She decided to boldly reach out for a hug. Thinking it would be a brief embrace, she didn’t expect Theodore,
being so tall, would accidentally cause her petite frto wrap her arms around his slender waist.
This little guy really had a great physique-lean but firm, as if sculpted from years of fitness.
Without overthinking, Isabella bombarded him with questions:
“Are you getting used to being back home?”
“Did your stepmother and brother give you the cold shoulder?”
“Does Grandpa treat you well?”
Theodore held her tightly, as though afraid she might turn into a butterfly and fly away.
He recalled his first day back home: after retorting to his stepmother during dinner, she deliberately complained
to his father. Without asking for the truth, his father slammed his bowl on the ground and ordered him to kneel
as punishment.
He knew they were sending him a message-a warning that he was merely an outsider in the Sanchez family.

That night, he endured it.
“I'm fine, Sis,” he finally released her, smiling brightly.
Isabella examined him up and down, circling around him to confirm he was truly unharmed. Only then did she let
out a sight of relief.
She suddenly remembered her purpose for coming and extended her hand unapologetically. “Didn't you say you
had a surprise for me?”
Theodore stepped closer, pointing to his face. “Sis, the surprise is right here.”
Isabella finally understood-his so-called surprise was himself.
She couldn't help but chuckle, feigning annoyance. “What kind of surprise is that? | can’t eat it or admire it...”
Theodore feigned grievance. “Sis, am | not good-looking? If you can admire flowers and the moon, why not
admiretoo? I’m the most handsguy in our school.”
Isabella affectionately adjusted his tie. “Yes, my Theo is the. most handsome. Too bad it's wasted on that
wretched mother- and-son duo. Seeing someone as good-looking as you every day must be making them eat
two extra bowls of rice.”

Theodore gave a modest smile, though his heart was clear. That pair would sooner drink his blood and flay his
skin than. appreciate his looks.
“After becoming Mater Jasmine’s apprentice, Sis, do you have any plans?” he asked as they sat down, voicing the
question on his mind.
A tranquil peace reflected in Isabella’s eyes. “For now, I'll follow Teacher Jasmine and learn from her. Once I've
mastered my skills, | want to create my own fashion brand and start my own fashion and jewelry company.”
Theodore frowned slightly. “Is that all?”
Isabella nodded. To her, achieving those two dreams would already feel like a tremendous blessing.
“And what about you and Nathan?” he probed.

Her face turned pale, her whole demeanor filled with resistance. “This tormenting relationship with Nathan has
leftcovered in scars. I'm determined to divorce him. But the cost of divorcing him is too high-he won't agree
to it easily.”
Theodore fell silent for a moment before smiling. “Sis, it wasn’t easy for you to becTeacher Jasmine’s
apprentice. This is the best tfor you to focus on your career. As for the divorce, let's take our time.”

Stars sparkled in Isabella's eyes. “Yes, I'll devote all my passion to my career.”
Theodore poured a glass of milk and handed it to Isabella. Then, holding up a glass of white wine, he said, “Let's
have a toast. | wish you a brilliant future, Sis. When you return someday, you'll shine like the brightest star.”
Isabella smiled, but her expression quickly turned stern when she noticed the wine in his hand. She angrily
snatched it away, replacing it with a cup of iced tea. “I wish you, Theo, to return one day, still as pure and
youthful as ever.”
They shared a warm smile, the unspoken complexities of their emotions blending into the milk and tea.
Nathan stormed out of the elevator, striding angrily toward Ava.
“Is Isabella in there?” he demanded.
