Chapter 52

Isabella patted Rihanna’s hand. “I understand. Thank you for being so nice to me. I’ll come to you if I ever need help. But now, I can’t take your money, I want to make it on my own.”

Rihanna looked at her. “Okay! I’m your good friend. If you ever need help, just ask. I’ll do my best, be it money or anything else. Besides Coles, you’re someone who’s been good to me and looked out for me!”

Isabella smiled and nodded, fully understanding Rihanna’s sincerity and simplicity.

She was a child who had been tortured, and after being rescued, she was well protected by Coles. When dealing with others, she was too decisive and naive.

“Rihanna, since you and Coles depend on each other, you should plan well for the both of you. For example, when he gets married or when you get married in the future, this money will come in handy!” Isabella kindly planned out for Rihanna,

Rihanna shook her hand and smiled. “I won’t get married. I’ll only be with Coles, and he won’t get married either.”

Isabella chuckled. “Why not?”

Rihanna looked down. “Who would marry someone like me? Coles‘ life is full of danger, and he doesn’t

t want to put others in danger.”

Isabella pushed Rihanna’s hair behind her ears. “Don’t say that. You’re a good person. Someone will like you, and knowing your past will only make them cherish you more. However, my mom said girls shouldn’t fall in love so easily because it’s easy to get hurt. We have to love ourselves.”

Rihanna nodded, finding her words reasonable.

The two girls leaned on the sofa, drinking coffee and chatting until they unknowingly fell asleep.

They woke up as the day brightened, feeling aches and numbness in their bodies. Laughing, they got up. Isabella glanced at her phone- there were no texts, WhatsApp messaged, or calls. The unease in her heart deepened.

“Isabella, is the person you’re worried about your lover?” Rihanna keenly felt Isabella’s concern.

Isabella hesitated and spoke slowly, “He’s my savior. He’s done a lot for me and saved me from desperate situations. I haven’t fallen in love. with him yet, and I don’t dare to.”

Yes, she dared not. To her, it was dangerous to give someone her heart. She had nothing but her heart.

Rihanna bit her lip and stopped asking.

It was the weekend, so they need not go to work.

After breakfast, Rihanna decided to go to Coles‘ company to find his assistant. She was determined to contact him no matter what.

Isabella understood her feelings

She also wanted to ask Kayson how Clayton was, but couldn’t bring herself to do so.

After returning from Rihanna’s house, she couldn’t help but WhatsApp Clayton a penguin and a pig emoji.
