As she walked out the door with Andrew, she remarked, “Boss, I think Dr. Mia is too full of herself. She’s still so young. Even if she’s skilled in surgery, that doesn’t mean she understands how to make medicine.”
“Follow her instructions,” Andrew replied firmly.
Though Belen was still unconvinced, she nodded reluctantly. She was eager to see if Dr. Mia’s method would indeed yield better medicinal materials. Isabella, aware of the current state of the medicine, knew she had to patiently await the results.
As Andrew escorted her out, he asked, “How did you get to the restaurant?”
“I took a taxi. Could you give me a ride, Mr. Klein?” Isabella asked playfully. In truth, she had driven herself.
“Of course,” Andrew replied without hesitation. They reached the parking lot. Andrew opened the door for Isabella, who slipped into the car. But instead of joining her, he closed the door and stepped back. Andrew then said to the driver, “Take her to her destination.”
“Sure thing, boss,” the driver replied respectfully. Through the glass, Andrew spoke to Isabella. “Dr. Mia, thank you for today. Be safe on your way back.” He was polite, no doubt… but he was keeping his distance from her!
Isabella had intended to play a little game while they sat together, but Andrew’s actions left her plans in ruins. With a resigned sigh, she asked the driver to drop her at the restaurant. Once there, she got out and drove herself home.
When she arrived, she was surprised to see Andrew waiting at the gate. Isabella stepped out of the car with a smile. “Honey, were you waiting for me?”
“Yes, sweetheart. Why did you come back so late?” Andrew, dressed in a sharp black suit, looked imposing and distant, but the moment he saw Isabella, his expression softened, his eyes warm. This sudden change made Isabella’s heart swell with affection.
“I had a few things to take care of,” Isabella replied, slipping her arm through his. “My parents have prepared some snacks. Let’s go eat together.”
Andrew hesitated for a moment, but seeing Isabella’s determination, he nodded.
In the villa, Elaine had just emerged from the kitchen, surprised to see them together. Although Andrew and Isabella had been a couple for some time, they were always discreet, and Andrew had never come back with Isabella before.
“Andrew, you’re here! I’ve made some snacks. Join us,” Elaine said with a warm smile. Despite being a noble lady, she never put on airs; her elegant beauty was softened by years of kindness.
Isabella was caught off guard—she hadn’t expected her mother to cook today. As she glanced at the delicious-looking spread on the table, a hint of nervousness crept in.
“The cook and I prepared these together. Isabella, try some,” Elaine said, her tone encouraging.
Isabella felt a wave of relief and picked up a pancake. It tasted wonderful! She glanced at her gentle, beautiful mother, wondering if Elaine was aware of her own limited cooking skills.
Elaine turned to Andrew, saying, “Andrew, you should eat more. You’re looking thin, and you need your strength to work well.”
“Understood,” Andrew replied politely.
Elaine then turned to Isabella, her expression softening with concern. “Have you spoken to Dane recently?”
“Dane? No, why? What’s going on with him?” Isabella asked, a hint of worry in her voice.
Elaine sighed, “‘He’s been a bit distant lately. When I spoke to him, he seemed distracted, and his assistant mentioned he’s been acting strangely. I suspect he might be in love!”
Isabella was so startled that she nearly choked on her food. She turned to Elaine and inquired, “Then why did you sigh? Mom, haven’t you always hoped for Dane to find a partner?”
Elaine sighed again and said, “Yes, I want that for him, but he hasn’t shown interest in any girls, just his close male friends. It makes me wonder…” Elaine trailed off, leaving her thoughts hanging, but the implication was clear to everyone.
Isabella and Andrew exchanged a glance, both feeling amused. Isabella cleared her throat. “I don’t think that’s the case.”
“But he really doesn’t spend time with any girls at all!” Elaine insisted. “No, I need to figure out who Dane might be seeing!”
Isabella muttered, “Okay.”
“Isabella, do you know anything?” Elaine suddenly questioned.
Isabella was taken aback once again. She probably knew… but the dynamics between those two seemed strained.
