But the scene unfolding before him stopped him in his tracks.
His glass slipped from his hand, shattering on the floor with a loud crash.
The sharp sound of glass breaking brought Isabella and Andrew rushing from their room, alarmed.
These days, with everything so tense, they couldn’t afford to be careless.
“Waylon, what happened?” Isabella asked, eyes wide with concern.
Waylon parted his lips as if to speak but fell silent. Isabella followed his gaze, her eyes landing on the two figures by the sofa.
There, in the middle of the room, Milly was still carrying Howard bridal style.
Isabella blinked, momentarily at a loss for words.
Lately, it seemed like they were getting used to seeing unexpected things.
“Oh, Waylon, what’s the big deal?” Isabella said, hoping to save Howard from feeling too embarrassed.
“I carry Andrew like that all the time!”
Andrew’s head snapped toward Isabella, a hint of playful reproach in his eyes.
Waylon scratched his head, utterly bewildered.
Had the world really changed this much? Maybe it was time he found a girlfriend too!
“Alright, I’m going to bed,” he mumbled, deciding against getting water and making his way back to his room.
Isabella and Andrew returned to their own room as well, and as soon as the door clicked shut, Andrew turned to her with a bemused look.
“Do you often carry me like that?”
Isabella flashed him a mischievous grin.
“If you want, I can!”
Andrew’s lips twitched in amusement.
He wasn’t the type to care about gender roles, but he was definitely more used to being the one carrying Isabella.
“How about I carry you instead?”
Before Isabella could protest, Andrew swept her off her feet in one smooth motion.
She let out a surprised gasp, clinging to his neck as he carried her over to the bed.
He placed her down gently, holding her close with a grin that spoke volumes.
Meanwhile, in the living room, Milly and Howard struggled to shake off their lingering embarrassment.
Milly gently set Howard down, her eyes softening with a hint of guilt.
Though she had made some claims, she realized that men sometimes needed to preserve their pride, and she worried her actions had made Howard feel small.
“I’m sorry,” she murmured.
Howard frowned in confusion.
“Sorry? For what?”
“I shouldn’t have carried you like that and let others see it,” Milly said quietly.
Howard looked at Milly, who had her head hanging.
He reached out, gently ruffled her hair, and said dotingly, “Silly, you’re overthinking. Don’t worry too much, okay? Everyone will only think you’re amazing, and they’ll envy me.”
Milly raised her head and looked at Howard in surprise.
Her eyes regained their sparkle, and a smile began to form on her lips.
She would only be happy if she didn’t cause him trouble.
Howard knew Milly so well that he immediately saw through her thoughts.
He stroked her hair gently and said, “Don’t always think you’ll bring me trouble. Do you know how many people are jealous of me because you’re by my side? Especially Waylon. He must be very eager to find a girlfriend right now.”
Milly pursed her lips and thought for a while.
Then, she smiled again.
Election day was just around the corner, so they were extra cautious.
The next day, they stayed in the hotel and didn’t go out.
Meanwhile, rumors about Andrew and Isabella spread like wildfire.
Netizens were scolding and insulting them online while sympathizing with Savannah.
However, Andrew and Isabella had no intention of explaining themselves.
Isabella was firm that they didn’t owe anyone an explanation.
She believed there would definitely be someone in Aswil who would take the initiative to explain on their behalf.
Besides, their relationship was known to everyone back home.
It was impossible that no one in Aswil knew about it.
Sure enough, by the afternoon, a well-known blogger posted on social media, expressing that he had had enough of the public’s relentless scolding and criticisms.
He was a relatively famous travel blogger in Aswil, known for frequently traveling the world.
He had a general understanding of things in each country he visited.
Additionally, he had always been outspoken against the powerful business tycoons.
So, when he saw the rumors about Andrew and Isabella escalating, he couldn’t stand idly by and do nothing.
He started a live stream and angrily criticized those mindless gossip accounts.
“Can these gossip accounts think before they speak? They jump on every rumor like it’s breaking news.
Isabella and Andrew have been together for a long time,” he said.
Netizens tuned into the live stream, sensing the gossip.
They eagerly asked what was going on.
The blogger continued, “I’ve been to Lorpond twice in the past six months.
Andrew and Isabella got together half a year ago, and they have a very good relationship.
At that time, I even thought they were the epitome of a high-society romance.
They were supposed to get engaged right after the New Year holiday, but something unexpected happened.
Andrew came to Aswil and became engaged to Princess Savannah, which was outrageous.”
