A Good Bargain

In the afternoon they were getting ready to leave the island. Andrea wanted to ask Isabella about her reaction from their earlier conversation, but they would all not fit in one seaplane. 

While they were still in the family villa, packing, she pleaded with her husband for her and Hanxi to ride with Isabella instead, but Lu Fang would not agree. He asked, "What exactly are you planning, babe?"

Seeing him cross his arms against his chest as he probed, she pursed her lips before answering, "Babe, I'm thinking maybe Isabella will like Hanxi instead of me. So I'm pushing them together!"

The man shook his head. He thought, 'Here goes my wife again, planning for the lives of others.'

Lu Fang held her face with both hands and said, "Babe, you can't do this. You can't force things on them. One other matter we should remember is that Isabella may not yet be ready… Besides, they just met."
