Chapter 133 Just Once
In the mirror, Seb's figure suddenly appeared.
He stood slightly behind Isabella, wrapping one arm around her waist from behind.
He lowered his head, planted a kiss on the top of Isabella's head, and praised her bluntly, "You look great!"
Even though they had been at it all day, Seb's compliment still made Isabella blush.
By the time they arrived at the Jose family, it was already dark.
Zaire heard the sound of the car, came out to greet them, and saw the two walking in hand in hand.
His gaze lingered on their intertwined fingers for a moment, raising his eyebrows as if he understood everything.
Isabella panicked and tried to pull her hand back.
But Seb seemed to have anticipated her thoughts and held her hand tightly, not giving her a chance to escape.
Zaire glanced at Seb. He knew Isabella was shy, so he didn't tease them directly and said with a smile, "We've been waiting for you for a while. Come on in!"
As Zaire turned around, Seb spoke up, "Yes, that's right. We're together now!"
Zaire was stunned that he hadn't even asked Seb about that.
'He's really bold!' Isabella thought.
Isabella even had the illusion that Seb couldn't wait to grab a megaphone and announce their relationship to the world.
Zaire held back his laughter, saying, "Congratulations, wishing you both happiness!"
Isabella blushed.
Seb, however, smiled happily. "Thanks for the blessing."
Isabella wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
In the living room of the Jose family, everyone else was there.
There was a sealed envelope in front of Margaret and Steven.
Inside the envelope was the blood test result between them and Isabella.
For the past three days, Margaret had been both hopeful and fearful.
'If Isabella is indeed my daughter, it would be a great thing.
'But what if she isn't?' Margaret thought.
Steven sensed Margaret's emotions and silently held her hand.
The couple exchanged a glance, and Margaret said, "Let Zaire open it."
"Alright." Steven agreed to everything she said.
Zaire looked around and said, "Then I'll open it."
He reached for the envelope and carefully untied the string.
He then took out the report and glanced at it.
After just a couple of looks, Zaire frowned.
"How is it?" Steven asked.
Kelsey couldn't hold back, threw away the pillow, ran over to grab the report, and read out the result word by word. "According to the test, there is no blood relationship between the two parties!"
"So that means Isabella really isn't my sister?" Kelsey was still a bit disappointed.
Steven let out a sigh.
Margaret covered her mouth, tears falling silently.
Isabella wasn't surprised by the result. Because she never thought she would be the Jose family's daughter.
The ages didn't match up.
The real Lisa was several years older than her.
But seeing Margaret so sad, she still felt quite bad.
"What a pity, I really get along well with Isabella," Kelsey pouted.
Her words made Margaret feel even worse.
"Actually, If Isabella is willing, Mom and Dad can adopt her as a goddaughter."
Zaire looked at Isabella and said, "Isabella, would you be willing?"
Before Isabella could speak, Kelsey said, "Yes, that's great! Well, when we find my sister, I'll have two sisters, and Mom and Dad will have another daughter. I fully support this!"
Steven and Margaret both liked Isabella a lot. During the three days waiting for the test results, they had fantasized about Isabella being their long-lost daughter.
Now faced with reality, if they could adopt Isabella as a goddaughter, it would be a fulfilling thing.
Steven and Margaret exchanged a glance, increasingly feeling that this was a good idea.
So, they both looked at Isabella.
Isabella said, "Isn't this a bit sudden?"
She wasn't mentally prepared for this.
Besides, for such a big decision, she had to discuss it with Nina and get her approval before responding to the Jose family.
Margaret said, "You're right. It's not a small matter. How about letting your sister's family come over for dinner this weekend at the Jose family. So we can talk in person."
Isabella nodded and agreed.
After dinner, Kelsey pulled Isabella back to her room.
As soon as the door closed, Kelsey eagerly asked, "Are you and Seb together?"
Isabella was a bit shy but she didn't deny it.
After all, Seb had shown his care for her in front of the Jose family the whole time.
She nodded and responded, "Yes."
Kelsey seemed a bit excited. "How far have you two gone?"
She didn't know how to answer that.
After thinking for a moment, Isabella said, "It's not what you think. He helped me pay off eighty thousand dollars, and now we have a debt relationship."
Kelsey raised an eyebrow. "Isabella, Seb is serious about you."
"He's serious about me, but what about Vanessa?"
"Vanessa? She doesn't matter!" Kelsey waved her hand and continued, "I swear that there's nothing real between Seb and Vanessa!"
Isabella was silent for a moment and said, "But Vanessa called me the other day and said she's pregnant."
"Impossible!" Kelsey widened her eyes. "Does Seb know about this?"
"He should know, right?"
Isabella wasn't sure.
But with such big news, Vanessa had no reason not to tell Seb.
Kelsey picked up her phone and dialed Seb even though Seb was currently in her house, in Zaire's study.
The call was quickly answered.
Kelsey immediately asked, "Seb, do you know that Vanessa is pregnant?"
Isabella watched from the side, impressed by Kelsey's straightforwardness.
She didn't even have time to stop her before Kelsey blurted it out.
'How Impressive Kelsey is!' Isabella thought.
There was a two-second silence on the other end before Seb's voice came through. "What did you say?"
Kelsey said, "You didn't know? Isabella told me that Vanessa used to call her and tell her that. How could you not know about something important like that?"
After the call ended, Zaire laughed, "So you're going to be a stepdad to Isabella's child. What about Vanessa's child?"
Seb frowned. "Vanessa is pregnant?"
"That's what I'm asking you." Zaire smirked, "Don't you know what you've done?"
Seb gave him a deep look and said, "I only slept with her once."
That was four months ago during that camping trip.
It was that accident that led to his current relationship with Vanessa.
Zaire said, "Vanessa seems complicated. She didn't even tell you about something as big as being pregnant. You should definitely look into it."
On the other side, after Kelsey hung up the phone, she didn't speak for a long time.
Isabella was also lost in thought.
After a while, Kelsey said, "I see!"
Isabella looked at her and said, "What?"
"Vanessa is lying!"
