CHAPTER 75

Isabella's POV

When he smiled at me and I didn't reciprocate, his countenance changed and he figured out that something was wrong.

He must have figured out my answer just from merely looking at my unsmiling face because the next thing he does is sigh heavily.

He stretches his hand for me to take and I hesitate. Jayden is lurking around somewhere watching us. I can't let him touch me anyhow he wants now that Jayden and I are together because I know how jealous Jayden can be.

What is between Jayden and me doesn't feel right but I love it. I love how he makes me feel.

"Is everything ok?" He questions, watching me carefully.

"I have some things to tell you", I declare openly, standing awkwardly in front of him.

He flashes me a smile, his cute face looking peaceful. "Let's sit, then?"

I nod.

Leading me to the street bench, he continues smiling as he peers down at me, as though he can read through me.
