Chapter 472: Chapter 488: You Promised I Still Have You (30)

Isabel’s words were really harsh... not wanting to be a stepmother... was she disgusted by him or Raymond Thompson...?

"Isabel, don’t you really like Raymond Thompson?"

"Don’t you know? People are friendly to other people’s children, but when Raymond becomes my child, I won’t be so friendly. In this world, there aren’t many women who truly want to be stepmothers."

"Enough!" Percy Stanton suddenly interrupted Isabel’s voice, his eyes becoming unpredictable as he stared into hers. After a while, he took a deep breath and said, "Isabel, you’re really something. You’ve really made me start to dislike you a little!"

After saying that, Percy let go of Isabel’s waist, took two steps back, turned around and left without looking back.

Isabel stood there motionless, hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, footsteps, and then the door opening and closing again before the room fell completely silent.

After a long time, Isabel finally took a step towards the bed and sat down, feeling weak. She buried her face in the quilt.

She thought Percy must be furious and would never come to see her again.

That would be good...so she could marry George Vincent and concentrate wholeheartedly on doing what she was supposed to do.

What a beautiful wish come true...but Isabel couldn’t help feeling miserable deep down.

That man was her first love, the one who promised her the life she longed for. From now on, where would she find another man to be her first love, one who could warm her heart?

As Isabel thought about this, she began to cry. She didn’t want to live like this, but for the past six years, she had been determined to avenge her parents. Was she now going to selfishly give up her revenge?

She didn’t know how her revenge would end, so she wouldn’t drag him along with her.

She was reluctant to let Elijah Smith bear such a burden, so how could she possibly let Percy share it?

Percy said she should let go of the burden and heaviness on her shoulders, but when she closed her eyes, she saw her restless, deceased parents in the realm of the dead.

...

So Percy hastily went to Bellshire that night and then rushed back to Ravenwood City on a private plane.

By the time he returned to the Thompson Family Estate, it was already 4 a.m. The revelers had dispersed and gone to sleep.

But Percy wasn’t the least bit sleepy; his spirits were high. He went to the wine cellar at the back of the Thompson Family Estate, took a bottle of whiskey, and opened it. Like drinking water, he raised his head and gulped it down.

Without blinking, he drank the whole large bottle of western wine, pouring it all into his stomach. After finishing, he picked up the empty bottle and smashed it against the wall with force.

The smashed pieces resembled his heart, shattered into fragments, then began to ache dully; not just for himself, but also for the night he confessed his love to her and the future life he had meticulously depicted.

At that time, her eyes were full of expectation, so why did she give up in the end?

What was so good about Bellshire?

What was so good about Smith Corporation?

Why did she insist on clinging to it?

Was it more important than her happiness and joy?

...

Isabel moved out of the apartment Percy had given her on the second day of the first lunar month.

Actually, she should have moved out right after their agreement had ended, but she had dragged her feet until the last possible moment.

Mrs. Smith had mentioned letting Isabel move back to the Smith Family home, but not wanting to face Sebastian Smith and his family, Isabel just smiled and said nothing. So, when she left Percy’s apartment, Isabel chose a commercial and residential building near Smith Corporation.
