After Betrayal: Lightning Marriage to Mr. Enigmatic
Chapter 45: Refusal in Public
Chapter 45 - 45: Refusal in PublicIsabella Weaver heard every single sound around her, and before she could think of how to reject him without losing face for either of them, someone in the crowd called out her name.
"Isabella!"
She turned her head to see Milo Field walking out from the crowd with a grim expression.
"Isabella, come with me, alright? You want something to eat? I''ll take you."
The signature warm smile on Milo Field''s face had disappeared, replaced with a hint of anxiety and impatience in his eyes. But with so many phones recording around them, he couldn''t let any emotion slip.
The large group of girls around didn''t notice his tension at all. As soon as they saw him, they started screaming:
"It''s God Field!"
"Oh my God, why is God Field being so good to Isabella Weaver too?" Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"God Field has never invited a girl to eat alone before, what kind of magic does Isabella Weaver have?!"
...
Isabella Weaver used to see Milo Field as a god, even willing to sell her beloved watch and work to pay off the car loan just to gift him a nice car. But now, whenever she saw him, she''d remember that car make-out scene in the club parking lot and wanted to stay as far away from him as possible!
She took a step back and coldly rejected Milo Field: "I''m not going. You should leave!"
"Ah!!! Oh my God, did you hear that? Isabella Weaver rejected God Field!"
"I must''ve heard wrong. Someone pinch me, am I dreaming?"
"But I think Isabella Weaver''s current boyfriend is even more handsome and charismatic than God Field. If I were her, I''d reject him too and choose the guy with the luxury car!"
Milo Field''s face turned even more unpleasant upon hearing these comments.
He couldn''t help but approach Isabella Weaver, lowering his voice: "Isabella, stop it, come with me. I have something very important to tell you."
Isabella Weaver''s eyes showed indifference; so he wasn''t really inviting her for lunch!
His so-called "important thing" must be something about his job, right?
Christopher Weaver even messed up his own biological daughter''s job, there''s no way he''d spare Milo Field!
Milo''s job at the TV station must be gone too, and given Christopher Weaver''s methods, Milo will probably find it hard to get another job.
Suddenly, Isabella Weaver felt a bit of relief!
Finally, Christopher Weaver did something to make her happy!
A smile appeared on her cold face: "Sorry, my boyfriend is waiting for me, I don''t have time now."
Milo Field couldn''t help but frown, and this time he didn''t keep his voice down, speaking so everyone could hear: "Isabella, you''ve only known him for less than a week. He''s not your boyfriend. People from outside campus can be quite dangerous. You''re a girl, you should be more careful, and not run around recklessly."
"If I''m not her boyfriend, are you?"
Harry Hunter''s cold voice suddenly rang out as he pulled Isabella Weaver''s hand and brought her to his side, his presence carrying an inexplicable pressure.
Milo Field hesitated, his teeth nearly grinding to pieces, but he still had to maintain his image, speaking softly: "I''m not, but I''m her good friend. I genuinely care about my friends, Isabella knows that."
Isabella Weaver timely broke his facade: "I don''t know that. We''re not friends. Isn''t Gilly Scott your friend? She''s over there waiting for you. Don''t make her wait too long."
She pointed in a certain direction, and everyone followed the direction of her finger to see Gilly Scott in a bright peach-colored outfit.
