Chapter 65
The pen in Nathan's hand slipped and fell onto the desk.
His chest rose and fell unevenly, and his emotions began to stir with agitation.
“Who is that man?”
Regardless of whether Isabella was truly cheating or not, in Nathan's eyes, the fact that she was getting too
close to another man was enough to embarrass him.
Moore's mother replied, “I don’t know his name, but | know he’s tall, very thin, wears sunglasses, and a Givenchy
suit, with a very expensive diamond watch.
He's very protective of Isabella. When I just ruffled her hair a little, he went mad and pushedaway.
It's clear that he cares about my daughter a lot.”
Nathan's face darkened in an instant.
Although he didn’t care much for Isabella, the thought of another man fulfilling the role of caring for her-the role
that should belong to him as her husband-ignited a possessive jealousy within him.
Moore's mother’s gaze lingered on Nathan, assessing him.
“Son-in-law, that man looks either very rich or of high status, and he’s very handsome.

His demeanor is not at all inferior to yours.”
The last part of her sentence completely triggered him:

“More importantly, he’s even willing to supportfor Isabella... and | think Isabella really cares about him.”
Nathan suddenly snapped, hurling the glass on his desk across the room.
Even though he didn’t love Isabella, his male pride could not accept the betrayal of her affections.
“Isabella, if you dare to be unfaithful to me, | will never forgive you!”
He spoke with bitter rage.
But he forgot one thing-he was the one who had been unfaithful to her first.
The night sky was clear and peaceful.
Isabella and Theodore sat on a bench by the moat, the two of them silent for a long time.
After a while, Isabella turned her head and spoke to Theodore.
“Theodore, you don’t need to worry about my mom.
No matter how much you give her, she'll never be satisfied.”
Isabella’s gaze drifted towards a small hill in the distance, her eyes filled with sorrow and despair, as if looking
through tinto a decaying past.

“Even if | gave my life for her, she wouldn't appreciate a single bit of it.”
Theodore suddenly reached out and gently took her trembling hand.
He could deeply empathize with her feeling of despair, as he too had been abandoned by his father, despite
doing nothing wrong, merely because he was born to a woman his father didn’t love.
“Sis, you are great.”
He said softly, the short phrase carrying an immense sense of strength.
Yes, she had once thought herself worthless under her father’s neglect and her mother’s harshness.
But after seeing more of the world and experiencing different things, she had finally realized just how
exceptional she was.
Her parents’ lack of love was not her fault.
“You are the most important person to me,” he whispered, his head resting gently on her shoulder as he
teasingly added,
“sis, you need to spend more twithfrom now on.”
A man who was both elegant and sinister, righteous yet wicked, mature yet innocent-suddenly acting so
childishly was something Isabella could not resist.
“Yes, you are the most important person to me,” she replied, her hand gently ruffling his dark, shiny hair as if he
were her pet.
Suddenly, Theodore cupped her face in his hands, forcing her to

In the future, | will always be the most important person to you.
And you will always be the most important person to me.”
Isabella froze, startled by his actions.
The look in his eyes reminded her of the one Nathan often gave Victoria an attentive tenderness that only a man
who deeply cared for a woman, could express.
She awkwardly pulled away from his grasp.
“Theodore, there's a limit to how close men and women can be,” she said gently, yet firmly, as if giving him a
kind but necessary lesson.
Theodore froze for a moment, his grip loosening slightly.
But in the next second, his hands beclike clamps, firmly holding her face in his palms.
“Men and women can’t be close? When you savedback then, you saw all of me.
We've already been completely honest with each other.
I've already considered you my closest family.”
His straightforwardness, unashamed and open, made Isabella feel a deep sense of shame.
She had been seeing him as that charismatic man from a
