After about 30 minutes of driving on the highway around the hill, the car
finally stopped in front of the villa’s yard.
Seth was exhausted and didn’t notice the additional car parked in the yard.
When he got out of the car, he looked up and saw a woman standing in front
of the villa’s doors.
“Seth!”
His entire body tensed up. He didn’t move from his spot beside the car. It took

Seth’s face turned dark as he broodily stomped into the house. “Busy, and no.”
She had to jog to keep up with him. Her heels clicked against the floor as she
chased after him, grumbling all the way, “How could you not miss me?”
Meanwhile, Isabella had spent a few hours familiarizing herself with her new
