Cannot Bear To Let Go Of My Rich Wife
Chapter 433 - 449: The Late Menstruation (11)

Isabel knew that Percy was photographing her, and she also knew that she should have quickly averted her gaze, pretending not to notice. However, the man was wearing a black trench coat, which accentuated his outstanding figure. Behind him were magnificent temples and tall mountains, making a picturesque scene.

The two stared at each other for a long time, so long that Percy slowly lowered his mobile phone, and with his mesmerizing eyes, looked directly at Isabel.

Even from so far away, Isabel could feel the warmth of Percy’s gaze; she felt it so intensely that her eyes began to hurt. She pursed her lips and hastily turned her head, walking deeper into Maylin Forest.

Percy hurriedly continued down the stairs and followed Isabel’s figure.

It was at the doorway of a hot drink lounge that Percy caught up with Isabel.

At that time, Isabel was talking to a little girl squatting on the ground, crying. Because of the distance, Percy couldn’t hear Isabel’s voice, but he could tell by her expression that she was comforting the crying girl on the ground.

Her demeanor looked very gentle, and Percy couldn’t help but think of the child they had lost. He felt heartache, followed by a strong sense of regret. If their child was still alive, she would undoubtedly be even more tender-hearted.

...

Isabel had walked a long way and was feeling thirsty. She finally saw a place selling hot drinks, but was drawn to a child’s cry instead.

The crying girl squatting on the ground was about six or seven years old. Isabel couldn’t help but feel sympathy, perhaps because she had been thinking of the child she lost. She squatted down, took a paper tissue from her bag, and gently wiped the little girl’s tears, speaking softly, "Little kid, what troubles have you encountered? Why are you crying so sadly?"

Despite her tears still falling, the little girl looked up at Isabel, heartbroken, and said, "My mum lied to me! She said she’d come back for my birthday. But I’ve waited all day, and she hasn’t come. When I called her, she said she was busy with work and would come back in a few days."

"Who do you live with then?"

"Grandma."

The little girl pointed at the hot drink shop. Isabel instantly understood that the elderly lady selling items inside must be the girl’s grandmother. She continued to wipe the girl’s tears with the tissue and said, "Be good, don’t cry... Maybe your mum is really busy and couldn’t make it back in time for your birthday."

"But I’m still so sad, big sister. You don’t know how excited I was waiting for my mum all day, but she broke her promise. I’m really upset."

"Big sister knows," said Isabel, her eyes dimming slightly.

"Big sister, did your mum break a promise to you too?"

"No, it’s about someone very important to big sister. When I called him, he didn’t answer. At that time, I felt just as sad as you."

The little girl’s tears were successfully diverted by Isabel’s words, and she curiously asked, "So, big sister, did you cry like me too?"

"Yes," said Isabel, recalling that night. Although it had been a heartbreaking memory, she smiled slightly and nodded, "Big sister cried for a very, very long time."

Isabel then continued to chat with the little girl until she finally made her laugh. Only then did she stand up, go into the hot drink shop, and buy a bottle of water. She waved goodbye to the little girl before leaving.

After Isabel left, Percy walked over to the little girl. He regarded her curiously and asked, "Little kid, can you tell me what the big sister just now said to you?"
