Isabelle didn’t see any problem with that. She felt weak all over and had no energy to drive herself.

Diana didn’t want to drive either–she had been dealing with hospital matters for days, and her mind was completely overloaded.

They stopped by Collin’s place first, bringing him the breakfast Susie had packed. Isabelle hadn’t eaten much, so she’d brought the leftovers. There was plenty, more than enough for him.

Collin had slept relatively well the night before.

When he saw Isabelle and Diana arrive without Bruce trailing behind them, he felt a wave of relief.

At least today, no aggravating presence would sour his mood.

The two women stayed at Collin’s for a little while before heading out–they still needed to visit Diana’s mother at the hospital.

Collin was aware of Diana’s situation, so he didn’t try to keep them longer.

When they arrived at the hospital, Brian was already there, clearing away the breakfast containers from that morning.

“You’re here already? You could have slept in a bit more,” Brian said, his gaze lingering on Diana.

Before they could reply, Madeline Fairfax, Diana’s mother, spoke up from the hospital bed. “Such a thoughtful young man, bringing me breakfast even before heading to the office.”

At the moment, however, lying in the hospital bed, her usual vitality seemed dimmed.

Brian offered a polite smile.

Madeline didn’t have any serious medical issues–she had simply been so upset over the younger man that she’d worked herself into needing observation.

She was reluctant to be discharged, secretly hoping Frank might visit again.

But after his check–up yesterday, he hadn’t returned.

“Mom, if you’re fine, you should just go home. Everyone’s pretty busy,” Diana sighed.

She knew exactly what her mother was plotting.

She didn’t want too many people involved in her and Brian’s arrangement.

She had no plans for marriage.

She hadn’t even wanted a serious relationship.

Their initial agreement to keep things casual was meant to avoid situations exactly like this.

But despite the written understanding, Brian always seemed to find ways to gently overstep its boundaries.

Things were gradually slipping beyond her control.

A little over two weeks later…

Madeline was discharged earlier than expected, and Diana’s caregiving duties eased. She threw herself back into work alongside Isabelle.

Collin was recovering well, too–he had already returned to his design studio and was keeping busy.

He tried to invite Isabelle over several times, but she politely declined each opportunity.

If he expressed a desire for a home–cooked meal, she would arrange for a personal chef to go to his place.

After doing this a few times, she simply started sending Bruce over to assist instead.

Eventually, Collin stopped asking.

Isabelle’s reason for not visiting was straightforward–she was working tirelessly to finish Linda’s gown.

It was a reason Collin couldn’t reason

contest.

One afternoon, he stopped by the Isadiana Studio.

Diana and Isabelle were putting the final delicate touches on Linda’s dress.

When Collin appeared in the doorway, they hadn’t yet noticed him.

He watched Isabelle, completely absorbed in her work, a soft, unconscious smile touching his lips.

“I haven’t seen Brian around the past few days–did you two have a disagreement?” Isabelle asked, her focus on the delicate in her hands, unaware of the man by the door.

“Heard he went on a business trip. Left in the middle of the night–sent one text and that was it Didn’t say where he was young, and I haven’t heard from him since,” Diana: eplied, a clear note of annoyance in her voice.

What kind of arrangement was this?

He couldn’t even be bothered to send a proper update.

Isabelle’s hands stilled for a moment.
