Fated Marriage Spoiled by My Ice Billionaire novel Chapter 107

But secretly, she was also happy. She had stopped Damian from attending Ashley's birthday party and clearly ruined whatever plans they might have had.

Damian's face darkened, a knot of frustration tightening in his chest.

Isabelle, however, wasn't going to fall for her trick. She leaned over to Aurora's ear, speaking just loud enough for all three to hear, her voice soft but clear.

"Oh, sweetie, don't even say that. Damian is in great shape. I was just so worn out that night. It's a good thing he finally came to check on you, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to get up the next morning." Her sugary-sweet tone poured into Aurora's ear.

Even Isabelle's own cheeks flushed as she finished speaking. She steadied herself, picked up a spoon, and handed it over.

The color that had just returned to Aurora's face instantly drained away. She hadn't expected this seemingly meek and timid Isabelle to have such a backbone!

Beside them, Damian tugged at his tie, undid the top button of his shirt, his Adam's apple bobbing violently.

It was nothing like last night when he'd asked her how it was and she'd stubbornly bitten her lip, refusing to make a sound. Now, in front of others, she was singing his praises without restraint...

It suddenly made him want to...

Aurora drank her soup. Damian ate his meal. Isabelle walked out of the room alone and sat on a bench in the hallway, looking at her phone.

After a while, Damian came out carrying his finished meal. "You're cute when you're jealous," he said.

Isabelle shot back, "I'm not jealous."

"Then I'm a little disappointed."

Isabelle was speechless.

So you find your words now?

"Alaric is back tomorrow. I won't be handling her matters anymore," Damian said.

"Yeah, I know. You said that many times last night," Isabelle replied flatly.

Damian nodded. Watching her ambiguous expression, he couldn't tell if she was actually jealous or if she really didn't care.

"I kind of wish you would get a little jealous," he muttered, almost to himself.

Isabelle turned her head to look at him, her expression serious. "Are you saying you want to flirt around so I have something to be jealous about?"

Damian said, "That's not it..."

"Mr. Cross, maybe watch less reality TV," Isabelle said, rolling her eyes.

Damian lowered his gaze and quietly finished his food. He'd been scolded, but somehow, it felt good. A faint smile touched his lips.

Sometimes, he really couldn't figure her out.

When they were alone, she was shy and timid. But when crossed, she was a force of nature, meeting toughness with toughness.

Isabelle and Damian seemed to catch the unspoken implication in her words. Was Ashley deliberately invited here just to cause trouble?

Aurora probably wanted to see Isabelle and Ashley get into a fight, to watch Isabelle lose her temper. Would that make her feel better? What a move!
