Alaina slept late at night. Later, she fell asleep when she was very sleepy. Therefore, it was almost nine o'clock in the morning when she woke up.
She was shocked at first, and then was relieved.
It was better for her to get up late. In that case, she would not have to face Isaac.
However... she didn't know what had happened to Avon.
She grabbed her phone and had a look, but it had automatically turned off because it was out of juice. She sighed and put it down.
She went to the bathroom to wash up simply. The toiletries inside were complete, and she could even see that some of them were brand new.
However, she didn't use them.
She rinsed her mouth with water and wiped the corners of her eyes with a napkin before returning to the room.
She leaned against the door and listened for a while. After she was sure that she was the only one in the house, she opened the door at ease.
She was a little hungry, so she had to fill her stomach with some food. She did hate Isaac, but she couldn't be so silly to starve herself. She didn't know how long she would stay here. How could she eat nothing and starve to death?
After walking two steps, she suddenly stopped and stared at the man sitting on the sofa. After a long while, she said, "You..."
Isaac looked back at her, "What's wrong?" He looked at her face and frowned.
After an entire night, she was still wearing that kind of makeup.
Alaina got nervous again, "Didn't you go to work?"
Isaac raised his eyebrows and lifted his right hand, "I can't do anything in the company even if I go to work."
"So..." Alaina curled her lips, "You won't leave today?"
"No."
The simple word made Alaina feel a bit desperate. Wouldn't he leave? So... should she stay together with him again?
Last night, she knew that he had been to her room and stood at the door for a long time. At that time, she had not fallen asleep. She was very afraid that he would go in and force her to do something regardless of her feelings...
However, he left later.
At the beginning, she had wanted to lock the door. However, after thinking about it, she felt that it was really unnecessary to do so.
She had come here, and he knew her sore point. Opening the door was really not difficult for him. After all, he had the spare key.
She smiled awkwardly, "You have to work. It's... inappropriate for you to stay at home, isn't it?"
Isaac looked at her meaningfully, "Are you caring about me?"
Alaina's face changed. When she was about to refute, she heard Isaac say, "Don't worry. Even if I don't go to work, I can support you."
Alaina's heart missed a beat. She looked away immediately, pursed her lips and didn't say a word.
Isaac smiled helplessly, "The breakfast is on the table. Eat it first. It will be cold later."
Hearing this, Alaina looked up at the table in the dining room. There were indeed a few bowls and plates on the table.
She didn't thank him, just walked over and took a look. There was a bowl of porridge, a dish of hot pickled mustard tuber, and a few steamed buns.
She was stunned and didn't start eating right away.
"Eat it."
Alaina looked at food on the table, "Did you... cook these?"
He said so and did so... He really regarded her as a canary he kept in his house. He gave her a good life and seemed to be very kind to her, but he blocked her with a gorgeous cage and forbade her to fly away.
What the hell was this?
Isaac, of course, saw the expression on Alaina's face. His eyes darkened, and he could not say anything pleasant.
Alaina took a deep breath, "So, Mr. Bai, are you really going to..." She paused for two seconds before she continued with courage, "Keep me as a mistress?"
Isaac's eyebrows twitched, and his expression changed as he looked at Alaina. His heart ached when he heard what she said.
She was actually... willing to say like that.
He put the card on the coffee table and stood up. He had said what he should say. At this time, he had to go out for a while. Otherwise, he was really afraid that he would lose control and do something bad to her again.
"Mr. Bai..."
Isaac closed his eyes and did not turn around, "Say it."
"You said that I can go out... I want to... go back. My clothes are in the house of my brother's friend, so I want to go back."
Isaac wanted to blurt out that she didn't have to get it because it was not something valuable, but he was rational, so he turned around, "I'll send you there."
Alaina was shocked. She waved her hands in a hurry, "No! There's no need!" As soon as she said this, she suddenly realized that she had behaved too anxiously. She was a little flustered and explained immediately, "I... mean, I don't have many things, so... I don't have to trouble you."
She quickly glanced at him and added, "Besides, if I go back with you and others see us, maybe they will... gossip. I... don't want that."
Isaac swallowed with difficulty, and then nodded slightly.
After a few seconds, he asked softly, "Then... will you come back?"
