Chapter 374: Chapter 388: Proposal Gift (22)

She didn’t know how long she had been walking, as if she had covered every street in Seattle, but still couldn’t find her child. In the end, she squatted helplessly in the heavy rain and cried like a child, utterly desperate and disappointed.

There was another photo, of her sitting alone in a cafe with a piece of cake in front of her, a candle stuck in it. Beside her was a bunch of yellow chrysanthemums she bought. The picture was taken on her third birthday since coming to the United States, and it was also the third anniversary of her parents’ deaths. Even after all these years, Isabel Smith could still clearly remember the torment she had gone through that day, sitting in the cafe for the entire day with a heavy heart.

Isabel never knew that one day, the six most miserable years of her life in the United States would reappear in front of her in the form of photographs.

With every photo she looked at, she could feel her emotions at the time. Her heart then became indescribably heavy.

After what felt like an eternity, Isabel came back to her senses. She stared at the photos in her hand for a while before finally realizing, to her dismay, that Percy Stanton was investigating her!

...

Possibly due to a guilty conscience, while Percy was watching Raymond Thompson sleep, he suddenly remembered the express delivery he received a few days ago at Smith Corporation - the investigation materials about Isabel sent by Joseph Tucker from the United States.

Percy had not looked at them since receiving the materials. Today, after work, he unintentionally glanced at them and took them home with the company documents, intending to lock them in the study room cabinet.

When he got home from work, Raymond happened to be back from school and convinced him to go buy fireworks together, so Percy casually threw those materials on the coffee table in the living room.

When they returned, Isabel had already arrived, and Percy had temporarily forgotten about the documents he had left in the living room.

Now, as he left Isabel alone in the living room, he suddenly thought of the documents. Percy’s heart felt a sinking sensation. He couldn’t concentrate when telling Raymond a bedtime story and paused from time to time. Fortunately, Raymond was indeed too tired to pay attention to the story and fell into a deep sleep quickly.

After tucking Raymond in, Percy turned around and left Raymond’s bedroom.

When Percy was closing Raymond’s room door, he unknowingly kept his back to Isabel, perhaps due to a guilty conscience.

After closing the door, he took a deep breath facing the door handle before turning around to look at Isabel.

Percy was some distance away from Isabel, so he couldn’t see what the documents on the coffee table looked like. Turning to Isabel, who was sitting quietly on the sofa, he raised the corner of his lips: "Do you want anything to drink?"

Isabel just stared at Percy without saying anything.

Her expression didn’t seem angry or sad. Percy, who had always thought he could understand Isabel’s emotions, felt unsure.

Percy looked at Isabel for a moment before slowly walking towards her.

As Isabel watched Percy approaching her, she gradually came back to reality, and an emotion she couldn’t describe rose rapidly in her heart.

Percy was investigating her... It took a long while for this thought in Isabel’s confused mind to jump to the next one: what was Percy’s purpose for investigating her?

Everyone has a past that feels like a secret that shouldn’t be told.

Isabel had always appeared so bright and beautiful in front of others. Who would guess that she had struggled in the mud for six years?

Therefore, for Isabel, those six miserable years in the United States were undoubtedly the secret she least wanted to share.
