Can't Win Me Back (Isabella and Nathan) novel Chapter 118

Isabella was grateful for Nathan's kindness, but her way of repaying him was through small and consistent acts of kindness. Since then, she became very caring towards Nathan.

He came home, and she would immediately hand him his slippers. When he got drunk, she would learn to cook sobering soup for him. When he fell ill and had a fever, the maids in the house would try their best to avoid contact with him in a very tactful and subtle manner, but only Isabella was not afraid of getting infected. She foolishly took care of him every day, undressing him and attending to his needs. When he had a car accident, she even went to the temple, devoutly kneeling before the Buddha and earnestly begging the high monk to bless him with a consecrated amulet.

The maids at home used to tease her, "Isabella, you are so nice to Mr. Nanthan. Could it be that you have fallen for him?"

Isabella blushed and shook her head like a tambourine. "How could I possibly have such foolish delusions? Hill is like an eagle in the sky, while I am just a melon on the ground. We are from different worlds, and it is impossible for us to be together."

Seeing the maid's disbelief, Isabella then explained the truth, "Please don't misunderstand. I never had any romantic feelings towards Mr. Hill. I was only kind to him as a way to repay him for sponsoring my education."

She had always been a grateful child, and the maids naturally believed her.

However, her excessive doting on Nathan actually sparked a hint of thoughts that he shouldn't have, making him arrogant and stubborn.

Every woman who had contact with him, who didn't have the intention of climbing the social ladder? Isabella, a girl from a poor family, was probably even more ruthless in her methods to achieve her goals.

"Isabella, do you like me?" Nathan, wearing a black robe with an open collar, exposing his sexy Adam's apple, cornered Isabella, who was about to bring him tea, on a sunny afternoon.

Isabella opened a pair of innocent and harmless eyes, shining like a galaxy, and looked at Nathan, saying, "Brother Hill, of course I like you."

Her frank and cheerful nature puzzled Nathan.

He doubted whether the girl understood what he meant by "liking".

However, the impatient Nathan, who is always seeking quick success, was unwilling to accept defeat. Therefore, he deluded himself into thinking that her liking was a romantic interest between a man and a woman.

Since then, he would occasionally tease her.

"Isabella, what did you like about your brother?"

"Although Brother Hill comes from a prestigious family, he does not have the air of a playboy. Instead, he is self-reliant and diligently manages his own business," Isabella praised Nathan, her words flowing like a never-ending stream.

Nathan was surprised. Was her admiration for him merely admiration for his self-reliance? Unlike other girls, was she not admiring his luxury car, his connections...

"Isabella, I never expected you to be such an ambitious girl. Will Brother Hill teach you how to do business in the future?"

Isabella was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Thank you, Brother Hill."

He did make a promise, giving Isabella some hope.

But in the long years to come. This sentence is like a thunderbolt, a lightning, just exploded in the vast sky, and then disappeared completely. As if it had never happened.

Did Nathan throw it into the clouds?

Isabella was probably too young, and she was too oblivious to matters of romance. Or perhaps, as a girl who struggled to survive, she was solely focused on improving herself, so that she would have the means to live a better life in the future. Therefore, she didn't understand any of Nathan's subtle hints and innuendos.

Nathan, however, seemed impatient.

He began to launch an active offensive against Isabella.

"Bella, why did you study so hard?"

"Because only through hard work can one find a good job. Only then can I earn a lot of money to repay the kindness of Brother Hill."

"In fact, you didn't have to work so hard. Brother Hill could have supported you for a lifetime."

The maid was so scared that the porcelain in her hands almost fell to the ground.

Nanthan was being overly attentive to Isabella, it seemed forced.
