Chapter 20

Nathan suddenly lost control and reached out to grab Isabella, but he didn’t expect her to slap him in return. She screamed in shock, “Ah! Pervert! How dare you harass me…‘

Before the words fully left her mouth, several men in the shop had already stepped in to block Nathan.

Taking advantage of the commotion, Isabella quickly dashed out of the store.

Nathan’s face turned ashen. Though he hadn’t seen‘ her face clearly, the voice confirmed his suspicion–it was his wife, Isabella.

He desperately tried explaining to the foreigners holding him back, “I’m not a pervert! That girl just now, she’s my wife. Let me go! I need to bring her home!”

The men who intervened looked at Victoria skeptically. “She’s your wife? Then who is this beside you?”

Nathan was momentarily speechless. The disdain in the men’s eyes was obvious.

Victoria, always eager to cling to Nathan, quickly stepped

forward to smooth things over. “You misunderstand. I’m his wife’s Sis, and we’re just here looking for my Sis.”

The men, half–convinced, finally let him go.

Nathan staggered outside, shouting, “Isabella!” His voice echoed as he called out desperately.

Isabella, familiar with this street, hid in the shadows, coldly watching Nathan frantically searching for her. Her gaze grew icier by the moment.

A man who chased after his wife while keeping an ambiguous relationship with his first love–how had she not dumped such a scumbag sooner? She even wasted a kidney on him!

Nathan called out until his throat went hoarse, but Isabella didn‘ t respond. His expression turned increasingly puzzled. He didn’t understand why Isabella was avoiding him.

Hadn’t she always adored and relied on him? Shouldn’t she have run to him upon seeing him?

Victoria emerged, stopping him from spiraling further. “Nathan, stop looking. We’ve made a mistake. I asked the shop owner, and he said the girl earlier wasn’t named Isabella.”

Nathan hesitated, doubt clouding his sharp eyes.
