Chapter 1301

Isla even shook her arm as she sobbed.

"And this sh*tty Cartier. Platinum my a*s; I've only worn it for two days, and there are already scratches. No wonder they think you're a super fake. I would've been better off wearing two pounds of gold. Jesus Christ..." Finding her self-pity amusing, Lexx asked, looking at the various shopping bags hanging on her arms, "Why still hold on to it if you're not going to wear them?"

Weren't they all her haul?

He had never seen an affluent young lady like her in his life. She was so poor that she already didn't have money to pay for food, yet she had the mood to shop. No wonder they called her a scoundrel!

Guess this girl was genuinely oblivious to the hardships of life!

"I've already spent the money; I shouldn't just throw them away, should I? At least donate them!"

Hmm, not bad; at least she knew not to waste!

However, Lexx was still exasperated. Should he bother himself with her, or not?

While he deliberated, Isla was already certain he was her best reliance at present. Perhaps it had to do with his unique identity, but she felt inexplicably safe by his side. So deep down, she had decided to seek refuge in him for the time being! Quite the contrary, Lexx didn't need to think to know that this girl was nothing but trouble!

"Alright, c'mon, let's get your money!"

With that, he turned to hail a cab. The police station wasn't a good place to talk. Plus, he had decided he should just give her a bit more money and send her on her way.

"Okay..."

Isla nodded but said nothing else, taking a gander at his stalwart back, already dead set on sticking to him before she could go home.

She couldn't stay idle and worry about money and food all day, could she?!

When the cab came, Lexx, all gentlemanly, opened the door and even took the shopping bags from her.

Just like that, her good impression of him increased slightly, and Isla went in the car after wiping the tears off her face.

As soon as the car started, she tugged on Lexx, who was in the front passenger seat, leading him to look over his shoulder at her reflexively. "What is it?" "I'm starving! Can we grab some food first?"

Looking at how scruffy she looked, a proverb popped up in his mind. Hares may pull dead lions by the beard!

With that, the first went to a diner and managed to get some breakfast just before they changed the menu.

After experiencing a scare, chaos, and emotional roller coaster, Isla said goodbye to dieting, which had been seared into her mind, right then, downing a breakfast sandwich, a breakfast burrito, a couple of sides, and a cup of hot chocolate. Lexx, on the other hand, ate with great class despite being a man.

After following Lexx to his place, Isla's good impression of him increased a little more when she saw how tidy it was despite its emptiness, perhaps even neater than her home.
