Isabell went into the room still with a gloomy mood that had not diminished at all. Still not out of thought with Austin's behavior that looks like he is playing tricks on him. Isabell really wanted to teach the man more than a slap.
Uncomfortable with the anger still thrashing, Isabell stepped wide into the toilet. Remove the glasses and then wash your face rough. He also looked at his reflection after putting his glasses back on. Wondering in his mind, does one seem to be unworthy of love?
The mother who gave birth to me had the heart to throw me away, so it is no wonder that I am not worthy of love.
But do I have to stay silent to be treated like this? If I just keep quiet, then Austin will still underestimate my feelings, he will continue to act brash.
I have to do something? I will make him look at me and show that I cannot be underestimated!
But how?
Isabell. He didn't know how to crush those wild bandits.
What if you take your tooth wire off?
The words of Austin suddenly rang. Isabell then looked at his face more closely. Imagine himself removing braces and glasses.
If physical appearance could make him turn his head towards me, should I do it?
What would be different if I took all that off. Am I not still Isabell?
Isabell shook his head, he too confidently assumed that just by removing his glasses and braces he would look beautiful. Beautiful physical is not a benchmark for someone getting love. Isabell tried to strengthen himself.
But Austin is always surrounded by beautiful women.
"Looks like I need a doctor of love." Isabell moved away from the mirror, then turned to leave the toilet.
"Let's forget about your problems, Isabell. Sleep time! Even though your physique is less attractive, you still need healthy skin and full energy to face tomorrow.
The next day, Isabell woke up at eight. He missed his morning exercise. He also went to clean his body. Today, he entered the afternoon. There's still time to laze around.
After the bath, Isabell went downstairs to have breakfast. It was a little surprised by the view at the dinner table. Everyone gathered there without exception. Isabell was embarrassed to wake up.
It's in business hours. Okay, Steve probably won't be working because he's been taking time off while Lexi's pregnant. But what about Darren? why is that guy still there in casual clothes? Prospective father-in-law is also usually not at home at this hour. And Austin should still be sleeping.
"Good morning. I'm late getting up."
"No one will punish you, sit down." Darren was the one who replied first before the others returned his greeting.
Pax sits on the far right, on the right side is his wife, on the left there is Austin. While Darren sat next to his mother and next to her was Lexi. Steve himself sat at the other end of the table. Dealing with Pax. One more seat, right next to Austin. The man pulled a chair for Isabell.
Without saying thank you, Isabell landed her ass. If this were in the palace, he would definitely get a reprimand from the empress and would be punished.
"What do you want to eat, honey?" alena's voice stopped her thoughts from drifting into the past. "There's bread, omelets, cereals, bacon, waffles?"
"I'll take Mom myself."
"Mom will prepare for you."
"But ..."
" I'm more tempted by the waffle, Mom."
"All right." Alena filled Isabell's plate as she wanted. The middle-aged woman also poured vanilla milk for him. For milk, Isabell likes all flavors.
"Thank you" said Isabell, receiving his plate. Tell me, who doesn't want to stay here? Isabell, hungry for a mother's attention, can quench her thirst here with her super-maternal Alena.
"Slowly getting up, because it's too good or because you stayed up all night?" this time Pax is the one who speaks.
"I sleep well, Dad. Do you see any dark circles in my eyes?"
Pax raised his head, watching Isabell closely. "No. Good, I think this house doesn't make you comfortable."
"I like it here" he admitted honestly.
"Not working today?" Steve handed over the chocolate topping that Isabell immediately received with a wide grin. Isabell is used to enjoying waffles with a blend of chocolate and strawberries. Alena just put the strawberry slices on top of her waffle.
"You are always very attentive" Isabell said without any intention of praising or seducing.
"That's why my wife loves me so much" yes, the answer always carries her name. "So, you're not working today?"
"Later afternoon."
"Yeah, can't you just put yourself away." Lexi's the one who's making the sound. "Me and Steve will be back tomorrow. Today, we plan to go to the beach. Come with us."
"I think I'm gonna have a hard time getting permission. I had a holiday yesterday."
"You want to come?" Darren asked him. Isabell tilted his head to look at the man. Darren was staring at him too. "I'm asking." Darren clucked lazily who immediately got a sharp shot from the mother.
"I like the beach but..."
"I'll call your manager then."
"Mrs. Jones won't ..."
Isabell stopped saying because Darren was already in action. Her sister-in-law was talking to her manager.
"Okay, thank you, Romy. I'll set my schedule to meet you." Darren disconnects the phone and raises his head to look at Isabell. "You can take a day off today."
Isebell nodded his head quickly. "Mrs. Jones is always weak when dealing with handsome men especially those who are as strong."
"Romy Jones?" Steve asked before Darren chimed in on Isabell's statement.
"You know him too?" Isabell asked back.
"If you're referring to Romy Jones who has an affinity for men. I think I know him."
"Yes, there he is. He likes nice guys."
"So you mean, he likes Darren?" And finally Austin made his voice.
