Chapter 425

Isadora stepped into the Fitzgerald estate, where a housekeeper informed her that Victor was out back playing with Pudding. Without hesitation, she headed straight for the garden.

As she made her way down the long hallway, Isadora glanced ahead and to her surprise, Finley was there too.

He greeted her with a warm smile. "Isa, it's been ages."

She couldn't help but linger on him for a moment, curiosity piqued—especially now that he was dating Nanette. "Didn't expect to see you here today," she remarked.

Finley nodded. "Just came by to give Pudding a check-up."

At the mention of Pudding, Isadora's concern flickered. The dog was getting old, and she worried about his health. "Is Pudding okay?"

"Don't worry," Finley replied with an easy grin. "It's just a routine check-up. He's as lively as ever-he's still got a few good years left in him."

Relieved, Isadora smiled. "That's good to hear."

Off to the side, Victor watched the exchange with a furrowed brow. Since Isadora had arrived, she'd been chatting with Finley nonstop-completely ignoring him. He shot Finley a cold look and, in a tone that left no room for argument, said, "Aren't you leaving?"

Finley blinked, a little taken aback. No invitation to dinner-just getting kicked out?
