Chapter 470: Chapter 486: You Promised I Still Have You (28)

Isabel Smith looked at Percy Stanton who had supposedly returned to Ravenwood City, somewhat puzzled, and said subconsciously, "Weren’t you back in Ravenwood City?"

Percy didn’t answer Isabel’s question. Instead, he closed the door of her living room and walked towards her.

Isabel sensed danger from Percy and instinctively stepped back, swallowing her saliva. She asked the man who was getting closer and closer to her, "...Why did you come back to Bellshire?"

Percy stopped right in front of her, barely an inch from her toes, his body pressing against hers.

Isabel subconsciously wanted to step back, but Percy quickly reached out his hand to stop her by the waist. He stared into her eyes and asked, his voice as gentle as the breeze, "Isabel, are you getting engaged?"

He had traveled all the way back to Ravenwood City, only to return to Bellshire, just to ask her face-to-face if she was really getting engaged.

Isabel hid all her emotions in her face, gazing at him with a calm and clear look, not saying anything.

Percy looked back at her patiently, waiting for a while before he continued, his voice still as gentle as water, "Isabel, tell me."

Isabel saw the seriousness in the man’s eyes, her gaze flickered slightly a few times, then she turned away and mumbled an "Mmm."

Isabel’s "Mmm" was very faint, almost inaudible, but Percy heard it loud and clear.

He looked down with unblinking eyes, examining her delicate beauty for a while. Finally, he swallowed, and after a few seconds, he spoke, "Isabel, is this engagement something you willingly agreed to?"

Percy’s demeanor and tone were unusually serious, as if he had crossed a thousand mountains and rivers to stand before her, just to ask her this one question.

Isabel couldn’t help but turn away.

The marriage announcement was made by her grandma without her consent, and although she didn’t agree to it, she did not resist in the end.

So, it should count as her own willingness.

Isabel opened her mouth to speak, but before she could say anything, her eyes welled up with tears. As the pain in her throat became unbearable, she used all her strength to hold back her tears and turned her head to give Percy a forced smile, still only saying, "Mmm."

After two consecutive "Mmm" sounds, he was sure of the news he already knew.

There was a layer of bloodshot in Percy’s dark, deep eyes, and he became completely silent.

Percy’s silence made Isabel’s breathing more and more difficult, as if her heart was being painfully squeezed tightly, unable to breathe, her face became extremely pale.

After a long time, Percy spoke again, his voice a bit hoarse, "Isabel, why?"

When lovers break up, the one who doesn’t want to will ask, why did we break up?

When a person pursues another person, the chased one will ask, why do you like me?

When one person in a marriage cheats, the other party will ask, why did you do this?

Why... these three words, are the most powerless words between lovers.

Actually, love is love, hate is hate, and cheating is cheating. There is no why.

Love itself is without reason, but he still asked.

After asking, he felt like it wasn’t enough, and then he said one more time, "Isabel, why did you suddenly want to get married?"

You will never know how much you like someone until she is about to become another man’s woman.

Percy had always known he liked Isabel, but it was only when he found out she was getting engaged to someone else that he realized how much he loved her.
