Chapter 490: Chapter 506: So It’s Him (11)

Isabel took a longing deep breath, feeling the unique, faint scent that belonged to him. She couldn’t help but smile and continued, "No matter what I say, in short, it was wrong for me to forget you."

"Being able to meet you in my lifetime has been truly wonderful..." Isabel’s grinning lips couldn’t help but droop a little: "It’s just a pity that I still ended up making you sad later on..."

Isabel’s eyes filled with a touch of bitterness, and she couldn’t help but close them. She knew the man behind her was sound asleep and couldn’t hear her voice. But she tried her best to speak steadily, recounting the painful past that had nearly killed her, "But honestly, I have no choice. I can’t just be with you and go back to your hometown, living a simple and ordinary life as a woman."

"Although I wish I could live that kind of life."

At this point, Isabel’s heart ached as she said, "Do you know that it has always been my fondest wish...? The moment you told me, I almost nodded my head and recklessly followed you."

Do you know how hard it was for me when I was alone on New Year’s Eve, wandering through supermarkets and shopping malls, watching families happily together? I wished so badly for my own family, and I wanted to..." Isabel choked up, took a deep breath, then continued, "I wanted to live a normal life, so on impulse, I went to the airport... I was so close, so very close, to actually going with you... But then my grandma called me..."

"I needed to get engaged... I had no choice. I had to return to Smith Corporation. I had to make it mine. I had to get engaged to George Vincent because more importantly, he had the 20% of shares I needed. Those shares were essential for me to enter the Board of Directors of Smith Corporation and to be recognized by my grandma... That’s why I could only get engaged to George Vincent..."

Isabel lowered her eyes and fell silent.

Percy lay flat on the bed, his eyes closed and his body still, as if he were deeply asleep.

Isabel stayed quiet for a while, then raised her hand to gently wipe away the tears in the corner of her eyes. She took a breath and continued to speak, revealing the secret she had never told anyone.

Actually, she knew that she’d prefer to tell all of this to an awake Percy. But she was more afraid of implicating him, so she could only imagine that he was awake now. She felt like a willful girl, entrusting all her burdens to a responsible man.

"You might not believe it if I tell you, but it’s almost like a drama you’d see on TV. And yet, it happened to me in reality... The position of General Manager of Smith Corporation that Sebastian Smith holds now was my father’s previous position. When my grandfather was alive, my father joined Smith Corporation and started from the very bottom. My father spent five whole years proving his abilities to my grandfather. After my grandfather’s passing, my grandmother took over the position of CEO and naturally handed the newly vacant position of General Manager to my father. My grandmother placed great hope on my father, and he didn’t disappoint her expectations. He really made Smith Corporation flourish and even expanded some businesses overseas. At that time, I was still very young. My parents were very busy with their work, so Elijah and I often slept in the same bed on rainy nights."
