Chapter 84 Isaac Said that He still Loves Her
Outside the door.
Nora was lost and confused, unable to leave.
Sharp pain spread through her heart, making it almost difficult for her to breathe.
She had actually sent Kalista to Isaac's bed with her own hands.
Sending her love rival to the bed of her beloved man was a great torment for her.
But if she didn't do it, she didn't know how to explain to her grandparents.
Her grandparents wanted a great-grandchild so badly.
If they had known that she couldn't bear their great-grandchild, they would have been devastated, which would have affected their health.
Nora clenched her fist tightly.
Her nails dug into her palm as she struggled to restrain the urge to rush in and drive Kalista away.
Moreover, Kalista had been with Isaac for so many years.
They must have already been intimate.
On the day she divorced Isaac, he spent the night with Kalista.
Nora kept convincing herself and finally managed to calm down.
But at that moment, Kalista's moan came from the room.
Nora's body jerked and her face instantly turned pale.
Isaac and Kalista had already started...
She covered her mouth with her hand, tears welling up in her eyes.
She dared not continue listening, afraid that she wouldn't be able to handle it and would lose control and rush in to stop them.
This was her own choice, with no room for regret.
Nora stumbled into a guest room, her soul lost.
The door closed, isolating her from the outside noise.
But Kalista's moan, like an enchanting melody, kept echoing in her ears.
Her chaotic thoughts tortured her, keeping her awake all night.
The next morning.
It was already ten o'clock, past the time for Isaac to leave for work, when she aimlessly emerged from the room.
She didn't know how to face Isaac, so she deliberately stayed downstairs so she wouldn't run into him.
But she didn't expect that even though she had purposely delayed coming downstairs for two hours, she would still encounter Isaac!
As she descended the stairs, she saw Isaac sitting expressionless on the sofa in the living room.
Kalista, on the other hand, sat next to him like a sweet little bird, her face filled with happiness and shyness.
Sensing her footsteps, Isaac lazily lifted his eyelids.
Their eyes met. His gaze was devoid of warmth, chilling her to the bone.
Nora's heart clenched.
She quickly lowered her eyes, afraid to meet his gaze.
"Good morning... Why didn't you go to the company today?" Nora struggled to control her emotions and asked in a casual tone.
"I was too tired last night, so I'm taking the day off today," Isaac replied coldly.
Nora instinctively tightened her fist, her face growing paler.
Isaac asked in a cold tone, "Aren't you going to explain last night?"
"Explain what?" Nora asked, puzzled.
Isaac sneered, "I remember it was you who seduced me last night. Why did I wake up this morning with her by my side?"
Nora's heart tightened mercilessly.
She pursed her lips, lowered her eyelids, and concealed her dim eyes as she spoke in a hoarse voice, "I went downstairs last night to get water. When I finished drinking and went back upstairs, I found that the door was locked."
"After that, I went to the guest room to rest... I have no idea what happened between you two."
Isaac's eyes shot a chilly glare, his tone increasingly sarcastic, "No idea?"
"Now that you know, don't you have any thoughts?"
Nora said, "Should I have any thoughts? Anyway, you and her have long been unclear, and I've already gotten used to it."
Isaac's eyes darkened, and his aura instantly turned ice-cold.
A dangerous pressure quickly spread throughout the restaurant.
"Isaac, don't get angry. Be careful not to harm your health..." Kalista quickly interjected, persuading Isaac gently.
However, Isaac ignored her.
He kept his eyes darkly fixed on Nora.
Seeing her indifferent and cold demeanor, he grew enraged and a touch of ferocity appeared in his eyes.
He suddenly stood up from the sofa, emitting a chilling aura, and walked towards her step by step.
Nora trembled in fear from the dangerous aura emanating from him.
Uncontrollable fear spread within her.
Did he know that she had schemed against him? Did he want to seek revenge on her?
As he approached, she involuntarily took steps back.
For every step he took forward, she took one step backward.
Soon, she backed up to the stairs.
Her heels hit the steps, stopping her from retreating further and nearly tripping her.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly, grabbing onto the nearby railing to steady herself.
However, in this brief delay, Isaac, with his tall figure and terrifying presence, had already reached her.
Less than a step away.
His frightening aura pressed against her, making it difficult for her to breathe.
"What... what do you want to do?" Nora knew she couldn't escape and could only brace herself to meet his gaze, cautiously asking.
Isaac suddenly reached out and grabbed her chin.
"Mmm... it hurts..."
An intense and painful sensation spread from her cheeks, contorting her face.
She reached out to try to pry open his large hand.
But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't budge his finger.
"Nora, do you have any conscience at all? You know I like you, deliberately using that against me. In your heart, am I so worthless that you can freely give me away to other women?"
Isaac's dark voice sounded deeply resentful, as if he couldn't wait to tear her limb from limb.
His voice was low, only audible to her.
Because she was afraid of Isaac's terrifying aura, Kalista didn't dare to follow them, so she didn't know what he said to Nora.
However, seeing how angry he looked, it was certain that he wasn't flirting with Nora, which put her at ease.
At this moment, Nora heard Isaac's words, her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at him, shocked.
"What...what did you say? You said you like me?"
At this moment, only this sentence remained in her mind.
Isaac's earlier words could be seen as indirectly admitting that he still liked her, right?
"Hmph, why are you pretending? Didn't you just use the fact that I like you to manipulate me? Otherwise, how dare you use that thing on me?" Isaac said with a sinister tone.
Confusion filled Nora's eyes.
She understood every word Isaac said, but when they were put together, she couldn't understand their meaning.
"I don't know what you mean by that..."
Isaac sarcastically said, "You're getting better at acting. Even at this point, you're still pretending?"
"The drug you gave me last night is called Mellowing Powder, consisting of two doses. The first dose is taken first, and then the second dose is used to catalyze the effects of the first dose."
"As long as the first dose is successfully catalyzed, the person who was drugged will perceive any woman as someone they like."
"To catalyze the effects of the drug, the person who was drugged needs to have their liked one apply the second dose on themselves and then tease the person who was drugged, only then will the drug take effect."
"Last night, you drugged me first, then applied the second dose to seduce me, and then intentionally left, putting Kalista in the room to make me mistake her for you."
Nora widened her eyes in astonishment.
How is that possible?
They need someone they like to catalyze it in order for the drug to be successful?
And, you want Isaac to mistake Kalista for her?
No one has ever told her this.
No wonder the drug was so complicated to use, it was because of this reason...
When Mortimer asked Kalista to bring back that type of drug, it indicated that he knew Isaac still loved her.
But why didn't he tell her?
When she cried and poured her heart out to him, he told her that Isaac only had Kalista in his heart, and asked her to forget about Isaac...
"Nora, you used my love for you to scheme against me. You're truly heartless!"
"Thank you for completely breaking my heart. Now, I only feel hatred towards you, I wish to strangle you!"
"You should thank your belly for being stubborn and carrying my child. Otherwise, if you dared to use my feelings for you to scheme against me, I would never let you off easily!"
