Isabella thought to herself. Please don’t. It doesn’t matter if I accept the ring,
but your ring nearly sent me to heaven. She didn’t reply and looked at the
clock. “I’m fine now. Let’s go.”
Gordon noticed that she kept massaging her leg and was a little worried. “Is
your leg hurt?”
However, she didn’t want to stay in the hospital any longer than necessary
and forced herself to stand. “It’s just a small injury. It doesn’t hurt. I can walk.
He raised a brow and suggested, “Then, what do you think of supper?”
She was rendered speechless. I would rather stay in the hospital. Still, she
tamed her hair and nodded with a smile. “Sure.”

“What do you want to eat?” Gordon helped carry her things and followed her
closely. He was a totally different person compared to when she first met

She maintained an appropriate distance from him and said, “Let’s go for

face. Instead, he looked comfortable holding the pizza in his hand.

If the person sitting across from her were Seth, he would probably act like he
was faced with a formidable enemy and disinfect the chairs before finally
sitting down. So, Gordon was actually better in comparison.
As she made that conclusion, Gordon had already placed an order. He got
two slices of pizza and emphasized that he didn’t want the red pepper flakes.
“I frequented these types of places when I was younger. Unfortunately, my
toxic friends thought it wasn’t classy of me to come here after my father
became rich. After a while, I stopped coming,” he explained as he passed her
a tissue.

Gordon shrugged nonchalantly and continued the conversation. The
awkward atmosphere between them finally disappeared like morning mist.
The pizza was served, and they gobbled it up as it was more satisfying than
their meal at The Red House.

After that, Gordon wanted to send Isabella home. Meanwhile, she was
hesitant to give him her address. “My place isn’t tidy. I’ll stay in a hotel tonight
and return when the cleaner’s done cleaning tomorrow,” she lied through her
teeth.
Then, he teased her, “You don’t look that rich, but you don’t even do the
