After ending the call, Marilyn looked at Isabella with an apologetic expression.

Her boss had called at a really bad time.

“Work is important. You should go back since your boss just called. I can watch the movie another time,” Isabella said understandingly.

After Marilyn left, Isabella was not in the mood for a movie anymore.

However, she could no longer return the two movie tickets that she had already purchased.

After thinking for a moment, Isabella decided to listen to Marilyn's advice and called Harold.

“Are you free for a movie?”

It was her first time inviting a man to the movies. As she was feeling rather shy, she spoke in a soft voice.

In fact, she planned to hang up if the person on the other end of the line hesitated.


“How can I reject my darling wife's invitation to watch a movie? Tell me where you are. I'll come over right now,” Harold said with a serious expression as he crouched in a corner of the cinema.

In order to make his lie seem more convincing, he deliberately tried to stall for time.

He even bought a drink for Logan when he spotted the latter arriving at the movie theater.

As for Marilyn, when she arrived at the parking lot, she realized that the keys to her car were still with Isabella.

She quickly jogged back to the movie theater to find Isabella. However, just as she turned around the corner, she saw two familiar figures standing in front of her.

One of them was the mysterious man who had saved them at the hotel. The other was Harold, who was Isabella's husband on paper.

She knew how Harold looked, as Isabella had sent a picture of him to her before.

A confused thought immediately popped up in her mind. Why are they standing there together?

However, as she was rushing to get back to her office, she merely stopped for a few seconds to glance at them and then turned to leave.

Harold felt someone's gaze upon him and turned around, but all he saw was the back of Marilyn's figure.

As it was almost time, Harold came out of his corner and walked over to Isabella.

He walked past Marilyn, who had gotten her keys.

“Why did you invite me to watch a movie, Darling?” Harold asked on purpose as he walked up to Isabella.

“If I invited you to watch a movie, then just watch it. There's no need for so many questions. Come on, the theater just opened.”

Isabella was slightly embarrassed by Harold's question. She deliberately rolled her eyes and put on an annoyed expression to conceal her slight nervousness.
