Patricia turned around, and to her shock, Isaac was right there. She was making things up just now to keep Adeline quiet. Why did he come over? Did he hear what I said? Patricia was in shock. Her mind was blank, and she had no idea what to do.

Her classmates were in awe as they just saw Isaac in the flesh. He was in a gray robe, and his hair was a little unkempt, but he was handsome, especially since he was smoking. He looked like a man in distress. The ladies were drooling over his looks, while the guys were surprised to see him. They wanted to approach him, but they were a little intimidated. It felt like they were facing a god.

Adeline was flummoxed as well. I just said I’ll be marrying him. Why did he show up all of a sudden? And he called Patricia, not me. What should I do? Adeline was scared. The marriage was fake. Everything was fake. She hoped he would not tell everyone that.
