Julian looked at Isabelle's hopeful expression in disbelief.
Isabelle was his childhood friend.
He asked coldly, "There's a sentence that is carved onto the back of this tree. Do you know what it is?"
Isabelle felt her heart racing.
The fact that Julian asked about this showed that he really was the little boy.
But what did the sentence say?
Isabelle forced herself to calm down and desperately tried to recall the contents of the diary.
Susan had told her a lot about the things between her and Julian, and there were many things written in the diary too.
Added together, she should know most of the things.
Thank God she read the diary a number of times!
Isabelle blinked, "It should say 'Little Leaf and Little Flower will be together forever.”'
Julian's expression turned even stiffer.
Isabelle was right!
That was the sentence carved on the tree.
It was a secret that only he and the little girl could know!
Could the little girl really be...
No, no way.
Julian squinted his eyes.
Isabelle tilted her head and looked at him in shock, "M r. Shaw, how did you know about the sentence? This should be a secret between Little Leaf and me."
Julian froze in silence.
Isabelle was stunned for a moment, then she covered her mouth in shock, "Mr. Shaw... You... Are you Little Leaf?"
Her voice was trembling as though it contained countless uncertainties.
Julian did not answer. He looked at Isabelle and said," When we were young, the little girl told me that her name was Susan Shelby!"
Shyness crossed Isabelle's face, "Little Leaf wouldn't tell me his real name, so I told him my cousin's name instead."
...Was that the case?
Julian was a little dazed.
Had he found the wrong person since the beginning?
The person who provided him the only source of comfort during his lonely childhood was Isabelle and
not Susan?
Julian still found it strange!
But the person who came today was Isabelle!
She also knew about the secret that only he and Little Flower knew.
Even if he did not want to believe it, it seemed to be the truth.
"Mr. Shaw, you asked me because you are Little Leaf, right?" Isabelle looked at Julian eagerly.
"I..." Julian had a complicated expression.
His hand shook, and from the flower bouquet, a small box fell out.
Isabelle picked it up quickly and opened it.
Inside the box was a ring with a huge diamond.
This ring worthed at least tens of millions.
Isabelle's eyes lit up.
But she hid her emotions quickly and looked up at Julian, "Mr. Shaw, you..."
"Give it back to me," Julian's voice was as cold as ice.
Isabelle bit her lower lip, put the ring back into the box, and gave it to Julian.
Julian took the box and left.
Isabelle was dumbfounded.
