Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 540 The Naked Insult

"Of course, it's true," Gilbert said confidently.

"Am I not good enough?" Isabel cracked a pure and innocent smile.

He stared at her smile and steeled himself. "Good? Am I supposed to believe you're the only one nice to me? Do you really think you're my only admirer? With a snap of my fingers, people are willing to sleep with me. Can you do that? Don't think too highly of yourself. It's all about knowing your place." His words were an open insult, and she immediately lost her composure.

Her eyes reddened as she stared intently at him with exhaustion and determination showing in her gaze. "Fine, if that's how it is, let's give it a shot. I've heard that when you're with someone you like, you can feel it—"

Her words made him increasingly uncomfortable, and his smile froze when he looked at her.

Afterward, Isabel gently undid the buttons on her shirt one by one, with a hint of girlish tenderness and shyness on her face. As she took off her top, revealing her soft pink bra, Gilbert finally snapped out of it. Grabbing a coat from the back of a chair, he covered her and shouted, "Isabel Lynwood!" He called her full name for the first time, furious.

When she heard that, she shivered, possibly from the cold but more likely from fear. However, the fact that her actions had angered him gave her a strange sense of relief. Does this mean I have a special place in his heart?

"This is your first time doing something like this, and I hope it's your last. Don't do this again," he said with a slightly annoyed expression. Nevertheless, his words did not reflect his concern for her, and he continued, "Otherwise, I won't be able to face your sister."

"Can you stop bringing up my sister?" When Isabel heard his words, the light in her eyes slowly faded. Unable to contain her anger, she pushed him away hard. "Gilbert, tell me straight up if you don't like me. Can you stop using my sister against me?"
