Chapter 181 Isabel Is Drunk
It turned out that the call wasn’t from Xander at all.
The caller ID showed it was Sell.
Isabel lowered her gaze, a trace of gloom appearing in her eyes.
What was she hoping for?
She clearly didn’t have that kind of feeling for Xander yet.
She analyzed it carefully and thought that maybe, after being with him for so long, suddenly being apart felt a bit unsettling.
Indeed, it was frightening how quickly one could grow accustomed to something.
The caller ID had already been flashing on the screen for over a minute, so Isabel decided to answer.
“Boss, are you free for a karaoke session tomorrow? You didn’t show up for your birthday celebration last time, so we were thinking of celebrating it for you tomorrow,”
Isabel pursed her lips slightly. After a brief silence, she said, “I’m free. Then let’s set it for tomorrow night.”
She had initially planned to return to the Bennett residence the next day. However, the thought of going back so soon made her hervous–things might still be awkward between her and Xander.
*So, she decided to stay out a few more days. Time would take care of everything, and perhaps in a couple
of days, today’s events would be forgotten.
After ending the call, Isabel flicked her finger across the screen and stopped when she reached Xander’s
contact
She paused for a moment, then opened his WhatsApp, but there were no new messages from him.
Forget it! It’s time for bed. I have food to eat and a bed to sleep in. Who cares if the world falls apart?
Isabel muttered to herself as she closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.
Meanwhile, Xander was holding his phone, staring at the contact entry labeled “Honey. His finger hovered over the “Dial” button, unsure whether to press it.
After what he’d done to her during the day, she was probably still angry
He checked the time. It was already 11:59 PM.
She was probably asleep by now, so he decided not to disturb her.
After a moment of hesitation, Xander called Samuel instead.
As soon as the phone connected, Samuel’s yawns echoed through the speaker.
“Xander, what’s up? It’s the middle of the night… What’s going on?”

“Is she still angry?”
Upon hearing this, Samuel stopped yawning and rolled his eyes in exasperation.
You teant to know if she’s angry? Then call her! Why are you asking me at this hour?

Despite Samuel’s internal frustration, he held back his true thoughts and opted for a more tactful reply.
“Tim not sure. Why don’t you give her a call?”
Xander ran a hand over his thick brows. “Never mind. She’s probably asleep by now. I won’t bother her.”
Samuel’s jaw nearly dropped at those words.
So Isabel needs her sleep at this hour, but I don’t? You’re worried about disturbing her sleep, but not me?
Fine, I get it. We’re real brothers, all right!
Tm hanging up.”
“Wait! Xander! There’s something I haven’t told you.” Samuel stopped Xander just before he ended the call “Isabel’s returned to Lilac Heights.”
Wait, she left?
Is she really that mad?
With a noticeable rise and fall of his chest, Xander let out a deep sigh.
“Got it.”
After he finished his words, Xander ended the call.
Samuel’s words only made it harder for him to sleep.
When Max saw the dark circles under Xander’s eyes the next morning, he didn’t even need to ask to know he hadn’t slept a wink.
Xander, how about some karaoke tonight to pass the time?”
Xander frowned. “I’m not in the mood.”
“That’s exactly why you should come. I’ll invite others, and well make it firm. You can’t back out. If you don’t go, I’ll drag you there myself.”
That evening, Xander was forcibly taken to the KTV, surrounded by Max and a few other spoiled young heirs.
“Xander, stop looking at your phone! Drink up!”
Max walked over with his beer and saw that Xander was still staring at his phone.
“What are you looking at? Do you have anything interesting on your phone? Maybe some American Dollars?”

It was a clear, starry night–the first and only time they had seen Isabel drunk.

When she got drunk. Isabel would complain about fecking hot and start taking off her clothes.
Naturally, they couldn’t just stand by and watch their Boss undress, so they stepped in to stop her.
But in the end, each one of them was beaten to a pulp.
After all, none of them was a match for her martial prowess.
Fortunately, Isabel eventually tired herself out from himing them and fell asleep. If it had gone on any longer, they wouldn’t have known what to do.
“I can hold my liquor just fine now,” Isabel said, pouring herself another glass of beer and downing it in one gulp.
Right after finishing the glass, she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, and her vision began to blur and twist.
No way! Am I actually getting drunk already?
