Chapter 1811

Cedar observed the little girl in front of him. Her previously blue hair with pink highlights was already dyed brown. She had no makeup on, and she looked like an extremely obedient girl. However, she still wore skimpy and sexy clothes. Her cherry lips looked so tempting as they moved. “Mother told me to bring you home.” Cedar repeated himself and stared at her snacks. He had always known that Isabelle was obsessed with snacks. It had always been the same from the past until then. She was still the same little girl who was obsessed with candies, desserts, and sweet snacks. That part of her made him feel a little closer to her. The little girl who used to be clingy with him was still there. She used to always call his name as she demanded hugs. She still loved her candies. It was just that they became slightly unfamiliar with each other after a long while. “Big Brother, I don’t want to go home,” replied Isabelle. The man’s expression remained unchanged as he said, “Mother is worried for your safety.” “But you’re here!” Isabelle gripped her bag of snacks tightly and continued, “Mother trusts you the most. She won’t be worried if I’m with you! Big Brother, please don’t take me home yet.” Isabelle blinked and stared at Cedar with a kittenish look. She loved acting that way with anyone she met. Cedar fell silent before he ordered, “Get in the car.” Isabelle was unsure if Cedar agreed to or denied her request. She quietly walked past him and got into the car. While she sat in the car, she brainstormed an excuse to convince him to let her stay in the city. Cedar waited for her to get in the car before he did. Once he got into the car, he instructed the driver, “As usual.” Isabelle tilted her head. What did he mean by ‘as usual’? Isabelle wanted to ask him about it. However, it was evident that he did not want to speak further because he looked so cold and quiet. With that, Isabelle decided not to ask, just in case it became awkward. After all, Cedar’s reaction was inexplicably strange to her! The car moved quickly. It was then when Isabelle noticed they were not on their way home. She let out a sigh of relief in her mind when she realized that he was not going back to the villa! It was easier to relax her nerves when her mood improved. She subconsciously hummed a little. Then, she opened a bag of chips and enjoyed them happily. She would occasionally peek at the man beside her. That man liked to play with the ring on his finger. The ring in the middle was the same as the one on her neck. It was a gift from their mother. As she munched on her chips, she mumbled, “SY.” Cedar turned aside and stared at her, “Hm?” “The ring is engraved with the initials SY. Mother said S represents Schick, so Y represents Yach. That’s Big Brother’s family name. However, when the initial SY combined it would mean us as a family. Mother said this ring holds great meaning to the three of us. It represents us as a family. We will have to trust and support each other for life. I’ve always remembered what Mother said.” Cedar asked her in return, “I thought you didn’t acknowledge me?” His voice was extremely cold and low. Isabelle should have disliked his tone, but his voice was just too melodious to her! She shook her head and denied it. “Since when have I not acknowledged you? I’ve always referred to you as ‘Big Brother’. It’s just that I haven’t spent much time with you, so we don’t really have any fond feelings for each other. However, I trust you from the bottom of my heart. Isn’t it ‘SY’? We are a family!” Somehow, Cedar’s mood became happier when he listened to how she said they were a family. He relaxed his body and leaned back against the seat. The moment he relaxed a little, the car crashed into another car coming in the opposite direction. Bang! Cedar subconsciously hugged Isabelle in his arms at the speed of light! Isabelle was still holding the chips earlier, but they were scattered all over because of the impact. Isabelle stared at the man in front as she was full of shock. He hugged her tightly and protected her under his chest. However, his forehead was bleeding. He probably hurt his head from the crash earlier! It was not as important compared to her. What was most important was that she was his first priority. His reaction was almost instinctive! “Big Brother, are you okay?” The man replied in a hoarse voice, “I’m fine.” Then, he comforted her and added, “Everything will be alright.” “Mr. Yach, it’s our enemy.” As the man heard that, he quickly released her and opened the car door. He pulled her out and made her hide behind the car. For the past eighteen years of Isabelle’s life, she had been well and safely protected by Zachary. She had never gotten into such a dangerous situation like what she had encountered that day. That was why she could not help but feel a little nervous. Her nervousness did not arise due to fear. Rather, it was the excitement from the dangerous adventure.
