Chapter 156

Isabella had a restless sleep for a few hours and vaguely sensed someone

opening the door to her room. She rolled over, ignored it, and continued

sleeping.

It wasn’t until 6.00AM when her phone alarm went off as usual that she

mumbled and reached for her phone with closed eyes.

However, instead of finding her phone, she touched something soft and furry.

She paused for a moment and then quickly woke up. She opened her eyes

abruptly and propped herself up.

She lowered her gaze and finally saw the head lying next to her bed…

Isabella took a deep breath and almost thought that she was dreaming. She

rubbed her eyes vigorously several times to confirm that it was indeed real.

“Mr. Shaffer?”

She tentatively called out, but the man lying there didn’t move at all.

When did he come back? There was no sound at all. His movements were as

quiet as a ghost.

Furthermore, why did he come back?

Isabella was bewildered, but she didn’t dare to speak loudly. She could

clearly see half of Seth’s face exposed outside his arm. He seemed to have

stayed up all night; the dark circles under his eyes were quite severe.

She pursed her lips, and as her gaze swept around, she suddenly noticed a

food container on the bedside table.

Was it takeout?

Isabella sniffed the air, and her eyes lit up as she recognized the aroma she

had been craving.

She was excited yet confused. She wondered why it took him all night to buy

a bowl of pasta.
