Chapter 44
Yvette was Isabel's cousin. In her previous life, Mayra and Yvette didn't get along well because Mayra had an ordinary background and was always pestering Anderson. Yvette couldn't stand her and regarded her as a source of problems for him and tried to drive her away.
She felt troubled when she thought of Yvette. There was no need for her to cause any more chaos. It was probably Yvette who was with Isabel in the mall last time. At that time, she only focused on Isabel and didn't notice the people around her.
Getting Isabel's hint, she nodded and agreed. "I'm fine with it as long as I won't bring you trouble."
It was the weekend, and Mayra was free anyway. She couldn't avoid the invitation. What was supposed to come would always come. At worst, she could stay away from Yvette.
Anderson appeared to see through her thoughts. "If you don't want to come, you can rest at home."
She smiled. "No. I'm glad to accept Isa's offer."
As they left the restaurant, Isabel let go of Anderson's hand, turned around, and smiled at Mayra. "We're going to Barlow mansion. Andy, can Mayra take a car with me? I want to chat with her."
He didn't even look at Isabel and responded, "Let her choose." After that, he got in the car.
Regardless of whether Isabel was wary, Mayra believed Isabel sought to separate her from Anderson.
After all, they weren't related by blood. Even if there was an age gap, outsiders would always overthink and misunderstand their relationship.
Mayra didn't want to offend Isabel or make her believe that she had anything to do with Anderson, so she nodded. "Okay, Isa. I'll follow you."
After they got into the car, the driver closed the door and followed Anderson's car steadily.
Isabel suddenly grabbed Mayra's hand and said, "Don't be nervous. I won't harm you. Were you with Andy overnight? He didn't bully you, right? I just heard you two quarreling. If he scolds you, just tell me. I'll help you teach him a lesson."
In her previous life, Mayra always despised Isabel's hypocrisy. But now, she was forced to confront it and could only accept her current circumstances.
She lowered her head and responded, "He was angry about what happened yesterday. I didn't go to school for the parent-teacher meeting, and you both had waited all day. He scolded me harshly and forced me to eat raw steak and spoiled cake.
"He also threatened me that if I got too close to Gordon, he would target Gordon. Isa, I didn't mean it. I thought Andy wouldn't show up, so I went to watch a movie with Gordon."
Isabel asked in confusion, "Gordon? It sounds like a boy's name. Do you like him?"
Mayra admitted it without hesitation. "Isa, please don't tell Andy about that. He'll be furious if he knows about it. He almost punished me by making me stand against the wall all night because of what happened last night."
She stated this to make Isabel give up her suspicions and let down her guard. Rather than allowing Isabel to misunderstand her relationship with Anderson, she had to admit that she had something to do with Gordon.
Those were also her sincere words. She was too young now. When she became an adult, she planned to be nicer to Gordon, just like what he had done in her previous life.
Isabel smiled, becoming more gentle. She displayed the ladylike manner of a socialite. "It's wrong to fall in love early. You're still young and only a freshman in high school. You should study hard. We
can keep the fact that you like Gordon a secret. I won't tell Andy about it.
"He told me everything about you. He cherishes relationships, and your parents saved his life. Since he raised you, he naturally treats you as family. His kindness to you is nothing more than a brother- sister relationship.
"Andy is the only scion of the Barlows, and you're his only sister. Who else will he treat well if not you?"All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
