...Reality does not always go hand in hand with hope but that does not mean we have to be overwhelmed by despair....

"Love, sex, passion, desire, longing, all those components must be in a relationship."
The words were conveyed in a lazy but firm tone. Isabell's cupid appearance did not necessarily make her brain shallow when the statement was conveyed very clearly. Isabell didn't need a dictionary or translator to help her decipher what sex was.
That statement was like a pretty harsh slap to him. Their views on marriage were clearly different even though Isabell did not deny what Austin said was true. But the most basic is trust, sincerity and mutual acceptance.
Austin stood up from the chair then stood right in front of him, staring at Isabell with a quick glance from top to bottom. It's obvious that Austin is judging her.
"From everything I mentioned, none of those components are among us. So, why are we married? It's impossible to just play house-house, isn't it?"
Isabell felt his throat dry, his tongue suddenly twisted and his brain blank instantly.
"I know you're a pretty smart girl. But if you don't understand what I'm saying, think about it."
Austin passed leaving a pinch in his heart. The man did not love her and may not like her. Isabell had already guessed the possibility, but guessing by hearing the reality firsthand, it felt very different. Isabell felt as if a needle had pierced his heart.
One very clear fact, Austin did not want their marriage to happen. Is love, **** and passion only measurable by one's appearance? How beautiful and attractive someone is. Should he imitate the looks of the women who have dated Austin.
And Isabell knew that would not happen now. Because all he has to do now is swing his legs to go back to the room and get ready to go to work.
Isabell took only ten minutes to bathe and get dressed. He also does not need excessive makeup for his appearance. Isabell simply put lipstick on her lips and carried her hair neatly, without a strand of hair coming off.
For a moment he stared at his reflection. Starting from his face that there are a bunch of black spots that are quite disturbing. Then she switched to the clothes she was wearing. Clothes that show no body shape at all. From the way his style was dressed, many were fooled by his body weight.
Isabell took a deep breath, slightly lamenting his lackluster appearance. In the past, he was comfortable with his appearance. Now, exactly after his conversation with Austin at the dinner table, he began to be disturbed and uncomfortable.
"Good morning, Mom, Dad." Isabell greeted her future father-in-law who would probably never be her father-in-law. The Willson couple had just crossed the main hall while wiping away sweat. To be exact, Pax Willson was busy wiping his wife's sweat. Both of them just finished exercising.
Seeing this, Isabell was already carried away. Isabell shook his head fortifying his mind before he could imagine that he and Austin would be too.
"Good morning, dear." Alena's forehead frowned confusedly at Isabell's neat appearance. "Where are you going? Working?"
"Yes, Mom. I have to go to work."
"On the weekend?" Pax also thinks it's a strange thing.
"Yes, Dad. There is no time off and I love it. I have to leave if I don't want to be late. Bye Mom, Dad."
