The atmosphere turned a little awkward.
Tom put his arms around Isabella's waist, and Isabella wrapped his neck. Such gestures only existed between lovers. Moreover, Isabella's chest was still pressed against Tom's chest.
Isabella could not help but breathe faster as she sensed the male hormones from Tom, and her pretty face turned red. She was even a little reluctant to leave Tom's arms.
"Ahem, are you okay?" Tom coughed twice. He quickly straightened Isabella up and let her go.
Diana and Amelia, who had been fighting at the side, stopped at the same time. Diana acted as if she had expected what would happen, while Amelia narrowed her eyes with a jealous smile.
Tom was upset. This time he was unable to prove himself innocent anymore.
Isabella left Tom's arms with reluctantly. She shook her head and said, "Thank you, or I would have fallen just now."
"Okay." Tom nodded and said, "Since you're fine, explain it to your friend to avoid us being misunderstood."
"Oh..." Isabella responded disappointedly, then explained a few words to Diana. However, it was obvious that she didn't sound convincing. Instead, her explanation gave people the impression that she had an affair with Tom, but now Tom abandoned her.
Diana knew Isabella's character, and she was even more uncomfortable with Tom.
Tom didn't care about this unimportant stuff and said, "Since there's nothing else, I'll go first."
"Wait a minute." Seeing that he was leaving, Isabella was somewhat disappointed. She couldn't help but stopped Tom. Tom turned around. "What's wrong?"
"No, it's okay." Isabella wanted to say something, but she couldn't. She suddenly hated herself. Why did she suddenly become stupid? She didn't even know to speak!
Tom did not know what she was thinking. He looked at her in a weird way, then walked to Amelia, took Amelia's hand, and left the airport.
"Hey, this scumbag. How dare he leave?" Diana wanted to catch him up again. Isabella quickly grabbed her and said, "Diana! Stop it. He's not my boyfriend. He and I... Are not even friends."
Isabella was quite sad to say this. Once, she had a chance to get close to Tom. However, back then, she looked down on Tom and missed this precious opportunity. Now Tom had become an unattainable existence for their entire family.
Diana widened her eyes and said angrily, "What? Then he played with your feelings and didn't even give you an identity? No, as your best friend, I have to teach him a lesson! This scumbag's too hateful!"
"Enough." Isabella said angrily, "He's not a scumbag. Nothing happened between us before. From the beginning to the end, it was just my sentimental unrequited love."
However, when Diana heard this, she was surprised. She reached out her hand and touched Isabella's forehead. "I didn't hear wrong, did I? I can't believe that you'll have an unrequited love for someone. Besides, that guy's nothing special! He doesn't deserve you."
Isabella rolled her eyes. The first time she saw Tom, she felt the same. She didn't take Tom seriously. However, she gradually felt Tom's charm...
She sighed and said, "You haven't had any contact with him, so you don't understand."
