Chapter 383: Chapter 397: Proposal Gift (31)

Isabel Smith remained dazed for a long time before turning her head to glance at the spot on her right where Percy Stanton always sat. She opened her mouth, only to feel a strange void in her heart, as if she had lost something.

This kind of incident had actually happened to Isabel several times within three days. She used to have lunch in the ground floor company restaurant with Percy frequently during her workdays. Percy would usually stand in line to get their food, but one day at noon, she found herself sitting blankly at the dining table for over an hour. Only when she noticed that all the other employees had finished their meals and left did she mutter, "Percy, I’m starving. Why haven’t you bought the food yet?"

Then, she realized that Percy was gone, and she needed to get her own food.

Isabel leaned on the dining table and stood up, just to find that most of the cafeteria windows were closed. In the ones that were still open, there was hardly any food left. Suddenly feeling wronged and losing her appetite, she went upstairs to continue working on an empty stomach.

At this time, the heating was on in Bellshire, causing high temperatures and dryness during the night. Isabel would feel thirsty in the middle of the night. After waking, she habitually reached out to nudge the person next to her, expecting Percy to pour her a glass of water.

But, just like the previous nights, all she touched was the cold quilt.

Isabel slowly opened her eyes, looked at the empty half of the bed under the moonlight through the window, and stayed dazed for a while. She got out of bed, walked to the tea table in her bedroom, and tried to pour water from the kettle, only to find it empty. She went to the small refrigerator in her bedroom and realized there was not a single bottle of the mineral water she preferred. She held the plastic cup and walked towards the water dispenser in the living room, only to discover that it was also empty.

Isabel opened the refrigerator; all the fruits and milk that used to be packed there had been eaten by her in the past few days.

Only then did Isabel realize that three days after Percy had left her, she even lacked water to quench her thirst.

While holding the water cup and staring at the empty refrigerator, Isabel suddenly realized that she hadn’t seen Percy for three days and three nights. And during these three days and three nights, she had been living so roughly.

She did not used to be like this. In the United States, she would wash her own clothes, prepare water by her bed before sleep, go eat Chanaea food in the Little Local Village alone, prepare fresh fruits and milk in advance, and buy snacks for herself...

When had all these things she once did for herself been replaced by actions of another man?

Isabel tilted her head, trying to remember, but she could not figure it out. All she vaguely remembered was, one day, she found fruits that could pass her lips whenever she wanted, milk that could be drunk at any time, and water she could get from the water dispenser whenever needed.

She did not know when Percy had noticed that she liked eating fruits, drinking milk, and drinking water, or when he had taken over these tasks and arranged everything perfectly for her.

Only now did she realize that a man had insidiously changed her well-established independence and autonomy.

No wonder people say that habits are the most powerful things.

Behind habits is nature.

At this moment, Isabel had to admit that man had quietly entered her life and was omnipresent.

Just like now, even when she woke up in the middle of the night wanting a drink, she subconsciously looked for him. Without him, does she even have no water to drink?

Initially feeling very sleepy, Isabel suddenly perked up. She leaned on her bed, held the remote control, and turned on the TV. A funny variety show was being replayed, which she used to enjoy. But now, it felt completely tasteless. She had absolutely no mood to watch it.
