Chapter 677: Don’t fall in love casually
After a long discussion, Izabella and Callie decided to buy a better quality pen for Antonio as a token of appreciation for the time he had given them both math tutoring.
When Izabella first arrived at the Lloyd family, Alicia gave Izabella a card for living expenses and Alicia put $5, 000 into it every month for Izabella’s pocket money.
But that card Izabella never used, she had money on hand, her grandmother had left her enough money for college before she died.
Of course, the money is not much, worth enough to pay for four years of college tuition.
So since her grandmother died, Izabella has been working part-time on weekends and in the summer and winter to earn money, only to have her aunt and uncle take it away from her in the name of helping her save money.
At first Izabella would not resist, her thin skin and the helplessness of being a hostage kept her from saying anything.
But since her period came, when she didn’t even have money to buy tampons, Izabella stopped giving her aunt and uncle the money from her part-time job.
She stopped saying where she was going every summer and weekend, and she would only put a third of the money she earned during the summer and winter on her person, and let Arlo save the rest for her.
From her junior year to her current sophomore year, Izabella has saved almost 20, 000, although she hasn’t saved a lot of money either.
Now that she’s in the Lloyd family, she has everything Alicia thoughtfully buys for her in advance, and she doesn’t really have to spend much money.
So even without the money from the card Alicia gave her, Izabella still has money to spend.
Although Callie has a lot of pocket money, she is used to buying expensive and good things, and actually has little money on hand.
This time out, her mother gave her a thousand dollars, Callie also dare not pick the expensive to buy.
The two shopped around and finally went to an old fountain pen store inside and bought a fountain pen that was over a thousand for five hundred each.
This is the first time in Izabella’s life that she has bought something so expensive.
She looked at the exquisitely wrapped gift box and was now acutely aware of how poor she used to be.
“What’s the matter, Izabella, does it seem a little expensive?”
Callie knows a little bit about Izabella, knowing that she was adopted by Alicia.
But Izabella is at that age before she was adopted, which is actually quite embarrassing.
She usually gets along with Izabella can also see that Izabella is very frugal, so many times, Callie will not spend a lot of money in front of Izabella, afraid that she mind hard.
The thousand dollar pen, while not expensive for her, is obviously not the same for Izabella.
Izabella withdrew her gaze and shook her head, “No, it’s beautifully wrapped.”
Callie looked at her and was relieved to see that she didn’t have a different look on her face: “Hahaha, I didn’t think so until you said so, the packaging is really exquisite, Antonio must really like it!”
Izabella was also a little happy to hear this from Callie.
After all, Antonio has been helping them with math for a month and a half, and the progress is visible.
The clerk handed them the filled bags and Callie took them, “Izabella, you keep them, I lose them and leave them inside the house easily.”
“Ohhhh, okay.”
Izabella turned sideways and moved her duffel bag in front of Callie.
The two strolled for more than two hours, and it was lunchtime in a flash.
Callie took Izabella to eat spicy hotpot, Izabella’s first time eating spicy hotpot, spicy her lips are a little red and swollen, but the exciting taste is somewhat addictive, although spicy, but also quite delicious.
Callie was sleepy after lunch and yawned sickly next to Izabella: “So sleepy, Izabella.”
Izabella was embarrassed, “Let’s go sit in the cafe?”
“Nnnn.”
Izabella and Callie entered the cafe on Saturday and there was no room for them, so Callie was brave enough to drag Izabella to share a table with someone else.
The two ordered the cheapest cup of coffee and Callie just sat down and fell asleep with Izabella in her arms.
Izabella was embarrassed and took out her English book from inside her school bag and started to memorize the words.
Callie said to sleep, probably stayed up late last night, 1:00 to 2:00, Izabella called several times to wake people up.
When the two arrived at the library it was already 2:30. Izabella had just finished the English paper and the language paper had finished all the previous questions, just one essay to go.
Callie arrived at the library still yawning, sat down mentally wobbly, and didn’t get up in earnest until after 4:00.
The two stayed at the library until 6pm when Callie’s mother came to pick them up.
Izabella came back to the villa already at 6:30, today Marcus came back, Izabella was a little happy: “Marcus.”This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Izabella.”
Marcus nodded and handed her the lipstick in his hand, “Got it in a raffle.”
Izabella was stunned for a moment, a little surprised: “Here, for me?”
Marcus couldn’t help but laugh when he heard her say that, “Or what? You let me, a guy, wear lipstick?”
Izabella blushed a little and reached out to take the lipstick, “Thank you Marcus.”
Marcus laughed a little, “It’s nothing.”
Victor was coming down the stairs, his eyes fell on the tube of lipstick in Izabella’s hand, raised an eyebrow, and walked over to Marcus to sit down: “Good luck.”
Marcus gave him a look, “I didn’t expect that either.”
Victor grunted, “Marcus, don’t any girls ever ask you for lipstick?”
Marcus’s hand holding the chopsticks gave a slight beat: “It’s because it’s there that it’s brought back to Izabella.”
The lipstick is only one tube, we are all classmates, he naturally will not accept the money, but to whom it is not good, thinking that there is still Izabella at home, Marcus directly said to take home to his sister.
When he said that, those girls naturally didn’t think otherwise.
Alicia came out of the kitchen, “Marcus, got a girlfriend, huh?”
Marcus gave Alicia a helpless look, “I’m only nineteen this year, Mom.”
“What’s wrong with nineteen? Your father and I, we’ve been together since we were eighteen!”
Alicia said, smiling at Izabella from the side of her head, “But Izabella is a good boy, don’t just fall in love.”
Izabella stiffened in embarrassment, “I won’t, Aunt Alicia.”
“Auntie knows, our Izabella is the best behaved!”
Victor glanced across at Izabella, and his peachy eyes twitched slightly.
No?
Is it that you will not fall in love early, or that you will not fall in love easily?
Gee, that’s a big difference.
Alicia finished and then looked at Marcus: “By the way, what’s your girlfriend’s name, Marcus?”
Marcus, who thought the subject had changed: “… Mom, I really don’t have a girlfriend.”
“Oh.”
Alicia gave Marcus a look, “Then you’re not as good as your father.”
Marcus: “…”
Is that something to be proud of?
