Chapter 205
Just then. Isabella’s face was flushed crimson. The usually composed and aloof woman felt utterly humiliated at being seen like this by an outsider.
Isabella quickly pulled away from Samuel’s einbrace, trying to calm her wildly beating heart.
Samuel watched her with a soft smile, his voice low yet laden with meaning as he said, “Mrs. Howerton, I’ll teach you tonight. what I really meant.”
Isabella felt her mind went blank. She hadn’t understood what he said before, but suddenly it seemed a little clearer.
She regretted her boldness in teasing this man who was like a beast, Looking our the car window to distract herself, she quickly changed the subject. “Where are we?”
She thought they were heading home, but the quiet garage in front of them clearly wasn’t their house.
Samuel didn’t call her out on it. He just replied, I’m taking you out to eat. As he spoke, he adjusted his clothes and opened the car door, stepping out.
Isabella hesitated for a moment but then followed Samuel out of the car. It seemed that every time they went out to eat, it was on Samuel. She felt that she couldn’t keep letting him pay all the time.
Isabella turned to Samuel, who was walking towards her, and said, “It’s on me this time.”
-Sámuel looked at Isabella with a hint of disagreement, but before he could respond, Isabella said again, “Don’t refuse me.
I’m taking you somewhere different today.”
Each time they went out on a date, Samuel would reserve the entire venue. While it was occasionally romantic and warm, Isabella wanted him to experience a–different kind of date.
Seeing Isabella’s serious look, Samuel nodded and replied with a smile, “Alright.”
Isabella’s smile widened as she waved him over. “Come with me
In the past, when Isabella had passed by this place while working, she found it intriguing. However, when she had been wi Jayden, his status had prevented them from enjoying such public displays.
Now, Isabella felt free to indulge in the things she had wanted to do. It felt wonderful.
As they walked, Samuel held Isabella’s hand, leading her until they reached a romantic restaurant, where Isabella came to
stop.
Inside the restaurant, love declarations adorned the walls, filled with romantic phrases and complemented by pink roses colorful balloons.
It was a cozy and romantic place, featuring many small tables designed for two, fostering an intimate atmosphere that brought couples closer together.
Samuel observed the lively scene inside, frowning as he turned to Isabella and asked, “Here?” The noise seemed overwhelming and he doubted whether they would be able to enjoy a proper meal.
Isabella smiled and nodded, saying, “Yeah, let’s go. She pulled Samuel forward, leading him deeper into the restaurant.
Finding a quiet corner, Isabella chose a table away from the hustle and bustle. As they settled in, a waitress approached, captivated by the stunning couple before her.
She thought. They look so pretty. Not only are they stunning but they also exude an extraordinary aura, different from

average person. Even the
celebrities in the entertainment industry pale in comparison to their presence.
The waitress handed the menu to Isabella, bowing respectfullyshe said, “Please take a look and choose which set meal yout would like
Samuel took the menu, frowning as he scanned the dish names. Each one looked weird. They were all things like “Eternal. Heart and Timeless Love”
Samuel pursed his lips, wondering if these meals would actually paste good.
Isabella, noticing Samuel’s expression, understood his thoughts without needing to ask. She decided to order based on his tastes and then turned to the waitress, saying, “Td like the Timeless Love and the “Eternal Heart.”
Hearing that, Samuel was taken aback. 1le somehow found there quite good.
The waitress smiled and replied, “Very well. Timeless Love” and “Eternal Heart‘ then. I’ll have them brought out shortly”
She noted their orders carefully and then bowed again before stepping away.
This restaurant was unlike any Samuel had dined in before. For him, it felt refreshingly novel.
In the past, whenever he went out to eat, it was usually in a private dining room or a reserved venue. He had never shared a meal in such a noisy environment.
Soon, their meals arrived. Each set was a standard stir–fry dish, but surprisingly, the plating was impressive. Every item was arranged beautifully, making it visually appealing.
Isabella looked at Samuel with a playful smile on her lips. “Give it a try.
Although Isabella had never eaten in this restaurant before, she had ordered takeout from them, so she was familiar with their flavors.
Frowning slightly, Samuel picked up the spoon beside him and tasted the soup. It was a rich, smooth broth with a subtle mushroom aroma. It was fresh and flavorful.
The chef’s skills could rival those of a five–star chef. Samuel was pleasantly surprised.
Isabella stared at Samuel with a smile, her eyes glimmering with anticipation as she asked, “How does it taste?”
She felt a hint of worry, concerned that Samuel might not be accustomed to this kind of food. After all, he was used to dining in upscale restaurants, and this could be considered a simpler fare for him.
Samuel nodded, his previous frown easing as he genuinely praised, “It’s quite good. He picked up his fork and sampled the other dishes, finding them all satisfactory.
Isabella’s smile grew even wider as she took a bite and sighed contentedly. “It’s been a while since I’ve had their food, and tastes just as good as always.”
Samuel paused in his motions, glancing at Isabella. “Who did you come here with before?” The moment the words left his mouth, he recalled Isabella’s past relationship with Jayden.
Samuel’s gaze darkened slightly. However, Isabella was oblivious to the change in his expression. After tasting the soup, sh replied casually, “I haven’t been here before. I’ve only ordered takeout. They offer online ordering”
If she had visited before, she wouldn’t have brought Samuel here. It was a new experience, and once was enough.
Samuel relaxed his grip on his fork and nodded in understanding. “I see. I’ll have to order from here later.
Yet, a hint of amusement returned to Samuel’s eyes, which Isabella completely missed.

As they continued to em, Isabella suddenly heard a familiar vole calling from behind. “What are you doing here, Isabella?”
Isabella turned around to see Melanie in a tight dress, clinging to a muin’s arm. Her long curly hair cascaled down her back, exuding an alluring charm mixed with the innocence of youth the leaned against the man
The man beside her was tall, easily around six feet three, with a lid build that made him appear quite imposing, Dressed in a black suit, he held his chin slightly raised, casting a scornful glance at the people around them.
Isabella quickly withdrew her gaze, not intending to talk to Melatie. They had never gotten along in the office, and now that work was over, she had even less desire to engage.
However, Melanie’s eyes were fixed on Samuel. Even seated in such a noisy environment, he radiated an aura that overshadowed everyone else.
Melanie felt a twinge of confusion. She thought, “Who exactly is he?
Although Samuel did not know Melanie, he sensed Isabella’s disinterest and chose not to mind her. Instead, he picked up some food and gently placed it on Isabella’s plate. “Try this. It tastes pretty good,” he suggested softly.
