I Only Want You novel Chapter 1169

"Lucho, how's Isaac recently?"

As soon as Lucho arrived home, Maxwell asked him to go to the study.

Hearing Maxwell's question, Lucho thought for a while and did not dare to tell him all the truth. He just said, "Isaac? He is doing a good business these days. Yesterday, he had a meal with a director in the company. The director even praised him as a talent."

When he said these words, he looked very calm, but his heart was full of disdain. Issac was getting more and more arrogant recently. If he really wanted to deal with Issac, it was just a piece of cake. However, he couldn't go too far because Maxwell was still alive.

Maxwell glanced at him, "Lucho, you know that's not what I want to know."

"Dad?"

"Do you really think that I don't know what you've done?"

Lucho's heart missed a beat, but his expression didn't change. "Dad, I... sent someone to follow Issac because he had just started his business and I didn't want him to suffer losses outside."

"So you have followed him for more than two years?" Maxwell smiled, walked Lucho and raised his hand to pat him on the shoulder heavily, "Lucho, I know what you're thinking in your heart, and I know what Madelyn wants to do. Although I'm old, I'm not silly."

"Dad..."

Maxwell waved his hand, indicating for Lucho to keep quiet, "It's normal for you two to think like that. So, although I knew about it, I didn't stop you."

Lucho felt a little uneasy, but he didn't defend himself anymore since Maxwell had made it clear. Sometimes, talking too much was always wrong. It was better not to say anything. Moreover, Maxwell didn't mean to blame him.

"I asked you to come here because I want to ask you something. Except for work, is there anything strange with Isaac?" After that, Maxwell thought for a moment and added,

"Don't hide it from me."

Lucho looked very conflicted, "Dad, I want to tell you, but I... haven't had anyone to follow Isaac recently." He coughed lightly, "I don't know how Isaac found out that I had sent someone to follow him. He once talk to me about this. I didn't want to quarrel with him, so I stopped. There was nothing strange with him before. But if you ask me about his recent situation, I really don't know."

Maxwell frowned, "Really?"

"Yeah."

"How about his relationship with Chloe?"

Lucho paused for a moment, "I don't know, but..." His brows twitched slightly, "Two days ago, I met her when I treated my clients to a meal. She didn't look very well. I chatted with her, but she didn't say anything."

"Alright." Maxwell sighed, "Go out first."

Lucho asked him, "Dad, what's wrong with Isaac?"

"Nothing. I just asked you casually."

Lucho cast a glance at Maxwell and then nodded.

Sometimes, he really felt that he was a failure. It could be said that he was a good-for-nothing. After so many years, he lost his favorite career. The person he loved hated him. His mother... had to suffer because of him.

He was sorry for many people, but there was nothing he could do.

Just like that day, he was helpless and painful, but who could he talk to? He couldn't see his mother. He really wanted to see Adele and hug her. However, even if she was willing to give him a chance to tell her the truth, he might not be able to say it.

He had said more than once that he would bear all pressures and consequences. He did not want her to know about these things. So what if she knew? Maybe she would feel sorry for him and worry about him, but she might also laugh at him and say that he deserved it.

Besides, he might not be able to control his emotions well. She had suffered too much, and he only wanted her to live at ease.

He had no way to vent the bitterness and helplessness in his heart. Fortunately, he had two good friends who were loyal to him. Otherwise, he might really go crazy.

"Isaac." Benjamin said, "Don't think too much. Richard will get some news soon. By then, we'll save your mother and you won't have to worry about her."

"Yeah." James said, "Now your mother is your sore point. As long as we can find her, you will not be threatened by Maxwell again."

"How can it be so easy?" Isaac smiled weakly, "Maxwell... can't let her go so easily. He said those words to me seriously. I have to take my mother into consideration. No matter what I want to do, I can't hurt my mother."

"But now I have to protect Adele." He sighed heavily, "If Maxwell knows about her existence, do you think he will just sit by and do nothing? He won't. I know him too well."

"So, I don't know what to do now." He looked at James and Benjamin, "Tell me. What should I do?"