“Mom, I think it’s best not to worry. Let Dane manage his personal life,” Isabella said, then shifted the conversation. “By the way, where’s Dad?”
Elaine responded, “Oh, Rowan made a mistake at the company, so your dad is sorting it out.”
“What kind of mistake?” Isabella asked.
Elaine explained, “It appears he made a deal that caused the company to lose a few hundred million dollars.”
A few hundred million dollars? While Rowan was known to lack business sense, losing that amount was no minor matter!
Isabella furrowed her brow, preparing to delve deeper, but Elaine continued, “Even though it’s a relatively small amount, it’s still problematic. The reputation of the Patton Group is at stake, so your dad had to intervene.”
A small amount? Isabella quietly bowed her head and continued eating in silence. She realized she might have underestimated her family’s actual wealth.
They had just finished the snacks when Glenn finally returned, looking a bit worn out.
“Dad, you’re back,” Isabella greeted him and asked, “How did things go at the company?”
“Nothing to worry about,” Glenn reassured her with a smile.
“I’ll go heat up some food for you.” Elaine rose to warm up some food for Glenn.
Spotting Andrew, Glenn said, “Andrew, you’re here. Has something special happened today?”
“No, Dad, he just came to see you and Mom,” Isabella smiled and said.
“Okay.” Glenn nodded.
Elaine quickly set up the food, and Glenn began his meal. Elaine sat beside him, keeping him company. They shared a tender moment.
Isabella observed them, feeling a mix of warmth and longing. This was the type of family life she deeply desired. Suddenly, she felt a warm hand grasp hers as Andrew whispered, “What are you thinking about?”
“I just think my parents have a really great relationship,” Isabella said. “I find it quite enviable.”
“There’s no need for envy. I promise to treat you even better,” Andrew assured her with a loving look.
Isabella’s heart skipped a beat. She nodded slightly, then curiously inquired, “By the way, I’ve never heard you talk about your parents. Where are they?”
Andrew’s expression froze momentarily before he responded, “They’ve been gone for a long time.”
Isabella was taken aback. “I’m sorry…”
“It’s okay. They passed away when I was very young,” Andrew replied calmly. “I’ve learned to live with it.”
Seeing the sadness in his eyes, Isabella couldn’t resist embracing him. “I’ll be here for you.”
Feeling her tender yet resilient embrace, Andrew wrapped his arms around her tightly. Her warmth made even the darkest night seem less cold. At the dining table, Glenn observed this interaction with a less-than-pleased look. However, Elaine was delighted. “They really share a close bond!”
“Isn’t this a bit much for our home?” Glenn expressed his displeasure.
Elaine dismissed his concerns, saying, “It’s just a hug. What’s so serious about that? Don’t be so harsh. Andrew is a decent young man.”
After being scolded, Glenn remained silent and quietly continued eating.
As the evening wore on, out of consideration, Andrew decided to leave, and Isabella also left her parents’ house to return to her own.
Over the next two days, Isabella sensed that someone was following her each time she drove. She tried to figure out who it was but realized the individual must have been hired by someone; she didn’t know the person.
On the third day, Isabella drove to work as usual and once again noticed the same car trailing her in the rearview mirror. After several days, the follower hadn’t even switched cars. She had nearly memorized the license plate. Frustrated, she attempted to shake the car off, but suddenly a vehicle darted out from the side, resulting in a collision!
In an instant, flames engulfed the vehicles! Nearby cars swerved to avoid the accident, and pedestrians on the sidewalk screamed. A cacophony of cries and curses filled the air.
At the Klein Group, Andrew was in the middle of work when suddenly a sense of dread washed over him, causing his heart to skip a beat. Acting on instinct, he picked up his phone and sent a message to Isabella.
There was no reply.
Normally, if Isabella didn’t respond, Andrew would assume she was caught up with work and leave it at that. But this time, a gnawing urgency took hold of him, and he kept sending more messages.
When there was still no response, Andrew called her directly.
“Hello, the number you have dialed is currently switched off…”
