Chapter 189
Samuel’s words poured down like raindrops, “Aren’t fathers supposed to think about their children’s happiness? What have you considered for her? Is it just one scheme after another, or leaving her alone to struggle outsider
He’s seen too many people climbing the ladder prioritizing their interesis and too many deceitful plots.
But it was the first time he had seen a father plot against his own daughter to this extent.
His questioning felt like slap after slap landing directly on Hudson’s face.
People passing by outside heard the noise and turned to look at abella and the others.
As for Isabella, her heart felt as if it had been struck by something.
Ever since her mother passed away, she had been getting by on her own, with no one saying these things to her.
In Isabella’s view, as long as Hudson didn’t approach her or cause trouble, she was having good luck.
She had never thought parents could think about their children happiness.
Hudson’s face was pale as he glared at Samuel, gritting his teeth and saying, “Shut up! What do you know? This is between her and me. What’s it got to do with you?”
He angrily pushed the utensils in front of Samuel.
The clash of dishes made a clear sound in the restaurant.
The wine glass tipped over, spilling red wine all over Samuel’s expensive suit while he remained seated, not making any effort to avoid it.
Samuel’s gaze grew colder as he looked at Hudson, his powerful aura spreading and creating a dense chill that felt suffocating.
A shiver voluntarily ran down Hudson’s spine. Samuel’s aura was terrifying.
He struggled to contain his shock, thinking. Who exactly is this man?”
Isabella suddenly stood up and walked over to Samuel, grabbing some tissues from the table to wipe the spot where he’d been splashed.
Samuel looked at her and said softly. “It’s okay.”
Isabella still didn’t listen and kept pulling out more tissues, continuing to clean him up, even though it wasn’t cold outside.
But she just felt a little bad for Samuel.
She glared coldly at Hudson, but before she could speak, Hudson started cursing her, “Isabella, you better break up with him. A guy like this isn’t right for you at all. Today he disrespects elders, and tomorrow he might hit you!”
He took advantage of his seniority to boss Isabella around.
Isabella turned around and slammed the tissues she was holding onto the table.
Isabella had long reached her limit with Hudson, and now he was badmouthing Samuel too.
He even dared to boss Samuel around now,
Chapter 189
Isabella glared at Hudson and coldly warned, “If you don’t mind spending the rest of your life in berl, then go ahead, get lost right now!
Hudson was too angry to speak.
She radiated such a menacing aura that Hudson felt a chill run through him, stopping him mid–sentence
Hudson was well aware she had the means to do it.
He might not have known much about Dr. Lovett before, but after discovering Isabella was Queenie, he went to investigate.
The information he found wasn’t extensive, but each piece was shocking.
Rumor has it that Queenie can revive the dead. That’s no exaggeration.
Suddenly, Hudson felt a bit apprehensive, instinctively swallowing and taking two steps back.
With so many people around watching, they were whispering, “Seems like the man’s the problem here, trying to interfere now that his daughter’s dating someone.”
I can’t stand people like that. If you didn’t care from the start, why do you care who she’s with now?”
“Some parents are like that, missing during the good times but quick to show their authority”
These whispers gradually reached Hudson’s ears.
He lost his composure and snapped at Isabella harshly, “You brat! Someday you’ll see whether I’m good for you or not!”
He thought. It’s a mystery how she ended up with such a terrible guy.
He lacked Jayden’s gentleness; this guy was all rough edges.”
Hudson glared fiercely at Isabella and Samuel before walking away.
Isabella struggled to hold back her swelling anger; if they weren’t in public, she might have already lost her temper.
Samuel reached out to hold Isabella’s hand, which was trembling slightly as she restrained her anger.
He spoke gently, looking at Isabella, “Bella, let’s go.”
Isabella turned to Samuel, a guilty look in her eyes, and said, “Sorry, I…”
Samuel gazed at her gently, his voice soft, “Don’t overthink it.”
Isabella pressed her lips together and gave him a grateful look.
Neither of them felt like eating anymore, and all their good mood vanished.
She thought, ‘Running into Hudson is just bad luck.”
Samuel stood tall, and Isabella looked at him with some concern and asked, “Are you sure your clothes are okay?”
Due to spilled wine, a large part of Samuel’s white shirt was now stained red.
Samuel teasingly squeezed her wrist and said, “Don’t worry, I’m not made of paper.”
His words almost made Isabella laugh. Though she didn’t quite smile, the gloom in her heart faded a little.
He held Isabella’s hand and walked towards the door.

Chapter 189
A few minutes later in the garage. Sitting in the driver’s seat, Isabella turned to Samuel and said, “Take off your undershirt; it’s not good to wear wet clothes.
“As the weather’s about to cool down with autumn coming, it’s a bit chilly in the evenings.
“This kind of weather, combined with wet clothes, can easily cause stomach issues”
Samuel looked down at his clothes, hesitated, and asked Isabella, Are you sure you really want me to take it off?”
Isabella looked at him with clear eyes and confidently nodded, “Yes, if you catch a chill later, it’ll be really uncomfortable for
VOLL
“The best solution is to take off the wet shirt and just wear a jacket.*
Samuel nodded, choosing not to argue with Isabella about this. As he began unbuttoning his shirt after taking off his jacket. Isabella regretted her suggestion.
His pale chest, muscles, and abs gradually revealed themselves before her.
Even though Isabella had seen Samuel’s physique more than once, she was still surprised by his build.
Isabella quickly turned her head away, not daring to keep looking at Samuel, and awkwardly said, “Remember to put your jacket on, don’t catch a cold.”
Seeing her timid reaction, Samuel couldn’t help but feel a playful urge.
He smiled, leaned closer to Isabella’s ear, and softly asked, “Mrs. Howerton, aren’t you tempted to touch?”
Instantly, Isabella’s cheeks felt as hot as boiling water
She reached out to gently push him away, saying. “Sit tight, we need to head home now.”
However, Isabella’s hand was taken by Samuel and gently placed on his stomach.
The touch at that moment made Isabella feel like she had been shocked, and she quickly pulled her hand back.
She turned back, her face flushed, and glared at Samuel. “Samuell
Samuel still had a smile on his face. He thought she looked pretty cute when she was angry. He chuckled softly. “Tm here.”
Isabella couldn’t help but want to facepalm
She thought, ‘How did he come back from this business
