Leonard stepped out and stood in front of Isabelle.
Douglas was taken aback when he saw Leonard approaching again. He immediately prepared to step in front of Isabelle, but she stopped him.
She grabbed Douglas’s arm and whispered, “This is not the way to go, let me handle it, okay?”
Douglas nodded, but still insisted on waiting for her outside.
Isabelle felt a warm surge in her heart, which gave her even more courage to face it.
She stared at Leonard directly and said firmly, “Let’s have a good talk.”
Leonard followed Isabelle into hèr cabin and sat down in a seat by the window. Isabelle glanced outside at Douglas, who waved at her.
Leonard, who witnessed the scene, felt increasingly uneasy.
“I thought you had already been together with Anora.”
After Isabelle got straight to the point and finished speaking, she continued, “Since I am Anora’s stand–in, and you love her enough to donate a kidney for her, why not be together?”
The casual words made Leonard feel a little embarrassed, and he didn’t know how to respond for a moment.
Isabelle got up to pour him a glass of water, but her eyes were fixed on Douglas outside the window, who was looking down at the soil on the

Leonard made up his mind and spoke sincerely, “Bella, I’m sorry, but I really do like you. After you left, I felt empty no matter what I did.”
“I saw clearly into my heart, and realized that I love you.”
Isabelle seemed surprised by what he said, looking at him skeptically without saying anything.
Hesitating, Leonard glanced at Douglas outside and quickly said, “I hope you can give me a chance. I will start pursuing you again, and I will definitely treat you well in the future.”
“Have we been living well these past two years, haven’t we?”
Isabelle shook her head and took a sip of water before saying, “It’s too late, I have completely stopped loving you. Today, I just wanted to put an end to it and make you give up.”
“Leonard, can you completely leave Australia, completely exit my life? Your presence, now, is a big trouble for me.”
Leonard, unwilling to give up, immediately pointed at Douglas outside the window and exclaimed loudly, “Is it because of this foreigner that you don’t want to be with me anymore?”
Isabelle’s face darkened, and she sneered, “You’re mistaken. Even without him, I wouldn’t turn back.”
“However, he was really nice. I enjoyed being with him and planned to give it a try.”
Leonard’s face turned pale, looking at Isabelle in front of him with eyes

He knew that he would never have the chance again.
A person’s eyes do not lie. From start to finish, Isabelle’s gaze towards him was filled with disgust and mockery.
And in her eyes at this moment, there was only Douglas.
Leonard wanted to struggle a little longer, but he couldn’t think of any reason to keep Isabelle.
I…
Isabelle saw that he wanted to say something else, so she directly called Douglas on the phone, her voice calm: “Douglas, I have said everything I need to say. You can come in now.”
This was a blatant eviction.
Leonard’s heart was completely drenched with warmth, and his pride prevented him from saying another word.
He rushed out the door, drove straight back to the hotel, hastily packed up all his luggage, and then headed to the airport.
While waiting at the airport, Leonard was feeling very dejected. He knew for certain that there was no longer any possibility between him and Isabelle.
And all of this was caused by himself.
The thought of Douglas and Isabelle being intimate at this moment made him feel as if a heavy stone was pressing on his heart, leaving him unable to breathe.
