Chapter 74

Moreover, Nolan was her friend, so there was no need to hide this matter.

However, since Nolan was Michael's brother, there were some things she needed to say upfront.

"Nolan, you're not here to persuade me not to get a divorce, are you?" She had completely given up on Michael.

She thought Nolan would try to persuade her, but instead, he chuckled on the other end of the phone. "After so long without contact, you think I'm here to play peacemaker between you two?"

His questioning tone denied Isabella's assumption. "You said it yourself, we haven't been in touch for so long. Nolan, you suddenly call me now and bring up my divorce with Michael. Isn't it normal to think you're here to play peacemake?"

After all, Nolan was Michael's brother.

They were the ones with the closest blood relationship.

Isabella lay on the bed, staring at the crystal chandelier above, lost in thought. "Nolan, you know, I tried for three years, and in those three years, I couldn't make him love me. Now that I think about it, maybe I was wrong from the start. This marriage shouldn't have existed."

When they first got married, Bianca caused a lot of trouble, and Michael often left her alone at home to comfort Bianca.

He would take Bianca to watch fireworks and attend various high-end events.

Later, when Bianca returned to the country, Michael immediately went to accompany her and celebrate her birthday.

Even when she found them at night, heartbroken and asked for a divorce, it didn't soften his heart at all.

He still protected Bianca. When she revoked Bianca's endorsement, Michael had his subsidiary sign Bianca, giving her numerous resources and even letting Indigo's family move into his apartment.

Every step Michael took was hurting her heart to protect Bianca.

When disappointment accumulated to a certain extent, she completely lost hope in Michael.

Even though she had loved Michael for over a decade, she decided to let go.

She couldn't talk about these things with Thomas and the others, but she knew Nolan understood her feelings at this moment.

When she married into the Brown Family and Michael neglected her, it was Nolan who comforted her like a brother.

She didn't have a brother, and over time, she naturally regarded Nolan as one.

She was afraid that if Nolan spoke, she might waver.

After all, in her heart, Nolan's position was still very important.

"I understand everything."

"I understand everything," On the other end of the phone, Nolan sighed softly, "Calling you so suddenly, I just wanted to tell you, Isabella, do what you want to do. Whatever choice you make, I support you."

Isabella could hardly believe what she heard. "Nolan, you're really not going to persuade me? I thought you would side with Michael."

After all, their relationship was closer.

"No, I respect every choice you make because I just want you to be happy." Nolan's voice was very low and gentle, like a feather lightly brushing, warm and comforting.

At this moment, all the long-suppressed grievances in Isabella's heart were released by his words.

Her nose tingled, and tears uncontrollably streamed down her face as she choked up. "Nolan, thank you."

For so long, she had been holding on, not wanting others to see her vulnerable side, especially in front of Michael and Bianca.

"It's fine. When did our relationship become so formal? Isn't your birthday coming up? Is there anything you want?" Even when he was abroad, Nolan never forgot Isabella's birthday gift each year.

He was always generous in this regard.

But Isabella had already received the best gift, which was his understanding.

"No need for a gift. I'm just getting a year older. I only hope that I can become stronger in the future and support my grandfather's company. As for other things, there's nothing I want." If Nolan hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten about her birthday.

"Really?" Nolan said deliberately, "I thought my return to the country would make you happy. Since you don't want anything, then forget it."

Hearing that, Isabella's eyes lit up. Nolan had gone to Seraphis shortly after her marriage, and this was the first time he had actively returned to the country.

"Really? Nolan, when are you coming back? I'll pick you up. We haven't seen each other in so long."

After hanging up Isabella was genuinely happy.

Nolan's sudden return to the country, and just before her birthday.

By then, she would have divorced Michael, with free time and no one to control her.

She would definitely find time to catch up with Nolan.

Just as she put down her phone and cleared her mind, planning to take a bath, she heard someone knocking on the door.

"Who is it?"

No one answered.

Isabella frowned. Jesse had booked the best room in the hotel, so it was unlikely anyone would disturb her at this time.

She couldn't help but thought, 'And where is Jesse? Isn't he outside? Why doesn't he stop them?'

"Room service, please open the door!"

The voice outside was low, but it was faintly recognizable as a woman's. Isabella frowned and went to open the door. "Didn't I say I didn't want to be disturbed? You..."

Halfway through her sentence, Isabella was stunned by the beautiful face in front of her.

Standing in front of her was Olivia, wearing a sexy black mini dress, and a guilty-looking Jesse.

Olivia looked like she had just come back from a night out, with heavy makeup, a camisole, sequined stockings, and a mini dress, plus those high heels.

If it weren't for her mischievous smile, no one would recognize her as the famous star Olivia.

"Did I disturb you, Isabella?" Olivia flirtatiously reached out to lift Isabella's chin. "On such a cold night, how could I let you sleep alone? So I brought myself here."

After saying that, Olivia couldn't help but laughed.

Isabella slapped her hand away and pulled Olivia into the room. "Why are you here? No, how did you know I was here? And what's with this outfit? It's the middle of the night, aren't you cold?"

In the late autumn weather, Olivia was barely wearing anything. Just looking at her made Isabella feel cold.

Olivia put her arm around Isabella's shoulder and said as they walked, "You don't know? The news of your impending divorce with Michael is all over the internet. I thought you might need some company, so I came to find you."

Olivia said it lightly, but Isabella raised an eyebrow. "So, who told you where I am?"

She wanted to know so she could be more cautious in the future.

Olivia didn't intend to hide it from her and said directly, "You know him too, who is Mr. Wilson. Of course, he didn't say it outright, but I guessed it."

In Evergreen City, aside from Thomas, no one else knew where she was.

Moreover, Thomas was always meticulous. At this time, he must worry about her, so he leaked the information to Olivia.
