Chapter 360: Chapter 374: Proposal Gift (8)

With his trembling fingers gripping the mobile phone, Percy Stanton swallowed hard, and after a long pause, asked, "Where are you?"

Isabel Smith didn’t notice Percy’s unease and spoke in a slightly reproachful tone, "I’m still at the entrance of the Bellshire Grand Hotel."

Percy furrowed his brow. Without saying anything, he subconsciously controlled the steering wheel with one hand and increased the car’s gas pedal, turning around on the road ahead and rushing toward the Bellshire Grand Hotel.

Isabel waited for a while but didn’t hear Percy’s voice, so she asked with confusion, "Percy, are you still there? Did the line get cut off?"

Percy came back to his senses and saw he hadn’t responded. His heart was already subconsciously controlling the car, driving towards the Bellshire Grand Hotel, and he felt a hint of helplessness at the bottom of his heart.

A second ago, he was feeling apprehensive and uneasy because of the news Evelyn Osbert told him, but now, because of her phone call, he forgot everything and went looking for her.

Everyone will encounter a hurdle in their life.

For Percy Stanton, Isabel Smith was the biggest hurdle, and he could never seem to overcome it.

"No..." Percy collected himself, uttered one word, then realized his voice was laced with bitterness. He moistened his lips and cleared his throat before saying, "Wait for me; I’ll be right there."

"Okay." Holding her mobile phone, Isabel obeyed in a well-behaved tone, then added, "But hurry up, my phone is about to die. I’ll hang up now, and if you can’t find me, be sure to call me."

"Mm."

Before hanging up, Isabel thought for a moment, and changed her words again, saying, "Although I’m very cold and anxious, make sure to pay attention to safety while controlling your speed."

The lingering depression in Percy’s heart seemed to dissipate slightly because of her words. He seemed more spirited, and his voice wasn’t as tense as he replied "Mm," before hanging up the phone.

...

After driving aimlessly for more than an hour, it took him only forty minutes to drive back to where he started.

He parked his car on the roadway opposite the Bellshire Grand Hotel.

At this time, there were very few vehicles on the street.

Before he got out of the car, he saw Isabel standing under a dim street light through the car window. The girl rubbed her hands together while continuously hopping in place.

Percy hurried out of the car, didn’t even lock it, and strode across the road toward Isabel.

Halfway across the road, Isabel spotted him. She immediately raised her hand and waved vigorously at Percy, shouting with apparent joy, "Percy, Percy, I’m here!"

Percy frowned and quickened his pace. In no time at all, he was in front of Isabel and saw her red nose as she gasped for breath. He immediately removed his suit jacket without any hesitation and draped it over Isabel.

Lately, Isabel had been acting more and more naturally in front of Percy, unaware of her own transformation.

This night, she felt elated after causing such a big problem for Sebastian Smith and his family. So waiting here in the cold for nearly three hours for Percy to show up didn’t make her the least bit annoyed.

But now that Percy had appeared and covered her with his jacket, she felt a faint hint of displeasure in her heart, "Percy, where did you go? We clearly agreed to meet here after the banquet, so why didn’t you show up sooner?"

Percy didn’t know how to answer Isabel’s question, so he lowered his eyes and simply said, "I’m sorry." Then, he bent down to pick up the high heels Isabel had taken off, held them in front of her, lifted her foot, and helped her put them on.
