Contract Marriage Devil's Trap

"Let me give Connie a call’ Isabella suggested.

It was awkward to wait at the same spot with Drew.

"She called me just now and said there's a traffic jam on the way.Let's wait at Mugshot Cafe” Drew spoke before Isabella could make the call.

Hearing that, Isabella got curious, even though she wasn't one to be interested in others’ matters.

Connie and Drew rarely interacted with each other in the hospital, so since when were they so close in private? Although she was doubtful, Isabella didn't ask him out loud.

She merely nodded and followed him to the cafe.

When Drew went to take their orders, Isabella suddenly remembered she didn't tell him what she wanted, but when he returned, he was holding her favorite Matcha Latte.

This time, Isabella was even more puzzled.

"I forgot to ask you what you wanted, so I just got you Matcha Latte since I saw you ordering it once,’ Drew explained before she could ask.

Smiling, Isabella thanked him, "Thanks, doctor.Matcha Latte is indeed my favorite from Mugshot Cafe."

He then nodded at her appreciation, but deep down, he knew Matcha Latte was her go-to order in Mugshot Cafe.

However, he couldn't say that out loud, so he made up an excuse.

Fortunately, she didn't press him further.

After taking the drink from his hand and thanking him, Isabella fell silent.

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Drew initiated the conversation, "Connie should be here soon.She's already at Berksend Road when she called me earlier."

Nodding her head in response, Isabella began to suspect the relationship between the two.

Why did Connie call Drew instead of her? She felt the relationship between Connie and Drew was definitely out of the norm.

"Are you curious about my relationship with Connie?"

When he noticed Isabella’s thoughtful expression, Drew couldn't help but curve his lips upwards.

She frowned slightly at that, but it was unnoticeable to Drew.

He called Connie by her name, so Isabella was certain they were close, but she could tell that they weren't seeing each other.

"You must be cousins, aren't you?"

Isabella looked at Drew and made a guess.

When he heard her, he smiled without uttering a word, so Isabella assumed she was right.
