Leave Me Alone, Mr Shaffer

Isabella felt guilty. Her relationship with Seth had been unclear before, and she worried that if they stayed together under the same roof, even for just one night, Victoria would see through it.

“Do you not have any other houses?” Isabella asked.

“Why would | buy so many houses in Bleaktown for no reason?” Seth replied. Isabella considered suggesting that he stay in a hotel, but then she thought it would be inappropriate since the house belonged to Seth.

“Then I'll take my mother back to our old house.”

“Your old house hasn’t been visited for years. It might have been taken over by rats,” Seth spoke without any courtesy.

Isabella was speechless.

“I'll stay in the backyard, away from your mother,” Seth offered, taking a step back. Isabella breathed a sigh of relief. “Does the house have two entrances?”

Seth responded indifferently.

With nothing more to say, Isabella forcefully pulled her arm away.

“I'll go settle my mother first.”

“Your mother is fine now. You don’t need to follow her everywhere.”

He took the opportunity to grab her again, then forcefully pulled her into the car. “Drive.”

Isabella was startled. She sat up straight and quickly called Victoria in the car ahead, telling her not to be afraid.

Seeing her nervousness, Seth snorted lightly, but his complexion eased.

The villa was nearby and not very large. Victoria was taken to the front yard while Isabella followed Seth to the backyard.

“I'll go check on my mother.”

As soon as the car stopped, Isabella immediately went to open the car door, not giving Seth a chance to stop her.

Watching her run around the row of villas to the front yard, he couldn't help but clic tongue.

In the front yard, Victoria got out of the car and didn’t see Isabella at first, feeling a bit 317

uneasy. But soon, Isabella ran over from the back.

“Mom, let’s go inside first.”

Victoria looked around at the people nervously. “Bella, are these your boss’ people?” Isabella nodded. “Yes. He lent them to me.”

“Your boss is a good person.”

As Victoria spoke, a look of sadness appeared on her face. “I’ve caused you trouble.” Isabella felt a pang in her heart. Holding back her tears, she helped Victoria into the house.

The house was very clean, as if someone had just cleaned it the day before.

Victoria was full of emotions, holding Isabella’s hand and continuously asking about

Seth’s situation. “I've seen him.”

Isabella was startled. “What?”

Victoria smiled and said, “On TV.” Isabella breathed a sigh of relief. She had been quite scared. “He looks quite young and handsome.”

Victoria listed one point after another, then suddenly grabbed Isabella's hand, stal

her. Not long after, tears flowed down her face.

Isabella quickly squatted down. “Mom, what's wrong?”

“I'm sorry, Bella. I’ve held you back...”

“No.” Victoria shook her head vigorously, grabbing Isabella's hand. “Bella, don't blame

Isabella was confused by her words, but she could only nod her head.
