“Ryan must really be lacking in love, otherwise, with all those girls chasing after him, why would he end up with
you?” Isabelle was so young and straightforward that she blurted out way more than she should have.
| was honestly surprised. All this time, I've only ever gotten to know Ryan himself, not all the stuff going on
around him. As for how many girls are into him-honestly, | can’t even begin to imagine.
“Hey, how cyou never askabout all those girls chasing after Ryan?” Isabelle said, sounding bored as she
poked at the row of trinkets on my dashboard, tilting her head playfully at me.
“I'm not looking to make myself miserable,” | replied.
“Not even a little bit curious?” Isabelle blinked in surprise. “If | had a crush, I'd be digging up every scrap of info |

legend too. Ryan's basically the direct heir of the whole family. And his uncle... uh, I'm not sure if | should spill
that part.”
| really hadn’t expected Isabelle to share all this with me-it totally caughtoff guard.
“Lettell you a secret,” Isabelle whispered, leaning in. “Uncle Ryan and Ryan's dad? They're only half-

Seeing my reaction, isabelle immediately slapped a hand over her mouth. “Oops, | probably shouldn't spill any
