Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 474 A Bet

"Thank you, Elsie. Thanks for everything you've done for me. I will never forget that."

Elspeth wrapped her arms around Isabel and patted her back. "Alright, alright, don’t mention it. You've always been like a sister to me, so of course, I want what's best for you." As soon as the two finished their conversation, Elspeth took Isabel back to Gilbert. "Take good care of her, or you're going to get it from me."

"Of course, she is also like a sister to me." Gilbert raised his eyebrows, but when Isabel heard what he called her, she somehow felt disappointed on the inside.

"Go home now. You've drunk enough here. Also, don't ever tell Isabel to get you whenever you're drunk. The bar is no place for a young lady like her." Elspeth reminded Gilbert, as she didn't want to let Isabel's mother down.

Nevertheless, Gilbert grew tired of Elspeth's nagging and walked away with Isabel after responding with a perfunctory grunt. As soon as they stepped out of the bar, Gilbert's face darkened, but Isabel was observant enough to notice the change in the man's facial expression. "What's wrong? Why do you look so upset?"

"What do you think about me, Isabel?" Gilbert stopped in his tracks and leaned on his car, reaching for a cigarette in his pocket while smoking like a charming character in the movie.

Due to her strong dislike for the smell of cigarettes, Isabel almost suffocated from the smoky atmosphere that filled the air in the bar earlier, but for some reason, she didn't seem to find it disgusting at all when she saw Gilbert smoking. Even so, she didn't answer Gilbert's question directly because she was fully aware of the damage that smoking could do to a person's health. "You should stop smoking. It's bad for your health."

While Gilbert would have usually just stubbed the cigarette straight away, he didn't do that but instead leaned even closer to Elspeth and puffed a smoke ring at her. "You seem to care about me."

"Um..."

"Just answer me. What do you think of me?"
