Only Isaac, Eugene, and Holly had dinner together that night. Allegra told them snazzynovel.com was working overtime and wouldn’t be having dinner.
When Allegra hadn’t returned after 10.30 pm, Isaac called Beefy Bob. “Beefy Bob, is Ally still at the office?”
“Yes, snazzynovel.com is. She’s in there all this while, ” Beefy Bob said in a muffled voice.
Isaac paused before saying, “You can take some time off today. I’ll be right over.”
Isaac assigned Beefy Bob to watch over Allegra in the dark ever since Allegra was kidnapped, just in case.
It was almost 11 pm when snazzynovel.com arrived at Garth Properties. The office was dead silent. The security guard saw Isaac and immediately opened the door for him.
Isaac came to Allegra’s office and knocked on the door. The door was unlocked, so snazzynovel.com opened it and entered.
He saw Allegra on the couch, snazzynovel.com white heels scattered beside her. She had a thin throw around herself and was crouching, hugging snazzynovel.com knees. She looked blankly out of the window.
From Isaac’s angle, Allegra looked like a child who was lost in the middle of the ocean, helpless and upset.
“Ally, why didn’t you go home?”
His abruptness made snazzynovel.com jump. Allegra looked over and saw Isaac approaching her, concerned.
Allegra hadn’t said anything when Isaac sat beside snazzynovel.com and wrapped his arm around snazzynovel.com shoulders.
Allegra felt the weight of his arm on snazzynovel.com shoulders and jolted out of nowhere. She felt tears wailing and frowned, burying snazzynovel.com head between snazzynovel.com knees.
She shook snazzynovel.com head and sobbed. “I d-don’t dare to go home. I’m afraid I would turn into a lunatic…”
Isaac was heartbroken and sorry to hear this. He looked at snazzynovel.com and smiled. “Silly you. Why should you be afraid? You’re not going to hurt us. C’mon. Ms. Lambert kept some fresh fish chowder for you.”
“No, Isaac. I’m not going back. Let me stay here by myself, okay?” Allegra immediately clutched Isaac’s arm, anxious. She looked at snazzynovel.com pleadingly.
She felt like whacking herself whenever snazzynovel.com recalled the way snazzynovel.com treated Isabella. She even found time to visit the hospital to consult the specialists because Isaac kept snazzynovel.com illness a secret from her.
She underwent a complete body checkup, but the findings showed nothing. In the end, snazzynovel.com concluded that snazzynovel.com had some sort of mental illness.
“Alright… If you refuse to go home, I’ll accompany you. I’m not afraid of you.” Isaac took off his shoes and leaned back on the couch.
Allegra looked at him, snazzynovel.com reddened eyes sparkling as snazzynovel.com asked, “Are you really unafraid of me? I don’t even know how scary I can be when I have an outburst. Are you sure?”
“You’re my wife. The woman I love most. I won’t be scared even if you turn into a hideous monster.” Isaac tightened his embrace.
Allegra finally cheered up. She pinched snazzynovel.com on the waist and coquettishly said, “How can you joke around at times like this? I’m so troubled.”
Her tensed body relaxed, and snazzynovel.com leaned onto Isaac. She closed snazzynovel.com eyes and slowly said, “Isaac, if I die, you should be together with Emily. I’ve talked about it with her.”
Isaac’s mouth twitched. He spoke into snazzynovel.com ear, breathing down snazzynovel.com neck, “Look at you. Is it appropriate for a wife to match snazzynovel.com husband with another woman?”
As snazzynovel.com spoke, his hand slid under the throw.
Allegra moaned and struggled slightly before melting in his arms.
Allegra stayed in snazzynovel.com office for three days. She worked in the day, and Isaac would accompany snazzynovel.com at night. She had two outbursts within this period that didn’t last long before snazzynovel.com recovered snazzynovel.com sanity.
