A Night's Mistake: The Besotted CEO's Obsession

Chapter 232

Tears welled up in Isabella’s eyes once more as she gazed at Anthony before her with a complex expression.

“Why’s be so cautious? He’s changed like a totally different person, she mused.

She had made up her mind to go separate ways with him upon his recovery. Then again, she wavered.

“Stop crying” Anthony wiped Isabella’s tears off. T’ll never wander off again. I’ll make sure to let you know I’m safe, always, okay?” Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Tabella burst into tears as if she was finally able to vent her emotions.

Panicked, Anthony clumsily dried her tears.

The people around them consciously left some space for the two.

Il she wanted because she knew she had somebody watching over her.

Isabella had not shed tears like that for ages. She bawled her eyes out all

In the past year, she had grown so much and had braved all dificulties with tranquility. Only that day when she sighted Anthony’s careful attitude. she seemed to have lost all power to press on.

Even so, Isabella was still worried that it might take a toll on Anthony’s health, this wiping away her tears and helping him into the room

Right then, Hank walked over and stood three feet away from them with a hesitant expression.

Witnessing that Anthony thought Hunk would dredge up about regaining his memory again, so his gaze instantly became cold and stern. “Piss off”

Hunk realized that he had been too aggressive, so he bowed at Anthony to show reverence. “Mr. Clara, I’m sorry. Td crossed the line for the past two days

Anthony stared back without a word

Hunk continued, “We’re raised by the Clara family, so we’ll follow you to the ends of the earth. Your wish will always be our command. Mishaps like this won’t ever happen again.”

After Hunk finished speaking, the other subordinates from afar also came to show their loyalty.

Anthony was still frowning, his frosty gaze sweeping over their faces, and the supreme aura from him wafted across them, so to speak. Even Isabella, who was standing in front of Anthony, could feel it and shuddered slightly.

Suddenly, Anthony’s eyebrows relaxed as he budged. He gripped Isabella’s hand and asked with concern, “What’s wre

Isabella was a little pale, for the familiar moment had trembled her. Facing Anthony’s gentle eyes, though, she kept mum and shook her head slightly.

Seeing that Isabella was okay, Anthony turned to Hunk and the rest. “Stop waiting on me from now, I don’t plan to go back to the Clara family. 1 simply wanna stay here and take care of the people that I love and make up for all the wrong things I’ve done.

When Anthony said the last sentence, he eyed Isabella affectionately again.

Isabella avoided eye contact with Anthony awkwardly, wondering if being with Anthony again was a mistake. Anthony was like a bomb waiting to explode and remember the past at any point. By then,

she would have no way out,

Anthony was not disappointed to be greeted by Isabella’s resistance. Instead, he grasped her hand more tightly and felt sorry for Isabella.

He had no recollection of his past deeds, but from Isabella’s words, he knew that he had hurt her deeply, which was why he must find a way to make up for it.

Hunk and the others noticed Anthony’s mixed expression and finally compromised.

“Mr. Clara, even if you don’t intend to return to the Clara family, please let us follow you.”

“What he uid, Mr. Clara”

“This is the border. Dangers are lurking at every corner. I’ll be safer with us around

The group took turns expressing their views.

Anthony raised his hand weakly and interrupted, I’m good. I can take care of myself and the people I care about. You guys should return to the Chara family or go about your own life. There’s still time, so best if you don’t linger around. Leave”

After dropping that he held Isabella’s hand and stepped inside

“But Mr. Clara…” Hunk and the gang would not give up.

Anthony turned and glared at them firmly. “Don’t make me repeat myself”

Hunk and the rest hashed and packed up their things before leaving

As they got out not far from Serene Sanctuary, one of the subordinates asked Hunk, “Hunk, are we just gonna leave?”

Hank beheld Serene Sanctuary from afar and sighed deeply. “Since Mr. Clara didn’t want us to follow him around, we could only guard him in the shadows. I’ll be counting on you guys.”

“It’s our duty. I wonder when his memory will be back. If he doesn’t get his memory back, are we gonna stay protecting him in the dark forever!” The subordinates were skeptical

They were all brought up by the Clara family and would only serve that family all their lives

Given that they had chosen Anthony, they were bound to wait on him unless he bit the dust.

That was why they wanted Anthony to recover his memory and return to the Clara family so that they could find their own resolve.

Came Hunk’s order in a deep voice. “Let’s hold off and watch. I bet those jerks won’t give up so soon. We need to stay vigilant.”

“Right” were the group’s response.

Meanwhile, back at Serene Sanctuary, Isabella helped Anthony lie on the bed while she sat beside him.

Anthony, in turn, had his gaze pinned on Isabella as if he could not bear to get his eyes off of her face.

Isabella felt quite uneasy being stared at, hence frowning while uttering coquettishly. “Why do you keep looking at me like that?”

Anthony smiled, and even the mole near the corner of his eyes looked particularly vivid because of that Tm all by myself. I only have you now, Don’t ditch me.”

“I didn’t sign up for this retorted Isabella.

“Neither did you object to that. I’ll take it as you agreed, cooed Anthony, suppressing his laughter.

Isabella pouted and looked away.

As Anthony was lying on the bed with a smile, he asked, “Can you tell me more about our past?”

Isabella looked at him in surprise. “Did I already fill you in the other day? I’m not gonna keep recalling those things”

Seeing Isabella’s resistance, Anthony reckoned that he must have been such a jerk to her. He wanted nothing more but to make it up to her.

However, before that, he needed to ascertain one of his longest doubts.

Anthony mulled over it for a long time before finally questioning, “When did you jump into the sear

Isabella did not quite follow. “Why do you ask?”

“Just wanna know why. You didn’t tell me the last time.” Anthony pressed on

“It was about a year and a half ago. I’m not telling you the reason,” Isabella said calmly.

That made Anthony arch a brow slightly. An unknown emotion brewed in his heart.

“So..” Anthony paused halfway.

Considering that Isabella was

was not ready to accept him, he figured it would be counterproductive to expose the matter.

Noticing Anthony stop talking abruptly, Isabella frowned. “So what?”
