That was probably the best sleep Isabelle had had in ten months.

When she finally woke up, it was already 1 pm in the afternoon.

She brushed her hair messily, glancing around the room with half-opened eyes. When she caught sight of a male suit in the corner of the room, she was jolted awake instantly.

Just like a movie scene, the memories from the night before flooded in, one by one. Isabelle scanned the surroundings. When she realized that Alexander was nowhere in sight, she automatically assumed that he had ran away. She hurriedly climbed off the bed and ran out of the bedroom without noticing her naked body.

When Alexander heard movement, he turned towards the source of the sound. Just then, Isabelle appeared at the door unclothed. He frowned, turning away abruptly. "Wear something before coming out."

Isabelle flushed a deep shade of red and retreated back into the backroom, slamming the door behind her.

After taking a shower, she wrapped herself in a bathrobe. When she approached the bed, she saw a new set of clothes with tags still on them.

Alexander must have bought them for her earlier this morning.

She quickly blow-dried her hair, tied them into a messy bun, and put on the clothes before leaving the bedroom.

Alexander had already placed some dishes on the table. When he heard the door open, he lifted his head. "Come have some food."

He then sat down on the chair next to him.

Isabelle walked over slowly, studying his face. When she was sure that he wasn't angry or seemed to want to question her, she started to feel more reassured, pulling open a chair to take a seat.

Alexander passed her a set of chopsticks, signaling for her to eat.

That was when she finally relaxed. She lowered her head and started eating. Deep inside, she was complimenting Camila for her suggestion.

After sleeping for such a long time, she was starving. With her newly brightened spirits, she started to eat happily.

Alexander moved his chopsticks twice before putting them back down. He leaned back against the chair and stared at Isabelle as she ate.

Only when she stopped eating did he finally move. He turned to pass her a wet tissue before walking to the sofa. He glanced at the two bags, hesitated slightly before bending down, and took out a box of pills.

Turning around, he walked over to the table counter to pour a cup of water before heading back to the table. He first placed the cup of water in front of her, then paused for some ten seconds, seemingly debating something, after which he passed them over. "Eat one."

Isabelle had on a faint smile while holding onto the wet tissue. She then turned and saw the pills in his hands. "What's this?"

Alexander remained silent.

Isabelle blinked twice and turned to look at the box of pills. All the color left her face instantly. She tightened her grip on the wet tissue in her hands as shock clouded her face. After a moment, she turned to Alexander with confusion in her eyes. "Why are you giving me this?"

Alexander glanced at her face for a moment before placing the pills on the table. Instead of replying to her, he pulled out an air ticket from his pocket. "After you finish it, I'll bring you to the airport."

Isabelle glanced at the air ticket; it was a flight from Los Angeles to Beijing. Her mind went blank.

Didn't Camila say that all she had to do was sleep with him? Even if he wasn't going to forgive her, didn't she say that she could use the child to threaten him into marriage?
