CHAPTER 31

Isabella's POV

The ride back home is in extreme, awkward silence. We left the mansion in a hurry even though I know Jayden wanted me to spend more time with his family but his mother ruined it all.

The atmosphere became tense and moody. Jayden stood up and asked us to leave for home.

I was glad. I was already uncomfortable with all the pitiful stares I was getting after the men apologized for Mrs. Russell's behavior.

Apparently, she doesn't like me. She has been pretending all along to like me but she doesn't in reality.

No wonder she made fun of my sleepwear. No wonder she asked me to undress Jayden. This is all in an attempt to frustrate me.

She is mad at me for rejecting her offer.

I can not accept her offer. Even though she is willing to offer me way more than Jayden gave, I am going to be loyal to Jayden till the end.

He helped me when I was in desperate need of help. If he had ignored me when I asked for his help, what would have happened to Grandma by now?
