No Remarriage for us Stay Away by Livia Storm

Chapter 450 Delay Her As Long As You Can

After the plane took off, Zachary remained absorbed in his work, only responding briefly with "no" when the flight attendant asked if he needed any drinks or food. Isla glanced at Zachary, bit her lip, and coquettishly told the flight attendant, "I'll have a glass of milk."

After speaking, she cast a sidelong glance at Zachary, only to see him still focused intently on his laptop screen, completely oblivious to her presence.

Isla pouted.

Eager to make some noise to catch his attention, she tried various little tricks, but to no avail.

After half an hour, she asked for a meal from the flight attendant, ate it, and then asked the attendant to collect her trash.

Still, Zachary's attention remained fixed on his work. Growing impatient, Isla devised a plan.

She took out her lipstick and mirror from her bag, pretending to touch up her makeup.

Suddenly, her hand slipped, and the lipstick fell to the ground, rolling right to Zachary's feet.

Isla's lips curled into a subtle smile before she smoothed her expression and said to Zachary, "Excuse me, sir, could you pick up my lipstick for me?" Zachary finally reacted.

His attention shifted from his work as he looked toward the speaker in confusion. When he saw it was Isla, his brows furrowed slightly.

Feigning surprise, Isla said, "Oh, it's you! Um, could you help me pick up my lipstick?"

Zachary followed the direction of her finger, saw the lipstick near his feet, bent down to pick it up, handed it back to her, and returned to his work without a word, treating her as if she were a complete stranger. "Thank you."

Isla felt a pang of discomfort at being so blatantly ignored.

She had hoped for a warm response from him, but her pride wouldn't allow her to appear too eager.

Opening her mouth, she said, "I hope you don't get the wrong idea. I'm just heading back home to visit my family. I didn't know you'd be on this flight."

As the words fell, Isla watched Zachary's expression out of the corner of her eye, waiting for a response.

The first-class cabin was quiet, with only the hum of the aircraft, occasional snores from sleeping passengers, the clatter of keyboard typing, or the sound of pages turning breaking the silence. The silence grew heavier.

It was as if Zachary hadn't heard Isla's words. His face remained calm and unbothered as he immersed himself in his work.

It wasn't that he misunderstood her. He simply didn't care why she was on the plane.

Isla's expression stiffened for a moment.

Feeling awkward, she retracted her gaze, scoffing inwardly, Just wait until he learns who my uncle is. Let's see if he dares to treat me like this then!

Her uncle was Matthew.
