George remained silent, getting no response.

61% Finished The girl in his arms suddenly shifted her head, turning from face-down to resting her face against his stomach. George quietly sighed in relief.

Only then did he dare to look down at her.

Carefully, he brushed the hair away from her face and saw that her eyes were closed, her breathing steady -she was clearly falling asleep.

So, he stayed still and served as her pillow.

As her breathing grew deeper and more regular, George's tense body gradually relaxed. He gazed at her peaceful sleeping face, his eyes softening, and smiled gently.

He watched her sleep.

Isabelle slept for a little over an hour before waking up. She had slept relatively well, but not deeply, after dreaming of Storm Shadow.

When Isabelle opened her eyes, her mind was blank for a moment until she heard George's concerned voice above her. He asked, "Did you have a nightmare?" Isabelle didn't respond immediately. After a moment, she asked, “Did you stay here last night?" Her tone was neutral, as it usually was.

George replied, "Yes." "Did you sleep at all?” Isabelle continued.

"No," George said.

Isabelle moved off his lap and returned her head to the pillow. She turned her back to him and said, "Get ssleep." "I should probably go to the other room," George suggested.

"Stop being so fussy," Isabelle murmured with her eyes closed.

Finally, George took off his shoes and lay down on the bed, still dressed.

George had just closed his eyes when he heard Isabelle speak, “I have a friend in Dark Shadow. His nis Storm Shadow." He looked at the back of her head in surprise.

He hadn't expected her to bring up Dark Shadow, much less that she had a friend there. And a close one at that.

Before George could think further, Isabelle continued, “He has twin younger brothers. It's Joshua and that impostor." George knew the fake Joshua was a member of Dark Shadow, but what was the relationship between Storm Shadow and the fake Joshua? Were both brothers in Dark Shadow? No wonder she was so mad, but she still let the fake Joshua go.

George couldn't help but ask, "Your relationship with him, is it like the one you have with Yves and Jim?" Isabelle paused for a moment before she answered, "More than that." Could it be closer than her relationship with Yves and Jim? "I've known him longer than I've known Yves and Jim," Isabelle said. Actually, it was much longer.

George instinctively thought, Did this assassin named Storm Shadow teach her those combat skills? While George was pondering, Isabelle, who had been lying with her back to him, turned to face him but didn't open her eyes.

Her breath was close to his. It might have been unintentional, but George felt comforted by her proximity. So, he asked, "And the real Joshua?" He had already guessed most of what had happened.

Isabelle said, "His twin brother killed him.” Joshua was killed by his sibling. No wonder she had such a strong reaction.

George asked, "He doesn't know, does he?" Isabelle replied, "No." "What about Storm Shadow? Does he know?" George wondered if she was planning to see Storm Shadow next.

"He died," Isabelle said.

Her eyes remained closed.

George looked at her, knowing that her inner turmoil didn't match her calm demeanour. Despite his possessive nature, George wouldn't be jealous of a dead man.

He didn't ask further questions but held her hand in a silent gesture of comfort.

Not being jealous didn't mean he didn't care. George wondered if Storm Shadow's death was caused by Dark Shadow.

Isabelle slept until past two in the afternoon. When she openedbem eyes, she saw George's face close to En hers, still holding her hand. She wasn't sure if he was awake.

Isabelle raised her eyebrows slightly, momentarily forgetting that she had invited him to sleep there.

Fortunately, her mind cleared quickly, avoiding an unfair accusation against George.

Isabelle withdrew her hand. She shifted from lying on her sidecto lying on her back yawning lazily as she Π.

stared at the ceiling. After a moment, sensing something, she turned around and saw George looking at her.

Isabelle's face remained impassive and she asked, “What are you looking at?" She was annoyed.

George thought Isabelle seemed fine.

He asked, "Still sleepy?" Did she get up on the wrong side of the bed? She didn't answer, but she sat up and got out of bed. Then she headed to the bathroom.

George got up. He was straightening his wrinkled suit and was about to ask if she wanted anything to eat. Isabelle handed a toothbrush to him at the bathroom door.
