Chapter 129 She Admires his Hands
“Still sleepy?” George’s voice was gentle and low.
The girl inside the room glanced at him before turning and walking away.
She didn’t close the door.
After a moment’s hesitation, George followed her in.
He heard Isabelle’s voice from ahead. “I’m awake.”
George said, “I thought it was about time for breakfast, so I came and got you. Ethan is already in the dining room.”
Isabelle was on her way to the bathroom. She responded with another grunt.
George sighed in relief and waited for Isabelle to finish freshening up.
In the elevator.
George asked, “Since your brother is in Taragon now, should we arrange for new security personnel for him or bring over the ones from Norward?”
Given Isabelle’s strained relationship with her family, George figured she had asked for protection for her brother. Therefore, he had to check with her.
Isabelle replied, “It would be best to arrange for new personnel, Mr. Harris.”
Eleanor and Layla’s wellbeing meant nothing to her, but if something happened to them because of her, it would upset Ethan.
Isabelle was worried about the Dark Shadow’s potential threats. Given that she had severed her ties with her family and brought Ethan to Taragon, Isabelle was concerned that the Dark Shadow might target Ethan next.
She considered calling in some help from the Blackwater Mercenary Corps.
George was curious about who Isabelle’s enemies were, but since she didn’t share, he didn’t pry.
When they reached the dining room,
Isabelle saw Ethan already seated with George’s business card in front of him.
Ethan looked at her, searching for guidance.
“Keep it, Isabelle said.
Ethan put the card away
Isabelle planned to take Ethan around Taragon to help him adjust and improve his mood before schoo
However, Ethan insisted it wasn’t necessary,
George had chosen the best school in the city, with top–notch educational standards and resources.
From afar, they saw a welcoming committee of ten people at the school gate. As soon as they got out of the car, the group warmly greeted them.
Leading the group were the principal, vice principal, and various directors.
Isabelle didn’t worry about Ethan’s condition causing bullying at school thanks to George’s arrangements.
The school could even make special arrangements to prepare his medicine in the cafeteria.
“Don’t worry. I’ve already reviewed Ethan’s grades from Norward High. They’re excellent… “The principal spoke at length.
Isabelle disliked such social situations.
George handled all the interactions on her behalf.
Once Ethan was settled, George drove Isabelle to university.-
Sitting in the car.
Isabelle noticed George’s long, slender fingers. She had made a polite remark about giving him a watch.
Now it seemed she had to follow through.
“What are you looking at?” George asked, noticing her gaze.
“Your hands are nice, Isabelle said, then looked away.
If they’re nice, why did you look away?
George felt a brief moment of excitement, but he quickly composed himself.
At the south gate of the university.
Erin was walking with her two roommates, holding a cup of coffee. She saw Isabelle getting out of a luxury
car.
“Is that Isabelle? Whose car is she in?”
“That license plate is all zeros. Isn’t that more expensive than the car itself? The person inside must be very important, one roommate said.
Erin tried to see who was inside, but the tinted windows revealed nothing.
That car definitely doesn’t belong to Danny. He only drove sports cars. That car was too business!
Erin said, “She’s hooked up with another rich guy. She’s really something..
