Chapter 335
Chapter 335
For the next few days, Peter didn't bother Tom. The whole North Sky Association didn't do anything, as
if Peter had forgotten Tom.
This made Tom more famous. Many people focused on Tom, looking forward to seeing how Peter
would find trouble with Tom. But after more than a week, Peter still didn't do anything. This was
completely different from Peter's usual overbearing style. Did it mean that Peter was already afraid and
didn't dare to trouble Tom?
So in the circle, many people have been talking about this.
Tom did not let his guard down, because he knew that Peter would never let him go. Now that he had
not done anything for so long, there was only one reason, which was Peter was recuperating and
building up energy, so as to give him a fatal blow.
He had always been on guard, and at the same time, he had told his subordinates to be more
conservative in business and not give Peter any chance.
On the other hand, he didn't know what to do with the Paynes. Myles had invited him to dinner once.
He had said it was for business, but Tom knew it was mainly to set him up with Isabella. How dare he
go there? Especially after what happened that day, he was even more embarrassed.
He was almost thirty years old, and Isabella was only twenty years old and was still a college student.
He was old enough to be Isabella's uncle. Besides, he had been married, but he had seen Isabella in
her underwear and done something intimate that day.
But there were some people he couldn't avoid. After he rejected Myles a few times, Myles came
straight to him.
When he came out of ZQ Plaza that day, Myles stopped him and pretended to be unhappy, saying,
"Tom, it is really difficult to find you. Now I finally caught you. Have a meal with me, OK?"
Tom was very embarrassed at the moment. Since Myles had already found him here, if he still refused,
it would be too embarrassing for Myles, so he had to nod and agree.
This time, they still ate in the Paynes's manor. Isabella also came back from school. When she saw
him, she was stunned for a moment. Her face became even colder. She thought that Tom was still
trying to convince her family to marry her to him!
Over the past few days, her relationship with Heath had been heating up and becoming better. Heath
was more gentle and considerate to her. It was impossible for her to leave Heath and marry Tom, an
older man!
So when she was eating, her face was cold all the time. Even if Myles and Caroline kept winking at her,
she pretended not to see it. She wanted Tom to back out.
Myles couldn't stand it and said, "Isabella, is the meal so good? Go and fetch a bowl of rice for Brother
Tom."
Isabella pretended not to hear it and ignored it. It was not until Myles repeated angrily that she said
impatiently, "He's such a big man. Can't he serve his own food?"
"Hey, girl, mind your manners?" Myles was so angry that his face turned livid.
When Tom saw this, he said, "It's okay. Isabella is right. I can do it myself. Besides, I'm full. Uncle and
Aunt, if there's nothing else, I want to leave now."
Myles immediately put down his chopsticks and asked Tom to stay. He scolded Isabella angrily,
"Isabella, look at you. You're being so rude. You've angered Brother Tom! You've forgotten all about
how I taught you, haven't you?"
Isabella was also annoyed. She knew her own mind. "Dad, are you done? I've told you many times that
I already have a boyfriend and I'm not interested in this old man. Why must you force me to do
something I don't want to do? In your eyes, I am a tool, right? Have you really cared about my feelings
and my happiness?"
Isabella was also extremely aggrieved, and her eyes turned red when she said that. She was very
angry and glared at Myles.
This made Myles very embarrassed. He slapped his chopsticks hard and scolded angrily, "How dare
you to talk back to me?"
When Tom saw this, he felt extremely upset. He should have rejected Myles and not come to here for
dinner.
Now Isabella looked at him with hatred and disgust, thinking that he was a hypocrite, an ugly person,
that was destroying her relationship with Heath.
At this time, he had to stand up and say, "Uncle, don't scold Isabella anymore. She's right. You should
really care about her feelings and her happiness. I'm married and almost ten years older than her. We
won't be happy if we are forced together."
"This..." Myles's mouth moved, but he didn't know what to say.
Now he felt very tired. His father, Hawthorne, wanted to get Tom on their side by marrying Isabella to
him, but both Tom and Isabella strongly opposed it. It was really difficult to rely on him to force the
match.
Now he looked at his daughter's stubborn and disappointed look, and his heart softened. He waved his
hand helplessly and said, "Okay, okay. Since you all said that, I won't force you anymore."
Isabella's angry face relaxed and she was especially happy. She didn't expect Tom to speak for her. It
seemed that this man was not too bad.
Then Myles apologized to Tom. "Tom, I'm so sorry. She is being rude. Don't take it to your heart."
Tom waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Actually, I admire her fearless pursuit of true love."
Isabella rolled her eyes in disdain, thinking his appreciation meant nothing to her.
Now she just wanted to see Heath soon. If the time was right, she could consider giving herself to Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Heath!
She had made this decision after careful deliberation. After all, she had been in love with Heath for
three years. Other couples had already done it many times, and she and Heath were just holding
hands, which was unfair to Heath.
Besides, it was only after this that her parents would approve of her relationship with Heath more!
Thinking of this, she smiled happily.
Next, Tom stayed at the Paynes for tea and chatted with Myles for a while. When it was almost time, he
came back.
"Isabella, go and see your Brother Tom off."
Myles ordered.
Isabella was immediately unhappy. "Why should I send him off? Doesn't he know the way?"
Tom also said, "No need, uncle. I can go by myself."
Myles said, "No, you are a guest. That's what we should do."
Finally, under Myles's order, no matter how unhappy Isabella was, she had to send Tom out. Anyway,
she had planned to come back as soon as Tom was out of the door and let Tom walk back by alone.
"Hey, uncle, let me tell you something. Don't think about being my boyfriend. It's impossible for you and
me to be together. Now my boyfriend and I are in love. After we graduate, we will get married." Isabella
said seriously.
Tom nodded and said, "Don't worry. I won't. However, don't trust your boyfriend too much. I don't think
he looks like a good person. You'd better not give yourself to him so soon."
Isabella rolled her eyes and thought that Tom was just maliciously slandering Heath. After all these
years of relationship with Heath, did she not know who Heath was? He would never wrong her!
"Hehe, thank you for reminding me, but Heath is a gentleman. He would never do anything wrong to
me!" Isabella said firmly.
Seeing that, Tom didn't bother to say anything more.
However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the next door. He looked over and
saw a white Mercedes-Benz, which was shaking constantly. It seemed some people were doing it in
the car!
And when he saw one of the people in the car, he was stunned. He couldn't believe that there was
such a coincidence.
