think it’s
appropriate for you to kiss me?”
Gordon furrowed his brows. “What do you mean?”
“If you think it’s no big deal to kiss me, then you’re
treating me like I’m a hostess. But if I remember
correctly, I never took a penny from you.” Isabella’s
tone turned cold, her previous docility and
compliance gone. Her words left no room for
compromise.
Gordon felt guilty and somewhat remorseful, but
his tone was still impolite. “I’m not treating you like a

“If that’s not the case, then please maintain an
appropriate distance. I consider you a friend
because I thought you were worth befriending.
Don’t make me regret my judgment!” Her body was
tense, and she struggled to contain her
embarrassment. She gave him an accusing gaze
and managed to make Gordon feel slightly guilty
with just a few sentences, feeling like he had
indeed been too careless with her.
He awkwardly licked his lips while glancing at
Isabella. When he saw she wasn’t going to back
down, he stood up with some discomfort. “Alright. I
admit I was wrong, okay?”

Isabella pursed her lips and remained silent.
Running his hand through his hair, Gordon used all
the patience he had over the last twenty or so
years to coax her, “Don’t be so tense, okay? My

embarrassing if we got into an argument.”
At the same time, Isabella didn’t want to sever their
relationship either. It was just that she was instantly
