Leave Me Alone, Mr Shaffer by Diana Tenny novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64

The knock on the door was from the waiter, who was bringing the wine.

Isabella couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief as the conversation moved

past the previous topic due to the interruption.

“Miss Symons, here’s the wine you ordered.”

The waiter skillfully uncorked the bottle, poured it into a decanter, and then

filled their glasses.

Isabella glanced at the label and frowned immediately.

“Has this wine been opened?”

The waiter shook his head. “No. It’s our homemade wine.”

Isabella’s intuition blared a warning, telling her that this waiter was lying. Plus,

she found the bottle familiar as it resembled the one she had opened with

Seth during a dinner a few months ago. There was only about this much left

from that time.

She was worried that Gordon might notice. So, she didn’t press the matter

further. Instead, she raised her glass and toasted Gordon.

“Mr. Dunkstein, thanks for your help last time.”

Gordon smirked before downing the glass in one go. “This is a good wine.”

Isabella felt a little guilty. So, she forced a smile and lightly sipped from her

glass.

The wine had a rich taste and delicate aroma.

She had only taken a sip. Nonetheless, she only needed that one taste to

confirm her suspicions. She was almost certain it was the Latour that was

personally opened by Courtney back then.

Damn! Was Seth back?

That was impossible. He would stay in Lawdom for at least two or three days.

Even if he did return, there’s no way that he would be coincidentally at The

Red House.

Isabella could feel her thoughts becoming chaotic and barely managed to

swallow the sip of red wine. The rich fragrance slid down her throat and

made her feel like she was under intense scrutiny.

“What’s wrong?” Gordon sensed her discomfort. He thought he might have

given himself away. So, he couldn’t help but probe to see whether she had

Isabella shook her head and said, “It’s nothing. The wine is too strong. I need a

break.”

He relaxed slightly upon hearing her words. Nevertheless, he seemed restless

as he started tapping the table with his knuckles.

“How about some dessert?”

She temporarily tossed her issues with the wine aside and forced a smile on

her face. “Sure.”

As she was about to ring the bell, Gordon said, “I ordered some when I went

out earlier. They should be serving it soon.”

“Okay.”

Isabella didn’t think much and took a bite of prawn. Alas, her thoughts were

clearly affected as she couldn’t help but unravel the ball of the mystery

behind the red wine.

The waiter arrived with ice cream. Then, he placed the strawberry-flavored

ice cream in front of her. “Enjoy your dessert.”

“Thank you,” Isabella said before glancing up to find Gordon sneakily

watching her. It made her feel suspicious.

She took a deep breath, told herself not to overthink it, and said to Gordon,
