Their Bundle Of Joy

Isabel bit her lip, "I'm sleepy, and I'll go upstairs." She didn't want to explain.
She would never live with Henry White, just because her mom was gone when she was six years old, moreover, Adam left her to Henry White.
There're are more than a dozen rooms in the White's villa.
She still was the most unwanted to stay here.
"Stop here!" Henry White was irritated by her reaction, and roared at Isabel.
Isabel continued walking up the stairs, and said, "Mr. White, it's time to sleep. If you wanna stay up all night, that's your business. But I'm going to
bed."
"Isabel, look at your...your..." Henry White glanced at the hickeys on Isabel's body with a hatred look, "I remember exactly you're gotta be a freshman
when you enter university. But look at you, consorting with men from now onas a college freshman. Think about it, will Mr. Barrett like you the way
you are?"
"That's great if he won't like the way I am, cause I don't want to marry that old man." She only wanted to marry Adam. Unfortunately, Adam was
getting married to another girl. He might hadhave forgotten the little girl he saved back then.
But she couldn't get over him.
"Isabel, your dad has already set up your wedding date with Mr. Barrett. It will be the eighth day of next month when you're 18 years old already and
it's a lucky day .for both of you. Marrying Mr. Barrett means that you will be a respected Mrs Barrett with a lot of fortune. Your mom will also be
pleased if she's informed of it."
Miah Byrne pulled Henry over, tried to calm them down while she persuaded Isabel.
Turning around, Isabel stood still with a slim figure leaning on stairs. She squinted at Miah Byrne from above.
"Mom Miah, so marrying Mr. Barrett is considered a life winner for girls in accordance to your words?"
"That's for sure, you'll be rich at a young age. It's incredible for the ordinary to marry such a man like Mr. Barrett. But your dad cherishes you so much
so that he'll select the best wealthy-stud for you in T City."
The compliments were exactly what Isabel wanted from Miah Byrne. When Miah Byrne finished her words, Isabel smiled but responded seriously, “In
this case, I'll be willing to give up Mr. Barrett while Abby can take the place of me.

In this way, Mom Miah must be very pleased and comforted that your daughter finds the right one." Speaking of young age, they just blinded her for
the fact that Mr. Barrett's already forty years old. She Isabel would be definitely the last one to marry that old man.
After saying so, Isabel casually turned around regardless of the three in surprise. As walking up the second floor, she continued, "Well, we're a family.
Dad, Mom Miah and Abby, all of you don't need to appreciate that. Good night."
When Isabel turned to her room, Abby White was the first to have a reaction, "Isabel, what are you talking about? I've got my Mr. Right. It's you who
marry Mr. Barrett, not me!"
Hearing the arrogant words from LuLuAbby, Isabel didn't turn back, and shouted out before closing the door, "I've also got the one, and I won't marry
others."
"Boom...boom..." The harsh knock on the door interrupted Isabel's mind, "Isabel, open it, your dad has something to say to you."
Distinguishing it's Miah outside, Isabel took a cotton swab directly from the shelf, then tore two pieces and plugged it into her ears. What Miah doing
had nothing to do with Isabel, cause she didn't hear it even a little bit.
"In the world only mama's dear..." The phone rang, Isabel still closed her eyes and took the phone, "Hey..."
"Isabel, do you know Adam's holding a press conference?" It was Celia, her best friend.
Isabel sat up in shock, and she was completely awakened, "Wh...what kind of press conference?"
"It's about the marriage of Adam Howard and Stella Fry. They will get married on the eighth day of next month."
At the moment, Isabel froze with her steady gaze on a point of the sheet, and she could no longer moved her eyes away.
"Isabel, are you okay? Please say something, do not scare me." Celia cried out anxiously when Isabel being silent.
With such a loud voice from the other end, Isabel was shocked and then brought herself back, "Celia, I wanna go out for a drink, can you be with
me?"
On the eighth day of next month? What a coincidental day it was!
It's the same date her dad appointed her to marry Mr. Barrett.
If she agrees on it, then she would be married on the same day with Adam in a certain way.
What a pity that Adam's bride would not be her and vice versa.

It's totally ironic when she even thought about it.
"Sure, the same place. See you later in an hour." Celia agreed with the concerns.
Hung up the phone, Isabel felt like Adam seemed to be the world in her mind.
Adam had held a press conference of his engagement. It seemed that he's really about to end his bachelordom and gotta get married.
Isabel looked up at the ceiling with empty eyes, her heart was full of sorrow and grief. However, she didn't notice the fleeting figure from the crack of
the door.
After a long time, Isabel finally calmed down. She just changed clothes and was about to walk out.
As soon as she walked downstairs, Isabel was stopped by Miah Byrne, "Isabel, where are you going?"
Isabel worried that Miah Byrne would not let herself get out, thus didn't say a word back.
Miah Byrne seemed to see through what she's thinking but said with a smile, "I don't mean anything else, you can go out whenever you want. I
wanna tell you Nancy made your favorite soup just for you."
Isabel shook's heart softened when she heard of Nancy.
In the White's villa, Nancy treated Isabel better than her families. All of a sudden, it reminded Isabel that it's bad to drink on an empty stomach.
Therefore, she walked towards the dining table.
Spareribs and kelp soup was her favorite. Isabel hurriedly finished a bowl of soup, then stood up, "Dad and Mom Miah, I have an appointment with
classmates to go shopping. Just take your time, I'm going."
"Why don't you go shopping during the day? It's so late and you are not allowed to go out." Henry White objected.
"Dear, girls currently like to go shopping in the night market, it'll be fine that Isabel come back soon." Surprisingly, Miah Byrne said something nice for
Isabel and stood by her side.
For a moment, Isabel felt like something wrong, but she just wanted to get out for a drink now and followed Miah Byrne and said, "Dad, I'll be back
before ten o'clock, is that Okay?"
Miah Byrne quickly smiled and nodded, "Alright, just go, don't let your 'friend' wait too long."
Isabel went out in a hurry without thinking about what Miah meant.

One hour later.
In confusion.
Isabel got off the taxi and walked into the bar.
Behind her was a black Volvo quietly stopping. And the man in the driver's seat stared at the back of Isabel. Right tonight, the little girl would definitely
belong to him.
