Chapter 29 Good At Reading People

Isabella told Thalia to return with the items she had brought while she squeezed in to join the fun.

The three researchers sat in the comfortable seats, eagerly waiting to enjoy the show. Meanwhile, Luna, Isabella, and Christopher sat on the bench across the table.

Isabella had no qualms sitting in the middle, just as Luna had intended.

"Hello there," Isabella greeted warmly and cheerfully. "Shopping is quite tiring. I was about to step in for a coffee. What a pleasant surprise to bump into you. I didn't expect to find you here," she continued with a suggestive tone and a playful smile directed toward Christopher.

Here comes a live portrayal of one going through great pains to win back one's lover. Woohoo!

Christopher's expression stiffened when he overheard abella's thoughts.

However, her interruption enabled him to catch his breath just as he was about to be driven away, and he was indeed grateful to her for that.

As for Luna, she was still friendly toward Isabella, asking with confusion, "Didn't you two come here together?"

Isabella instantly understood and replied, "I sent you a message, but you probably didn't see it. I came to participate in this industry event as a new artist from Christopher's agency. As for why he's here, you'll have to ask him. He refused to accompany me, his sister-in- law, to this event, yet he shows up here."

Her tone conveyed a hint of complaint, prompting the three people opposite her to wink at one another excessively.

They became even more nosy when Christopher didn't offer any explanation. Isn't this essentially an admission that he came here for Luna?

Luna pretended she hadn't heard the second part of Isabella's reply. Upon hearing that the latter had sent her a message, she pulled out her phone from her bag to check.

"Sorry. I set my phone to silent mode because of the meeting and forgot to switch it back."

As she said that, her expression shifted abruptly. Isabella calmly sipped her coffee, not surprised by the

former's current reaction.

Despite Christopher's obstructed view, he kept stealing glances at Luna-and naturally noticed it immediately.

""What's wrong?"

Luna furrowed her brows slightly as she looked at Isabella.

The latter chuckled lightly before turning to Christopher and whispering. "Oh, it's nothing. I ran into Bianca at the event and reminded Luna to be cautious, Although it was a whisper, everyone could hear it, causing the room to become even quieter.

Christopher's expression turned cold, and he anxiously looked at Luna. "I had no idea she was here. I've long blocked her on all possible platforms."

However, Luna shifted her gaze away expressionlessly. That's between you two. There's no need for the explanation."

Isabella didn't hesitate to fan the flames while watching the spectacle, saying, "She did come looking for you, but Hayden temporarily distracted her. Do you want to handle this?"

Instantly annoyed, Christopher shot her a glance. He picked up his phone and sent a message to Hayden while replying, "There's no need for me to handle this. Hayden knows I won't see her again He'll find a way to get her to leave."

Well, I'll be! He's upholding the virtues of a gentleman! Why didn't he do it earlier?

Christopher stole glances at Luna, yet she showed no reaction, leaving him feeling somewhat disheartened.

As for Isabella, she was keenly interested in asking about their coming to the meeting and was somewhat surprised upon hearing Christopher's actions.
