Isabelle looked at the battered Joshua and frowned. “What happened?” The swelling around his eye had gone down significantly, indicating it was worse a few days ago. Clearly, he had waited for the injuries to heal a bit before seeing her.
Joshua replied, “It’s nothing.”
He seemed to be in a good mood.
Then, he touched something in his pants pocket through the fabric, hesitating to speak. He appeared a bit
nervous.
Isabelle asked, “Do you have something for me?”
Joshua hesitated for a moment before taking out a delicate little box. “This is for you,” he said.
Isabelle took it, opened the box, and saw a bracelet inside.
With the bracelet in hand, Isabelle enquired, “Is this what you made from your part–time job? What sort of work was that?”
Joshua asked awkwardly, “Do you like it?”
Isabelle asked again, “I asked you about your part–time job.”
Joshua paused momentarily and said, “Fighting, 750 dollars per match.”
Isabelle’s expression darkened slightly. “You have quite a variety of ways to make money.”
Joshua seemed to feel guilty and remained silent.
Isabelle took the bracelet and turned to enter the room, leaving with the words, “Don’t
go
there again.”
“Okay.” Joshua’s face brightened, and he followed her inside.
Ethan came downstairs and said, “Isabelle, let’s
But as he looked at the sofa, he saw Isabelle tutoring Joshua in front of a computer.
Joshua asked, “Are you going out?”
Isabelle didn’t answer him but said to Ethan, “You can go with Jack.”
Ethan showed Isabelle a rare displeased expression, glanced at Joshua, and said, “I’m going back to school.”
Then, he left in silence.

Sounding frustrated, she said, “Ask me if you don’t understand.”
She said this and then closed her eyes to rest.
Joshua murmured, “Okay”
Isabelle hugged the pillow, her face covered with a book, lying on the sofa for a nap.
Joshua typed on the keyboard lightly, trying not to make any noise.
The two of them sat and lay quietly, not disturbing each other.
Thud!
The book covering Isabelle’s face fell to the ground.
Sitting on the single–person sofa, Joshua leaned over to pick it up. When he straightened up, his movements seemed to hesitate for a moment.

The floor to ceiling windows let in an abundance of sunlight, which lavishly covered the girl’s pale face. It appeared if a thin layer had been applied to her complexion.
Joshua looked at her with a gentle gaze.
When Isabelle woke up, it was already dark outside.
There was noise coming from the kitchen. Isabelle followed the sound and found Joshua busy at the stove. She asked, “Why are you cooking?”
Joshua turned to look at her. “I asked the maid to leave,” he said.
Isabelle didn’t say anything, either. She went to the bathroom to wash her face.
After completing the meal prep. Joshua stepped over the sink and gave the plates and utensils a thorough wash. He touched the spoon’s tips and the plates‘ edges with his fingers.
“It’s ready, let’s eat,” Joshua said, serving the food.
Isabelle sat down at the dining table and looked at the spread of food.
“It’s all learned from my mother. The presentation might not be great, but it should be decent,” Joshua, said.
Isabelle nodded slightly, not saying anything.
She picked up her utensils, then remembered something. “Do you drink?”
Then she put down her utensils to get some wine and an opener. When she sat back down, she realised she hadn’t brought any glass and muttered, “I need glass…

He brought a couple of glasses back.
Isabelle opened the wine, poured two glasses, and then started eating.
“How is it? Is it too salty?” Joshua asked, watching her closely, eager for her feedback.
Isabelle replied, “It’s fine.”
