Heath fell hard and his butt was hurt so much that he grimaced.
So he hated Tom even more. He struggled to get up and said coldly, "So you know some martial arts. How dare you touch my woman? I think you are looking for your death!"
He stretched and his joints made a cracking sound. Coupled with the cold and angry expression on his face, he looked quite scary.
Tom frowned slightly. He was a little unhappy. Just now, for Isabella's sake, he didn't hit this guy hard. But how dared he to continue to trouble him?
After all, Tom was a big shot. It would ruin his reputation if he fought a nobody.
Isabella said quickly, "Heath, what are you talking about? Stop it! He's my friend. If it weren't for him, I would have been bitten by a group of strays!"
After Heath heard Isabella's words, he had to stop and say with concern, "What? Strays? Are you hurt?"
Heath was about to help Isabella over, but at this moment, Isabella made a move that surprised both Heath and Tom. Isabella withdrew her hand and did not accept Tom's help. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine. Those stray dogs have been chased away."
Heath's face darkened and the corner of his mouth twitched violently. Isabella's action embarrassed him! He was Isabella's boyfriend but he was refused. Back then, he had spent a lot of effort and money to catch Isabella. But Isabella only allowed him to hold her hands during the past few years. Other than that, they had no other intimate movements. He had not even kissed her!
But now, the aloof and pure Isabella was so close to another man and she was almost clinging to him! He wanted to help Isabella over and was rejected! How humiliated he was!
Isabella also realized that her action just now hurt Heath's feeling, but she did not understand why she would do such a subconscious action just now.
In fact, Tom's temperament had an invisible attraction to women, which made Isabella unconsciously lowered her guard against him, and she even felt a sense of security.
"Heath, don't misunderstand me. He and I are not the kind of relationship you think we are. I sprained my ankle just now, so he came to help me." Isabella explained, but she was aloof, and her explanation did not seem very sincere.
And after she had explained, she was still clinging to Tom. How could Heath believe what she said and not be angry?
But he just bit his teeth and didn't explode. He nodded and said with a fake smile, "Really? You don't have to explain so much. How can I not believe you?"
Isabella frowned slightly. Heath's performance made her very dissatisfied. He obviously did not trust her!
Tom was very busy. He didn't want to be in the middle of them. He held Isabella to stand steady and let her go, and said, "Isabella, since your boyfriend has come, then I shouldn't disturb you. I'll go first."
Isabella nodded and wanted to say thank you to Tom, but Tom didn't give her the chance. He turned around and left, which made her angry.
