Chapter 173
After Isabella replied with that emoticon, the other party no longer responded
to her. She hadn’t received anything even by the time she got home. Gordon
parked the car once they arrived at Isabella’s, but he didn’t notice how she
seemed to be engrossed in her phone. He kept the car doors locked as he
remained in his seat with a frown on his face.
Isabella looked up and put her phone away when she realized that they had
arrived at her place. “Thank you for driving me back,” she said. Out of
nowhere, Gordon said, “Leonard is interested in you.” Isabella froze for a
moment before looking at the serious expression on Gordon’s face. After a
while, she burst out laughing. “How is it possible that everyone seems to be
interested in me?”
Gordon scoffed. “Don’t you know how attractive you are?”
Isabella shrugged as she held up the jellyfish container and swayed it under
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe dim street lights. “I can tell when men are attracted to my looks, but I
never take them too seriously,” she replied. Gordon pressed his lips together.
It seemed like Isabella was referring to Leonard, but he felt like she might also

be referring to him.
Isabella didn’t care what Gordon thought-she simply knocked on the car
door while speaking. “Open up.” Gordon unlocked the doors with a gloomy
look on his face. Once Isabella got out of the car, she leaned down and
looked into the car once more. “Thank you, Gordon,” she said sincerely.
He let out a sigh before wiping the gloomy look off his face. “I’ll come over to
pick you up tomorrow,” he said, leaning closer to the passenger’s side of the
car. “Your family’s going to be busy tomorrow. You don’t have to pick me up.
You can just send me an invitation, and I’ll come over on my own tomorrow.”
Isabella felt bad asking so much from Gordon.
“Why would I be busy? Do you think those people are worth my time?” Gordon
spun his steering wheel as he prepared to drive off. “You can go inside. I’ll pick
you up tomorrow,” he said stubbornly. Isabella had no choice but to
straighten up and take a step back. After winding up the window, Gordon
drove off while Isabella watched as his car disappeared down the road.
Then, Isabella turned around and walked into her house, shifting her focus
back to her chat with Leonard. The two emoticons in the chat box made it Ox

were just two clueless individuals looking at each other blankly. Isabella
thought to herself, Maybe Leonard’s just another weirdo. She pursed her lips.
and eventually put her phone away before heading up to her house.
On the other end, Seth found himself stuck after receiving Isabella’s reply. It
was true that he didn’t know how to flirt through text-he had only managed

gotten lucky in the past. However, things were tougher for him now that
Isabella had become more observant and adaptable around people.
With the phone in Seth’s hands, the rest of the guys around him knew what
was going on when they heard the vibration of the phone. Leonard turned
around to look at Dariel and mouthed, “What’s happening?” Dariel responded
by blinking his eyes, indicating that Seth was really bad at dirty texting.
Leonard couldn’t understand the message at all. He thought to himself, What
am I supposed to do? That’s my phone, and… we’ve arrived at Seth’s place.
The rest of the men had some drinks, and Leonard, being the only one who
hadn’t drunk, was the designated driver. They had arrived at Seth’s housing
area, but Seth remained still-he showed no intention of getting out of the
car. The rest of the men waited for the phone to vibrate again, and they
séemed more invested in this matter than in their own love lives.
Eventually, Simon cleared his throat and turned to look at Seth. “It’s getting
