Chapter 1485 Lingering Concerns

For reasons she couldn't quite fathom, Roxanna nodded. She sat in Isaac's embrace, and in an instant, she felt her senses amplified countless times.

She felt like she could even clearly sense his body temperature.

"Alright, you should put me down now."

Roxanna nodded, feeling Isaac's body temperature, and said somewhat shyly.

She attempted to disentangle herself, but Isaac was too strong for her to break free.

As Isaac shook his head, his hold on Roxanna tightened. "No, I want to keep you close like this. Is that alright? You're my girlfriend, after all. Is it wrong for me to hold you this way?"

He seemed somewhat sulky, noticing a shift in her expression.

Roxanna caught this subtle change. Hearing his words, she allowed Isaac to continue holding her, her mind wandering off into the distance.

She had never imagined Isaac could be so boyishly charming before they became a couple. However, she found his childlike demeanor endearing.

Isaac was oblivious to the thoughts of the woman in his arms, but he felt a sense of fulfillment just holding Roxanna this way.

He had been preoccupied with Kendrick's affairs recently and hadn't had a good night's sleep in days.

"What's wrong?" Roxanna asked when she saw the fatigue etched on Isaac's face. She tried to turn her head to get a better look at him.

But before she could fully turn, Isaac gently guided her head back to its original position.

"You are tired, aren't you? I want to look at you. It's not fair that you get to look at me, but I can't do the same."

Roxanna suspected that something might have happened at the company, so she deliberately spoke with a hint of dissatisfaction. She wanted to use this approach to get Isaac to open up to her.

"No can do."

Isaac shook his head while holding her tighter as if he wished to merge her into his very being.

"I want to look at you, Isaac." NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Realizing that being too assertive wouldn't work, Roxanna thought for a moment and then pretended to plead with a teary tone.

"It's been so long since I've seen you. You picked me up as soon as we met. I haven't had a good look at you before I got all shy and pulled away. Don't even mention seeing. I didn't even get to hold your hand. And now, you're acting like this… Aren't you going to let me ease this love sickness a bit?"

Roxanna's feigned crying was convincing, and Isaac began to panic.

He hadn't intended to upset her; he merely wanted to hold her close, but he hadn't anticipated her tears.

Isaac was momentarily at a loss, flustered by her reaction.

Feeling his grip around her waist slacken, she seized the opportunity to sit up and embrace Isaac. "Tell me, what's bothering you?"

As she spoke, Roxanna realized that Isaac might be troubled by Kendrick's affairs. If that was the case, it would be best for her to steer clear of the topic.

After all, everyone knew about the overseas medical base's collaboration with Kendrick.

"If you're comfortable sharing, I'm here to listen. But if you'd rather not, that's okay too. I have faith in your ability to handle it,"

Roxanna added after a pause.

Hearing this, Isaac looked up at Roxanna's confident expression. Her adorable demeanor left him momentarily spellbound.

"What's wrong? Why are you gawking at me like that?"

Roxanna asked, meeting his gaze with a puzzled look.

"It's nothing. The issue isn't something that can't be discussed; it's a bit complicated. If I share it with you, you'll end up worrying alongside me," Isaac replied softly, his arms instinctively tightening around Roxanna.
