Twisted Ties of Love (Izabella Salotti and Brett) novel Chapter 71

Izabella curled up under the blanket, her eyes irritated by the pungent smell of medicine.

Brett didn't know what to say. After applying the medicine, he got up and went into the bathroom to get his pajamas.

As soon as the sound of water started in the bathroom, Izabella struggled to get up and grabbed some medicine from the drawer. She didn't bother to drink water and just swallowed the medicine dry.

Brett finished washing quickly, in less than ten minutes. He went straight to the bed and hugged Izabella into his arms.

Feeling a bit uncomfortable to be embraced this forcefully, Izabella shifted a little and finally said impatiently, "Can't you sleep in another room?"

"Where should I sleep?"

Izabella looked exhausted. "There are so many rooms, if you can't find any, go sleep in Kaley's room. You slept pretty well there the night before, didn't you?"

"When did I ever sleep in her room?"

Izabella's body stiffened slightly. Hadn't Brett slept with Kaley? Then, what was the meaning of the injuries on Kaley's neck she saw yesterday and what she said?

Izabella didn't really believe Brett but also felt that he had no reason to lie to her.

Even if they didn't sleep together the night before, they'd known each other for so long and had done everything they should. There was essentially no difference.

Izabella's expression turned cold rapidly, eventually choosing to remain silent.

"Kaley and I aren't as disgraceful as you think."

Izabella sneered, "What am I thinking, then?"

Instead of getting angry, Brett found her aggressiveness amusing.

"Jealous?"

Silence was a form of acquiescence. The longer Izabella stayed silent, the more Brett confirmed his guess.

Brett let out a soft laugh, holding Izabella tighter, and whispered intimately in her ear, "I've never had a relationship or shared a room with Kaley. Are you satisfied now?"

How could it be possible that nothing had happened between Brett and Kaley after so many years of being close, even when they were acting so lovey-dovey in front of her?

"What does it have to do with me whether you have had a relationship with her?" Izabella turned her face away and tried to escape the warmth of his breath.
