Chapter 37

When Isabella slept, she had the habit of curling up into a ball. Clayton’s heart would ache every time he saw her like that

In these days of being together, he noticed her occasional moments of relaxation. Deep down, Isabella was gradually accepting Clayton. For instance, she would move closer to him while sleeping, finding his warmth comforting.

Yvonne wondered. ‘Since when did she stop crying! How dare she look at me with such an indifferent gaze now!

Oh, right. She had the guts to talk back to us since the engagemenil party.

“Why did you come alone today? Where’s Mr. Murray!” Yenne didn’t want the incident at school to happen again.

Isabella looked at her and replied, “Didn’t you ask me to come back and get something? He’s busy. There’s no need to bother him with such trivial
