Chapter 239: The Poisonous Mango (8)

Does it mean she noticed?

A surge of emotion flashed through Percy's heart: what he feared the most was not endless devotion, but that his devotion didn't elicit any response. Although it was just a simple thank you, he felt a satisfying sense of being rewarded for his efforts.

The wind blew, scattering petals from the tree above their heads. The man, no longer bearing his usual indifferent expression, now appeared gentler. Amid the shower of petals, Isabel thought the man before her looked elegant and refined.

He seemed like a gentle teenager with no power to attack.

That image struck Isabel's heart fiercely, giving her a sudden feeling that the man in front of her was a miraculous match to Marion Hancock, whom she had glimpsed at six years ago.
