Chapter 444
On the second floor, Seth stood by the window with a cold expression as he watched a

Isabella was a bit suspicious. Still, she exited the car while covering her face with her
hand.
She quickly jogged into the restaurant, only to find it completely empty, with all the staff
waiting for her..
“Good day, Miss Symons.” A chorus of greetings sounded.
Isabella was startled. She licked her lips and said, “Hello… Good day to all of you.”

Isabella clutched her purse and felt her palms getting sweaty. She had a feeling that
Seth might have booked the entire restaurant
The manager led her to a corner table by the window, which offered a view of the enti
street. Joey was sitting in the booth, looking at the menu. As Isabella approached, he
greeted her with a large bouquet of roses.
“You look beautiful today.”
Isabella forced a smile and said, “Thank you.” She took the flowers with trembling
hands, and her expression was stiff.
“This restaurant is said to be famous. I wonder why it’s so quiet,” Joey asked as he
