Chapter 1975
At that moment, Isadora had mixed feelings. She suddenly understood that Holden was not pleasing her. He was also not trying to find a chance to escape, she even felt that Holden had never thought of living at all. It was as if staying alive was something beneath Holden.
"If you can't get Sabrina in this life, then you won't want to live anymore, right?" Isadora asked Holden.
"Yes!" Holden answered straightforwardly.
Isadora asked, "Is she that good?"
Holden's face had a warm glow, and his tone became gentle. "I had never met any women that I loved in my life. Before I saw Sabrina, I was hell-bent on fighting for my eldest brother's island. Later on, my brother's island was lost, and I no longer had to contribute anything for the Payne family anymore, what was left of me was that I was a child who had been abandoned by his parents, so I had only wanted to start a small family with the woman I love. That kind of small family that was happy, has a vegetable farm, has a garden, and has the laughter of children. We don't need to be wealthy. We can plant our own vegetables. When my family needs money for some expenses, I can even go work as a laborer or a bricklayer. That's all fine by me."
When he said all that, his face was filled with an expression of yearning. It was as if working as a laborer or bricklayer was immensely enjoyable for him. Isadora suddenly understood it. The kind of life that Holden was greatly yearning for was something Isadora yearned for as well, she suddenly became a little more attracted to Holden. He was like a very classy noble young man in his bones. In actuality, he truly was a noble young man.
Three days was all it took for Isadora to fall in love with Holden. However, Isadora did not dare to tell her brother. If she had told him, he definitely would beat her up. In fact, Isadora did not care about the beatings. The main thing was that it would be incomprehensible for her brother, and he would be sad. How could Isadora fall for an enemy, and an enemy that she had only known for three days, no less? She could not. She could only hide the little bit of fondness she just started to have for Holden. However, Isadora had never expected that her brother did not want to use Holden as a bargaining chip to blackmail Sebastian and whatnot anymore. Instead, he wanted to kill Holden.
Seeing that his sister was stunned for a long time, Malvolio then asked, "Isadora, what's the matter?"
Isadora's expression was despondent as she shook her head. "No...nothing."
"I feel you seem a little unhappy?" asked Holden with concern. 1
Isadora was speechless. She was truly feeling sad and depressed that she wanted to cry.
"We had not been back to Kidon City for more than a decade. Now that there is hope for us to go back to Kidon City, why are you feeling unhappy? After we have gone back to Kidon City and worked with Axel from the Poole family, Axel will give me a title. We can then buy a house with a garden in Kidon City and we will no longer need to be on the move anymore in the future."
There was a pause before Malvolio spoke again. "I know. You are already all grown up. You are already a person in her thirties, but you haven't even started a family yet. The reason why I am so anxious to return and settle down in Kidon City was to find you a man from a better family for you to get married, have children, and live a normal life. I certainly will help you find a good family to marry into."
Hearing Malvolio saying that, Isadora suddenly burst into tears. "Malvolio, my brother, you're really kind..."
