Chapter 21
Leonard arrived in Australia and found Isabelle working at a winery.
Isabelle stood quietly at the entrance of the wine cellar, holding a brown workbook in her hands.
Unlike before, her hair has grown a lot now, with a slight curl and dyed brown. She is wearing a fitted and ironed work uniform, quietly counting inventory in the wine cellar.
Her focused look was like nothing Leonard had ever seen before.
Isabelle looked at the workbook in her hand, the pen in her hand still writing something non–stop, her eyes calm, looking extremely composed and efficient.
The moment Leonard saw Isabelle again, he realized how much he had missed her.
He suddenly felt like an unwelcome guest who would disturb the tranquility and peace of the person in front of him, as long as he took one step forward.
But Leonard knew that he would regret it if he didn’t do it.
“Bella, I came to apologize…”
When Isabelle saw that the visitor was Leonard, her face changed color and she immediately turned to leave.
Leonard hurried forward and grabbed Isabelle’s arm with trembling hands. He held on tightly, afraid that Isabelle would leave again and disappear

from his world.
Furthermore, it was also a desire to touch and confirm whether the person in front of them was real.
Leonard still didn’t have a definite sense of reality.
“I didn’t accept.”
Isabelle used her hands to slowly pry Leonard’s hand off her arm. As each finger was pried open, Leonard greedily gazed at Isabelle, who was finally within arm’s reach.
She seemed to have lost some weight, but she looked much healthier, even the small mole beside her eyelid now looked so familiar and lovely.
But the small face in front of him was full of struggle and panic, he unconsciously lowered his head, realizing that his fingers were being slowly pried open, a strong sense of unease and panic suddenly rushed to Leonard’s mind, his voice urgent and frantic: “Bella! Can you give me a chance?”
The landlady next door had just come out of the door, holding a watering can in her hand, ready to water the flowers.
The winery was not far from here, Isabelle was outside again, the landlady saw Isabelle seemed to be harassed by a man, she quickly grabbed the hose and shouted as she ran over: “Bella, I’m here!”
Shouting, the rather bulky landlady ran straight towards Leonard and bumped into him with her shoulder.
Leonard winced in pain, took a step back, and his lower leg almost gave out straight back, but luckily he managed to stabilize his body in time.
“Who are you? If you keep bothering me, I’ll hit you so hard even your
own mother won’t recognize you!”
The landlady waved the shower head in her hand, looking fierce and protective like a mother hen.
“I was Isabelle’s husband!”
Isabelle immediately retorted, grabbing the landlady’s arm and saying, “It was my ex–husband!”
“We had already divorced a long time ago.”
The landlady didn’t know what had happened between the two of them. She glanced at the man in front of her, then at Isabelle, and saw the panic. on her face. She immediately realized that Isabelle was very resistant to the man’s approach.
Waving the shower head in her hand, the landlady took a few steps closer and mercilessly struck Leonard.
Leonard did not expect the woman in front of him to suddenly strike him. without warning. Caught off guard, he was hit heavily by the shower head, feeling the pain in his arm. He had to step back, and back again.
The weight of the shower head is not light, it is still a large capacity shower head. If he really gets hit many times, bruises. will definitely appear on his body.
Leonard didn’t dare to approach any closer, so he could only shout from a distance to Isabelle, “Bella, I really did come to apologize…”
However, as soon as these words were spoken, the landlady once again. waved the large shower head in her hand and rushed over.
Leonard quickly stepped back to protect himself and then ran a little further away.

Seeing Leonard being chased away by the landlady, Isabelle reluctantly took a few steps forward, constantly looking back. She felt a suffocating sensation enveloping her, making her feel like she was about to suffocate.
Just seeing Leonard, she felt nervous and anxious.
Isabelle pulled on the landlady’s clothes in frustration and thanked her. The landlady, seeing Isabelle’s expression, patted her hand reassuringly and comforted her, “Don’t be afraid, the next time I see this guy, I’ll give him a piece of my mind!”
Isabelle nodded touched, her eyes slowly hiding the glistening tears.
Yes, she was not the same Isabelle as before.
She was not alone.
At this moment, Leonard was watching the two figures from afar slowly turning into two invisible black dots, disappearing from his sight.
Bella must have been very angry when she saw herself, she must not have given up on herself.
With this in mind, Leonard decided to first call and find a hotel to stay in temporarily, and then consider his options carefully.
He kept comforting himself.
Isabelle loved him so much; she could never completely give him up.
