Chapter 285 No Chance

Carl left looking deflated: all the energy had drained out of him. Even his conversation with George lacked any enthusiasm.

Isabelle was ready to have her dinner. The couple needed some time alone to bond. Not wanting to linger awkwardly, Carl had to take his leave.

Carl replied, “Stop stabbing me in the heart.

He thought for a moment and concluded, “I can’t rely on you much, especially when it comes to finding a wife. Friends are fine too, I suppose.”

Percy said, “I think it’s better to forget it. Did you see how protective George was? If I dared to do anything. I might end up dead on the battlefield one day.”

Isabelle sat down and took a sip of the soup. She noticed there was quite a lot of food and asked, “Have you eaten yet?”
