Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 700

Oscar continued to bury his head in work.

After leaving Oscar's office, Isabella slipped into a quiet stairwell where her eyes flashed with irrepressible rage and indignance.

“Oscar, my perseverance will definitely pay off. One of these days, you will still be mine,” Isabella vowed through her gritted teeth.

After venting her frustration, Isabella tidied her hair even though it wasn't messy at all. She then strutted out in a dignified manner and returned to her office.

In the afternoon, she and Olivia met for lunch in a nearby restaurant.

“Aunt Olivia, excuse me for being late, I was just caught up with work. Have you waited for long?” Isabella asked.

Standing up to wave at her, Olivia smiled warmly. “Come and have a seat. I just arrived too.”

Once Isabella settled down, she summoned the waiter and ordered Olivia's favorite dishes.

“Isabella, don't just order what I like, you should order what you enjoy too,” Olivia suggested.

Isabella instructed the waiter. “We'll have these. Please be quick about it.”

“All right, please wait a moment.”

When the waiter left, Isabella turned to Olivia and beamed. “Aunt Olivia, I like everything that you do. Both of us have the same taste.”

“You're such a darling to me.”

A smile broke across Isabella's face as she poured Olivia a cup of coffee. “Aunt Olivia, I'm surprised that you asked me out for lunch today.”

After taking a sip of her coffee, Olivia explained, “It's been a long time since I saw you, so I decided to invite you out. Why? Am I not welcome?”

“Of course not. I was waiting with anticipation to see you.”

Once the dishes were brought to the table, Isabella served Olivia the food. “Aunt Olivia, this is your favorite dish. Why don't you give it a try and see if it's up to your taste.”

After taking a bite out of courtesy, she casually asked, “Isabella, has Stephanie been lazy ever since she got married?”

Isabella's hand froze while holding her fork as images of Stephanie shopping for branded bags without anything else to do emerged in her head, causing a wicked glint to flash in her eyes. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Hiding the devious look in her eye, Isabella replied with a smile, “She's doing well and getting along fine with my parents. My whole family likes her a lot.”

Hearing that, Olivia's mind was put at ease.

“If she's being too difficult given how we spoil her at home, there's no need to put up with it,” Olivia suggested.

Isabella grinned as she served Olivia again. “Stephanie is a wonderful person. She's filial, generous, and cheers up the elders at home. Hence, my parents love her. As for the both of us, we're like sisters who keep no secrets since I have known her before she got married.”

Olivia beamed. “That's a relief. I was worried that she would get on your parents' nerves instead.”

“Not at all. She's sensible in what she does.”

Using Stephanie as an icebreaker, both of them chatted jovially with each other.
