Chapter 153 She Captured His Heart

• Isabelle could hardly complete her statement because of how much her voice quivered. Unsure of what to say, Julian stared at her. Isabelle's cheeks paled even more when she saw that Julian remained silent. "But, Little Leaf, my heart really aches," she said, touching her heart. I'm aware that I shouldn't push things. After much waiting, today finally arrived. I'm really upset. "Sorry," replied Julian sternly. Isabelle said, "You don't have to say sorry; I..." while rubbing her eyes.

Susan was the first to answer the phone. "Susie, where are you?"
