Chapter 336 Her Fish Died
At eight o’clock in the evening, Seth changed into fresh clothes and walked out of his
room with a stern expression. It was only when he entered the living room that he
realized Isabella had not returned. He felt annoyed, thinking that Isabella was starting
to overstep her boundaries. Just because she had gone to the countryside with him,
she seemed to believe she could do whatever she pleased.
Turning around twice, he suddenly noticed the fish tank at the entrance. The two fish
that should have been lively inside were now floating lifelessly, belly-up.
It suddenly dawned on him that he had unplugged the power source earlier and
forgotten to plug it back in after taking a shower. Isabella had put in a lot of effort to
raise those fish. He vividly remembered that day when she had flirted with him and
then hidden in her room, refusing to come out.
Now, the two unsightly fish were dead. If Isabella comes back… If she does, will he have

to explain to her?

He glanced at the dead fish with cold eyes, casually turned the power back on, and
thought that maybe the fish were as cunning as Isabella, playing dead. After several
attempts, the two fish still couldn’t turn over, floating belly-up.
He could ignore everything else, but that woman had recently learned to cry. What if
she came back and found the fish dead and started crying, making a scene, or even
threatening to harm herself? Mr. Shaffer felt annoyed, standing in front of the fish tank
in silence for a moment.
Ten minutes later, he made a call to Jordan. “Get two state banquet chefs over here,
now.”
Isabella spoke impulsively and then realized she couldn’t take it back.

Corey didn’t even touch the cake. He rented a motorcycle and drove her to the outskirts
directly. When they arrived at the entrance of the sanatorium, Corey didn’t go in. He
stared at the door plate for a while, then sat down by the roadside. “I can’t go in.”
Isabella was still holding the cake, looking at the boy with his head down, feeling a bit
uneasy. “Can your mom answer the phone?”
Corey wiped his face with both hands, his smile somewhat desolate. “She has people
watching her every move, and she probably doesn’t even know how to use a phone
now.”
Isabella was shocked, thinking that the Compton Family was too cruel. They were
slowly driving a person insane. She sat down next to Corey, placed the cake on a higher
curb, and carefully opened it. “Then let’s light a candle outside, and I’ll sing you a
birthday song.”
Corey lifted his head, his beautiful eyes squinting slightly as he stared at Isabella. “Bella,

are you this kind to everyone?”
Isabella shrugged. “You’re overthinking it. I just see that you’re young.”
“Young?” Corey raised an eyebrow and reached around Isabella’s waist.

Isabella was startled, about to move away, but realized he was reaching for the small
candle behind her.
Corey unwrapped the candle while speaking in a slow tone. “I’m already twenty-one.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Isabella sighed. “So young, I’m truly envious.”
Corey’s lips curled up as he inserted the candles one by one, then lit them with a lighter.
Through the faint candlelight, Isabella could vaguely sense something profound in the
boy’s eyes. She didn’t understand what it was, but she felt a sense of pity for him.

“Make a wish.”
“I didn’t have any wishes before, but now I do.”
Isabella was curious and couldn’t help asking, “Do you hope to see your mom?”

“Of course not.” The boy sneered, clasped his hands together, and lowered his head. “I
hope…”
The surroundings fell silent, and Isabella didn’t hear Corey’s wish. However, a clear
ringtone broke the silence.
Corey lifted his head, pouting slightly in annoyance. “Can you not answer it? It must be
someone asking you to go back.”
Isabella was unable to answer the phone as she was still holding the cake and had no
free hands. She thought about asking Corey to hold it for a moment, but he had already

begun blowing out the candles. The ringtone persisted for a while before eventually
fading away.
