Sweet Flash Marriage with the Restrained Tycoon (Isabelle and Damien) novel Chapter 112

Damian chuckled but didn't say anything.

Isabelle looked at this usually stoic man and couldn't help asking, "I turned off your phone, and you just left it off? Aren't you worried someone might need to reach you?"

Damian replied, "Nice to have a quiet moment. Besides, I'm a bit henpecked."

Henpecked? Isabelle burst out laughing, "You'd listen to whatever I say?"

"Anything, as long as it's not divorce."

Isabelle was a little surprised he was also afraid of divorce.

With his looks and status, only someone out of their mind would divorce him.

"What if you cheated?" she teased.

Damian replied, "I'll draft a contract tomorrow. If I cheat, I leave with nothing."

She was stunned for a few seconds, taking a slow sip of wine to compose herself. He didn't seem to be joking.

"I don't want you to leave. If you dare cheat, I'll handle the 'leaving with nothing' part myself." Isabelle made a scissor motion with her fingers.

Damian actually laughed out loud. He liked her fiery little temper more and more.

Without work or other people around, they talked for a long time.

The dinner plates were cleared, replaced by snacks, desserts, and more wine. The nightlife on the lawn was heating up.

Isabelle, pleasantly buzzed, rested her chin in her hand, watching a woman playing the violin in the distance.

She suddenly felt life was so comfortable. Having a man by her side, a job she was satisfied with, a family she was happy with—everything felt perfect.

"Ran into an old friend. I'll go say hello. Don't wander off," Damian said, spotting a foreign man not far away.

Isabelle hummed in agreement, only feeling a warm, soft press against her forehead before he walked away.

She didn't know how much time had passed when a strange scent intruded beside her. She turned her head to see Finley already sitting in Damian's seat.

Isabelle froze.

Finley set down the wine glass he was holding. "Is he the one you like?"

Isabelle nodded. "Yes."

There seemed to be no need for small talk between them.

Finley asked, "How is your mother?"

"Mr. Debose, you know my mother?" Isabelle didn't know what prompted her to say that.

Is it blame, or a genuine question? Probably both.

Finley didn't seem embarrassed. He took a sip of his wine. "I'm very happy to see you."

Maybe things will be easier next time.

Of course. Ashley is Damian's ex-girlfriend. He must be very familiar with her father...
