Isabella picked up the bouquet of champagne roses, sniffed thers, and softly murmured, “Did you buy them on a whim?”
She was a bit doubtful, feeling that it wasn’t the case.
She didn’t say anything more.
After finishing her skincare routine, Isabella took the flowers and went to the balcony.
When Samuel came out of the bathroom, he noticed the fresh flowers in the vase on the vanity had been replaced by the bouquet of roses, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
But Isabella was nowhere to be seen in the room, which made Samuel frown slightly in confusion. He walked out to look for her.
Downstairs in the kitchen.
Standing at the top of the stairs, Samuel saw Isabella busy in the kitchen. He walked over just as Isabella came out holding a plate of food.
Seeing Samuel, she told him, “Grab forks and have a bite to eat.
Since he came home early, he obviously hadn’t eaten yet.
Samuel looked at the food on the table–just three simple dishes and a soup, but the aroma was incredibly tempting.
The scene brought a warm light to Samuel’s eyes, and he softly replied, “Sure.”
He walked towards the dining table.
After grabbing the forks, he picked up a bottle of red wine and two glasses from the wine rack. Isabella was drawn by the noise and caught sight of this moment.
Samuel waved the wine glass at Isabella with a gentle smile and asked, “Would you like a glass? It might help you sleep
better.”
Isabella was taken aback for a moment and then smiled, “Sure.”
She sat down and quietly waited for Samuel to open the wine.
At that moment, Samuel’s phone suddenly rang, and he casually answered it on speakerphone.
This surprised Isabella a little.
He truly was straightforward.
When Samuel saw Sarah’s number on his phone, he picked it up and said coolly, “What’s up?”
Sarah didn’t care about Samuel’s attitude; it had been like this ever since she was rude to Isabella..
After a moment’s consideration, she asked. “Do you have plans tomorrow night?”
Isabella raised an eyebrow and thought. A call from Sarah?”
She kept her lips sealed and sat quietly on the chair, waiting for Samuel’s wine.
Samuel paused in his movement, furrowing his brows slightly. In a low voice, he said. “If you’ve got something to say, spill

Sarah didn’t hesitate and got straight to the point. Td like to inve Ms. Stout to dinner tomorrow night. Can you ask if
Isabella was really surprised and thought, Didn’t Sarah always dislike me?
She spoke very little even during the recent treatments.
Samuel looked over at Isabella, asking for her opinion with his eyes.
Isabella thought it over and realized she had nothing planned for tomorrow night, so she nodded at Samuel.
Then Samuel finally replied to Sarah, “Alright, see you tomorrow
When Samuel paused for a moment, Sarah immediately knew that Isabella was probably nearby. A hint of discomfort flashed in her eyes, but she softly said. “Alright.”
Then, he hung up the phone right away.
Samuel uncorked the bottle of red wine in his hand and poured a glass for Isabella. He looked a bit worried. “Are you sure you’re okay with having dinner tomorrow?”
His sister really overreacted before, and Samuel was a bit worried about Isabella.
Isabella glanced at Samuel and chuckled softly. “What’s the problem? It’s not like your sister is going to embarrass me
His concern was completely unnecessary.
Samuel raised an eyebrow.
He hadn’t been there for the later treatments, and it seemed like their relationship had gotten better. Samuel looked at Isabella with some amusement in his eyes
Samuel picked up the wine glass from the table, and they gently clinked glasses before slowly savoring the wine.
The wine was smooth with a hint of grape fragrance, not bitter afall. Isabella raised her perfectly arched eyebrows. “It tastes
Samuel raised an eyebrow. I’m glad you like it.”
Isabella let out a light laugh. When she first interacted with Samuel, she would be all tense, but now she felt he wasn’t as
Talking with him was a kind of relaxation..
cold.
They chatted for half an hour, and Samuel had already eaten most of the meal. Isabella slightly curled her lips and thought, He was really hungry
Samuel took another sip of his wine and looked at Isabella. “We’ve been married for a while now. Don’t you introduce me to your parents?”
Today, Perry said he had been to the Cuzman residence.
Isabella’s grandparents and uncle were said to treat her well.
But she had never mentioned the people from the Guzman family to him.
A glimmer of surprise flashed in Isabella’s eyes, but then her expression turned serious.

Isabella thought, “To meet Hudson? Hudson doesn’t deserve it. If Hudson finds out about Samuel, he will stick to him like a
leech:
Isabella didn’t want Hudson to know Samuel
She paused for a moment. “Can we wait a little longer?”
Samuel paused slightly with his wine glass in hand and then nodded gently. “Alright, I’ll wait for you.”
He didn’t bring up the topic again, instead engaging in a casual conversation with Isabella about other things.
The atmosphere became more relaxed and less tense than before
After a drink, Isabella got up and realized she was a bit tipsy. Samuel looked at her with concern. “Stay still. Let me help you upstairs.”
Isabella shook her head, but when she got up and took a step, she felt a bit unsteady.
Samuel put down his wine glass and took Isabella’s hand. “Be good, listen to me,” he said, worried she might bump into something.
Isabella was just slightly tipsy and didn’t feel anything unusual.
Her gaze fell on Samuel’s tightly held hand, and she gave a small smile, answering obediently. “Okay”
They held hands and walked slowly towards the bedroom.
That night, probably because she had a bit to drink, Isabella slept very well.
The next day, in the Ximenes Villa that Whitney and Sarah bought after they got married, where a simple family of three lived there.
Although there were not many people in the villa, the decor made it feel very cozy.
The soft Laetitian cream style, with light green paired with gold find white, made the whole space spacious yet elegant.
Next to the large curved sofa was a uniquely shaped glass coffee table with smooth lines and gold trim, subtle yet luxurious. A massive TV was mounted on the wall, currently showing a Barbie princess cartoon.
As Isabella and Samuel walked in, they saw a little girl Rachana leaning on the small deer stool by the coffee table, intently watching the TV.
Upon hearing the noise, Rachana lifted her head and looked toward the door. Her big, round eyes lit up with joy the moment she spotted Isabella and Samuel. “Uncle, Auntie…” she called out excitedly.
Possibly afraid that Sarah might hear, Rachana quickly covered her mouth with her tiny hands after calling Auntie
But the happiness in her eyes didn’t fade a bit. She got off the deer stool and ran towards Isabella on her short legs.
Isabella’s eyes shone with a smile that could melt anyone’s heart. She bent down, spread her arms wide, and caught Rachana running towards her, hugging her tightly.
“Isabella laughed. Did you miss me?” asked Isabella.
Rachana nodded eagerly, kissing Isabella on the cheek. She leaned closer, whispering, “I’ll tell you a secret, Auntie. I dreamed about you last night.”

Isabella raised her eyebrows in surprise, her curiosity piquer. She asked, “Oli? What was I doing in your dream?”
Isabella hadn’t really expected an answer.
But Rachana giggled. “You were a beautiful bride, wearing a lovely wedding dress, marrying Uncle”
Isabella was momentarily taken alsack. Slie instinctively looked Samuel and saw him raise an eyebrow slightly.
