Chapter 181

Gordon preferred not to push things too far, so when Isabella told him to wait,

he simply lay down on the bed and started playing with his phone.

face had darkened to a shade akin to an inkstone.

The person in the backseat raised his gaze, and his piercing eyes reflected

from the rearview mirror. He silenced Nicolas, forcing him to swallow the

words on the tip of his tongue.

Nicolas felt a cold sweat on his back and wisely shut his mouth.

He prayed for Isabella to hurry out, hoping she wouldn’t spend the night with

Gordon inside.

In the backseat, Seth’s hands were clasped, and his elbows were resting on
