---- Chapter 2238 "Andrew, you bought so much stuff. Let us carry it for you!" Isabelle said dully, rubbing drool from her mouth like she had just woken up. Andrew shook his head. "No need. I can handle it." Isabelle frowned. "Andrew, are you still mad at me? I admit, when you came back, I did try to kill you. But we never had any real grudge. I only did it because my father ordered me to. You know how it is... There aren''t many families that dare move against you, but the Robertsons are one of them. I had no choice. She looked almost regretful, as if the whole thing had troubled her deeply.
Mika sighed wearily. "Belle, why are you exining so much? Let''s go. We still have things to do." She was exasperated. Isabelle was exactly that kind of person: simple, thoughtless, andpletelycking a filter. She waspletely straightforward and never thought twice about anything, directly admitting that the Robertson family patriarch, her own father, had ordered her to attack Andrew. Mika honestly did not know what to say anymore. ---- Isabelle turned to Andrew again. "Andrew, you''re really tough. At least I can''t beat you.
Next time someone tells me to go after you, I definitely won''t agree to it. By the way, are you sure you don''t want me to help you carry this stuff? You bought so much, it''s going to be a hassle." Andrew sighed. "Thanks, kid, but go handle your business. I really don''t need help." Mika suddenly cut in. "You''re even buying washbasins and slippers? Is that how the Lloyd family treats you? Like a beggar?" Her tone was sharp,ced with mockery. Andrew''s eyes narrowed slightly. "Mika, back then, you weren''t so fond of gossip. Honestly, I liked the old you better.
They say girls change as they grow up, but whether they be prettier or uglier is really hard to say." Mika''s face darkened instantly. She snapped, "Drive!" The chauffeur hit the gas, and the car shot away. Andrew''s words essentially implied that she had grown uglier with age, which the proud Mika found absolutely unbearable The two of them walked back along the street toward the Lloyd family estate. ---- Natasha said with disgust, "Mika seems even more vicious than Isabelle.
At least Isabelle owns up to her actions and is just a kid who doesn''t lie or scheme." Andrew nodded in agreement. Isabelle had been fond of Andrew when she was just a little girl in the Robertson family. Even as a child, she had been strange, as no one could get close to her. Only Andrew could get candy from her hands. This time, when she attacked him, he spared her partly because of those childhood memories. Although he had no good feelings toward the Robertson family, he still thought she was a decent girl. As for Mika, Andrew shook his head, not wanting to discuss her.
Honestly, he no longer recognized who she had be. She had grown into someone who felt strange to him, even instinctively repulsive. Nheless, Andrew had not shown his disgust too openly. He kept restraining himself, and the reason was nostalgia for old times'' sake. However, he did not know how long those wouldst. He just hoped Mika would be smart about it. Andrew had not returned to Chetvine to y the good gentleman. If he were truly provoked, he would take on anyone.
" ---- Natasha, tidy up the house while I go out again." After bringing the items home, Andrew headed out once more. Not having a car was really inconvenient. Back in Gabo Creek, he had plenty of cars, but shipping them to Chetvine would be a hassle. So, he decided to just buy a new one here in Chetvine. Money was not the issue. He just needed to consider value for money. After all, he nned to rebuild the old mansion into a proper house and bring his women over. Even with plenty of money, he could not spend recklessly since he would need to save to support his familyter.
Monthly cosmetics alone for them would probably be a hefty expense. So, Andrew went for a used car. "Sir, looking at your style and the fact that you live in Chetvine, are you sure you want this used ride?" The used car dealer kept staring at Andrew.<style>
