The lady chased the car, tapping on the window, and said in Fleoburgian, “Mr. Harris, I’m into you. I’ve been waiting for you all afternoon.”
Her voice rang a bell.
Hasn’t she the woman who was in that carriage in Cluebia, about to get whipped by me and Jack?
Isabelle immediately connected the dots between the woman in the carriage and the one who had been all over George, drenched in perfume. Yep, the same person.
That casino big shot, Smith’s daughter, what’s her name? Oh, right. Alice.
Isabelle said, “Chased all the way from Clucbia.”
Then she started the engine.
George asked, “How did you know?”
She couldn’t see at that time.
Isabelle didn’t respond.
George asked again, “Do you want to ‘greet‘ her?”
Isabelle couldn’t care less.
But George cunningly rolled down the car window.
The woman outside felt a surge of joy in her heart and lowered her head to look, “Mr. Harris…
Only to find a girl sitting in the driver’s seat.
The face looked kind of familiar.
Before she could get a good look, the car sped off, leaving the woman choking on exhaust fumes.
The black Maybach darted through the urban jungle.
Neon lights and nightlife outside the window blurred as they sped by.
In the passenger seat, George openly stared at Isabelle. Compared to the last time he rode in her car, where he had to sneak glances, he was way more at ease now.
There is no longer a need to constantly watch his manners.
The phrase “things aren’t like they used to be pretty much summed up his situation.
The memory of Isabelle kissing him that night had been stuck in George’s head for days, even while he was messing with his work.
Right now, it was clearer than ever.

Why did you come to the office to find me? George asked.
Isabelle gave him a look but stayed silent.
Where
e you taking me? He asked next.
That was when he noticed the car was going pretty fast, and Isabelle’s silence made him realise something was off with her mood.
So George stayed quiet and let Isabelle drive.
The car left the bustling city and eventually stopped at the beach.
George got out, feeling the salty sea breeze hit his face, making him more aware of Isabelle’s mood–she didn’t like the beach.
That was when he realised this wasn’t the date he thought it was.
They walked quietly side by side on the sand, leaving two long trails of footprints, one big and one small. Isabelle stayed silent, occasionally glancing at the dark sea, looking like she had a lot on her mind.
In the year George had known her, it was the first time he’d seen her so down and actually showing it. George didn’t know whether to feel relieved, worried, or regretful.
She was relieved that she was sharing her feelings with him, worried about what was going on with her. and regretful that he knew so little about her.
His mind was buzzing with thoughts, trying to figure out what had happened, but he realised he knew too little about her.
His thoughts were like tangled balls of yarn, each one only leading to a short thread.
Joshua’s mom has passed away.
Isabelle finally broke the silence.
She died yesterday and was cremated today. Isabelle had just come from the funeral home, and Joshua had already gone back home.
George looked down at Isabelle’s blank face, feeling a whirlwind of emotions inside.
From the initial joy and surprise of receiving Isabelle’s message and hopping into her car to the concern creeping in when he sensed something was off with her, and now to the disappointment and frustration upon learning the reason.
He never expected that Isabelle would grieve for the death of Deborah.
She didn’t even react this way when she found out about her biological parents‘ deaths.
Back when she lost her sight due to poisoning, he wondered what it would take to make her slightly anxious and to make her emotions fluctuate more.
George said “This is so sudden‘

Isabelle opened her mouth like she wanted to say something, but in the end, she stayed quiet.

Yeah, it’s so sudden. Considering Deborah’s condition, as long as she stuck to the treatment, she could’ve easily lived another decade or more:
If it were indeed the bodies reaching their limits and dying from illness, it wouldn’t have been so heartbreaking. But Deborah committed suicide.
She hid the pills she was supposed to take and lied to doctors, nurses, and even her own son, all while enduring unbearable pain as she watched her life slip away.
Even though she wanted to live and even though she could have lived, she chose to end her life because she couldn’t bear the thought of burdening her son.
Joshua was completely devastated.
George walked silently beside Isabelle, who remained quiet.
After a while, George couldn’t hold back any longer. He reached out and held Isabelle’s hand, squeezing it gently.
He realised that while Isabelle might see him as a gentleman, understanding, and generous, he knew deep down he was nothing like that. He was well aware of his own flaws–he was more of a schemer, someone who held grudges and didn’t always play nice. He wasn’t as magnanimous as she might think.
When it came to his feelings for Isabelle, he could totally respect her, but being magnanimous was just not his thing.
If it were Joshua who had died, George could understand and accept it if she felt sad. But with Deborah
