Chapter 475: Chapter 491: You Promised I Still Have You (33)

Isabel didn’t know why Percy Stanton called her in the middle of the night, but the phone call kept her up most of the night. It wasn’t until the early morning that she finally fell asleep.

However, she did not know that, unable to understand how wonderful Bellshire actually was, Percy returned to Ravenwood City overnight with his son, only to return to Bellshire City before the 15th.

This time, when he returned to Bellshire City, Percy was not expecting to work there. He planned to take over Thompson Empire Group at the end of February. However, Percy chose his workplace in Bellshire, as the scope of Thompson Empire Group was pretty vast, and he even brought a male assistant from Ravenwood City on a special assignment.

He still lived in the same apartment as before. As soon as they arrived at the 18th floor via elevator, Raymond Thompson, with his school bag on his back, excitedly ran to the door of Isabel’s apartment and knocked on it with all his strength.

Percy did not try to stop him; he just threw the luggage of documents he brought from Ravenwood City into the apartment, pretending to close the door, walked to the door, only to find Raymond still knocking on it.

Was Isabel not at home?

Percy frowned and saw Raymond, with his school bag on his back, walked to his side with a disappointed look, raised his head, and said sadly, "Father, my sister Isabel is not home."

Percy hummed in response and signaled Raymond to go take a bath. But while closing the door, Percy glanced twice at the door of Isabel’s apartment, feeling a growing uneasiness in his heart.

In the end, Percy took advantage of Raymond’s bath time, used the key he had for Isabel’s apartment, and opened the door.

His key still worked. She hadn’t changed the lock...Percy let out a sigh of relief as he stepped inside, only to find that many things were missing. His heart skipped a beat as he quickly walked toward Isabel’s bedroom, opened the door, and found the bed, table, and wardrobe were all empty.

Percy stood in the bedroom for a while before realizing: Isabel had moved out.

His heart felt like it was being squeezed by an invisible hand. It hurt so much that he gasped for air.

He felt that he and Isabel were getting further and further apart.

...

Before the tenth day of the first lunar month, Bellshire City was already bustling with excitement. Office workers from different places returned to start a new year of work.

Neither Isabel nor Percy was an exception.

One was busy with Smith Corporation, the other with the handover work of the Thompson Empire Group. Both were extremely busy, with neither contacting the other. Although in the same city, they didn’t seem to have the luck to meet.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, two days before Isabel’s engagement and in the midst of the night, Percy happened to drive by the Smith Corporation building.

It wasn’t just a coincidence. Percy had deliberately detoured. It was already 7 PM, and he thought Isabel should be off work by now. Although he didn’t have much hope, he saw the light still on in her office when he reached the Smith Corporation building.

He always wanted to fight for her, but he never found a good way to approach Isabel.

Percy waited downstairs for about three hours. At around 12 o’clock midnight, he finally saw Isabel come out of Smith Corporation.

She went around the corner to a twenty-four-hour convenience store and picked up a few things. Then she took out a bottle of drink from her purchase, opened it, took a sip, and carried it along with her other items as she left.

She didn’t hail a cab, just walked along the road. Percy drove his car at a considerable distance behind her, following slowly.

Within fifteen minutes, he saw Isabel enter a mixed-use building.
