However, she quickly suppressed her uneasy emotions, coldly changed her shoes, and began to walk upstairs,
completely ignoring Nathan as if he were invisible.
Nathan, furious, shouted, “Isabella, stop right there!”
Isabella paused at the stairs and looked down at him.
“Is there something wrong?”
“Where did you go so late? Don’t you think you should explain yourself?”
Nathan questioned.
Isabella frowned.
“I remember, just today you said we're living our own lives, minding our own business, and not interfering with

That's why he had shamelessly proposed their open marriage, expecting no resistance.
But now, he was beginning to regret it.
He walked up to her, his face tight with anger.
“Even if we have an open marriage, don’t forget, you're still Mrs.

“What about you and my Sis?”
Nathan was seething, his face turning red with fury.
“I'm innocent with your Sis!”
Isabella sneered.
“Nathan, you hide behind the guise of family affection, yet you're having an affair with her.
It's disgusting, do you know that?”
Isabella swallowed hard..
