Love or Leave Behind Novel

“It’s not like that. 11 Sam hadn’t been protecting her, everyone would’ve ignored her. They just didn’t dare to offend Sam.”

“Aren’t you afraid of him?

“Me? Not so much.” Luke could guess Isabelle’s upcoming question. Before she could ask, he said, “How is she doing now?”

As Loke fell silent, the atmosphere grew heavy, Isabelle checked her phone and casually asked, “Have they set a date?”

You mean Natasha and Sam?”

“Who else would I mean

Luke thought for a moment. “It seems they’ve postponed it. Natasha was hospitalized recently and is still recovering at home.”

“She’s just taking it for sympathy.” Isabelle didn’t buy Natasha’s story and believed it was a play to get attention from men. In her experience, men always fell for the needy ones and mistreated those who truly cared for them.

Isabelle believed shelmaine must’ve loved Samuel. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have rushed into marriage with him. That was so out of character for Shelmaine unless she genuinely

fell for someone.

Luke replied, “It might not be an act. Natasha has had mental issues for a while. After her brother’s accident, her condition got worse.”

“Who cares about her condition? That’s none of my business.”

“I know that you dislike Natasha because of Shelmaine, but don’t jump to conclusions. Her illness is real…” Luke tried to stay neutral. He doubted anyone would take something like that, especially after Peter’s death had made things worse for Natasha

Isabelle felt irritated and snapped, “So, I’m the awful one for doubting ber? And she’s the pitiful victim here?”

“Isabelle, that’s not what I mean. I’m just stating facts, not attacking you.”

“You’re being factual, and I’m not? Sometimes, I do envy Natasha. She’s got a dead brother whose friends all rally around her. She can even use his death to get the man she wants How ridiculous!”

Isabelle retorted with a mocking smile. She leaned back with her arms crossed.

Luke looked at her with disappointment. “Isabelle, this isn’t necessary. There’s no need to drag her brother into this. You asked me out with intentions, and I’ve shared what I know. But I didn’t expect this.”

Isabelle cut him off, “Yes, I had ulterior motives for meeting you. I want to make i

trouble for Natasha and Samuel because they deserve IL Do you have a problem with that? Since the meal was a lost cause, Isabelle abruptly stood up. She tossed some cash on the table and prepared to leave.

Luke also stood up and protested, “Is that necessary? Isabelle, I canceled work to meet you. What’s the meaning of this?”

“My apologies, then. Are you happy now?

“You..” Luke was struck speechless

Isabele walked out

After leaving the restaurant, she was so furious that she lit a cigarette as she stood on the sidewalk. It was the first time she had ever reached out to Luke. However, he had called her awful and even defended Natasha.

Not only did she fail to gather any information, but she had also ended up arguing with Luke. In frustration, she blocked his number to avoid further contact

Realizing that they all sided with Natasha, she understood why shelmaine had divorced Samuel so quickly. She would’ve done the same.

Isabelle felt it was a shame she didn’t get the information she wanted
