Chapter 46
Before anyone could start teasing. Isabella said. “Truth.” She didn’t want to be confessing to any other guy.
Isabella’s choice made everyone’s eyes light up, their gazes shifting back and forth between Isabella and Jayden.
Jill who was squatting next to the drinks table rested her chin on her hand and asked with curiosity, “So, Bella, do you not like our superstar actor Jayden anymore?”
Jill thought the interactions between Jayden and Isabella today were oddly strange.
Everyone looked at Isabella expectantly.
Ivana’s brows furrowed slightly, her charming eyes showing a hint of displeasure. Ivana thought, Jill has a knack for bringing up the most awkward topics:
But when Ivana looked at Isabella, she instinctively clenched her fists and thought, ‘How will this bitch Isabella respond?‘
If Isabella dared to say she liked Jayden, Ivana would teach Isabella a lesson.
Jayden’s fingers wrapped around the wine glass as a gentle smile glimmered in his eyes now focused on Isabella.
Everyone waited quietly for Isabella’s answer.
Isabella tasted the wine and said calmly, “I don’t like Jayden”
Just those three words made the smile vanish from Jayden’s face, and his grip on the wine glass tightened immediately.
Jayden glared at Isabella with a gloomy look, but then he thought, “Could this be Isabella playing hard to get again? After all, tonight’s party is organized by Luna Luna specifically invites me to give Isabella an opportunity. Isabella has done similar things before.
No one expected Isabella to admit it so openly. The spark of curiosity in Jill’s eyes grew stronger as she looked at Isabella and asked again. “Why?”
For years, many in their circle knew about Isabella’s crush on Jayden-
After so many years, Isabella suddenly didn’t like Jayden anymore, and no one knew the reason behind it,
Isabella slightly curled her lips, her eyes on Jill as she laughed softly. “That’s the second question.”
Isabella kept a calm and composed look, not even glancing at Jayden.
Luna looked at Isabella in shock and thought, ‘After this party, I have to ask Isabella about it.
Ivana unclenched her fists a little, thinking Isabella knew when to step back.
Jill sensed that Jayden was unhappy, and she laughed and gathered everyone. “Good for you, Isabella. Let’s keep going”
If this questioning continued, the evening’s good mood might disappear.
Others quickly picked up on the cue and began encouraging each other mischievously.
Soon, a few spins of the bottle came to a stop on Ivana.
Excitement flashed in Ivana’s eyes as she glanced at the bottle and then looked expectantly at Jayden.
Ivana thought if she could use this opportunity to interact with Jayden and reveal their relationship, it would be perfect.
But Jayden just sat there quietly, drinking, not giving Ivana even a glance.
Ivana lowered her eyes in dissatisfaction and took a deep breath to steady her emotions.
Jill raised an eyebrow at Ivana, smiling as she asked, “Ivana, what’s your choice!”
In a gentle voice, Ivana replied, “Truth.”
Chapter 46
Luna didn’t like Ivana, so she relaxed lazily on the couch, allowing them to do whatever they wanted.
With some impatience in Luna’s eyes, she leaned close to Isabella’s ear and whispered, “Ivana…
Luna didn’t finish her sentence, but Isabella sensed Luna’s annoyance.
Isabella just chuckled sofily without replying.
The other girls had a quick discussion and sent over Jill as their representative. Jill smiled at Ivana and asked, “So, which guy do you have a crush on?”
It wasn’t a particularly exciting topic, so the other men in the room seemed a bit uninterested, yet they all kept smiling as they watched Ivana.
Ivana just gave a shy smile, her gaze landing on Jayden.
That glance said a lot.
Suddenly, those who were bored became interested.
Everyone turned to look at Jayden, and then eventually at Isabella,
Something bad must have happened between the three of them.
Ivana blushed, lowering her head as she playfully said, “You guys are so naughty, asking me such things.”
Ivana’s sweet tone made Luna shiver.
Luna leaned over and whispered in Isabella’s car, “Ivana’s so feigned. Such an angelic bitch. How do you put up with her?”
If Luna were Isabella, Luna would have slapped Ivana a long ago.
Isabella smirked slightly, a flicker of sarcasm in her eyes. “Guys just fall for that kind of act. What can I do?”
Jayden got involved with Ivana because of that.
Luna let out a gentle sigh, nodding in agreement. “Yeah, men can be such jerks.”
Jayden, who was standing to the side, overheard their conversation. His eyebrows knitted together, and his expression towards Ivana became increasingly displeased.
It was inappropriate for Ivana to behave like that on such an occasion.
The others also tried hard to hold back their discomfort, laughing while teasing Ivana. “It’s okay, and we’re all friends here.”
A scheme flashed in Ivana’s mind. She thought, Isabella had just said that she didn’t like Jayden, so if I said I like Jayden, there would be appropriate.”
Isabella regained her composure and looked at Jayden, her eyes full of bashful shyness. “I like Jayden.”
Everyone instinctively glanced at Isabella, seeing her face calm.
Only then did Jill cough lightly and change the topic. “Liking the great movie star Jayden is not strange. He’s a heartthrob for many women.”
However, Jayden showed no reaction to Ivana’s confession, not even looking at her.
All of Ivana’s hopes crumbled at that moment.
Ivana bit her lip tightly, filled with deep unwillingness, yet had to keep a gentle smile on her face.
Luna couldn’t stand Ivana’s undertones in the conversation any longer, so Luna stood up and urged everyone to start the next round, effectively cutting off the topic.
Luna said, “Alright, let’s continue. Time to see who our next lucky one is.”
The bottle spun around and finally stopped right in front of Isabella.
4:21 PM
Chapter 46
Before Luna could say anything, Kevin stood up, slapping the table.
“No way. I’m not going down alone. Bella, you have to choose ‘dare.
Isabella paused, her hand gripping the glass, while everyone else cheered enthusiastically, heating up the atmosphere in the
room.
Everyone expressed their eagerness to see a dare.
Isabella’s lips curled into a smile as she straightened up, her eyes playfully landing on Kevin. “Alright then, tell me what to do.”
Truth was boring, always revolving around questions about Isabella and Jayden, which Isabella didn’t want to answer.
Everyone thought there was something going on between Isabella and Jayden, but Jayden never admitted it. It was like a secret.
affair.
Looking back, Isabella wondered why she could endure it all.
Luna looked at Isabella with some concern because Isabella was usually so calm and composed.
In case they did something extreme, Luna worried Isabella might not be able to handle it.
Before Kevin could speak, Mark stepped forward with a cheeky grin, looking at Isabella. “Isabella, you’re straightforward. In that case, I will give you a challenge”
