Chapter 175

Poppy held onto both Isabella and Gordon, growing more fond of them by

the moment. “When are you two getting married?”

Isabella was taken aback by the older woman’s question. Her expression

instantly stiffened, and she turned towards Gordon, signaling him to clarify

quickly.

However, Gordon was unwilling to explain. Knowing Isabella’s temperament,

he didn’t want to strain their relationship. “Grandma, I’m only 24. Why rush into

marriage?”

With a warm smile, Poppy said to several wealthy ladies, “This young man is

in no hurry at all.”

Realizing that they didn’t recognize Isabella, the ladies understood that she

might not come from an affluent family. Looking at Ariel’s expression, they

also knew what to do.

They changed the topic, diverting Poppy’s attention from the subject of

marriage. However, she still held onto Isabella’s hand and didn’t let her go.

Modestly, Isabella presented a bracelet she had prepared. “I don’t know what

your preferences are. I apologize if this gift isn’t good enough.”

Poppy, who came from a humble background, was very down-to-earth.

When she saw Isabella’s gift, she smiled with appreciation. “You’re really

considerate. Gordon is lucky to have you.”

Isabella forced a laugh, feeling nervous. She could only let Poppy hold her

hand.
