Chapter 584 Let Me Discuss It with My Family
Isadora, after all, was experiencing her first love.
She was also raised in a pampered environment.
When the two had their first argument, it was inevitable that she would be flustered and overthink things.
She went back to her room, wanting to message Ulysses, but unsure if he would respond.
Moreover, she was a bit too proud to make the first move.
Thinking about how decisively Ulysses had left, she felt even more heartbroken.
Her mind was a mess, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.
The next day, her eyes were swollen.
Isadora took a few days off but still had to go to school.
She wore a simple casual outfit, put on a hat, pulled the brim down, and went to school.
She didn't expect to run into Charlotte as soon as she entered the large classroom.
Charlotte had been waiting at the school gate early in the morning and stopped Ulysses.
Ulysses didn't want to have any contact with her and frowned, "What do you want now?"
Seeing his disdainful expression, Charlotte felt extremely upset.
She regretted it deeply now.
If she hadn't had poor judgment back then, she would be Ulysses' girlfriend now.
She would marry into a wealthy family, become a rich woman, and reach the pinnacle of life.
But now, she had to start over.
Moreover, after she rejected Ulysses last time, his attitude towards her must have worsened significantly.
Now, trying to get close to Ulysses, please him, and gain his favor would be twice as difficult.
But what could she do?
She couldn't just give up on Ulysses and pretend nothing had happened; she was unwilling!
If Ulysses hadn't confessed to her before, if she hadn't come so close to wealth, she might not regret it so much.
But whenever she thought about how close she had been to riches, she regretted it deeply.
So, she was determined to win Ulysses over!
She put on a cautious expression, "Ulysses, I'm sorry."
Ulysses frowned, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you acting like this?"
Charlotte's eyes immediately reddened, and she looked at him tearfully, "I, I didn't mean any harm. I just feel sorry about what happened."
"What happened?"
"Last time, when I borrowed money from you, a classmate saw it. I don't know who spread the rumor that, that..."
Ulysses angrily asked, "That's what?"
"That you bullied me and used money to shut me up."
"Nonsense!" Ulysses was furious, "Don't you have a mouth? Can't you explain?"
"This kind of thing is easily misunderstood. How could I have known... I explained, but they wouldn't listen."
Ulysses took a deep breath. "Then please stay away from me! Don't let me see you again!"
Charlotte always thought that men were no good.
She had dated over a dozen boyfriends and believed she understood men very well.
Even if Ulysses wouldn't leave Isadora for her.
But Charlotte thought that if she showed any interest in being with Ulysses, he would most likely not refuse her.
Men always wanted to take advantage.
No man would refuse a woman who offered herself.
She didn't expect Ulysses to say such things.
She originally wanted to use public opinion to bind herself to Ulysses.
That way, she could create a rift between Isadora and Ulysses.
Maybe she could wait for some benefits.
But seeing Ulysses' current attitude, this method didn't seem to work well.
However, since Charlotte had started, she couldn't back out now, nor could she end it hastily.
Ulysses left, and she headed to the classroom, where she ran into Isadora.
Isadora was wearing sunglasses, so her red eyes weren't visible, but her face looked a bit haggard, which was noticeable.
Charlotte took the initiative to talk to her, "Isadora, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale? I just saw Ulysses at the school gate. He talked to me for a long time and didn't mention you having a cold."
Isadora gave her a cold look, "My boyfriend talked to you? Who do you think you are? Bragging about yourself, aren't you ashamed?"
Isadora said this not because she absolutely trusted Ulysses.
But because she knew what kind of person Charlotte was.
Sure enough, Charlotte's face looked a bit embarrassed.
She said, "Isadora, what are you talking about? I just happened to run into Ulysses and exchanged a few words. Even though you're his girlfriend, you can't control who he befriends, right?"
Isadora sneered, "Do you think you're worthy of being his friend?"
Charlotte felt humiliated. "Isadora, you're going too far!"
"If you don't give others a chance, who can bully you? You came looking for trouble yourself, and I won't disappoint you." Isadora slightly raised her chin. "Move aside!"
Charlotte bit her lip and turned away angrily.
No matter what she compared, she couldn't beat Isadora.
In looks, height, figure, and family background, she was inferior to Isadora.
But Ulysses liked her first! That was the only thing she had over Isadora.
As long as she seized the opportunity, her chances of being with Ulysses in the future would be high!
She firmly believed she would succeed!
Isadora was already in a bad mood, and seeing Charlotte made her feel even worse.
Thinking about the possibility of Ulysses chatting warmly with Charlotte or even other girls made her feel miserable.
She was lying on the desk when she felt someone sit next to her.
She thought it was a classmate, but the person leaned closer to her.
Isadora immediately became alert and moved away.
"Izzy."
Isadora was stunned.
She turned her head and saw Ulysses.
Ulysses was holding a bouquet of flowers, sitting next to her. "Izzy, it was my fault. I shouldn't have made you angry. Please forgive me, okay?"
Isadora didn't move and just asked him, "What did you call me?"
"Izzy," Ulysses said, "I heard your dad call you that. It sounds so nice."
Isadora's face turned slightly red. "Don't call me that!"
Ulysses said, "But it sounds so nice. I really like it."
"Don't!" Isadora glared at him, "Only my family can call me that! Who do you think you are?"
"But..." Ulysses lowered his eyes, "Oh."
Seeing him like this, Isadora couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
But they were in a cold war, in an argument, and she didn't know what to say.
She used to be sharp-tongued, but now she couldn't seem to say anything.
Ulysses placed the flowers in her arms. "Then, Isadora, what do I have to do for you to forgive me?"
Isadora pouted, "I told you we're not suitable. My family wants someone to marry into our family. Can you do that?"
Isadora knew that Ulysses would definitely not agree.
Even ordinary families would find it difficult to agree.
Not to mention, Ulysses' family was well-off.
She regretted saying it as soon as she finished.
She didn't care about the marrying-in thing as much anymore.
But who knew, Ulysses spoke up.
He said, "I need to go back and discuss this with my family."
