A quick thought later, Isabel frowned and added, “Were we not together openly before?”

As far as she knew, they were quite open with their relationship.

“It’s a long story. Let’s get you out first,” Roland said. He held her hand and wanted to leave.

Isabel did not move. She said coldly, “If you don’t make things clear now, I won’t leave with you.”

Roland sighed helplessly. “Isabel, only with your family’s approval can we be together openly.”
