"I never knew before that you could actually cook."
"I’m not so lady from a wealthy family; being able to do these things is quite normal."
"Then I’ll go freshen up first, and co to taste your cooking in a bit."
"Okay."
For breakfast, Jas Yinley had an extra bowl compared to usual.
He truly didn’t expect Isla Linton’s cooking to be this good.
It certainly made him see her in a new light.
When she ca out after washing the dishes, she looked at him: "I’m going out to buy groceries."
"Really? Then I’ll go with you."
"What I an is... shouldn’t you be going back.
There’s still work that needs you in Mountain City; you can’t stay in Anchester forever."
Jas Yinley sighed: "You’re trying to get rid of ."
"I’m asking you to face the responsibilities you have."
"I’m working in Anchester recently, my secretary moved here with .
If you need , it’s convenient for to take care of you."
"I don’t need it," Isla Linton shook her head, picking up her bag: "Let’s go out together."
"You really can’t wait, huh. Fine, fine, I’ll go, is that not enough?"
He followed behind her as they went outside, and as they exited, she stood by the roadside without moving.
Jas Yinley asked, "Aren’t you going grocery shopping?"
"Yes, I’m seeing you off first."
"Let go with you to buy groceries first."
"No need, I can do it myself, you go first," she stubbornly looked at him, this ti, she wouldn’t relent.
Jas Yinley nodded: "Alright, I’m leaving."
A taxi stopped in front of them, Jas Yinley helplessly got in the car, and as it drove a few hundred ters away, he looked back, and Isla Linton was already out of sight.
He told the driver: "Sir, turn around, follow the lady from earlier."
The taxi soon found Isla Linton’s figure.
She was still standing by the roadside, lost in thought, and from the other side of the road, Jas Yinley looked at her with a pang of heartache.
After a long while, she finally turned and walked towards the market.
The taxi drove slowly, and he just watched her quietly.
When they were together before, how great it would have been if he could have spent more ti with her.
After he watched her enter the market, he got out of the car to follow her.
The distance between them was quite far, so Isla Linton hadn’t noticed his presence at all.
Later, after watching her finish shopping and return to the residence complex, he then asked the driver to take him back to the hotel.
Back in the room, he started handling work affairs.
A little after ten, he received a text ssage, he glanced at his phone, it was from Ivy Miller.
’Jas, is it convenient for you to talk now?’
Curious, he directly dialed the number.
Quickly, the call was answered: "Jas, how did things go last night, did you manage to win over Isla?"
Jas Yinley chuckled: "Your suggestion worked, she indeed let stay."
"You didn’t, you know, do the deed?"
"Of course not; given the circumstances, Isla would find it hard to accept ."
"Did she say anything softer, like... you can visit her in the future, or did she give you any sort of promise?"
Jas Yinley shook his head: "No, she asked to leave, to go back to Mountain City, and even said I shouldn’t look for her anymore.
But I feel I still have a chance, she still cares about .
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have kept last night out of concern."
Ivy, use your clever mind, help think about what I should do next."
"What can you do, just go again tonight, are you really planning to listen to her?
Won love being contrary, I don’t believe she’d actually kick you out if you went."
Jas nodded, true, it made sense.
"But I need an excuse, otherwise should I pretend to get drunk again?"
"Mister, getting drunk once is an accident, frequently getting drunk is ineffective.
Tonight you should go apologize, say that you shouldn’t have worried her by drinking too much last night, and bring sothing she likes to eat.
Also, don’t pressure her, don’t say things like asking her to go back with you.
She’s very resistant to these things now, just quietly stay by her side.
Won are most afraid when n treat them well; in this matter, no one can resist."
"Alright, I’ll listen to you."
"There’s one more thing..." she stopped a bit, seemingly hesitant.
"What’s up?"
"Um... I’m not sure if I should tell you this.
But if I don’t, I feel like I’ve done sothing guilty.
Isla asked not to tell anyone about this, including you.
But after so thought, since you love her so much, if you knew why she left you, maybe you wouldn’t feel so painful."
Jas Yinley frowned, crossing his arms: "I don’t get it, you always speak so straightforwardly, why are you hesitating today.
Just say what you have to, don’t dawdle. I haven’t known you long, but that’s really not like you."
Ivy Miller chuckled, indeed not like herself, she had never carried such a big burden before.
She’s soone who must say what’s on her mind.
Now she even dreams at night about being strangled by Jas Yinley, asking why she didn’t tell the truth sooner.
She’s truly collapsing from this, seriously.
And after further consideration, it’s indeed better for him to know.
Knowing might make him cherish more.
"I’ll tell you why Isla left you, but you have to promise not to act impulsively.
Before Isla agrees, don’t force her, give her so ti to adjust herself."
"Speak up, hurry, I’m dying from anxiety."
Ivy Miller gritted her teeth, deciding to go all out.
"Isla went to see a doctor, and because of the previous miscarriage, it might be difficult for her to get pregnant in the future.
She said your Yanley family values heirs, and she’s worried about not being able to continue the lineage, which is why she left you.
You’re not wrong in feeling; she still has feelings for you, she doesn’t want you to lose descendants because of her, she’s doing it for your good."
