Chapter 48

“Have I gone all wacko?” Isabella knocked her head.

‘I must guard my heart, never to fall for a man. I’m just used to him being near me, but am I sure that isn’t me falling for him? No, it has to be just the hang of it. I have to love myself Mom, Granddad, watch over me. I won’t get hurt again. I’ll protect myself. I know I won’t fall for him. It’s just that he’s been kind to me, and I merely want to repay him. I was never into him, she muttered to herself

She paused briefly before thinking again, “Love is a drug Don’t even think about it. Yeah, I’m only repaying his kindness. I’ll snap out of it. A man like him won’t ever be faithful. Should I fall for him, I’ll be getting nothing but hurt. I’d rather not get emotional than be heartbroken by then. Yes, my heart’s already full,”

Isabella did not sleep a wink, battling with her thoughts all night

When the alarm went off, she could hardly pet up. yawning the washed herself up.

It was then that her phone chimed.

She checked it. Clayton had texted her on whatsApp: (I miss you. Show me your moming look, will you?]

t her eyes, and shared i picture of her messy hair and washed up face with water

An idea sprang to Isabella’s ind. She held the phone, shut i droplets on it.

“I don’t care if I look bad. I’m gonna give him the creeps the mused.

Clayton immediately replied. [Why the dark circles? Couldn’t sleep last night

Isabella sent a sweating emoji. She was pretty impressed by how sharp he was.

Then came Clayton’s grinning emoji alongside his message (Did sleep elude you because you miss me too much, Mrs. Murray?)

Isabella responded with a forehead smacking emoji before setting her phone aside and ignoring him.

However, her mood had been lifted for some reason

Meanwhile, Kayson was already waiting downstairs in the car. The second isabella got into it, he handed her XFC’s hashbrowns for breakfast

“I didn’t send the breakfast to your room as I didn’t want to intrude Kayson explained

“Have you eaten?” Isabella asked

Kayson nodded.

Isabella took a bite and suddenly smiled viciously. “Kayson, are you sure your boss won’t reprimand you if he finds out I ate in his car!”

“I’m sure” Kayson did not hesitate at all

Isabella side–eyed Kayson with her mouth agape. “So, if I eat in this car, will he give it to you?”

Kayson laughed. “Nope, it has nothing to do with you eating in the car. Even if you littered the hash browns all over, Boss won’t mind it. Take my word for it.”

Isabella pretended to make a mess before she started pondering. “I’ll leave some food waste tomorrow when you get me more hash browns.

I’m finishing what I have today.”

If Kayson was not behind the wheel, he would have sprawled over the steering and guffawed heartily.

“Promise me, Kayson. If Clayton gives you this car, you sell it, and we split the money,” Isabella said warily.

“Why?” Kayson was puzzled.

“Duh! It’s all thanks to me! Since you took the trouble to give me a
