“Who are you exactly? Why did you interfere in our business?”
Leonard originally wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Douglas, and now he is glaring angrily at Douglas.
But Douglas lightly patted Leonard’s shoulder and said calmly, “I am Bella’s suitor.”
“You’d better go home now, she is mine.”
Leonard did not expect to receive such an answer. He immediately became serious and looked the foreign man up and down.
From the way he dressed and his physique, this foreign man had an outstanding appearance, with well–proportioned body and muscles that were subtly defined, definitely not someone easily dealt with.
“Isabelle didn’t like you.”
む
Leonard said decisively, with the thought in his mind that. Isabelle would only like someone like him.
“Oh? Does she not like me, who is so handsome, and instead likes you, this old man?”
Leonard’s eyes widened involuntarily, and he exclaimed in disbelief, “Uncle?”
Although he was indeed much older than the foreign man in front of him, even ten years older than Isabelle, Leonard considered himself well- maintained and would meticulously groom himself every day.

Douglas, however, ignored him and pushed the man out of the winery, clapping his hands. The people around him immediately obeyed Douglas’s orders, grabbed Leonard and threw him out the door.
The next time I come back, I will throw it again.
Here is my home, and also Bella’s.
After speaking, the winery gate was closed, and Leonard was directly
shut out.
He was banging on the door frantically, but there was no response.
Leonard had to kick the door before deciding to leave.
At this moment, Douglas had already arrived at the restaurant in a convertible, looking dashing. As soon as his tall figure appeared, Isabelle looked at him with concern.
“Douglas could handle this matter well.”
Douglas noticed the worried look on Isabelle’s face and sat directly on the chair next to her. His face was full of smiles, and his eyes were fixed on Isabelle without any concealment. “Dealing with the worries of a loved one is what a qualified pursuer should do.
The handsome face so close to her was saying such sweet words, making Isabelle feel a bit flushed. Her heart was beating fiercely, and she couldn’t bring herself to look at Douglas anymore.

A pair of fiery eyes kept staring at Isabelle, making Nathalia laugh out loud: “I can see that Douglas really likes you a lot. From the moment he hasn’t even entered the room until now, his eyes have never left you.”
“Even my sister didn’t say hello to me.”
Isabelle was a bit flustered, unsure of how to respond for a moment, and just ate the food in her bowl frantically.
On the side, Douglas immediately gave Nathalia a warning look, telling her not to say anything more.
Nathalia looked at the two of them teasingly, with a spoon in her mouth, laughing happily.
After the dinner party, Nathalia made an excuse to go to another party, and Douglas naturally offered to take Isabelle home.
In the car, Douglas would even sing to Isabelle, his voice was extremely unique and clear, with a lazy and comfortable pronunciation, making Isabelle couldn’t help but hum along.
Douglas kept recommending good songs, each melody was pleasant and soothing. They chatted about recent events in these wonderful tunes.
Everything Isabelle said, Douglas’s reactions were always very interesting. He always looked at a problem from an angle that Isabelle had never thought of.
When she mentioned that the winery currently lacked a suitable ambassador, Douglas would say that you were the best choice.

by not knowing what kind of flowers would be easier to care for. Douglas would say, “You don’t need to worry about that. No matter what kind of flower, as long as you take care of it seriously, it will eventually become as beautiful as you.”
Every sentence is an affirmation and praise for Isabelle, his eyes sincere, but not in a joking manner when he says these words.
Instead of a casual tone, Isabelle’s gaze was drawn to Douglas’s deep eyes whenever they met, unconsciously.
And was deeply attracted, causing a blush to spread across the face.
They were talking as they stopped the car some distance away from Isabelle’s house. They got out of the car effortlessly and walked side by side, laughing together.
Under the orange–yellow light, the two figures were close, chatting happily, often making eye contact. Isabelle’s face was already adorned with a faint smile, her eyes unconsciously looking towards Douglas.
Watching all of this, Leonard, who was hiding in the dark, felt a bitter jealousy in his heart, his fists clenched tightly.
