Chapter 159

Nanette still had another event to rush off to.

After their conversation, Isadora decided to catch a daytime movie by herself.

Eleanor: "Isadora, come back home and stay with us. I'll make you something delicious."

Eleanor: "I was blind before. Please, give me another chance to take care of you."
