“All right, that’s enough, Ellana sald, She’d post managed to spark aac’s interest and wasn’t about in lag i fete now

At her pleading look, Theodore relented, dropping onto the couch to glower at Jayden, who was still using

Moments later, Theodore pulled out his phone and dialed a number. “Hello, Ms. Olson. It’s ma

Jayden’s stomach dropped at the name. This spelled immable.

“Oh? Jayden scored 37 on his latest math test. What’s his class tank? The last i see Theodore hung up with a dry smile

Eliana and isaac both turned to eye Jayden.

“Jayden, maybe you should go study,” Eliana said.

“Yeah, I get the game now. Thanks,” Isaac piped up

Jayden wanted to wail. ‘Theodore, you underhanded snakel he thought.

But Theodore’s triumph was short–lived. “Theodore, can you fetch those new storybooks I bought?” Eliana asked.

“Storybooks?” Theodore said.

“For the kids at the Therapy Center. But Isaac used to love bedtime stories, so I’ll stay till he does off,” Elas said

“Guests first, guests first, Theodore thought, taking a deep breath. “Fine, I’ll get them.”

At midnight, after Theodore’s tenth text, Eliana closed the storybook on Isaac, who was now asleep, and tiptoed out.

As she shut the door, a hand snatched her wrist, pinning her to the wall.

Before she could cry out, the man murmured, “Shh, it’s me.”

By the wall light, Eliana saw Theodore and huffed, “What are you skulking around here for instead of staying in our room?”

Theodore narrowed his eyes. “I was thinking that if you didn’t come out by midnight, I’d have to go in and fetch you myself.”

“It’s not often I get to see Isaac. Have some patience,” Eliana said. Especially now that her relationship with Belinda and Hannah was growing increasingly strained, she wouldn’t be returning to Burke Manor anytime soon.

“All right,

let’s head back. I’m exhausted, and I’ve got work tomorrow.” Eliana started walking, but stopped at a soft groan behind her.

She turned. “Theodore, what’s the matter?”

Theodore clutched his chest, frowning. “Right here, it aches.”

“Seriously?” Eliana placed her hand on his chest. “Let me rub it.”

When he saw the concern in her eyes–reserved solely for him–Theodore smirked. “Never mind, it’s better now

The most convoluted scheme she’d ever fallen for was his.

The next morning, before heading to work, Eliana decided to drive Isaac back to Burke Manor.

As they were about to leave, Jayden handed him the latest video game console, saying in a sage tone, “Hope next time we meet, you’ve graduated from

Isaac nodded determinedly. “TwIILT

Onlookeri exchanged glances, wondering. Why are they making toch a big deal over a game consoter

Isaac then stepped up to Theodore, enunciating each word. “Theodore, you’d better treat Ellie right, or ril take you down.”

It was the message he’d missed saying on her wedding night.

Seeing Theodore’s calm expression, Isaac added, “I’ll go all out on you

Theodore nodded. “Noted, buddy”

“Come on, Isaac, let’s go.” Lliana sniffled, gently pulling his arm,

But Theodore cut in, “Let our driver take him.”

Eliana and Isaac both froze in surprise.

“He’s our guest,” Theodore continued. “Only fitting”

At Burke Manor, Hannah came downstairs and asked, “Mom, Isaac still isn’t back?”

Belinda frowned. “No, and I’m getting worried.”

“Probably got lost again,” Hannah said. “He’s so clueless. Should we send someone to look for him?”

“Look for him? We don’t have the manpower for that.”

“True. Anyway, maybe the police will drive him back late

later–spare us the hassle.” Hannah said.

She hardly cared whether Isaac was alive

dead. She’d rather be the only child in the house.

Just then, a maid hurried over. “Mrs. Burke, Ms. Burke, Mr. Isaac Burke is back.”

“Oh?” Belinda shot to her feet and rushed outside. She had to find out if Isaac had embarrassed the family last night.

“Bet that idiot came back in a

a cop car,” Hannah muttered, trailing behind with a smirk.

But they both froze at the sight of a black Maybach idling at the gate. As the driver opened the door, Isaac stepped out

Belinda and Hannah caught their breath. For a moment, Isaac seemed perfectly at home beside the three–million–dollar luxury car.

Then he flashed a gooty grin, waving at the departing Maybach. “Bye–bye.”

‘Right, just a trick of the eye, they thought
