NovelEnglishChapter 85
Isabelle suddenly becnervous. She whispered, "Who's going to pay for breakfast? There is no way Lucas
would pick up the tab, right?"
After everything about him was exposed last night, he went back to his room and hadn't been out since. No one
knew if he had already left or was still hiding out in his room.
Charlotte scoffed. "Don't mention him. Just thinking about him makessick!"
The conflicted Isabelle muttered, "I didn't want to bring him up either, but he did say he'd pay."
Matthew gave a peck on Isabelle's cheek. "Don't worry, my dear. | could always pay. We rarely get to go out, so
don't stress about money."
"That won't do. We ctogether, so why should you foot the bill alone? If Lucas doesn't pay for us, we'll just
have to split the bill among ourselves."

Upon hearing this, I glanced at Isabelle. It would seem that she was rather good to Matthew since she was willing
to speak up for him and cover for him. That must have been why Matthew was so devoted to her.
Charlotte stabbed at her omelet with a grumpy face. "I'm fine with splitting the bill for the room cost, but I'm not
the one who ordered breakfast. I'm not paying for this."
"Exactly!" Isabelle instantly turned to me. "William, you were the one who ordered breakfast, weren't you? Will
you be the one paying for it?"
| found them amusing. They were usually so high and mighty, looking down on anyone who was poor. Yet, when
it cto money, they were stingier than anyone, even more so than the people they looked down on.
| genuinely wondered what went through their heads.
"All of this is free, so just eat up."
That one sentence was enough to put their minds at ease.
"You should have said so earlier!"
"Free? Really? I'd better eat a lot then. These sausages are amazing! They have to be imported."
"The omelet is so good!"
"Darn! | forgot to take pictures. Hey! Stop eating, everyone! | need to take spictures. Quick, rearrange the
plates."
Excitement took over the two women as they spent the next ten minutes carefully arranging and photographing
the food before allowing Matthew andto continue our meal.
After breakfast, Charlotte seemed much more relaxed, no longer looking grumpy. She smiled as she and Isabelle
walked together, exchanging photos.
Matthew and | followed behind them, looking like two lackeys.
Matthew winked at me. "So, what do you think? Charlotte isn't that bad, right?"
| scoffed. "Compared to people like Lina, of course, she's a little better. But, dude, there are so many great

Why should | compare her to someone worse and not someone better? Any woman would seem great compared
to Lina.
Matthew burst out laughing. "But we don't know other good women, right? Plus, Charlotte and Isabelle are best
friends. If you and Charlotte got together, the four of us could hang out all the time."
Going on double dates with a friend would be fun. However, Charlotte was out of the question. Even if she
wanted me, | wouldn't want her. Compared to her, | liked Felicia much more.
Right then, | couldn't help but picture Felicia blankly looking atin her loose black T-shirt, her long hair down,
and her black-framed glasses perched on her nose. The thought of her madesmile.
| wondered what she was up to now.
On the way back, Isabelle laughed excitedly the whole time. "We didn't have to pay a single cent! | bet when
Lucas leaves, he'll be dumbfounded!
"Not only did he fail to impress any women, but he also ended up covering all the room charges for nothing. He's
going to be so pissed!"
