Isabella paused in her tracks, but she didn’t even lift her eyelids.
As if he were just a bothersome stone on the side of the road, she walked straight past him.
The air was filled with the faint smell of gunpowder and blood mixed together, lingering around her.
“Isabella! James suddenly turned around, grabbing her wrist.”
“Did you go all the way from Washington to the United Kingdom just for another man, huh?”
His voice was cold, every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
Isabella finally turned her head and calmly glanced at him, her eyes so unfamiliar that it startled him.
“There’s nothing more to say.”
Her voice was very soft, but it was like a blunt knife slowly cutting his
nerves.
James stared at her calm face, the anger in his chest almost ready to explode, but he managed to suppress it.
The next second, he suddenly chuckled and said, “Not surprised to see me at all?”
“Did you already anticipate that I would chase after you?”

He approached a step closer, his tall figure almost completely enveloping her, with a thick layer of paranoia in his eyes.
“So, all of this was intentional by you?”
“Did you leave me on purpose to see if I would chase after you? Did you intentionally carry another man’s things to provoke me?”
“Isabella, when did you become so scheming!”
Isabella furrowed her beautiful brows as if she were looking at a crazy person who was being unreasonable.
“Are you crazy?”
Her voice remained calm, gently scratching James’s fraying nerves like a feather.
The bloodshot veins in his eyes were even worse, almost about to burst out from the eye sockets.
“Was I crazy?”
He chuckled softly.
“Isabella, you drove me crazy!”
He tightened her wrist slightly, almost wanting to merge her into his own flesh and blood.
“You wanted to see me jealous for you, wanted to see me lose control for you, wanted to see me go crazy with jealousy for you!”
“Isabella, he said slowly, emphasizing each word, “how dare you….. use this method to get back at me, to prove that I care about you!“”

Isabella groaned in pain, but still showed no sign of weakness as she coldly shook off his hand.
“Are you finished with your nerves? I want to go home.”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the entrance of the apartment building, her back resolute, without a hint of nostalgia.
James’s chest heaved violently, anger burning so hot that he almost lost control, and he chased after him without a second thought.
“Isabella!”
He had just caught up to the door when the door of the apartment opened from the inside.
A man in a silk robe leaned leisurely against the door frame, his dark hair slightly damp, his handsome face showing the laziness of just having taken a bath.
It was Bradley.
James’s footsteps suddenly stopped, and his pupils contracted sharply as he saw the man’s face clearly.
The air seemed to freeze at that moment.
Bradley’s gaze lightly swept over James before finally landing on Isabella. His voice was gentle as he said, “You’re back? The water has been boiled.”
The tone was so familiar as if they had already spent countless days and nights together like this.
James’s blood rushed to his head in an instant, his temples pounding and

a buzzing sound in his ears.
He stared at Isabella with a fierce anger and disbelief churning in his eyes, “Who is he?!”
Isabella turned her face towards him, with a faint, cold curve at the corner of her mouth.
“Didn’t Mr. Keane see everything?”
Her flat tone was like a sharp knife, piercing James’s heart deeply.
“Isabella! he roared, veins bulging on his forehead.”
“Bang!”
In response to him, Isabella mercilessly slammed the door shut, shutting out all of his questions and anger.
Inside the door, there was no sound anymore.
James stared at the tightly closed door with bloodshot eyes.
He raised his hand, wanting to smash the door, but his fist stopped weakly in mid–air.
In the end, he just slumped down, leaning against the cold wall, letting the late–night chill of London envelop him.
The warm yellow light shining through the apartment window was particularly glaring at this moment.
I don’t know how long passed, the warm yellow light went out.
James’s heart also sank into the bottomless abyss.

He was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and his teeth were grinding loudly.
Alright, Isabella, you were great!
