Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 2351

Andrew did not want to keep arguing with Sheena, so he turned to head back.

"Andrew! Were you waiting at the gate just for me?" A black Mercedes pulled up, and Isabelle hopped out, practically bouncing with excitement. Her driver followed behind, arms full of bags and packages, struggling to carry all of them.

Andrew was stunned the moment he saw Isabelle and everything she had brought with her. "What's all this supposed to be?"

Isabelle blinked her bright eyes. "I came to see you! At first, I had planned to just show up, but then I looked it up online. It said if you're visiting someone you care about, you should bring gifts. So yesterday I went shopping, then added a few more things last night, and today I rushed over right away."

Andrew looked at her innocent, beaming smile and felt his head throb even more. "Does your family know you're here?"

Isabelle shook her head. "No. I didn't tell them. If I had, they definitely wouldn't have let me come."

Sheena clicked her tongue. "Everyone says the Robertson family has this airhead daughter who's completely clueless. But looking at you now, you're not brainless at all… You're just clever in your own way. Isabelle, sneaking off behind your family's back just to meddle with Andrew? Don't tell me you've fallen for him."

Originally, Sheena was just being her usual mischievous self, teasing for fun. But the moment the words left her mouth, Isabelle's petite face flushed red.

She mumbled, "Sheena, I-I don't know what you mean."

Isabelle said pitifully, "My family is my family, and I'm me. At least this time, I came to see Andrew with genuine sincerity. Otherwise, knowing you were here, I wouldn't have dared to come at all."

Sheena laughed coldly. "I suppose you're right about that. I doubt you've got the guts to cause trouble at the Lloyd family estate. Not just you… Even your brother, Zion, the Robertson family's golden boy, would take a detour to avoid me."

She glanced at Andrew with a half-smile, then turned and walked away.

Andrew looked at Isabelle's anxious, frightened expression and said gruffly, "Come on, let's go to my place."
