Chapter 172
Meanwhile, Leonard personally drove Seth and the rest of them home. He
hadn’t paid much attention to Seth’s earlier expression. Considering that
Isabella used to be Dariel’s good friend, Leonard immediately asked Dariel for
Isabella’s contact information after Gordon took her away. Dariel gave
Leonard a mysterious smile before nodding towards Simon. “You can ask
Simon for her contact. I don’t have the courage to give it to you.”
Leonard was confused, but he turned to Simon. “Simon?” Simon was
speechless. He had just blocked Isabella the night before, so he didn’t have
any means of contacting her. “I don’t have it,” he replied. Leonard was utterly
dumbfounded at that point. What’s happening? Is it really that difficult to get
a beautiful woman’s contact information?
Seth, who had been closing his eyes and pretending to nap, spoke up at that
moment. “13…” The man’s voice was deep as he uttered a string of numbers
that he seemed familiar with. It was almost as if he was stating his own
phone number. Once Leonard realized this, he quickly typed the numbers into
his phone before searching for Isabella’s account. Leonard had just sent her
a friend request when he realized how strange the situation was.

“How do you know that beautiful woman’s number, Seth?” Leonard asked.
Both Dariel and Simon exchanged glances before bursting into laughter.
Jerry couldn’t tolerate the tension in the car any longer, so he reached over
and smacked Leonard on the head. “Are you an idiot?”
“Well…” Leonard was puzzled.
“Weren’t you thinking about that silly, wealthy woman from the night before?”
Dariel asked. Leonard widened his eyes in surprise. “Was that… her?” The
woman who used Seth’s card to buy a car… Leonard smacked himself on the
forehead as he quickly pulled out his phone to cancel his friend request.
However, his phone vibrated at that exact moment. It was a notification
indicating that someone had accepted his request.
“Uh oh…” Dariel mumbled. Leonard felt fear creeping up his scalp-he was too
afraid to turn around and look at Seth then. Seth opened his eyes and let out
a scoff. “She’s a woman with high standards. The fact that she accepted your
request so quickly probably suggests that she’s interested in you,” Seth
commented.
Leonard was terrified-he felt the urge to strangle himself to death right then.
“But… Seth… I…”
“Don’t you want to chat with her for a bit?” Seth rested his chin on his palm as
he gazed at Leonard with a slight smile on his face. Leonard didn’t know what
to say, so he ended up scratching his head and handing his phone over to
Seth. “Why don’t you chat with her instead, Seth?”
Seth frowned as he lowered his gaze to look at the phone in front of him. The
other four guys turned to look at him for a while, but Seth didn’t feel
pressured by their gazes. He calmly took the phone and spun it around
between his fingers. He glanced at the chat as he thought about ways to
play around with Isabella.
“Do you know how to send flirtatious texts, Mr. Shaffer?” Dariel leaned over
and playfully stuck his tongue out. He clearly looked like he was ready to
teach Seth a trick or two. He leaned forward so much that he seemed like he
was about to climb over to Seth’s seat just to help him send a text.
Seth blinked a few times before reaching over to pull up the divider that
separated the front and back seats of the car. This divider immediately
blocked Dariel’s view of Seth and the phone. “How petty,” Dariel muttered
under his breath. Once there wasn’t anyone snooping around, Seth returned
his attention to the phone and continued his earlier train of thought.
Meanwhile, Leonard continued driving and spoke to Seth. “You’ll have to
return my phone to me once you get home, right, Seth?”
Seth ignored the other man. He was completely absorbed in his own world.
Leonard let out a regretful sigh-he shouldn’t have let his male urges get the
better of him. Seth sat in the back seat and pondered for a long while before
eventually sending a random emoticon to start the chat.
In Gordon’s car, Isabella was still wondering about Leonard’s intentions when Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
she felt her phone vibrating. Leonard sent me a… basic smiley face. She
blinked dazedly. I have no idea what he’s trying to do. Most youngsters
nowadays would know that this emoticon is the number-one conversation
killer. Why would he send this to me? Isabella couldn’t figure out what he was
trying to do, so she ended up mimicking his actions. She sent the exact same
emoticon back to him
