Chapter 306 Admirer
Finished
George exuded an extraordinary air, both in appearance and demeanour, rivalling even the noble princes and earls of the royal family, if not surpassing them slightly.
His close ties with the Duke added to his allure in the eyes of the castle owner, who harboured hopes of winning George over through his daughter.
“My name’s Alice. What about you?” Alice inquired, noticing George’s apparent disregard.
Suppressing her temper, Alice continued, “I love this cake too. Is it for your family? Mind if I have a taste?”
In a cool tone, George replied in Fleoburgian, “It’s for someone special. Please, don’t bother me further.”
Meanwhile, Isabelle returned to the castle, where Liam awaited her.
Despite some initial complaints about not being informed about Jack’s outing, Liam softened at the sight of the happy dog that was wagging its tail.
“I usually let the army accompany Jack since I don’t really take him out a lot.”
Isabelle remarked, “Dogs handle new places differently from cats. Jack seemed to have a blast.”
Liam expressed concern, “But what if he wanders off?”
Isabelle reassured him. “He willingly tagged along
After reviewing the surveillance footage, it was evident that Jack voluntarily hopped into the car.
Liam sighed, addressing the dog. “Bad dog.”
“Woof,” Jack responded.
Just then, the butler entered, announcing, “Your Grace, Mr. Smith and his daughter have brought Mr. Harris back. They’re waiting to see you.”
Liam declined, Tm tied up right now.”
Aware of the casino incident, Liam assured Isabelle, “I’ll handle it according to the law.”
The butler nodded in understanding.
Moments later, George returned with a cake in hand.
“Sorry you had to go through that on my fief,” said Liam politely.
“It is by no fault of yours, Duke,” answered George.
George approached Isabelle directly, questioning, “Were you at the restaurant for lunch?”
Isabelle arched an eyebrow, remarking, “You’re drenched in perfume.”
Isabelle’s heightened senses, a result of her blindness, made even a hint of perfume overwhelming for Isabelle.

Chapter 306 Admirer
Dylan shot a curious glance at George, pondering, Perfume? A woman? What’s Mr. George up to?

Liam observed the unfolding scene, stroking the cat, reflecting on how innocent yesterday’s hand–holding seemed compared to today’s events.
George handed the cake to Dylan, shooting him a meaningful look as if catching him red–handed, tempted to give him a piece of his mind.
He then shrugged off his coat, admitting, “It was unintentional. I’ll be more cautious in the future.”
George had hoped for even a hint of concern from Isabelle, but her indifference mirrored Liam’s.
With a teasing tone, she quipped, “Getting into mischief and returning smelling like a bouquet. Did you have a tête–à–tête with a bird?”
It was likely the daughter of Mr. Smith, the casino owner.
If Isabelle even had a change in tone, George could at least convince himself that she was jealous.
While this left George somewhat disheartened, he reasoned that it was simply Isabelle’s nature. Perhaps he hadn’t yet reached a level of significance to trigger her jealousy.
Dylan thought, That’s my idol for you. She closes her heart for romance. Men only get in the way of her career.
Yeah, right, that was no good luck.
George said, “Let’s shift gears. I popped into the restaurant across the street and snagged you a cake, a birthday treat.”
Isabelle replied, “But you’ve already given me a gift.”
George said, “They’re two different things. A birthday calls for cake, at the very least. He then turned to Liam with courtesy. “Would you fancy a slice?”
Liam said, “No thanks, sweets give me toothaches.”
George answered, “Much obliged, Your Grace, for today’s events.”
Instead, Liam said, “I should be thanking you for keeping the peace. My standing among the people has only risen after today.”
Liam was being sarcastic. He wasn’t in his formal garb, and usually, he brushed off such matters, showing little interest,
However, these two just caused a commotion.
He had to step in.
George sensed the bitterness in Liam’s tone but chose to play dumb, responding simply, “Anytime.”
“Hmph,” Liam retorted icily.
George led Isabelle upstairs, leaving Liam to watch their departure. His attention drawn to Jack, the dog. who seemed equally captivated by George and Isabelle.
Chapter 306 Admirer
Jack still wore his dog tag around his neck.
Liam questioned, “How could you let Smith’s men take him? You were right there!”
Jack turned to his owner and barked insistently.
“I don’t speak dog. Shut it, Liam murmured.
George helped Isabelle onto the sofa and placed the cake on the table.
