His breath was uneven as he asked contentedly. "Is this your way to comfortfor the entire month?" Isabelle, still thinking clearly, wondered. What does he mean? Is this man feeling aggrieved? George had sent Ethan to the exam, stayed at a hotel, and waited outside the school for two and a half days. He took care of Ethan, taught him computer skills, and even gave him a gift for the college entrance exam. Whether it was Ethan, Jack, White Owl, or Cuatro, he had looked at them from every aspect.
Isabelle hadn't expected him to bring everyone to his mansion.
He even handled her homework.
This man had a lot of company affairs to take care of, but even so, he still ensured Ethan and the others' safety. He barely left for a business trip that month.
He had been really good at protecting everyone.
Despite having serious matters to attend to, Isabelle was far more relaxed compared to George, who took on so much responsibility.
Isabelle felt like she had been having fun for over a month.

During her tat Melfrey, their contact was minimal. Perhaps he was jealous of Yves.
Isabelle thought it through and realised he indeed had a tough and unfair time.
So his recent moodiness was due to emotions getting the better of him? It was understandable.
Adjusting her breath, Isabelle asked, "Did I manage to comfort you?" She couldn't harbour resentment towards him for going overboard at this moment.
George smiled and acknowledged, "Yes, you did." He hugged her even tighter.
Footsteps echoed outside the room.
Someone was approaching. George didn't let go. Isabelle reminded him, "Someone's coming." The next moment, Cuatro burst into the room energetically.
"Don't go 1/3 92% Chapter 373 Blatant Lie +5 Pearls Dylan chased after the dog, followed by Jack and White Owl, unaware that Isabelle was with George.
Dylan chased the dog into the boxing room.
When he looked up. Dylan gasped, "D'mmit!" He was so scared that he almost fell to his knees.
"Boss... "White Owl and Jack stopped at the door.
Receiving a murderous glare from his boss, Dylan's hair stood on end. Forget the dog; he wished he could blind himself. He turned and ran.
The two people at the door noticed his terrified look. They blocked his escape route and closed the door with a blank face.
"Hey!" Dylan panicked. His face showed a fleeting look of despair.
He rushed over to pull the door handle, knocking frantically but daring not to knock too loudly or shout.
"Guys, open the door. This isn't a joke; someone could die. Dylan was frantic. He wished he could squeeze through the gap under the door.
Pressed against the door, he pleaded, "Jack! Save me!" He didn't dare look back, feeling that today might be his last. Sliding down the door, he sat on the ground, head against the door, trying to minimise his presence.
Whyagain! Dylan was in tears.
Who cared about the dog? Why did I have to run so fast? If I could go back to five minutes ago, I would have chopped off my own legs.

A sudden tap on his shoulder made him jump. Dylan dared not open his eyes as he begged weakly, "Don't kill me." Isabelle said, "Move over." Dylan could feel that George was very close.
With his eyes closed, he moved from the door to the wall.
Isabelle opened the door, looking at Dylan trembling by the wall, and said, "I brought you a gift, Dylan." 2/3 Chapter 373 Blatant Lie Dylan shook his head vigorously and said, "No, I'm good." +5 Pearls
He was thankful. He had only interrupted a hug. If he had ctwo minutes earlier and interrupted something more, George might have really twisted his head off. At the door, White Owl stood calmly. He glanced at Dylan, lying dispiritedly against the wall, and sincerely apologised.
Jack was nowhere to be seen.
Returning downstairs, they met Ethan, who was looking for Isabelle and asking Jack if he'd seen her.
Then he saw the group approaching.
Ethan noticed Isabelle's swollen lips. He exclaimed, "Sis, what happened to your mouth? Did you get sick from coming back from abroad?" He glanced at George as if to ask if he knew.
Unfazed, Isabelle answered, "I bumped into a door."
Ethan was shocked and hurriedly asked, "How did you bump into an door? How could you be so careless? Is it serious? Did it bleed? Letsee," George had no words.
Ethan moved closer to check on her injury. Jack grabbed him and walked away quickly.
