Tallulah's cheeks flushed a deep shade of crimson.
Noel released her, allowing Tallulah to make a quick escape.
As she headed out, she bumped into Isaac.
"Mr. Salter."
Isaac had just wrapped up his call with Brittany and stopped Tallulah, “Now that you and Noel are married, you can call me big brother in private.”
Tallulah pursed her lips.
Her marriage to Noel wasn’t born out of love, but rather a transaction.
She didn’t dare overstep in her heart, but complied outwardly, “Alright, big brother.”
Tallulah was quite the looker, and standing beside Noel, they made for a handsome couple.
Isaac was quite pleased, “You and Noel haven’t had your wedding yet. Give it some time, and I'll make sure he throws you a grand ceremony.”
Isaac was under the impression their marriage was the result of a blossoming romance.
Tallulah smiled politely, “Yes, I should be going now.”
She and Noel, a wedding seemed unlikely.
...
Isaac returned to the conference room, Noel raised an eyebrow, “Finished with Brittany?”
“Yeah.”
Isaac poured himself a cup of tea, “You should head back to Imperial City.”
Craneville wasn’t exactly the safest place, and he couldn’t bear the thought of Noel getting caught up in any trouble.
“Bro, you didn’t want me here before, but now it’s time for me to do something for you.” Noel brought up the past with a hint of anger, “When you had that car accident, I searched all over Craneville for you, to no avail! I worried about you every day, and what do you do? As soon as you’re healed, you contact Brittany!”
Clearly, his brother favored his love life over family!
Isaac took his brother’s accusations without defense, pressing a hand to his forehead, “It’s not what you think.”
Noel wouldn’t hear it, “Let’s not dwell on the past. How can I stand by while you’re in trouble?”
Isaac realized deeply that his brother had grown up.
“Once all this is settled, I plan on settling down in Craneville with Bri. Or perhaps, move to another city.”
Noel panicked, “What about Grandeur Capital?”
