While watching Vienna’s receding figure, Isabella leaned a bit closer to Elaine and said softly, “I think Vienna cares about us.”
“Yes. Your uncle and Vienna are good people. But I didn’t dare to face them because of the mistakes I made,” Elaine sighed sadly.
Isabella said, “I don’t know what happened between you and them. But in this world, nothing beats family love and affection. Vienna even silently helped me behind the scenes after all these years. Obviously, she cares. Mom, I think they might miss you too.”
Elaine’s eyes reddened when she heard Isabella’s words.
She had been married for many years and hadn’t seen her family during all that time.
She had to admit that she missed them deeply, especially her elder brother.
The ache of separation had become a quiet undercurrent in her life, a persistent reminder of what she had left behind.
Their parents had passed away when they were still so young.
And her brother, barely an adult at the time, had shouldered the weight of both parental roles without hesitation.
She knew it hadn’t been easy for him.
Elaine took a deep breath and said, “Isabella, you’re right. I can’t keep avoiding them like this.” She looked at Isabella.
“Let’s find time to visit them together.”
Isabella nodded with a smile.
“Okay.”
The sky was getting darker outside, so they decided to head home.
When they arrived home, the night had already fallen.
Waylon had just come back as well.
He slumped onto the sofa, looking exhausted.
Isabella asked, “Waylon, is being a model really that tiring?”
Waylon leaned his head back against the cushion, closing his eyes.
Then, he opened them and glanced at Isabella.
“I stood in front of the camera all day. I feel like my back is about to break. It’s easier to be an actor.”
“Really? I thought modeling was all about looking pretty and posing,” Isabella said teasingly.
“If it’s tiring, then why don’t you just help with the family business?”
“No, no, no. I’m fine with this job. Being a model is better than doing business.”
Isabella smiled with a touch of resignation.
“So, how have you been lately? Got any big shows coming up?”
“Well, I used to be the talk of the town in showbiz. They’ve set me up for an A-list fashion show—day after tomorrow, actually. So yeah, I’ve been running myself ragged.” Waylon spoke, his tone tinged with exhaustion, yet a vibrant gleam sparkled in his eyes, betraying the pride and excitement he couldn’t quite hide.
After all, coming from such a prominent family, he couldn’t afford to lag behind.
“You really are something else, Waylon,” Isabella teased, playfully ruffling his hair.
“It’s no big deal,” Waylon replied, smiling meekly.
Elaine, observing the interaction, shook her head with a knowing smile.
To her, Isabella, despite being the youngest of her children, often seemed far more composed and mature than Waylon, who came across more like a doted-upon younger brother.
After catching up for a while, Isabella returned to her villa and sent a design draft to Vienna.
Vienna, on the other hand, wasn’t particularly optimistic.
Her husband’s clothing line demanded highly skilled designers, but why would any top-tier designer take an interest in them?
But when Vienna opened the design, her breath caught.
She sat frozen on the edge of the bed, staring at it in disbelief.
Her husband, Luka Calderon, noticing her stunned expression, walked over to investigate.
His reaction was no less astonished.
“Who created this?” he asked after a moment, his tone laced with incredulity.
Vienna pressed her lips together, hesitant.
“Your niece sent it. She said she knows a talented designer who’s willing to provide designs for you.”
“Isabella?” Luka’s expression softened at the mention of his niece.
Even though it had been years since he last saw his sister, he had been keeping tabs on her from a distance.
After all, she was family.
“This design is incredible… but can we even afford it?”
Vienna shared his worry.
She then asked Isabella about the cost.
To her amazement, it turned out it was far lower than what their current designers charged.
Luka frowned in suspicion.
“Why would such an exceptional designer work for us at such a bargain? Could it be that Isabella covered the cost for us?”
Vienna had thought the same, but when she spoke to Isabella on the phone, she had reassured her,
“My friend doesn’t care about money. She just wants her designs showcased to their fullest potential. If Uncle Luka can make this first piece perfect, she’ll happily provide more designs.”
Luka, now brimming with excitement, declared, “I’ll pour everything I’ve got into bringing this design to life. It has to be perfect!”
Vienna allowed a rare smile to grace her lips.
After she expressed her heartfelt thanks to Isabella over the phone, her face clouded with worry once more.
Turning to Luka, she said softly, “You and your sister have been at odds for so long. Why not take this chance to sit down over a meal and let the past stay in the past?”
Luka sighed, the weight of old conflicts evident in his furrowed brow.
“I want to, but I don’t know how my sister feels about me anymore. It’s been so many years.”
“She hasn’t come to see us—maybe she’s still holding a grudge.”
“You were too hot-headed back then. But family is family. I ran into her in a mall today, and she didn’t seem angry…”
As their conversation unfolded, Luka’s concerns gradually softened, replaced by a flicker of determination.
Resolving to bridge the gap, he decided to take the first step and extend an invitation to his sister.
A few days later, Isabella had successfully propelled the company’s film project forward, bringing Edge Entertainment neck-and-neck with Global Entertainment.
