Isabella held the cup, momentarily speechless. You’ve already taken a sip from it, and
now you want me to drink from the same cup?
Undeterred, Seth brought the cup to her lips. “Hmm?” he questioned.
Isabella found herself caught in a mental struggle, unable to find the right words to
express her feelings. Since last night, she had noticed Seth behaving strangely. The
incident this morning was odd, and now it was even more perplexing.
This subtle flirtation was more dangerous than an overt offense. She was fully aware of
it, yet she couldn’t outright refuse. Maintaining her composure, Isabella turned the
around and took a sip from the side that Seth hadn’t touched, then quickly put the li
back on.
Seth raised an eyebrow, withdrew his gaze, and rested his temple on his hand, closing

his eyes once again.

Isabella kept her face calm, but her eyes betrayed a hint of confusion as she tried her
best to avoid looking at Seth. Driving back to Imperia from Bleaktown was a shorter
and smoother journey compared to taking a plane.
Considering Seth’s unusual injury, going through security checks would have been
troublesome, so driving back directly was a better option.
Throughout the journey, Seth kept his eyes closed, clearly not in the best condition.
Isabella thought about the wound. If it had been slightly off, it could have been fatal.
The thought sent shivers down her spine. She didn’t close her eyes for the entire trip.
constantly observing Seth.
Upon reaching Imperia, even before they entered the city, Erin’s call came through.

Jordan didn’t hand the phone to Seth but instead gave it directly to Isabella.
“It’s from Mrs. Shaffer,” he informed her.
Isabella was surprised, took the phone, and greeted Erin quietly.
“Bella, are you and Seth okay?” Erin asked.
Isabella glanced at Seth and whispered, “We’re fine.”
“So, when you get home, are you going to abandon Seth?” Erin sighed.
Isabella was puzzled, finding the choice of words strange.
Erin continued, “Seth is injured, and he’s not being cooperative. If you don’t coax him, he
definitely won’t take his medicine or rest.”

Isabella pouted, knowing that Seth’s stubbornness couldn’t be solved by coaxing. “Mrs.
Shaffer, the butler can…”
“No,” Erin interrupted, making a direct request. “My dear girl, why don’t you stay at the
mansion for a few days and take care of Seth?”
Isabella was taken aback. Although grateful, this request seemed a bit excessive. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Thinking about it, ever since she mentioned resigning to Seth, they had been constantly
getting hurt, indicating their incompatibility.
She turned to look at Seth, who had just opened his eyes. He had been sleeping for half
of the journey, and now that he was awake, he immediately displayed impatience.
Isabella thought he was going to lose his temper, but Seth simply glanced at her,
pressed his thin lips together tightly, and hummed before closing his eyes again.
On the phone, Erin continued to persuade her. Looking out the window, they were

already on their way to the mansion.
“Bella, please, take care of Seth for me. Seth is all alone. He’s so pitiful.”
Isabella remained silent.
“I leave him in your care. Love you,” Erin said.

The call came to an end. Isabella handed the phone back to Jordan without saying a
word. Seth had suffered a serious injury this time, and it would take at least two
months for him to recover.
If she were to take care of him, it would require at least ten days to half a month. This
was truly troublesome.
Just as she was contemplating, the car had already arrived near the mansion. The old
butler was waiting outside with a crowd, as if they were welcoming an emperor.

The car came to a stop, but Seth didn’t open his eyes. No one dared to call out to him,
so everyone inside and outside could only wait.
Jordan sat in the front, clasping his hands together and making a pleading gesture
toward Isabella.
Isabella remained silent.
