Chapter 1812

She hid behind Cedar and said with excitement, “Big Brother! Did we encounter something like in a scene of a TV series where an ambush happens?” Cedar shifted his gaze at her and asked, “What are you trying to say?” “Will it be very exciting?!” Cedar was lost for words from Isabelle’s question. The situation in front was unclear. However, there were sounds of gunshots. Cedar hugged Bella and quickly fled the scene. Meanwhile, his enemies chased them from behind. “Big Brother, I’m a good runner!” The man smirked a little and asked, “Is that so?” Isabelle nodded hard and said, “Trust me!” Cedar held Isabelle’s hand tightly and increased his speed as they ran. They ran into a dead end—a river. Meanwhile, the chase was still ongoing behind them. Cedar asked her, “Can you swim?” Isabelle nodded and replied, “I can!” The moment she answered, Cedar carried her in his arms and jumped into the river. Cedar dragged Isabelle to the bottom of the river. When that happened, Isabelle quietly thought about what use it was, even if she could swim. Even if she could swim, she was still under Cedar’s control. Cedar swam downstream from the bottom of the river. Then, he dragged Isabelle back to the land above. He was soaked, but it did not affect his charm at all. Cedar grabbed her hand and led her to run downstream. Isabelle lost her energy after running for a few hundred meters. “Big Brother, I ran out of energy!” Cedar suddenly carried her in his arms and princess-carried her as he moved. “Ah! Big Brother, what are you doing?!” The man smiled and asked her, “Didn’t you say you ran out of energy?” Even so, she did not ask him to carry her and run! A danger like that was just another day for Cedar. He usually brought his bodyguards with him, so he did not have to get into such an embarrassing situation. Coincidentally, his bodyguards were not around that day. It was not that he was careless. Rather, he felt like being alone with her since it was a rare chance for him to have a break. Who knew that they would run into such danger? Cedar brought Isabelle back to his condominium. Cedar owned his own place in Espoo. No one else but him knew about his home there! Isabelle went to the bathroom and showered. Once she was done, she changed into Cedar’s clothes and came out of the bathroom. She then saw that Cedar had already showered too and had a band-aid on his forehead. Isabelle walked to Cedar and asked with concern, “Are you okay?” Cedar shook his head and said, “I’m fine.” “Oh,” Isabelle replied, “Earlier, thank you.” Cedar did not reply to her. Instead, he walked to the balcony and had a smoke. He said, “I’ll call Mother later and let her know that we’re resting in the city tonight. I’ll bring you back to the villa tomorrow morning.” “Oh. But I don’t have my snacks anymore,” said Isabelle. She was still thinking about her snacks. That was when Cedar remembered that her snacks were scattered all over him earlier. Only Isabelle dared to be so bold with him. Cedar wanted to lecture her a little. Despite that, it was not really his style to lecture her. In the end, he only asked, “What do you want to eat?” Isabelle’s eyes gleamed in hope as she asked, “Are you going to buy some for me?” “There’s no water at home. I’ll buy some snacks for you.” He had water at home, but he just wanted to find an excuse for her. “I want some chocolates, chips, nuts, candies, and biscuits! Big Brother Cedar, just buy anything you see in the mart!” She called him ‘Big Brother Cedar’ sweetly for the sake of her snacks. She was truly obsessed with them! “Oh. You’re not picky at all!”
