Chapter 262: Chapter 274: The Repeated Confessions (11)

She walked over, opened the car door, took a thick envelope from her bag, and placed it in Elijah Smith’s car.

Then she closed the car door, locked it, and walked back to the busy housekeeper, returning the car keys.

...

The Smith Family’s villa district was located in the city center. Many empty cars were parked outside the entrance of the villa district.

Isabel Smith chose one at random, got in, and told the taxi driver the name of the apartment she lived in.

It was almost 11 PM, and Bellshire City seemed somewhat quiet. Since they were on the Fourth Ring Road, there were very few vehicles on the street. Only the colorful neon lights emitting brilliant light, making the entire city seem sleepless.

About forty minutes later, the taxi arrived at the ground floor of the apartment building where Isabel lived. She paid the fare, got out of the car, and first stood by the roadside, looking at the tall buildings in front of her.

From the first floor, she jumped one by one up to the eighteenth floor and could clearly see which building Percy Stanton lived, with the lights still on.

Isabel immediately thought of what Percy had said to her in the company restroom.

It’s after 11 PM, hasn’t he gone to sleep yet?

This night, she went to the Smith family’s house for dinner, partly for Elijah Smith and partly to avoid Percy.

She had actually been deliberately slow, and even on the way back to the apartment, she held a glimmer of hope that Percy wouldn’t wait for her to return and fall asleep first.

But unexpectedly, she was disappointed.

Percy was waiting for her to come back.

Actually, if it was the past, she wouldn’t feel anything wrong with the situation. After all, it was a deal, and she needed to fulfill her obligations.

In the relationship between her and Percy, she had always defined it as an agreement, thinking that after one year, they would settle their debts and owe nothing to each other!

But now, some things seemed to have gone out of her control.

As Isabel thought about this, she became increasingly reluctant to go upstairs, walking back and forth under the dim streetlight in the small garden below the building.

...

Percy went straight back to his apartment after work.

Raymond Thompson hadn’t yet returned from Ravenwood City, so Percy habitually made a video call to ask about his situation today. Most of the time during the call, the Thompson Empire Group’s staff gathered in front of the camera, asking when he would return to Ravenwood City to take over the Thompson Empire Group.

After the call, he looked at some documents for a while. When it was close to ten o’clock, he took a bath, changed into simple clothes, and went to Isabel’s home.

It was extremely quiet inside, and Isabel hadn’t come back yet.

Her scent still lingered in the room. He didn’t turn on the lights and sat in the dark living room for a while, realizing that it was already 10:30 pm. He then left her room and went directly downstairs.

After waiting for more than an hour, Percy finally saw Isabel get out of the taxi.

Percy stood inside the apartment building, separated by a glass door, watching Isabel pacing back and forth next to the little garden below, occasionally looking up at the tall buildings in front of her, and then aimlessly kicking the cobblestone road with a bored expression.

Time ticked by, and the night in autumn grew chilly. The temperature gradually dropped, and she was dressed in a somewhat thin suit from work. Her body was shivering from the cold, and she was constantly stomping her feet on the cobblestone road.

Eventually, she raised her hand to cover her nose and sneezed several times.

Despite this, she showed no intention of going upstairs from beginning to end.

Percy patiently stood behind the glass door, watching every move of Isabel. Still, his eyes gradually darkened, and a cold glint flashed deep within them.

That’s enough!

How long did she intend to hide from him!

Percy’s face seemed calm as ever, but only he knew how turbulent his emotions were inside.
