Chapter 53

A low, mellow voice echoed by isabella’s ear. “Do you miss me?”

Her heart suddenly felt at ease in her sleep. She replied honestly, “Yes.”

“Good girl.” Alight chuckle followed.

Isabella squirmed from the tickles

as a gentle kiss landed near her ear.

Clayton encircled her waist to stop Isabella from curling up. She leaned against him and murmured, “You’re so warm. I’m sleepy. I’m going to

sleep now.”

“All right. Go to sleep. I’m back, you can rest easy now.” His low voice seemed to have a hypnotic effect.

Isabella drifted into sleep peacefully and didn’t have any dreams all night.

The sleep made up for the past few restless nights where she hadn’t slept well since Clayton left. She stretched lazily under the blanket and froze when she felt the emptiness beside her.

She was sure that Clayton had returned and felt his presence last night.

Isabella’s heart tightened. It wasn’t a dream last night. He must have returned. If not, did something have happened to him?” she wondered.

She sat up abruptly, rushing out of bed, and headed straight to Clayton’s study. However, no one was there.

Nor there was anyone in the living room.

She stood at the study door, and her heart sank.

“Are you looking for me?” A low, amused voice echoed from the dining room.

Isabella turned in surprise. The well–dressed Clayton was sitting at the dining table, smiling at her.

She ran over, stood in front of him, took a deep breath, and smiled dazedly.

Clayton looked at her dotingly. “Good morning, Mrs. Murray”

Isabella came back to her senses and felt genuinely happy.

Clayton sized her up and suddenly stopped smiling. “Go put on your shoes.”

“Okay.” Isabella obediently complied and returned to the bedroom to put on her shoes.

On the table was her favorite breakfast, indicating that Kayson had already been there.

Clayton sat still in his chair. He patted the chair beside him, signaling Isabella to sit, and the fatter complied obediently.

He rested his hand on her head and sighed softly.

“What’s wrong?” Isabella looked at Clayton in confusion with her clear eyes.

The latter hugged her gently, “With you, I have the whole world.”

Isabella felt the joy in her heart blooming like big, beautiful flowers. At that moment, there were no second thoughts in her heart. She wanted to enjoy the feeling now.

“Let’s have breakfast,” Clayton suggested.

“Aren’t you eating?” Isabella glanced at him while eating.

“I’ve eaten. I’m going to the company later. Do you have any plans? Would you like to go to Rayson International with me?” Clayton was incredibly gentle.

Isabella felt something was off but couldn’t put her finger on it.
