Isabella curled up in the corner of the balcony, with her phone beside her and a webpage still open. The light from the phone screen shimmered alongside the starlight. However, it couldn’t illuminate the surroundings.

It was a pitch–black night.

The door suddenly creaked, and Theo turned on the, switch on the wall.

Isabella scrambled to her feet and said, “Theodore, can my work be paused for a while?”

Theo walked up to her and reached out to tuck her messy hair behind her ears, asking, “Why?”

“I have a bad reputation now, and I’m afraid it will drag you down,” she whispered.

Theo reached out and lifted her chin, making her gaze at the starry sky.

Isabella remained silent for a while and then spoke slowly, “I divorced Nathan, and he will do everything possible to retaliate against me. Until our war is over, please keep your distance from me. Don’t let me drag you down.”

“Sister wants me to remain celibate? Am I still a human being then?”

“You minded your own business, so you could secretly help me.”

“That’s right. With one in the light and one in the dark, we join forces to deal with Nathan. It will surely add a lot of fun to our lives. So it’s settled, sister, you can’t go back on your word.”

“Um.”

Nathan’s frequency of looking at his phone has noticeably increased recently. Whether he is eating, sleeping, or even working, he would occasionally glance at the phone screen subconsciously. Not seeing Isabella’s incoming text message, he inexplicably felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

He thought that if he showed off his affection with Victoria, Isabella would still get jealous and go crazy like before. But Isabella didn’t show any reaction at all.

Just like strangers, without love or hate.
