Chapter 164
isabella’s timid look made Samuel sigh softly, “You’re so titnid. Sared already?”
Isabella wanted to say she wasn’t scared, but the words got stuck her throat when she met his intense gaze.
Samuel gave her nose a playful tap, his voice carrying a hint of fection. Birthday girl, good night,” Though he still held Isabella close, his eyes had slowly closed.
Isabella was momentarily taken aback. She was surprised that he actually let her go so easily. She looked up at him, and the sound of his steady breathing filled the room. He had fallen asleep.
Isabella studied Samuel. His strong nose, sharp cheekbones, and long lashes caught her eye. She had seen many striking men before, but none like Samiel, who was both tough and elegant. Every detail seemed to fit her idea of beauty,
Isabella couldn’t stop herself from reaching out, lightly tracing -facial features, finally letting her fingers rest on Samuels thin lips.
Isabella could still feel the touch of his kiss on her forehead. She quickly pulled her hand back as if burned, gently stepping away from Samuel’s arms.
She covered Samuel with the blanket before turning to the bathroom to freshen up. Perhaps it was the alcohol, but after washing up, Isabella soon fell into a deep sleep beside Samuel.
Little did they know, Twitter was blowing up again. #DrLovettDinnerParty# This topic blew up on the trending page. Clicking on the topic revealed that a promotional account had posted a picture from Isabella’s birthday dinner.
The post read. [Dr. Lovett was seen dining with friends at a top–tier restaurant. Could the man in the suit be her boyfriend?] Comments under the topic were going crazy with speculation.
[Although the photo is blurry, it doesn’t hide the fact that these people at the dinner are all stunning. The man next to Queenie is super handsome!]
[Oh my God, his good looks have left me so weak I can’t keep my legs together!]
[Everyone, I want all the information about this man in three minutes.]
The comments section was full of envy and jokes, making it very lively. But most of the comments were from Jayden’s fans. [No matter how amazing the man is, she shouldn’t be two–timing, right?
[I’ll despise this woman forever. How dare she cheat on Jayden!]
[You scum, just drop dead!]
Various comments appeared one after another, filling the whole trending topic with hostility. People were eager to immediately discover Isabella’s home address and confront her in person.
And there was a minority discussing something else.
[What the heck? Are my eyes playing tricks on me? The necklace around her neck looks like an antique.]
With my professional knowledge, I can tell you, it’s an invaluable antique necklace.J
[Wow, that’s amazing! I wonder if the man needs a charm for his leg.]
At this moment, Ivana had just come out of the shower at the Stout residence when she saw the trending post sent to her by Jenny. She frowned and clicked on it. When she saw the content, her whole body froze.

Chapter 164
She zoomed in on the photy While she didn’t recognize Sarah and Whitney, she saw Samuel because he once got into it with Cameron last time.
Ivana clutched her phone tightly, thinking there was no way he was just a pretty face. She couldn’t help but wonder who he was. But she hadn’t been able to find out any information about Samuel yet..
However, when Ivano’s gaze landed on the necklace around Isabella’s neck, her face suddenly changed. Right ar moment, she noticed a comment saying the necklace was an invaluable antique.
that
Envy surged in Ivana’s heart as she cursed inside, How could that little witch Isabella deserve such an expensive necklace? She’d bought so much jewelry, and the most expensive one was only a few hundred thousand
She couldn’t even get a close look at a necklace like that, let alone buy one. She was furious that Isabella actually had one. Her eyes were glued to the phone screen, wishing she could drill hole through Isabella.
Ivana thought the necklace must be a fake one and the comments must be from Isabella’s hired trolls, or maybe those brainless fans of Queenie boosting her with false bragging. She was more than sure that the necklace was fake.
Ivana felt a lump in her throat as her anger was stuck, unbearable. She swung her hand and slammed the phone down hard. She cursed. “Bitch! Bitch!”
Ivana glanced sideways at the jewelry on her vanity, suddenly finding it incredibly bothersome. She stepped forward and swept everything off the vanity onto the floor. In her eyes, these were merely a load of junk.
Ivana’s eyes were filled with intense hatred. She was determined that one day she would crush Isabella beneath her feet so she could never rise again.
Samuel flew to Arishire early the next morning.
When Isabella woke up, there was a sticky note on her nightstand. The bold, elegant handwriting was Samuel’s. [Take care of yourself, and call me right away if anything comes up.]
Isabella curled her lips into a smile, glancing at the morning light streaming through the window. She stretched lazily, her head a bit foggy, probably from the drinks last night. Rubbing her temples, she finally got up and went downstairs.
Megan placed a bowl of oatmeal in front of Isabella. With a respectful smile, she said, “Mrs. Howerton, this is the oatmeal Mr. Howerton specifically prepared for you. You drank last night, and this will help soothe your stomach and relieve your headache
Isabella was surprised. He had left so early yet still arranged for this. She smiled slightly and replied softly, “Okay, thank you
Isabella sat down, took a spoon, and tasted a bit of the oatmeal. It was refreshingly light. She glanced at Megan and asked, “Did you put cucumber in this?” It was subtle, but it made the taste very clear and pure.
Megan gave Isabella a thumbs up and praised with a smile, “You’re amazing, Mrs. Howerton. There’s only a tiny bit of cucumber in there. Most people wouldn’t even notice it Your taste buds are incredible.”
Isabella took a few more sips and then turned to Megan with a light laugh. “You really know how to cook.
Megan was delighted by the compliment.
As soon as Isabella finished eating, she got a call from Luna. Sheanswered with a smile, “Why got up and headed to the closet to change for work.
re you calling so carly?” She
Luna, rolling in her blanket, felt a bit guilty and said, “Sorry, I was so busy yesterday that I forgot your birthday,” Over the
they hadn’t spent many birthdays together. But Luna would at least send Isabella a message.

Chapter 164
This year, there was tithing, and now tuna felt a bit had about
Isabella smiled as she picked out her outfit from the closes, replying. “No problem, just make sure the gift is generous enough. There was no way she’ll get mad at Luna over something like this.
Isabella thought about last night’s surprise, her smile growing even wider.
Luna rolled over and sat up in bed, exclaiming. “Geez, you’re blackmailing me again, Even without Isabella saying much, her gifts were always quite grand
Luna thought of the photo on Twitter and giggled, “Confess honestly. Was that necklace from Samuel last night?”
Isabella paused in her actions. She frowned, puzzled, “How did you know he gave me a necklace? Logically, only Sarah and Whitney would know about this, and they weren’t the kind of people to spread rumors.
Luna couldn’t help but roll her eyes, flopping heavily back into the bed. “Come on. Twitter blew up last night. It’s really hard to ignore the news.”
