Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1138

Violet never did tell Carissa about their conversation, though she hadn't promised to keep Isaac's secret. He didn't want people to know, and had treated her as a good friend when he confided in her. It wasn't her place to spread rumors and stir up trouble-that wasn't how

Max told Carissa, who found it strange. Why did Isaac keep going to that place? Did he know someone there?

Later that evening, when they sat down to eat, Carissa couldn't help but ask, "Isaac, what have you been busy with lately?"
